And, like, I remember riding home in the car with my mom and dad and my brother.

And my dad's kind of telling David, and he's 12 or 13 at this time, like, David, you keep practicing, man.

You're going to be something in this game, you know.

And I'm in the backseat.

And I've been out there a few times just kind of hitting balls.

And I'm like, you know, how's my swing look, you know, when you've looked at it?

And I can just – I'll never forget it, you know.

And he kind of turned around and says, not good, and just kept driving.

And that was it.

And I can remember my mom going, Stan, what, you want me to lie to him?

There's part of me that loves that because I knew that when he did tell me something, he meant it, you know.

But I can remember I did not pick up a golf club again until I was like, I remember it was my junior summer because I quit baseball.

And I was waiting on basketball season.

I was already getting some basketball offers.

So I already knew I was going to do that.

so i was like i'm gonna start playing golf and i've been out there like a couple days and he hadn't seen me doing it and he comes out there and he's just standing in front of me and he was an intimidating guy he was my frame but he was 6'1 he was just a big v and these big hands and just a bear of a man and and he's staring at me and he's really close to me but he's not saying anything and i'm just hitting and he kind of stops me and stops my club and says do you hear that

I'm like, what do you mean?

Do you hear the sound that's coming off of that club face?

I'm like, I mean, yeah.

He goes, well, that doesn't sound like anybody out here hitting balls.
