1 – Dynamic Duo

If Patrick Reed and Prince Harry aren’t already fast friends, it should happen pronto. They’re Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper, no?

2 – Not such a big deal

Jon Rahm thinks he’s No. 1 in the world. Rory McIlroy is confirmed at No. 1. Scottie Scheffler still has a legitimate claim to No. 1, too. But, really, does it matter? I mean, there’s no home field advantage or bye week involved.

3 – Oh, how they remember

It’s difficult to say who had more joy to work Greg Norman’s name into the conversation about other golfers who coughed up a six-shot lead through 54-holes – Paul Azinger or Brandel Chamblee. Their voices were dipped in a mix of glee and venom.

4 –Now, that’s style

Is it too much to ask that someone figure out how to invent one of those electronic scoreboards that displays the numbers in calligraphy? Please. Love me some calligraphy.

5 – Numbers are coming after us

So, my friend asked, “what are you working on this winter?” Told him, “land angle.” Whether he was impressed or confounded, it worked. He stopped asking me.

6 – Support your local pro shop

Apparently Jon Rahm didn’t pack enough belts last week. Were the prices inside the pro shop also “elevated” so much that he couldn’t buy a belt, maybe one with the famed butterfly on it?

7 – Surfers rule

“The Eddie” is being contested today, the first time since 2016 that the waves have been massive enough for the coolest of the cool. So, yeah, the Sony Open is only the second-best sporting event on the island of Oahu this week.

8 – Iconic figure

In the middle of Sunday’s broadcast from Kapalua, an innocuous graphic showed impressive winning percentages for a list of renowned athletes. They were golfers, tennis players, and skiers. Hmmm. You can have them all. Give me the great Edwin Moses’ incomparable achievement – from the summer of 1977 to the summer of 1987 he went 122-0 in the 400-meter hurdles.

9 – OK, back to the golf

I remain totally, 100 percent perplexed. Daily pin sheet is delivered via Twitter. Dude, I am 5,100 miles away from Wai’alae CC, what in the name of Ky Laffoon am I supposed to with it?
