1 – Ready, set, re-set

Whenever something goes awry, be it your laptop or coffee maker or vacuum, the first troubleshoot is to always shut it down and turn it back on. Usually works. Which prompts me to suggest you try the same thing with your golf game. Shut it down for a spell, then flip it back on. You’re welcome.

2 – Silly question

But of course, they won’t roll back any of those 7,455 yards will they?

3 – Fewer rankings, please

Apparently, anyone who knows the difference between Tiger Woods and Muir Woods feels the need to produce a weekly “world ranking.” Just another silly vehicle so that people think they’re showing other people how smart they are.

4 – The team needs help

Say this about the Majesticks: They look old, tired, and overmatched, yes, but they are tidy dressers.

5 – Count your blessings

March golf is a beautiful thing. Remember that.

6 – Ignore your frostbite

March MLB is a joke. Remember that, too.

7 – Think about it

Could Rory McIlroy pull a Mark O’Meara?

8 – Not the time for a big fade

One of my most endearing talents is turning a shortish dogleg left hole into a long par 4.

9 – Confounding

Crazy to think that with the pool of quality professional players deeper than ever, there seems to be a move to reduce playing opportunities. Explain, please.
