By Ben Alberstadt
November 5, 2019 Good Tuesday morning, golf fans.
**Just a reminder we’re looking for advertisers for 2020. Drop me a line if you’d like to talk about getting your message in front of the M9 readership.**

1. Checking in with Christina Kim
Golf Digest’s Brian Wacker spoke with the infraction-reporter…“Kim, who did secure her card, says she feels horrible about that but remains resolute in her decision to report the violation.”
2. “Thousands of times”
An interesting sidebar to this particular episode of rules intrigue: Kendall Dye’s suggestion, in the midst of a larger admission of guilt and apology, that her infraction is an exceedingly common occurrence.
3. Snubbing the shark?
Our Gianni Magliocco…”Greg Norman has revealed how he heard nothing back from Tiger Woods after reaching out to the 15-time major champion following his 2019 Masters win which has left the Australian pondering whether Woods dislikes the Australian.”
4. What’s ailing Phil? Commitment to the target, apparently
Golf Channel’s Will Gray...”Mickelson reached 17th in the rankings following his win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February, but he’s been in the midst of a pronounced slide ever since. He hasn’t cracked the top 25 since the Masters and told reporters this week in China that at age 49 his issues were as much mental as physical.”

5. Poulter and Westwood won’t be voting Labour!
David Wilcock for the Daily Mail…”Top golf stars have torn into Jeremy Corbyn’s tax plans after he blasted the super-rich.”
6. Gary Player
Interesting remarks from Mr. Player, via Sport24…”At a press conference on Saturday morning, Player pointed out that previous sports minister Tokozile Xasa had not shown any interest in golf.”
7. The nice guy roundtable
The gents at PGATour.com discussed Golf Digest’s “Nice Guy” list…
8. Joe Namath takes his shot
Broadway Joe! An excellent Golf Digest “My Shot” selection…
9. Middle seat in coach!
Daniel Rapaport for Golf Digest...”Brendon Todd has reason to celebrate. After a multi-year slump that saw Todd miss 37 of 40 cuts, drop outside the top 2,000 and consider quitting the game, the 34-year-old shot 62 on Sunday to win the Bermuda Championship.”
“…Time to pop bottles in first class, right? Wrong. Double wrong. According to a tweet from Golf Channel analyst Jim Galllagher Jr., Todd sat in a middle seat on his voyage back to the U.S.”
