Jordan Spieth explains why he believes golf is a team sport, and why he ... - Business Insider

Russo/USA Today SportsCaddy Michael Greller is a key member of Jordan Spieth's team.To hear other golfers talk about Jordan Spieth it is clear that in addition to being one of the best, he is also one of the most liked players on the PGA Tour, and that is at least in part driven by his humility and humble nature.

This week, Spieth is going for his third major championship of the year at the PGA Championship, and we got a glimpse of that humility when he explained why he often uses the pronoun "we" to refer to his golf game.

Spieth was asked why he uses the word "we," and his answer makes it clear that he doesn't look at golf as an individual sport:

“I don't know. I just, I figure I have, Michael [Greller, his caddy] with me on the course. He's the one that's a part of each decision that we make as far as preparing for what we do. I have Cameron [McCormick, his coach]. I have my trainer Damon [Goddard], sports chiro, manager. Everybody gets stuff ready for us to play our best golf. I'm the one hitting the shots and hitting the putts and getting the credit, I guess, but at the same time I believe that this is a â€" we're a brand. We're a company. We're, this is, we're competing together all for the same goal. And I try to align myself with the best at what they do in the world, because then that will free me up. I won't have to worry about any other parts of my life on and off the course, and it seems to be working. We got a great team, and no one's been scared of the next level, and that's why we are where we are right now. So I believe that on and off the course it's not just me.”

Even in his answer, Spieth uses the word "we" to explain why he uses the word "we."

In other words, to Spieth, golf is very much a team sport, just as much as any other team sport, even if he is the one getting all the credit.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
