ability best desire felt shape though trying win work younger
I just felt like I still had the desire to work at it and still had the ability to win out here. Even though (the younger players) all think I'm old, I'm only 45 and I'm in the best shape I've ever been in. So I'm trying to get back to where I think I should be.
age-and-aging best hitting shape
I'm 45, but to me its just an age; its just a number. I'm in the best shape I've ever been. I'm hitting it the best I've ever hit it.
bet
I bet you she makes the cut, ... She'll make the cut. You know what, go for it.

On the back side I hit the ball phenomenal and gave myself a lot of chances. I didn't putt great, but I did what I needed to do.

She's never satisfied. She really believes she can do anything.

We ran into a buzz saw today. Laura played great. Paula and I played good, but we didn't make any putts.
age-and-aging great loves reminds sports
She reminds me a lot of me at that age. She's got the game. She loves the pressure. And she's a great kid. She's very well-mannered. She is our future.

She hates playing bad. She went through a time there when she really struggled with her putting and her confidence. But she never lost sight of what she was trying to do.
cool grew homecoming played women
When I grew up, if you played sports, you weren't in the cool group. Now it's cool for women to be athletes. You look at all the homecoming queens, and they play sports.
course enjoyed experience facilities field good great trying work
We've always got a good field here, and the course and the facilities are great. We've all enjoyed the experience here. I think it's great that they're trying to work it out to stay.
hard practice rounds stink
We all know we stink at it, and we don't know why. Sometimes, we try too hard for each other. But these practice rounds have helped.
cheer crowds feeling full hopefully loving
They're very energetic. You're loving the feeling out there. Hopefully, by Friday, we'll get the full crowds out there, and we'll hopefully give them something to cheer about.
bit boring worry
It's a little bit frustrating, but there's nothing I can do about it and I don't worry about it, ... I don't look for the spotlight. I'm a mom, you know? I'm pretty boring otherwise. It's just the way I am.
believe took
It was something I would have said. She's right: If we don't believe in ourselves, who's going to believe in us? If they took that personally, then they're going to have a long week.
