00:00I said that play towards their personalities and and I wondered kind of where you got it and after hearing
00:06about this shinty game and just like how competitively tough you have to be to to go 90 minutes and
00:14play that game and I'm sure deal with a lot of different personalities and I'm sure a lot of talking
00:18throughout that game like that that seems to be you know the personality you kind of carry to the golf
00:24course is that safe to say I would say so I mean I know I run hot and I know
00:30well so do I like I was the same way like I run it's so hard to control your emotions
00:35I just think like all the way of my life growing up like I had a great childhood and my
00:41mom and dad sacrificed everything for me or gave me a lot of opportunities and but I had to fight
00:47for everything I had like not so not physically fight for it but like if I wanted something I had
00:53to go and graft for it I had to
00:58I wasn't given much easily and I'm playing shinty playing football like I played every sport I could and yeah
01:09I'm probably one of them guys that I wouldn't give up and like if there was a tussle going on
01:17in the game I'm probably right in the middle of it kind of thing
01:21but I do think that it's funny because they always obviously you get fines and you get this that and
01:27the next thing social media people are like he's got to stop swearing he's got to like see if you'd
01:32microphone see if I was mic'd up while having a conversation with my caddy mic about the shot I'm about
01:39to hit I'm probably going to swear in that conversation like it's just I'm Scottish I'm
01:46it's just who you are like it's just you play towards your personality which like the best coach I ever
01:52had said like be who you are and just do your best to try to manage you know the times
01:57where you get running too high and it's sometimes it's like easier said than done like I was I was
02:02a buffoon at times on tour man I got I was I got really frustrated very quickly especially just with
02:09expectations and just I'm just a competitor man like I played basketball growing up so
02:14you know just like you know just like you on the on the shinty pitch is that what we call
02:18it yeah yeah yeah like I just I just love to win and I think when golf beats you up
02:23every single week and I want to get you know kind of get this conversation going into what it's like
02:29being a professional golfer like this week you're staying in another Airbnb and it's and it's just you know the
02:35grind of every single day from week to week to week and I know you're going back and forth now
02:41between
02:41uh your home in Scotland and in the States and uh and I I want to ask you just you
02:47know your time living in Florida and all the how difficult it is to be a PGA Tour pro at
02:52times you know where are you the most happy uh in in this game of golf is it being at
02:57home is it having success on the PGA Tour what do you how do you define happiness um
03:03um obviously playing good golf is a massive part of my life like it's my job it's it was my
03:13hobby and it became my job and golf's a massive part but
03:19I just love being at home um your home body is it is it are you a mom's boy or
03:24just like you just like being at home
03:26nah me and I mean we've we've just had a little one so like it's just congrats there's nothing better
03:32than
03:33being at home with people that care about you people that don't expect anything from you that don't
03:43just treat me as Bob from from open the small town and um you come out here and it's it's
03:50a circus
03:50this this it's a traveling circus this every week um but I mean I love it as much as it
03:59was difficult
03:59when I was in Orlando and I think it was more the difficult thing wasn't about living in Orlando it
04:05was more the fact that I'm not seeing the people that care about me the most or that I care
04:11about the
04:11most enough um so it was I think we realized pretty quickly that this probably isn't gonna work this
04:21probably isn't or right now this isn't the place that we're needing to be um and and then I went
04:28home
04:29I mean we just I rented a house for I think it was eight months and then after about four
04:34we just
04:36kept DC running and just paid the bills and and got out of there it was yeah it just wasn't
04:43it just
04:43wasn't wasn't right but I'm never saying I'm never going to come back and and live in the states with
04:49the family and just making life easier on travel and stuff and I think when we had nothing at that
04:55point we had nothing outside of golf in the US in the states in Orlando we'd no didn't really have
05:02any
05:02friends in Orlando it was just a place that I felt like it was going to be easier to travel
05:06back and
05:07forward to to the UK back and forward to events like it was a good hub um kept my membership
05:15on
05:15at Isleworth just for training camps and stuff but it's just like it just it just wasn't at the time
05:22It just wasn't the right fit
