“I bring my clubs with me on the road now, and we went to a range behind a course one day. I was just gonna hit some balls, and Peter Kostis just happened to be there working on his own game. And in true Kostis fashion, he looked at my swing and said, ‘We have a lot of work to do.’ And he proceeded to give me the most gruelling hour lesson I’ve ever had. I was drenched in sweat, and now I have a million things to work on, but it was so much fun.”
