Minnesota)! |
| If golf were like other team sports and there was a pre-game speech or a halftime speech, what coach (living or dead) would you choose to deliver that pep talk? Why? |
| Coach John Fields from the University of Texas, because I know him so well and he would be sincere. |

| I would not go backwards on the golf ball, but nor would I allow any more advancements. |
