Golf is the one game in which the player's ball is not subject to the interference of the opponent. It is a question of supremacy of accurate strokes without human interference, but there exists interference, nevertheless, and its name is 'hazard,' which is golfese for trouble. A.W. TILLINGHAST

Hayley Salvatore of the Washington Post tells the amazing story of 14-year-old Madison Smith, who has overcome Stage 3 colorectal and is competing for her high school golf team with dreams of making it to Augusta.
During a trip to Maui in August, Madison started experiencing extreme stomach pain and nausea. While she was initially diagnosed as being infected with E. coli and Salmonella — bacteria consistent with food poisoning — her symptoms persisted after she took medication, prompting her mother to suspect worse. Doctors performed an X-ray, found a stricture — a narrowing of the intestinal tract — and airlifted her to a hospital in Honolulu that was equipped to perform surgery.
When pediatric surgeon Sidney Johnson was finished, he pulled Molly and James Smith out of the recovery room to discuss the results. In the hospital’s chapel, Johnson told them he had removed 23 swollen lymph nodes and a foot of Madison’s colon and that a biopsy came back positive for both celiac disease and cancer. Molly and James were stunned to learn about their otherwise healthy daughter’s diagnosis.
“We had not even been contemplating that because she’s so young and it’s so rare for her age group,” James said. “It just doesn’t happen, so we weren’t prepared for that.”
The cancer afflicts around 100 kids Smith’s age annually, but with the support of her family, school and puppy, she made it through 12 chemo sessions and is back on the course playing high school matches with hopes of making to Augusta via the Drive, Chip and Putt.
Keegan Bradley shot the lowest score in bad weather for the second straight day at the Wells Fargo Championship. He leads Max Homa by 2 shots after a third-round 67 at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm.
Ken Duke's triple bogey on 15 opened the door for David Toms to take the lead at the Mitsubishi Electric Classic.
Thorbjorn Olesen finished eagle-birdie to shoot 3-under 69 and take a 3-stroke lead into the final round of the British Masters as he bids for his first win in four years amid a career rebuild.
Welcome back to #ASKMYGOLFSPY where readers like you submit questions week after week to our team here at MyGolfSpy. Today, the topic is putters.
Do you want to make as many putts as possible? Many golfers will only play with irons and woods fitted by a professional club fitter. Surprisingly, some of these same players will never get fitted for a putter. Take it from me. A properly fitted putter will help you make more putts.
Unfortunately, there is an “artist, not the brush” mentality out there in terms of putters. I’ve heard more than once that “a good putter can putt with anything.” I think that’s it a bit misleading.
Many amateurs are not good putters. They battle read, line and speed issues. While a properly fitted putter most likely won’t correct all these issues, it will reduce them. A putter that matches your stroke path, speed tendencies and alignment will help you make more putts.
Jason Day ground through a rainy day to shoot a 3-under 67 for a 3-shot lead heading into the weekend at the Wells Fargo Championship.
David Toms ran off three straight birdies after a rain delay and closed with a short birdie when he judged the wind right, giving him a 7-under 65 and a share of the lead with Ken Duke after one round of the Mitsubishi Electric Classic.
German golfer Hurly Long was the halfway leader at the British Masters by a stroke on Friday. Tournament host Danny Willett was among seven players within two strokes of Long.

Edel believes its Swing-Match-System wedges offer golfers a first-of-its-kind opportunity to play a wedge fitted based on the unique attributes of YOUR swing. Moreover, Edel believes every golfer fits into one of three swing types: cover, side-on or under. Put another way: steep, neutral or shallow.
Citing internal testing, Edel found that 80 percent of tested golfers saw the best spin numbers with the heaviest weight NOT in the center location.

Did you know there are an estimated 6.2 million female golfers in the U.S.? That’s up from 4.9 million in 2018 so it’s obvious women’s golf is growing fast!
Like all golfers, women want the best spikeless golf shoes they can get. Given the similarity in designs, you would think that shoes from any given brand would perform equally well for both men and women.
WRONG!
Our testing shows that isn’t always the case.
Former Ryder Cup player Thorbjorn Olesen and Ryan Fox shared a one-shot lead following the first round of the British Masters on Thursday.
Jason Day shot a 7-under 63 to take a first round lead at the Wells Fargo Championship and said afterward he is "obsessed with honing his new swing and improving his results.
This is going to be tough to swallow. The emotions, the sadness, the outright misery that this man has had to endure playing the PGA Tour as a brooding, temper-tantrum prone, green vandalizing jagwagon may be coming to an end.
Having hit his shot into the 10th hole junk, Sergio Garcia vented his case for leniency to a PGA Tour rules official over the commencement of timing for his lost ball search.
"I can't wait to get out of here,” the miserable said not in reference to the overgrown penalty area, but we would soon find out, in reference to the PGA Tour. Then after more of his signature whining and petulance when he didn’t get his way, Sergio announced he’s going to be taking up residence on the LIV Golf tour where the slogan is, “Shot Just Got Real".
"I can't wait to leave this tour. ... I can't wait to get out of here, my friend,” the wee one said.
And just to be sure we were unclear, the 2017 Masters champion wrapped things up with: "a couple of more weeks, I don't have to deal with you anymore."
