LARRY NELSON, ON STARTING OUT ON MINI-TOURS AFTER TAKING UP THE GAME LATE IN LIFEMAY 2008
I knew very little about the rules and proper etiquette. In one tournament, I hit my ball down in a hazard. I went in and started picking up rocks, sticks and stuff so I could hit the ball. One of the guys I was playing with stood there, stunned. I started to pick up a leaf and said, “Can I move this leaf?” He stared at me for a minute and said, “If you pick up that leaf, you’ll be lying 12.”
