Well, maybe not the “next”, but definitely a potential future phenom. Jack has the best swing for the “under 3” division, as judged by Annika and another Jack (Nicklaus).

In the third iteration of “The Match” was played on Black Friday. There were a few good lines, the most memorable by Peyton Manning trashtalking Charles Barkley, on the range, and then later in the match when Barkley was trying to burn Manning, but Manning turned it around with a great line about Charles’ swing-thought.
Another great line was by Charles when he told the TNT group to cue up some Law & Order reruns because the match was going to be over early.
In case you don’t know, **SPOILER** Mickelson/Barkley beat Manning/Curry like a drum, winning easily.

The e-mail came back in September, but since it is Masters week, I guess I ought to post the bad new. Here is the e-mail:

It appears that the practice area collects the balls in the underground bucket???
According to Golf.com, that is pretty much what happens:
One Instagram user, however, who says he lives in Augusta, Ga., commented on the Instagram post and said: “The practice greens have pipes that run to each of them. They will push the balls in the cup and back in the tent someone will press a button and the balls return to the tent.” Seems like a likely explanation.
It is a Masters practice round tradition for the golfers to try to skip a shot across the pond and onto the green on the 16th. Jon Rahm’s attempt didn’t just get on the green, but ended up as a hole-in-one. It also happened to be his birthday. What a great birthday present.

Dan Smith, of birdiescrazygolf.com, sent me an e-mail asking if I would be interested in posting about and linking to his “The Ultimate Guide to Perfecting Your Golf Swing”. I figured, why not, so here is the link.
I looked around Dan’s site, and it’s pretty good. There are lots of posts about what are good golf balls, the best sets for different skill levels, and reviews of drivers, irons, wedges, putters, and accessories.
Check it out, you might find something good.
If you’re wondering what instigated Dan’s contacting me, he said he liked the “Swing The Handle, Not The Head” post.
Today is the day when you can apply to win tickets to the 2021 Masters Tournament.
You can apply at http://www.masters.com/en_US/index.html
Good luck to all.
This one goes out to my brother-in-law, and Jonathan Yarwood’s example of a chilli dip is pretty much exactly how he chips. And the best part about this lesson, it only takes 45 seconds.
