Having worked in the service industry I am a pretty good tipper. Not extravagant, but I do take care of people that deserve it. I only tipped in a golf store once. The guy was helping me with a driving iron and I went in with a preconceived idea with a game improvement 2 driving iron. Well, the guy sized me up and we ended up going with the player's model 3 iron which I was just hitting ropes with and almost as long as the 2 irons. I went to check out and asked he person if the guys worked on commission and the answer was no. So I went back and handed the guy a ten and said I am buying you a drink and left. The guy did his job, went out of his way, and provided a superior customer service experience.

So, did you ever buy him a drink?  And meet again?

Lol, i have no idea what he did with the money.

Now I get my regular clubfitter a bottle of Vodka every few months. I send him so much business he rarely charges me full price for anything so I drop off a bottle as a thank you.

      I agree; that would be great.  The record is 20 under;  if we only include Masters Tournaments contested in April, then the record is 18 under.  Seeing Rory beat 20 under would be fantastic.

      Now I am hoping Rory breaks the all time scoring record, especially with how difficult the course is playing right now.

      A few thoughts on the past few minutes. I agree that fairways are overrated, but Rory might want to reconsider that view in the short term. For the second time today, Bryson is hitting two shots in a row from the same greenside bunker.   Xander had a similar issue on 12 earlier today, although I think that only happened to him once today.  My mother and I are sitting in my living room commiserating.    Poor Patrick Reed, only bogey of the day on #18.  Shane Lowry had a clean scorecard with 15 pars and 3 birdies.

      Three great shots from McIlroy's group (Smith and the US Am Champ) on 12.  The amateur won closest to the pin, although I doubt the group had a bet going.

      I thought complaining about Fleetwood's appearance was my schtick   For real though, I agree with you, and when I see that, especially in a major, I'm confused.  When I play in a multi-day event at my club, I plan my clothing in advance because I want to look my best.   If no one else, their clothing sponsors should do this for them.  I think Nike used to do this with their stable -- I used to look forward to seeing their posts on the Facebook before majors to see how Tiger and Anthony Kim and friends would be dressed. Meanwhile, Jason Day is dressed fairly blandly today.  Who saw that coming?
