Going To The Gym Is Great For

I Think There Came A Time - Probably When I Was About 13 - When I Started To Struggle With An Increasing Volume Of Schoolwork And The Demands From My Golfing Schedule And Aspirations. I'm Not Sure If The Decision To Leave School Was Very Clear In My Mind Then But I Did Know That In The Juggling Between The Two, My Energies Were Most Definitely In The Golfing Direction.

I Was More Worried About What Other People Would Think Rather Than, You Know, Me. But You Have Got To Do What Is Right For Yourself And What You Feel Comfortable With.

I Used To Not Really Like Going To The Gym When I Was Playing Tournaments Because I'd Be Sore And Stiff. But The More You Keep Doing It, The Less Soreness You Have. And You Actually Start To Enjoy It.

I'm Afraid There Are No Replays Or Second Chances In Amateur Or Professional Golf, And That's The Way It Should Be.

The Fact Is, I've Always Felt More British Than Irish. Maybe It Was The Way I Was Brought Up, I Don't Know, But I Have Always Felt More Of A Connection With The U.k. Than With Ireland.
