My dad taught me to be a leader or a follower, and he said follower ain't fun. So I want to be the leader of Bubba Watson.
People started coining the phrase, 'Bubba Golf,' whatever you want to call it, which I like. 'Bubba Golf' is going to be fun. I mean, why do what everybody else does? That's boring.
I have to chose my words carefully.
I'd love to be part of the process of building cars.
My dad was a hard worker, very dedicated to his family - very smart. Didn't like to be told what to do. Kind of where I get my stuff from. One of the things that I've learned from my dad is - good or bad - is not to trust.

My dad - who was a tough guy, a Green Beret - always looked nice and wore these bright Sansabelt pants. He always said, "You have two options: You can be a follower or you can be a leader. And you don't ever want to follow anybody. " And that's kind of become my philosophy about everything.
I was shooting in the low 70s and 60s by the time I was twelve. That's the great thing about golf. It doesn't matter how old or young you are; if you're 90 and can shoot a good score, people will want to play with you.
What I say goes. I'm hitting shots that I want to hit. I'm doing the things that I want to do. I play it my way.
Kids below 10 or 12, I think they just need to learn by playing at golf. Later on, in high school, when they develop muscles and everything, that's when they need to see about getting lessons.
I don't care about a golfer. I don't care about getting better as a golfer. I want to be better as a person.

Instead of playing with army men or whatever, I played golf, like for hours every day.
My manager always preaches golf comes first.
Who listens to golfers? They're boring. If I want to wear camouflage on the golf course during a tournament, I will. And I have.
There is a lot of learning I have to do and a lot of growing up I have to do.
My favorite thing about being linked to Oakley is getting to hang with the cool people, the cool athletes - like the X-Games guys. Those guys play sports where they can really hurt themselves, and, well, I just play golf. I'm like the wimpy guy over here.
