1 – What’s wrong with this picture?

When you have a very walkable golf course and four young and healthy teenagers are spotted riding in a cart, do you: A) chastise parents for allowing it; B) scream at the pro shop for okaying it; or C) sneak over and flatten some tires?

2 – Sort of shutting the door

No-cut tournaments have no soul.

3 – Pretty clear-cut answer

Asked how far the nearest coffee shop was to the hotel, I responded with a pretty definitive answer: “About a driver, 6-iron if it’s downwind, more like a driver, 4-wood if it’s into.” Man, the stare that was tossed my way.

4 – No birdies, just tweets

Phil Mickelson’s Twitter game beats his golf game 6 and 5 these days.

5 – We should follow you?

It’s that time of year again – scramble time. I always enjoy the playing partner who suggests he or she go first to “show us the line.” Hmmm. You haven’t been within a foot of the line all day and suddenly you’re going to find it?

6 – Star power illuminated

Rose Zhang has my attention. Ditto Ludvig Aberg.

7 – But college field was volatile

That being said, the NCAA golf championships were not gentle on the elite teams and star players this year.

8 – We’re going way too far here

Stop trying to sell me this silliness about the need to have a chemistry between player and caddie. Just stop.

9 – Put that in your data bank

Would you rather lead the Strokes Gained: Approach the Green or be top name on the money list?
