All of our courses have mats and nets for warming up. I hit 15 shots or so until it feels "right". That's about it. All of our ranges have mat days and grass days, and I avoid mat days like the plague.

I played a course in Chichibu, Japan about 30 years ago that had a live broadcast of the players coming in on #18. They followed you from your drive to when you finished the hole. The announcer would give info about every player between shots, and the caddies used hand signals to let the announcer know what club was being played. I didn't know anything about it until we got cleaned up and went to the clubhouse for dinner and watched as other golfers were completing their rounds.

Golf in Japan is an all day surreal experience, and this just added to the list of things they do that nobody else would do.

Lots of marketing BS in this honey story. Tupelo is the Chickasaw word for maple tree. So, Tupelo Honey was not honey. It was maple syrup. The honey sellers in FL and GA created this story about the great taste and benefits of honey made from Tupelo tree flowers that only bloom 2 weeks per year.

Seriously? Do you send your bees out with instuctions to only visit Tupelo maple flowers? Basically everything is blooming at the same time, so the bees are gathering everything available and turning it into honey.

I give the honey makers credit for taking a well known name and turning it into a product and sellable story, but at the end of the day, it is just another local honey.

Someone get me a psychiatrist here ASAP.

First, the Lakers moved from Minnesota to Los Angeles, where there are no lakes.

Then the Oilers moved from Houston to Tennessee, where is no oil.

Then the Jazz moved from New Orleans to Utah, where they don’t allow music.

Back when Utah and LA met regularly in the Western finals, it was always said that the 2 teams should swap names.

When Scheffler was 9 back, I went back to something Jack said about being in that position. "I don't see myself as 9 back. I see myself as 5 back. I need to play myself into 2nd place because the guy that is leading is probably coming back to us." Jack won many majors after people collapsed when he was chasing. Scheffler did the first part. Clark just needs to keep from folding.

Vanna used to be a trade show girl back in the day. If you were at a trade show in Vegas, Anaheim, or San Diego, she was somewhere on the floor, and everyone knew where she was.

The Old Greenbrier Restaurant in rural Limestone County outside of Madison, AL.

Huey Lewis made sure Huntsville, AL was on every tour schedule just so he could eat at Greenbrier's. He was obsessed with the chicken and white sauce.

I would have Dizzy Dean from Arkansas, but I am not very familiar with the talent the state has produced.

Congrats to UGA. Helluva team. We gave it all we had, and it wasn't good enough.
