After his win at the Ft. Worth Championship, Justin 2OSE WAS IN THE ÚELD FOR the Memorial last month at -UIRÚELD 6ILLAGE $URING HIS Wednesday press conference, he was asked, what kept him striving to win and compete? His answer gives an insight into the variables and inconsistencies that drives everyone to play the game of golf at all levels, “The club travels 27 feet from START TO ÚNISH )F THE CLUB FACE is one degree open at impact that makes a huge difference in a 300-yard drive. The margins are small, plus there are so many reasons, the game is different every day. Your swing can be different depending on how your body feels, the wind is different today than the day before. The pins are in different positions every day. If you had a low round yesterday, you are facing an entirely different golf course today. Thus, one SWING THOUGHT WILL NOT SUFÚCE from day to day. The game is constantly evolving, and every individual golfer must challenge themselves to adapt to the current conditions. There are just so many variables that can affect play.” Rose went to say that he personally enjoys the constant change and testing himself to perform his best. He puts the work in on the range, as well as, on the short-game area, plus the putting green to assure he can meet the challenges the next round will present.
