Loved it all. I did notice something in the playback. I made a couple of small “mistakes” or just the verbiage that used wasn’t entirely correct. One had to do with the rules the other was I think I stated the wrong caddy right in the beginning. But regarding the rules - I said “back on the line of flight” one time and that’s kind of a bad thing to say - a real “no-no” in the Rules official world. ( It’s back on the line relief as you know ) and if somebody was really paying attention, they would say - hey that’s not right.AMATEURGOLFTOUR.NET Support the show Podcast HomepageGolfweek Amateur TourSenior Amateur TourFacebookYouTubeSrixonJondo Sunglasses Learn more about your ad choices.
