1 – The blue-collar board is fine

If you’re bothered by a leaderboard of unheralded names, that’s your issue. Personally, it tickles my fancy to know a career-changing moment is possible. Beats too many of those Signature Events where a millionaire golfer ho-hums to an emotionless sixth-place finish while his private jet warms up.

2 – Short stuff hurt

I’m not saying Aldrich Potgieter might have won on the PGA Tour Sunday in Mexico if he had an E-Club in the bag, I’m screaming it.

3 – Can’t shake it

Our conversation in late September still stings. Asked what was bugging me, I responded, “I’m coming over the top too often.” To which she replied, “How does that compare to last week’s moaning and groaning about not bringing it down on the inside?” Like, really. All of a sudden she’s a swing guru?

4 – Let’s set the record straight

Do what you want, but in my golf dictionary, which happens to be totally correct, by the way, it is caddie, not caddy; bogey not bogie; halve or halved not tied (in match play); hazard not penalty area; and flagstick not pin.

5 – Biggest gaffe of all

And should you dare utter the phrase “double-eagle” you will be asked to wait out in the garage. It’s “albatross.”

6 – Stating the obvious

We need to be more demanding of our golf announcers. Please knock it off and stop calling a putt “makeable.” What’s next, saying a putt is “missable?”

7 – Craving

It’s been months since my last uncrustable. Man, golf has got to get back quick.

8 – Makes sense to me

My rationale for carrying four wedges. Increases my odds of hitting at least one of them well.

9 – Singing “Highwayman,” of course

Catch me at the right moment and ask, “Who would be in your dream foursome?” and the answer is likely to be, “Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash.”
