With your busy traveling schedule, when do you find time to spend with your daughters, Elle and Lili? What is your favorite "family time" or "Dad time"?
One of the biggest challenges that I face in being a professional golfer is being away from my family. My family is my number one priority and being there for birthdays, concerts and the kids soccer is very important to both
Bricia and me. Our favorite family time is just hanging out at home, going swimming and taking the kids to the park and dinosaur museum.
How often do your kids come watch you play?
I never spend more than two weeks in a row away from Bricia and our girls.
If for some reason I can't make it home, they will fly to see me on the road. I love having everyone together but their schooling is very important so sometimes they will fly in on the weekends and watch me play.
Do your kids enjoy golf? Have you given them any lessons?
Both of my daughters are starting to hit balls and will come to the range with me on occasion.
You're one of (if not the best) left-hander in golf -- and you make it all look so easy! Any challenges being a lefty growing up?
To many kids, Mike Weir has the best job in the world! Now, we’re bringing this famous golfer to them. To start, he’s asking your kids questions, for example, "How do you stay fit?" and "Who do you most respect and why?"

Probably the only challenge when I was a kid growing up was getting left handed equipment. That has changed a lot over the past 10 years, as manufacturers are making left handed equipment for all levels of players.
 
What are your favorite family vacation destinations? What family activities do you enjoy on vacation? Does there need to be a golf course nearby?
We love taking the girls to Disney World in California or Florida. We also enjoy our family time at Taboo in the Muskokas. Taboo is an amazing facility that caters to kids with nature walks, water sports and kids camps where they interact with other kids their age. The golf course and practice facility at Taboo is world class and I recommend it as a must play on everyone’s list!
