July 30: In this latest segment of Head to Head, we talk to colourful American Bryan Saltus and Brad Kennedy of Australia.

See how they pit against each other in a series of quick questions including how they warm up, what they fear the most on the golf course and their thoughts on various other challenges.

How do you warm up?

Saltus: I chip and putt first and then I’ll get sweaty at the range right before I tee off.

Kennedy: I usually take an hour, just go through my bag on the range. I’ll probably hit some lob wedges and then hit a nine iron, seven iron and a few longer irons. Then a few three woods and a couple of drivers. Then head for some chipping and putting.

What do you do after completing a round?

Saltus: It depends on how I play. If things were bad, I’ll go and practice with the clubs that cost me the most that day. But 90% of the time I don’t usually practice after golf.

Kennedy: Generally, I don’t like to practice after a round. A lot of practice for me is done by reflecting on what happened during the day.

It takes 45 minutes to get from the hotel to golf course. How do you kill the time in the bus?

Saltus: Listen to my music - Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, etc etc.

Kennedy: Normally sit and chat with a few other guys. I also listen to some music.

What's the worst thing that you fear when you are playing?

Saltus: Being disqualified.

Kennedy: Not so much of fear but you always want to limit your mistakes.

You've just shot a 63. What will you do after the round?

Saltus: Have a beer, time to celebrate.

Kennedy: I probably wouldn’t do anything different.

How about after a round of 80?

Saltus: Probably have another beer and try to forget about it.

Kennedy: Hopefully, all the clubs are still in the bag! Then I’ll reflect on what went on that day. If it was a morning round, I would probably head to the range for a bit.

You have two putts from 10 feet for par to win a title. Do you go for glory with a birdie?

Saltus: I’m a good lag putter and I normally don’t go for any putts. If it goes in, it goes in.

Kennedy: One guy told me that you always putt to make it, so I’ll probably be aiming to make that first putt.

Thoughts on a five-foot downhill putt?

Saltus: Pace. Pace dictates the line of the putt.

Kennedy: The most important thing for me is the line, working on exactly the line that I want to hit it on. Speed is never going to be a problem as it will always get to the hole.

After posting a triple bogey, what are your thoughts at the next tee?

Saltus: Birdie.

Kennedy: Obviously, you’ll be heated at the next tee but the biggest thing for me is to try and focus even harder on the next tee shot.

There's water on the right and OB on the left. How do you approach this tee shot to a par four 480 yard hole and being in position for a top-five finish?

Saltus: Hit it towards the OB and cut it because I like to cut it.

Kennedy: Depending on how I’m playing, the most important thing is to take the rubbish out of your head and focus on where you want the ball to end up and focus on the pre-shot routine.

Will you speak to your playing partners if you're in contention on the back nine on Sunday?

Saltus: Oh yeah, I just can’t shut up out there. I only hope that I don’t bother anyone while we are playign.

Kennedy: I normally like to chat. It’s a long time to be out on the golf course and it would be hard being by yourself.

If you are drawn to play with Tiger Woods, how do you think you'll react playing with him?

Saltus: I’ll probably be in awe most of the way but hopefully I can make him think this guy has got some talent.

Kennedy: I think I’ll react pretty well. I’ve played with some top players before. It lifts you to the next level knowing that it will be a good day. It’ll be a new experience and I’ll try to beat him.

You're playing in the Pro-am and one of your amateurs can't hit the ball. What do you do?

Saltus: Help him with whatever advice. I’m a one-tip wonder.

Kennedy: I’ll try to give him a few pointers to get him around and get him to enjoy the day. Try to get him to get the ball up in the air and enjoy the day. If not, tell him to pick up tennis or something else!
