"I'm very impatient. I am. That's the bane of my game. I don't think about what I'm going to do - I just go hit it, I don't stop to wait and think. Costs me two shots a round"
About this Quote
The line lands because it’s anti-mythmaking. Sports culture loves the serene assassin, the Zen competitor who slows the game down. Hull offers the messier truth: instinct is a superpower until it isn’t. "I don't think... I just go hit it" is almost a mission statement for a certain kind of star, the kind who lives off rhythm and aggression. It’s also a quiet admission that confidence can be indistinguishable from impulse. The subtext is accountability without melodrama: he knows exactly where the leak is in his performance, and he names it in the language of the scorecard, not the therapist's couch.
"Costs me two shots a round" is the kicker: a tidy, quantifiable penalty that makes the flaw feel real, not poetic. He’s measuring personality in strokes, turning temperament into stats. In context, it’s a window into elite competition’s constant trade-off between flow and control. Hull is basically saying: my gift is speed of decision; my tax is the moments when speed becomes haste. The honesty is the brand, and the brand is credibility.
