1 – It will not go down as his favorite

Oak Hill CC, site of this week’s PGA Championship, no doubt left impressions. Here’s one: In two PGA Championships, 2003 and 2013, Tiger Woods arrived as . . . well, Tiger Woods. He was ranked No. 1 and in each season he won five times. Yet in eight PGA rounds at Oak Hill, he never broke par. He was 16-over and made just 10 birdies over 144 holes.

2 – Food to ease a broken heart

And here’s a second Oak Hill memory: Having opened with a 66 to share the first-round lead, Phil Mickelson faded badly. With trips of 75-72-75 he wound up T-23, 12 behind Shaun Micheel. Bogeys on five of his last eight holes on a staggering hot day put Lefty in search of relief. More than an hour later, his entourage waited in the parking lot and Jay Haas came walking by. “I’m worried about your man,” he told them. “He just ate an entire tray of chocolate eclairs.”

3 – We need building ordinances

Could golf officials on both PGA Tour and LPGA fronts explain why so many grandstands are still being put up? Waste of money. Also throws off a bad look with so many empty seats.

4 – Stop making it easy

Oh, and not let’s even talk about how these grandstands provide massive backboards for players.

5 – “Be the ball”

There’s a part of me that genuinely worries about the quality of entertainment in the lives of people who are fascinated by the conversations between players and their caddies.

6 – Enough already with 59

Sixty-seven years after Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute mile, track writers don’t exhaust themselves writing about sub-4:00 miles. Nearly 46 years after Al Geiberger posted the first 59, golf writers knock themselves out posting “59 watches.” Goofy, as it has been done a few dozen times at the professional level. Even goofier when you consider that 58 is the yardstick.

7 – Forget the grip it, rip it mentality

If they could somehow take from another PGA Tour player, methinks having John Daly’s soft hands would be a popular selection by a lot of competitors.

8 – Hey, hit the robot

A robotic ball picker? Are you kidding me? Who would want to stand on the range and try to hit a robotic ball picker. This AI stuff has gone too far.

9 – What in tarnation . . .

Let’s have a week? Let's have a week? Guess it’s hip. But really, it’s stupid.
