OPENING SHOT
Happy Monday, golf fans. Did you catch any of the QBE Shootout over the weekend? The Lexi Thompson-Tony Finau team finished fourth, begging the question, why don't we have a mixed teams silly season event? Surely the QBE would have been more compelling viewing if every team featured a PGA Tour pro and an LPGA Tour pro. More exciting than the winning team of Steve Stricker and Sean O'Hair, no?

Beginning in January, viewers will not be able to call in infractions seen on T.V. This is a good thing, as Golf.com's Josh Sens explains.
The easiest way to keep veteran tour pros happy on the course? Not playing with a chatty partner. “I tend to play better when there’s no need for small talk.”
Don't think a chat with a manufacturer of golf towels can be interesting? Think again.
