Tour pros would rather go through an IRS audit than play in a pro-am. Publicly they say they love meeting interesting people and how great the pro-ams are. In truth, they loathe them. They're out there for six hours, see countless bad shots and hear the same stale jokes. If Tim Finchem announced next Monday that pro-ams were henceforth eliminated, he'd find 200 cases of champagne on his porch Tuesday morning. TOM WEISKOPF

Weekend Recap: Rahm, Perez And Henderson Triumph

The game as played on the golf course represents only a modest part of the pleasure, enjoyment and satisfaction that comes to a person because he is a golfer. Unfortunately, the avid interest of the golfer does not always attach itself to those stroke-by-stroke recitals so frequently provided by average golfers in average locker rooms; but the lore of the game. the story of its development and of the stirring deeds of the great players of the past must always command the respectful attention of all who play golf at all regularly. To become reasonably knowledgeable in such matters comes close to being an obligation of a true golfer. BOBBY JONES
