1 – We are always off target with this

The Olympic golf will take place outside of Paris, at Le Golf National, which has two courses. The one to be used for Olympians is The Albatros. But being hokey Americans we’ll probably call it the Double-Eagle.

2 – Pure golf

Should you peer toward the first tee and see a golfer take four golf balls in hand and toss them over his or her shoulder to determine teams for a match, then you know you’re at a club blanketed in nobility.

3 – Home folks are disgusted

The Majesticks finishing dead last, a whopping 25 shots out of first in a LIV tournament in London – with three Englishmen in the lineup (Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Sam Horsfield), no less – is an utter embarrassment.

4 – As a reminder

Bird houses should be part of every golf course.

5 – Just trying to get better

Minding my own business, just swinging my golf club in the garage, I was asked, “What are you doing?” My answer was quick and spot on. “I’m working on my traj,” I said. You better believe that left her speechless.

6 – I’m betting no one wins

The fiercest competitive event in Paris the next two weeks involves tourists. Going a week without getting pick-pocketed or scammed by a gypsy should certainly be recognized with a medal.

7 – So that’s what it’s used for

When my golf glove fell down into my bag, wisely I reached for the alignment stick to pull it back out. It was such an awesome feeling to finally figure out what that training tool was intended for.

8 – First things first

The shopping list has to be cut in half during summer months. With golf clubs, a push cart, a few dozen balls, a shag bag, rain clothes, a variety of hats, and four pair of golf shoes, there just isn’t enough room in my car trunk.

9 – If only I knew . . .

When finally the sweet spot is found, I like to hold the pose position just to whisper to myself, “I wonder what series of unplanned movements produced that?”
