Tip #1: Focus on the upcoming game and course
"I see it as helping my mental game for lifting. Whenever I have a game coming up the next day, I'm going to go play 18 holes, I lay there and focus and visualize the course and try to focus on what I'm going to do."

Tip #2: Use finesse and incorporate your other sport
"If you don't swing the club and move your body just right the ball is not going to go where you want. It's the same thing with weightlifting, if you don't move your body just right and try to muscle the weight up, it's not going to go. You have to use your technique and rely on your technique to move the weight just right. In golf, if I try to go out and muscle the golf ball around using my strength, it wouldn't work. It kind of helps my lifting in two aspects; mental and physical."

Tip #3: Don't overlook the details
"My short game is the best part of my game so far. Sometimes my drives aren't the best; but my short game is awesome; that's what saves me. " 

Tip #4: Don't become so frustrated that you give up
"The first time I played I was slicing the heck out of it; it was going to crazy, but I was like this is awesome, I think I could do well at this. I just saw it as a huge challenge. I'm very serious about playing golf. I do enjoy it and I don't get mad when I play bad. I do still enjoy it, but I do focus on it just like my lifting."

Tip #5: Know your limits
"Playing golf twists my back and I really can't play it when I'm training as heavy as I am right now. Unfortunately when my game starts coming around I have to quit and then start getting into lifting- which is what I do and what I'm all about- but it does suck when I don't get to play golf."
