TOUR SEASON/YOUR SEASON 2021 It's easy to forget now, but back in June the PGA Tour's season was on the brink. Tour caddies were spotted in local watering holes, and one young player hosted a house party for nearly two dozen revelers.

Kimmel, was an ardent golfer, and he was getting dressed for his regular Sunday-morning game at the Fort Shafter golf course when the first bombs began raining down upon Pearl Harbor. "I don't suppose that any of the pro or amateur golfers who were combat soldiers, marines or sailors will soon be able to think of a three-putt green as one of the really bad troubles in life", Mangrum said.

ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AT THE PLAYERS, in a distant corner of TPC Sawgrass, the ritual departure ofthe Tour trucks begins. "You can teach a club fitter to drive a truck but I don't think you can teach a truck driver to build golf clubs", Napier, 39, says of his unusual skill set. As the Callaway truck (nicknamed Bertha, inevitably) rolls on, a couple of tournament volunteers in a golf cart lock eyes with Napier and give a pumping motion with their hands. Like Napier, Simon Wood spends more time in the truck building clubs; a displaced Brit, Woody has become so Americanized he drives a Corvette and counts Coors Light as his favorite beer.
