Tommy [ Lee Jones] doesn't suffer fools easily. I think everybody knows that, but I have great respect for someone that's very direct and very honest. I don't have thin skin so I'm okay with that.

I experienced American golf courses when I was younger and played a lot of USGA and AJGA tournaments.

I really love connecting people, creating communities. As a kid, creation was something that I always loved.
