You like to run rank golf, man? That sounds so peaceful. You think this is peaceful? You think having your eighth gel of a marathon at mile 23 and feel like you're gonna throw up all over the crowd is peaceful? You think of limping out a putt or chunking a ball after a great drive is peaceful? Nah, man. I'm addicted to pain, and I absolutely love it.
