1 – It’s a commentary issue

Are burner phones permitted on the LIV? Asking for an anonymous player.

2 – So tough to watch

From the Failure To Finish Off Dept.: Going forward, in Sahith Theegala, I have faith; in Lexi Thompson, I’m not so sure.

3 – Pet Peeve I

Basically, there are tee boxes on some par 3s that should have this sign: Tee box closed today while we excavate and remove dozens of broken tees.

4 – Follow up to Pet Peeve I

Man, it’s not hard, folks. Put a tee in the ground before you start, take it out when you finish.

5 – Different, but it works

If the game at the highest level is about chipping and putting and some high-quality players chip and putt with left hand low, why do you not consider that as at least as part of your practice routine?

6 – Get it straight

Notice, it is left hand low. It is not cross-handed.

7 – Speaking from experience

The chipping yips are more devastating than the putting yips.

8 – Donald Ross would agree

Gentle dogleg. Just saying those two words brings a smile to my face and a peace to my heart.

9 – My philosophy and I’m sticking with it

When in doubt, play the left edge.
