/Okay, in doses and through the lens of Ron Garl, but still...
Randall Mell at GolfChannel.com reports that 49 of the top 50 LPGAers are set for the new season-opening, 120-player Coates Golf Championship in two weeks at Golden Ocala, which I'd forgotten is a theme course. And unless you count Augusta National with its Old Course inspired holes as a theme venue, this may be the first true tribute course to host a major tour.
Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club is a course designed by Ron Garl that features eight “tribute” holes, replica holes modeled after iconic holes at Augusta National, St. Andrews, Royal Troon, Baltusrol and Muirfield. The replicas include Augusta National’s 12th, 13th and 16th holes, Royal Troon’s postage stamp hole and the Road Hole at St. Andrews.
“I can’t wait for fans to see the Tribute holes,” Lincicome said. “They really look like famous holes all around the world.”

Read MorePatrick Reed's Song Of Choice, In Case You Were Wondering
/For the six of us still watching the Hyundai Tournament of Champions sudden death playoff as the College Football Playoff's Championship game was playing, you probably saw eventual winner Patrick Reed put on his headphones prior to the playoff. The move also might have gotten more notice if not for his egregious hat tan line.
Apparently Reed is a big fan of one song by the Imagine Dragons, Radioactive, reports D.J. Piehowski. And he's not alone, it's been viewed 278 million times on YouTube. But it's his song of motivational choice...
“Radioactive (by Imagine Dragons),” he said. “That’s what I listen to before every round and that’s what I listened to before the playoff.”
