andemsp;andemsp;It goes up, it goes down.
andemsp;andemsp;I try to get it to where it needs to
andemsp;andemsp;Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
andemsp;andemsp;I practice, I play.
(5)andensp;On my own, with the school team
andemsp;andemsp;With my dad, anyone who is willing.
andemsp;andemsp;My goal is to make it big.
andemsp;andemsp;To play with the big names.
andemsp;andemsp;The big name golfers.
(10)Each time I play I imagine I'm there.
andemsp;andemsp;Maybe Pebble Beach or Augusta.
andemsp;andemsp;Wherever the golf tour goes.
andemsp;andemsp;I watch every golf tournament.
andemsp;andemsp;Anytime there's one on television, I watch it.
(15)Or record it. And watch it later when I can.
andemsp;andemsp;I watch how the pros do it.
andemsp;andemsp;How they stand, swing, putt.
andemsp;andemsp;Even how they walk. Everything.
andemsp;andemsp;I watch how they hold their bodies after they swing.
(20)How they squat to look from the ball to the hole.
andemsp;andemsp;How they rock back and forth right before hitting the ball.
andemsp;andemsp;I take it all in.
andemsp;andemsp;Remember every little thing I saw
andemsp;andemsp;And try to do the same when I play.
(25)Each time I play or practice, I'm a pro.
andemsp;andemsp;In my mind.
andemsp;andemsp;The ball I hit is on one of the most famous greens of all.
andemsp;andemsp;For now I practice.
andemsp;andemsp;As often as I can, with whomever I can.
(30)I can't get better if I don't practice.
