I think that's a pretty accurate statement. So much of the game is about metal toughness and focus. Pretty tough consentrating on sinking a 13 foot putt with visions of being gangbanged by a flock of strippers, co-eds, etc......That's most of the reason I suck. Unfortunately I'm thinking about if I forgot to take the garbage cans out and or drop off the dry cleaning and the s.hit I will have to take if that indeed is the case.
Also the squeaky clean image help him land all those mega deals. So I do agree that his father kept him and that straight and narrow path.
