Scotty, um, you’ve talked a lot about the importance of staying in the present, which can be hard for a lot of people, but where does that importance for you, the focus on that come from? And is there anyone or anything throughout your life that has helped you be get better at staying in the present? Well, you know, my my college coach, uh, Coach Fields was kind of the first person that introduced that that concept to me. You know, I I was, um, when I first got to college, I was trying to date this girl, whose name was Meredith. And um you know I would come out to the course and if she you know shot me a text or gave me a phone call I’d pick it up and you know I was you know I was still trying to woo her at that point and um you know I’d get a little distracted when it came to practicing and you know coach sat me down one day and said hey listen when you’re at the golf course you need to be focused on what you’re doing at the golf course. He’s like, “When you’re in class, you need to be paying attention in class.”

  1. Scotty sounds like he was on the course suffering from a common malady of most young men: p***y on the brain. Glad his coach set him straight.

  2. Yep. I was on a massive uphill climb but my idiot ass said oh let’s promise to never leave someone who doesn’t give a shit about you. Especially not your career, relationships etc. should have listened to my favorite mentor.

  3. Talking to the dude you would have no
    idea he’s the best golfer in the planet or can buy pretty much anything he wants. What a good dude and he deserves everything he has done!
