HI, I'M ROBERT ALLENBY FROM THE PGA TOUR. OBVIOUSLY, MEASURES ARE NUMBER ONE AND THEN, JUST WINNING TOURNAMENTS. IT’S ONE WEEK AT A TIME. YOU CAN NEVER GET TOO FAR AHEAD OF YOURSELF BECAUSE AS SOON AS YOU DO THAT, YOU WON’T PLAY WELL THAT WEEK THAT YOU’RE PLAYING. MY BALL STRIKING IS GOOD, MY PUTTING CAN BE BETTER. I KNOW THAT. I'M WORKING HARD ON MY SHORT GAME TO TRY AND MATCH IT UP WITH MY LONG GAME. WHEN IT DOES MATCH UP, I WILL GET THE VICTORIES THAT I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. I’VE BEEN VERY CONSISTENT. I THINK TIGER AND I CAN SHARE THE MOST CUTS MADE IN A ROW. YOU LOOK AT THOSE SORT OF THINGS BUT, ALL I DO IS GO OUT THERE AND PLAY AS GOOD AS I CAN POSSIBLY PLAY, EACH DAY AND EACH WEEK. I LOVE THE GAME AND I WANT TO DO WELL. MY PASSION IS JUST TO WIN. I’LL KEEP GOING AS HARD AS I CAN UNTIL I GET THAT VICTORY. WHEN I'M AT HOME FOR WEEKS OFF, I’LL TAKE MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY OFF, COMPLETELY. THREE DAYS COMPLETELY OFF. HANG OUT WITH MY FAMILY, DO A LITTLE BIT OF FISHING, MAYBE DIVING, SOMETIMES. TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK, I’LL HIT SOME BALLS. FRIDAY, I PLAY WITH BUDDIES. I’VE GOT A GROUP OF GUYS THAT ARE LIKE FAMILY TO MY WIFE, SANDY, AND MY TWO KIDS, MYSELF. WE CATCH UP FOR DINNER, MOST WEEKS, WHEN I'M HOME AND, I PLAY GOLF WITH THEM, EVERY WEEK THAT I'M HOME. I PUT MY 20 BUCKS IN THE KITTY FOR THE BIRDIES. THEY DIDN’T LIKE IT WHEN I SHOT 58 BIRDIES. I GET A LOT OF FUN OUT OF IT BECAUSE THEY LOVE IT WHEN I MAKE A FEW BIRDIES. I JUST HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH THEM BECAUSE IT’S NOT INTENSE, IT’S JUST A FUN TIME WITH THEM. THESE GUYS ARE IN THEIR 60’S. IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW OLD YOU ARE, THAT’S THE BEAUTY OF THIS GAME. WE ALL HAVE HANDICAPS. YOU CAN PLAY WITH ANYONE. OBVIOUSLY, MY GOLF IS MY ABSOLUTE LOVE, MY PASSION AND IT’S MY JOB. FISHING IS WHERE I GET AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD. MY MAIN PURPOSE FOR GOING FISHING IS TO TOTALLY RELAX. GET AWAY FROM 20, 30, 50,000 PEOPLE CROWDS AT TOURNAMENTS AND THE PRESSURE THAT GOLF CAN BRING TO YOU EVERY NOW AND AGAIN, IF YOU LET IT. WE STAY IN HOTELS EVERY WEEK OF THE YEAR WHEN WE’RE ON TOUR. THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO CHANGE IT UP AND CHANGE BEAT. WHO WOULDN’T WANT TO GO FISHING.
