[Borzopayn]

I came from the sport of competitive paintball. The consensus amongst the higher ranked players was that they needed to win by any means possible. This meant that there was a lot of cheating taking place. As a participant, I had to do this as well to stay competitive.

What I love about golf is it is a game of great integrity. Call your own penalties, don't fudge the numbers. I think of myself as a person of great integrity and love that my new passion stresses honesty and fair play.

I do think that your life reflects they way you play. I found myself wanting to cheat at many types of games when I was playing paintball and I would have to watch myself so I would play fairly when I was playing board games with the family or frisbee on the intermural field. Now that cheating is not part of the game plan anymore, I am re-finding the excitement of winning anything while playing inside the bounds of the rules. I wish I would have got into golf instead of paintball all those years ago.
