Jim McCabe's front 9 musings

1 – It’ll likely be net happiness

Never underestimate the value of a stress-free bogey.


2 – Silly numbers game

The Official World Golf Ranking are necessary for bookkeeping means but should be totally ignored by fans.


3 – And you know the recent history

This marks the 43rd time that the Americans had a decided edge in the Ryder Cup – on paper. Coincidentally, it’s the 43rd Ryder Cup.


4 – What does that tell you?

Good players make bogeys trying to make birdies; we make doubles trying to make pars.


5 – Ol’ Walter Hagen didn’t need ‘em

The Ryder Cup, like laundry, is better without pods.


6 – One is fine, two is plenty

The three-day member-guest was created by someone who had no life.


7 – Low side, my friend

Learning how to enter and exit a bunker should not be difficult.


8 – Lighten your load

When you can’t hit your wedges, why carry four?


9 – They are a must

You’ve got your winter golf gloves, correct?
