I agree that the divot collection is unique.  Anyone think he would get bids on eBay for his collection?

I thought I was being weird when I collected a shot glass full of sand from the Road Hole Bunker at St. Andrews.

I took some divots from a few courses, put them in sandwich bags to keep them fresh.  Took them home and planted them in the front yard.  Pebble Beach, Bandon Dunes and Chambers Bay.  Pebble Beach was the most problematic.  Caddie didn't want me to do it (18th hole)... I just said, "Frank, look the other way."  For good luck I sometimes practice chipping off of them... though they've all blended together.

Also, a golf buddy volunteered to work the Ryder Cup when it was at Medinah in Illinois... he brought me a divot which is also now in that grouping.

I'm pretty sure some of them are MY divots! Not sure why he'd follow me around just to collect my divots - though I am a handsome dude!  :whistle:

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Where do you tend to miss it? When the green is below you, the ball is spending more time in the air, so to the extent that side spin is making it move one way or the other, it has more time to do that and therefore will be affected more. That's why it's so dang hard to hit a fairway that's a long way below you. When the ground gets in the way it stops the slice/hook spin from moving the ball away from the middle. If you play, let's say, a fade, then you want to aim further to the left to allow the fade to move the ball further. That also means if you play for a fade and don't hit a fade you're going to miss by more than you would if the green was at the same level.  I think the person who brought this up is trying to limit the impact of that by hitting it lower so the ball doesn't spend as much time in the air. If that's not how you normally hit it and you haven't practiced it, then it's likely going to be more detrimental than just figuring out how to deal with your normal shot.
