The Lack Of Reps Mystery
/
When you come to think of it that is the secret of most of the great holes all over the world. They all have some kind of a twist. C.B. MACDONALD
Ron Green Jr. interviews Rees Jones and asks about recent player criticism of his work. (Thanks to reader Del for this.)
Your work has been criticized by Phil Mickelson and others. That comes with the territory of being a designer, but does it bother you?
RJ: It bothers me when it gets personal. I expect it as far as the game or the golf course because not every golf course suits every player. It's supposed to be the golf course against the golfer until the final round when it really becomes the golfers against one another.
I'm guessing we'll soon learn of Tiger Woods becoming part of the Frys family, but in the meantime I penned Golf World Monday's Big Read on Tiger's appearance, his game and how it was a great week for both parties despite the hot dog incident and not contending.
You don't have to be a Golf World subscriber to read all 950 or so words.
Thanks to reader Chris. While the story posting photos and video has fun with it, you can see the seriousness of what this could have been by the urgency of Joe LaCava's Atwal caddie Laddie Cline's reaction.
And nice work by security to get on him quickly though I'd like the knee to the back to have been a little nastier.
Now if we could just find out the name of this loser so that it comes up in Google searches for the rest of his life...
**And the video is down at 12:15 ET!
Tiger's making a nice front-nine move Sunday while Briny Baird tries to record his first win while holding off resurgent veterans Paul Casey and Ernie Els along with someone named Adam Hadwin. Should be fun! A special prize goes to the first person to post the most absurd example of Kelly Tilghman cheering Tiger on.
Alex Myers says "Lexi Thompson may be the LPGA's next big star, but the tour certainly wouldn't mind seeing Belen Mozo rise to prominence, either."
That's because she appears in the new ESPN The Magazine "Bodies" issue. I know you'll all be taking notes:
You know I'm a sucker for the little things that enhance the fan experience, so I have to note the poles embedded in the ground to allow the standard-bearers a break while placing the group scores so that the numbers are visible to fans. Credit tournament director Duke Butler for this nice touch.
