PGA Tour forced to accept unique netting to counteract distance in WGC Match Play championship
Marking itself as the first tournament body to take a stance against the onslaught of technology and fitness, the World Golf Championships instituted netting on various holes, to counteract distance gains of the last quarter century. See Kevin Kistner futilely attempt to surmount the netting below. Future measures have been discussed for upcoming WGC championships.
3 UP.

European Tour’s Hero Indian Open soldiers on despite Flintstone-Rubble strike
The Hero Indian Open was dealt a severe blow when F. Flintstone and B. Rubble silently walked away from the declivity they had quarried for years, leaving boulders galore between fairway and green. Mr. Slate was unavailable for comment. A glance through rounded windows showed manic gestures of irate neighbors and spouses, W. Flintstone and B. Rubble.
A massive moment for the Scot ????????????????????????????

LPGA offers clandestine footage of Sun Hyun Park’s secret training regimen at Kia Classic
Long known for having the strongest finger muscles in the game, the LPGA Twitter squad went undercover to find out what separates the Korean superstar from the also-rans. The results were alarming. Labeled NSFW and encourage to be kept from the innocent eyes of young golfers everywhere.
Sung Hyun Park gets back-to-back birdies on 16 and 17 to get back in the mix at 12-under @LPGAKiaClassic.

Web.Com Tour debuts Biathlon format at Savannah Championship
The Web.Com tour, sick and tired of being known as the minor leagues, inaugurated a new tournament format in sunny Savannah this week. Golfers were able to combine score and physical attractiveness, in an obvious poach from reality television. Some fare well, others, not so much. Still others simply got dirty.
Wow. Just wow.@OSUCowboyGolf alum @Kev_Dougherty holed out for eagle on the par-4 fifth hole Sunday @WebTourSavannah @LandingsClub …

PGA Tour Champions witness to Andrade’s Montesano recollection at Rapiscan Classic
Years after working with famed author and scholar Ronald Montesano on a Sociology project at Wake Forest University, Billy Andrade’s less-than-A-Level work was revealed at the Rapiscan classic. Unable to contain himself, recognizing Montesano’s superior intellect and scholarship, Andrade tossed a putter into the air and gave himself a hug. He was heard to mutter “I love me, I respect me, I am a good person, I deserve to win.”
Agony for Andrade.
Needed this putt to get into a playoff at @RapiscanClassic.
