1 – Their time had come

The guess is, had the PGA Tour gone to LIV back on January 1 with a list of 15 players and said, “Take these 15 guys, please,” then consider it mission accomplished. LIV took those 15 guys.

2 – Crazy, but true

If you’re going to miss, miss on the high side. You’ll feel better.

3 – Might as well

About the only thing left to complete this madcap pro golf season is a comeback by Anthony Kim.

4 – Maverick, I know

Hate to be a rebellious on this, but in my notebook they are still referred to as hazards and in match play holes are halved.

5 – Yeah, right

All putts are makeable. Or so I’m told.

6 – In other words, relax

Amateur golf has never been better and the pipeline of talented under-25 professional golfers is deeper than ever.

7 – Keep that shape

Please tell me you’re using shoe trees for your golf shoes.

8 – Let’s test their distance control

At some point, they need to stop giving the best players in the world backboards behind greens – especially those at the 18th holes. Put the grandstands further back.

9 – Try it

If you’ve never been the very last golfer off the course on a cool fall evening, then I offer my condolences. It touches the soul.
