As Bryson DeChambeau celebrates yet another win in an incredible 2018, my mind is cast back to April 2017 and The Houston Open. I was on the range watching Phil, Beef, and Rickie launching drives when I noticed a lone, almost forlorn figure over by the short game area.
Poor old Bio Kim. The Korean who is leading the money list on the Korean tour, has been handed a three-year suspension for raising his middle finger at members of the crowd at the weekend. This seems a rather harsh punishment and will cost the young man a lot of dosh.
We love carrying a golf bag. Even though we're constantly told carrying is bad for our backs, and that everyone should use a trolley, you don't feel like a real man if you're not carrying your golf bag. It's generally quicker too, not having to go down out of the way paths, and maneuver around greens. And we support anything that keeps the game quick. So hat's off to Ogio for their Shoxx X4 Suspension straps that take the strain off when carrying.

Dates have also been announced for four Rolex Series events including the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open.

Ever wondered why isn't golf compliant with World Anti-Doping Agency Standards? What have the governing bodies and tours got to be afraid of?
On an interrupted day of play, Lydia Hall and Nuria Iturrioz share the lead at the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open after the first round was suspended.
