1 – Do you have jurisdiction?

So, you arrive at the tee box and you deem that the markers are crooked. Do you touch them?

2 – Get the putter more involved

If you don’t spend time at your practice area putting from the collars of greens or from 5 to 20 feet off the green, it must be because you enjoy chunking chips or thinning them 30 feet past the cup.

3 – Spread the good word

Let’s face it, you have not done it and you need to. So how ‘bout telling your super or a member of his or her crew, plus the folks in the pro shop, that you appreciate all they are doing.

4 – Bunkers that are out of control

Golf balls that bury in the face of steep-faced bunkers are arguably one of the few sights on a golf course that sicken me.

5 – Lot of vowels, nice to putt on, too

As for poa annua, I don’t have much an opinion. Except that I’m quite pleased I know how to spell it.

6 – Could they bring back the commercial?

LIV Golf teeing it up at the Greenbrier? Cool. Should allow Phil Mickelson to get back to that favorite pastime of his – falconry.

7 – Think he’ll have something to say?

A sixth Player Director seat on the PGA Tour’s Policy Board is created. Shock of shocks, Tiger Woods immediately is appointed. I suspect his first duty will be to deliver a pink slip to Greg Norman.

8 – Stages could use an upgrade

PGA Tour playoff stops at TPC Southwind, Olympia Fields, and East Lake? Not exactly The Big Three, eh?

9 – Not on the same page

So the caddie says, "How about a three-quarter wedge." Thought for a moment, then told him, "You're assuming I know what a full wedge is, and I don't."

“Power Fades” will not be published next week. It will return Aug.16.
