1 – Their price was right

When these folks on social media tell you how “special” North Berwick is, they don’t tell you the most special thing of all – their green fees were for the doughnut.

2 – You cannot be serious!

Grandstands surrounding a par-3 hole on a pure links is almost sacrilegious.

3 – Name game

If that’s the name of the course where they held the Scottish Open why isn’t it spelled Renaysanse. You know, like the Renaysance Period.

4 – Heck, go get yourself a wiffle

If Rory McIlroy can hop into the barber’s chair and request “a boy’s regular” at the threshold of the Open Championship, then all is right with the golf world.

GOLF COURSE PHOTO -- Have not had the pleasure to tee it up at Sinking Vale CC in Altoona, Penn., but here's a round of applause for a great sign that delivers a profound message. Thanks, too, to reader Brian Begley for spotting this on social media. As always, clever and intriguing golf course signs are always welcomed. Send to jim@powerfades.com.

5 – Silliest concept on earth

Has anyone ever really been influenced by one of these self-proclaimed influencers? Of course not. At the end of the day we are influenced by family members, friends, and our gut-feelings.

6 – It’s a new math

There was a time when I knew that 67 was better than 68. But now, things have changed. Sometimes 67 is better than 68 but 70 is better than both, if the guy shooting 70 led the field in Strokes Gained From the Left Rough While Wearing a Visor.

7 – Oscar worthy, methinks

Pretty much convinced John Daly will provide a brilliant performance in “Happy Gilmour 2.”

8 – Stop right now, it’s not that difficult

Honestly, more than a few tears are shed every time I see rakes left outside a bunker, hidden in rough, and on the high side, to boot.

9 – Glorious!

Quality twilight golf at the end of a warm summer’s day remains undefeated.
