Stephen and Dell Curry


pr“When there’s a lot of


essure on a putt I treat it like a free throw. When I have an eight-footer for par that I really need to win a hole, it’s almost like shooting a free throw in


front of 18,000 people in the fourth quarter.

What’s your favorite golf course in Northern California? I played Pebble Beach last spring and that is my favorite so far. I had played it on Tiger Woods Xbox but had never seen it in person. •••


and just putt when he got on the green. While he was learning, I slowly picked up the rest of the game and have loved it ever since. I played competitively in high school for three years.


Any nerves on the fi rst tee? Yes. I snap-hooked one left over the fence. I had to take my breakfast ball, two off the fi rst tee. ••• You played in the pro-am at Quail Hol- low this year; did you take anything away from playing with the PGA Tour players? I played with Steve Lowery and we played one hole from the same tee box as the pros; I saw just how tough a course it is from their yardage and the


rough being so high. Their room for error is pretty slim; it gave me a perspective on how tough it is to win on the PGA Tour. That was defi nitely a learning experience for me, playing in Charlotte in front of a gallery for the fi rst time. •••


What’s the best golf tip you’ve received? Steve (Lowery) told me every shot he takes he has the same routine, the same amount of practice swings and takes the same amount of time going over the shot with his caddie. Sometimes he has to think about it a little more, but for the most part he tries to stay as consistent as possible with the approach to each shot and just be confi dent and always have positive thoughts. I know that is tough to do sometimes when there’s a lot of trouble out there.
