Then there’s Johnny Pesky, hit me countless number of ground balls and improved my fielding so much.

Golf challenges you mentally at any age, and when you become my age, it’s a challenge physically to try to make your game work as well as it ever did.

Slow thinkers are part of the game too. Some of these slow thinkers can hit a ball a long way.
