1 – If only he had asked me

It took Bryson DeChambeau a year to discover that 6,000 calories of protein a day wasn’t very good for him and his diet had to change. When I saw his diet didn’t include donuts, pizza, Guinness and pistachio nuts – four essential foods – I could have told him in like 30 seconds that it needed to change.

2 – No love lost

Something tells me Tiger Woods dislikes Greg Norman more than Greg Norman dislikes the PGA Tour – which is saying a lot.

5 – Can’t slow him down

Mark Calcavecchia with knee replacement surgery, at 62. The guess is he’d still be able to play 18 in 2 hours 8 minutes.

RAHMBO and JT have joined RORS and TW for the ’24 season of TGL developed by TMRW. Says it all.

7 – Wise guys are on fire

8 – Random thought

We need more capers and garlic in our days – and way fewer power rankings on sports websites.

9 – It’s all about the wind

There might not be a lot of issues we can all agree on, but here’s one: 39 degrees and no wind is playable but 47 degrees with 15 m.p.h. wind is unplayable.
