We love opponents who hit off their back foot. RT @LukeKerrDineen: Devers’ home run from below the strike zone last night gives it a real golfy look. Pretty fascinating all the similarities.

Really excellent obit. Dale was a regular guy and so helpful to the younger me. RT @AdamSchupak: #RIP Dale Douglass. “No one ever had a bad word to say about him.” That and more good stories from Hale Irwin here: golfweek.usatoday.com/2022/0…

Johnny Miller said, “He’s been winning almost every tournament in his age group, so there’s not much to say except for ‘nice going.'” @wesleyabc4 has more on World Golf Hall of Famer Johnny Miller as a caddie for his grandson, Nicklaus. Watch it here: tinyurl.com/5d6kecu2

Def for GD, he wrote monthly for us and I processed the column. GW was our sister pub, bet they ran it, too. @robrtgreen knows. MT @mikeclaytongolf: @jarodhitchcock Peter wrote a typically brilliant column after Jack’s accident. Not sure if it was for GD or Golf World in the UK.

Replying to @guy_yocom1 @jarodhitchcock
Peter wrote a typically brilliant column after Jack’s accident on “that right arm”. Not sure if it was for GD or Golf World in the UK. Definitely worth digging it up.

Peter Dobereiner referred to Jack Newton as a “larrikin and right tasty geezer.” He wrote, “For years Newton cut a wide swath through international golf until one day, an airplane propeller cut a wide swath through him.” Newton loved that.

A toast to the late Jack Newton. Amazing person. A night at restaurant with him was like a night with nobody else. I laughed for days and smile at the thought of him now. What a spirit he had.

Wow, memories came flooding back just at the sight of it. So cool you wandered down there. Couple of visits to Ogden and SLC are coming up and will be ringing your doorbell. RT @ToddBrenkman: Played your old stomping grounds today @guy_yocom1

In time the 75 yards will require a full swing. Be patient. RT @johnhuggan: @mikeclaytongolf @cdpgolf1 I can chip fine. Half-wedge from 75-yards? Not so much 😃

Jim Thorpe. Jack Newton. Mike Hill. They all would bend Camilo like a cocktail straw. RT @GolfDigest: Who'd we miss? 💪

World Golf Hall of Fame About to End in Its Present Form?

The Hall, located since 1998 in St. Augustine, Fla., has been a financial flop and PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan says, 'looking at all our options.'

In 27 years, I’ve never seen his voice break like that. Nor have I seen him make less effort to hide it. That was beautiful. RT @GolfChannel: When @TigerWoods’ emotions showed when he thanked them during his Hall of Fame speech.

Hale Irwin missed from one inch at the British Open in 1983 and lost by one. RT @GoToTheLoop: Jon Rahm may have just missed the shortest putt in the history of golf at any level. glfdig.st/zWNs50I9AB0

I heard “no” to requests a lot in my time, but not quite with the panache of Darren Clark. RT @ChampionsTour: Pitching fake player requests. Results varied. 😂

Good take. Hard to do that, though. RT @BNoyes113: @DanHicksNBC Buffalo never should've kicked into the end zone with:13 remaining.
