Mike Weir Quotes
A lot of my buddies also played golf, but when it came to going to the beach or on the boat and chasing girls, they usually went that way and I went to the golf course. As for my country, I don't live there, but obviously I'm very proud to be Canadian. Canada is hockey. I actually had a Bobby Orr action figure. You could put the pads on him and skates and all that. I was 7, and he was still playing. I have a lot of offers to play for appearance fees. It's nice gravy, but it's not a big motivating factor for me, to go here and there just for money. I punch left-handed. I was not great behind the counter. I had a week off without asking for it. Another time, we had a cart go up in flames, and we went out on another cart, which we wrecked by running it into the cart that was on fire. If I can raise more money for charities, or get more Canadian kids to play golf, the green jacket will mean even more. If I thought I had hurt my chances of winning another major just because I was chasing money around, I'd wind up kicking myself. Playing hockey, there were a lot of guys bigger than me, so I knew I was going to get hit and have to deal with it. Gotta hit back. The beauty of golf, you're in charge out here. The course is going to make you look silly sometimes. You have to be able to accept that and move on. The fame aspect of winning the Masters... besides being married and becoming a father, that's a strong third there. This golf course, you miss a shot a little bit off-line, it's going to bite you. When I'm on with my putting, I'm as good a putter as there is, probably. You can be six behind on the back nine and still win the tournament.
