1 – It comes at you quickly, eh?

Nothing like a PGA Tour playoff between two kids born in the 21st century, which only began 25 years ago, to make you feel old.

2 – An edge, definitely

Something tells me Jon Rahm likes playing the role of the heavy.

3 – Tiresome

Here’s a guess that Bryson DeChambeau is so infatuated with himself that he believes his letter of thanks to all those who supported his LIV Golf mission to “grow the game” will rank right up there with Martin Luther King’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail.”

4 – We know the answer

What grew more during his LIV career, “the game” or Bryson’s “wallet”?

GOLF COURSE SIGN – Here’s one we can all agree upon, this beauty from Valley CC in Sugarloaf, Penn., a Tillinghast gem. Motoring your golf cart through fescue is among the most egregious acts of negligence a golfer can make and thanks to reader James Deaton we know there are golf courses that are determined to stop it. Should you find a golf course sign that would look good in “Power Fades,” please forward it to jim@powerfades.com.

5 – Indoor sun in their eyes

These pro golfers wearing their hats indoors to hit golf balls into a screen . . . oh, how the allegiance to the logo is master of the universe.

6 – She has her lyrics, I have mine

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens may have tickled Maria von Trapp’s fancy as per the song sung by Julie Andrews in Sound of Music, but not me. Clean-shined white golf shoes. Calligraphy. The interlocking grip. A cherished pint of Guinness after my round. Those are a few of my favorite things.

7 – Choices, options, decisions

Looking at a 25-foot putt that surely had to go left-to-right, it suddenly occurred to me that I could be wrong, that it could be right-to-left. Of course, I’m more lousy at right-to-left putts than left-to-right putts, so I wondered if I shouldn't just play it straight. Why? Because I reminded myself that I hate straight putts; every time I try to hit a straight putt I push it right or pull it left. Then, another thought: Why not just roll the dice, hit it straight and let the force of nature take over. Mind you, this discussion in my mind all took place in the span of 15 seconds so it’s not like I was holding anyone up. Besides, I was out solo on a brisk November day and as I took the putter back I figured what the heck, go with my strength and the choice was the left-to-right path. Wrong. Turns out it was right-to-left, after all. But I am just glad I finally made my decision.

8 – She’s still got “it”

While it’s still tough to figure out what exactly is going on in this indoor golf stuff, this much is for sure: It got Michelle Wie back into the arena, sort of, and that’s a good thing.

9 – A day to remember

It’s Veterans Day, folks. A sacred day. No doubt you know someone who fits the bill and deserves a phone call and a heartfelt “thank you.”
