...have to play all kinds of courses - many of them awful. I had to find different clubs, learn a lot of new shots. I had to learn to putt from off the green. I had to change my putter. I've always used one with a very light blade; it was fine for the fast greens I played on as an amateur. But as a pro, I had to be ready for any kind of green."
