Zitat des Tages über T-Stück / Tee:
Well, I think that Augusta is not the same golf course that I grew up on. Bobby Jones' philosophy was giving you space off the tee; if you put it in the right side of the fairway, you ended up getting the right angle to the green.
I'm not out there just to be dancing around. I expect to win every time I tee up.
Spin is a tricky thing. When you're trying to avoid it - say, on a tee shot, where sidespin puts you in the trees - it's easy to make it happen.
Part of wearing a tee is saying, 'I'm comfortable and casual.'
A straight factor is important in any comedy, because you need something to tee it up and also to ground it.
You draw on your own childhood every time you tee it up as an actor.
I put on whatever is comfortable on me. Suit, jeans and tee as long as it's comfortable. It doesn't matter what brand. If it looks good I buy it.
The first sport I played was baseball. I remember being on the Little League team and someone pitching the ball to me for the first time. I was ready to no longer hit the ball off the tee, and an adult pitched it to me underhand.
I'm much better off the tee. I'm not a great putter. I do not have a good short game.
So it must be my mental, because sometimes when I start on the tee, I still worry about whether my ball is going to hit right or left.
These guys that take a shower, grab a cup of coffee, and go straight to the tee? That's not the way to do it. When you warm up, hit 20 to 25 wedges, a few middle irons, and 10 to 15 3-woods and drivers. If you're going to putt, give yourself 10 minutes.
I think I can be competitive. Heck, anybody who can walk to the first tee here has a chance.
My iron game. I get into trouble a lot with my driver, so I tend to hit 3-wood off the tee.
The game itself, I think, plays into the strength of my game, which has always been tee to green, hitting the ball consistently in play and managing my game. Putting has always been the one thing that's been a bit more erratic.
But just like I've always said when people complain about tee times, 'I just want a tee time. Just give me one so I can play.'
I am always looking for a cool tee shirt; maybe one with a rock band or an old advertisement.
I feel the most confident in whatever I'm feeling at that time. Sometimes it's leather pants, a leather jacket, and a band tee, and it's motorcycle-chic. Then there are times that it's skinny jeans, a tank top, and a denim jacket. It's whatever I'm feeling that day.
You have to be sharp with all aspects of your game at Augusta. You need to put yourself in the best spot off the tee and hit the longest drive you can, but I think this is really a second-shot course. If you leave yourself with an awkward putt on the greens, it can be very tricky here.
There are three things being a celebrity is good for: raising money for charity, dinner reservations and tee times.
Growing up in Oakland, we did things like white t-shirt, blue jeans and Nikes. That was my get down, how I was going to rock. And if you look at me right now, I'm pretty much black tee, blue jeans and some sneakers.
I didn't execute to a tee. But my coach always told me if I went out there and did my own thing, it's OK as long as I win.
There was a time when all I cared about was the next game, the next party, the next tee time.
My golf score is really bad. I don't know. I'm definitely not a good golfer. Off the tee box, I can drive it about 275, and I'm in the fairway about 99% of the time. It's my next shot that needs work.
Day-to-day, I don't wear make-up, my hair's not done, and I'm in ripped jeans and a Bonds tee. But doing red carpets is just part of work.
I have a really simple wardrobe. I wear a low-scoop tee every day with a tux or leather jacket and tux pants or black jeans. That's pretty much it.
