Timeout with ... Adam Garrett

Age: 24

Resides: Cape Girardeau

Sport: Golf

High school: Sikeston

Occupation: Premier Therapy

Worst thing that happened to you during a round: Oh God, when you get the shanks for two weeks. And you don't know what to do and you want to quit the game

How long have you played: Five years

Three athletes, dead or alive, you'd like to have over for dinner: I'd have to say Tiger Woods, just because it's Tiger, Alex Rodriguez because he's the highest paid baseball player and Sergio Garcia because he's my favorite golfer

One athlete you'd like to trade places with: Tiger because he's the best at his game

A sport you've never tried, but would like to try: Skiing. I've never skied. Is that a sport? That's not a sport

Most embarrasing moment on the course: Probably when I had the shanks

When did you start playing: I played baseball throughout high school. I played baseball in college and I just played every once in awhile. I should have played more

Is golf your favorite sport: Yes, because it just is. To me, it's challenging, but it makes you think. It's all up to you. It's not up to a team. It's all individual

Favorite golf major: The Masters. I went to the PGA Championships last year. That was awesome
