    I play golf while I'm "working"

Transcript

Anytime I play golf during the week, I'm on the clock. I might not be a professional, but somebody's paying me to play, and it's my boss. I'll take as many calls as I have to out tier, whatever it takes to get eighteen in. But most of the time when I'm playing, I'm on the clock, so you didn't see me out there.
