I've always believed that you're only as old as you feel, and I have been a proponent of keeping my body feeling as healthy as I possibly can. Staying in good physical condition is very important to me. It helps me relax, unwind and purge negative emotions...

The golf swing is a complex, explosive and physically stressful action, and you must prepare your body to both produce and withstand the forces required. I have five or six different routines that include gym work, lifting weights and various cardiovascular exercises. One favorite activity of mine is taking long bike rides in which I cover as much as forty miles in a session. It's a great stress reliever as well as terrific exercise.

It's a lesson Greg Norman picked up from a fictional character, but it's become his credo in real life.

As a teenager, Norman went body surfing off Brisbane in his native Australia. It was just after a storm, so the water was turbulent -- in Norman's mind, a good thing. Suddenly, he found himself stuck in a riptide that sucked him down and tumbled him like a wet rag in a washing machine.Norman concedes that knowing limits was a lesson that stuck with him.

Greg Norman scored a hat-trick with Jumeirah Golf Estates today, when he was named a co-designer of the Wind course, which will join his Fire and Earth course designs at Dubai's premier golf residential community.

In a unique collaboration, Norman will design the course with El Nino - Sergio Garcia - and Pete Dye, regarded as one of the most influential course designers in golfing history.
