I thoroughly enjoy getting away from the game and going out fishing because it's so relaxing, so quiet and peaceful. I mean, there's no noise other than nature - and it's so different from what I do in a tournament situation that it just eases my mind. Tiger Woods
I was trying to be 27 at age 47, but God had to get rid of my vanity. I had trouble letting go of the old Lex physically.

If you are going to make a change, don't go halfway. Make it with conviction and stick with your new idea. Ignore the scoffers.
