Eddie Pepperell gave his lob wedge t o a superfan during a round
?He wasthe only one I heard clapping? Eddie Pepperell might not be a household name in golf, at least to American enthusiasts. But he definitely made at least one lifelong fan this weekend. How? Easy, Pepperell gave his lob wedge to a spectator. Playing in the final round of the Czech Masters on Sunday, Pepperell had one fan following him all day and cheering him on. Pepperell was so grateful for the support that after hitting onto the green on the last hole, he walked over to the fan and handed him his wedge. PG 11 | SEP 2018
?He told me my ball hit a sprinkler on the last and kicked on and he gave me a clap for my shot,?Pepperell said. ?He was the only one I heard clapping so I said, ?Here you go, you can have my lob wedge.' ? And it?s unlikely he did so as a way to deal with on-course frustration, a la chucking his wedge into the water. Pepperell finished the tournament T9 at 12 under. Turns out the lucky fan could have been a whole lot luckier if he stuck around, as Pepperell told the interviewer, ?If he?s still around he can have the other 13.? You can watch video of the moment with Pepperell?s commentary above, via t he European Tour.

PGA TOUR Announces Changes To Furt her The Drama Of FedExCup, That ... And A W hole Bunch M ore M oney With the upcoming 2018- 19 PGA TOUR schedule reflecting previously announced, significant structural changes, PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan today unveiled further innovations that elevate the entire FedExCup season ? from the Regular Season through PG 26 | SEP 2018
the FedExCup Playoffs and ultimately, at the Playoffs Finale, the TOUR Championship. Included in the announcements is the fact that next year's FedExCup champion will receive a $15million bonus as part of the major changes being made to the end-of-season format, up from the previous $10million prize. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE
CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE
These changes include a simplified scoring system at the TOUR Championship that will determine the FedExCup Champion and a new $10 million program for the FedExCup Regular Season sponsored by W yndham Rewards: the ?Wyndham Rewards Top 10.? The FedExCup Playoffs ? which have been reduced from four to three events beginning next season and will conclude before Labor Day, allowing the TOUR to compete to own the August sports calendar ? will feature fields of 125 for THE NORTHERN TRUST, 70 for the BMW Championship and 30 for the TOUR Championship, where the FedExCup Champion will be determined. While the points structure for the first two events will remain the same (awarding quadruple points compared to FedExCup Regular Season events), there will be a significant change to the format for the PG 27 | SEP 2018
TOUR Championship. Instead of a points reset at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, beginning with the 2018-19 event the TOUR is instituting a strokes-based bonus system related to the FedExCup standings through the BMW Championship.
This is a significant and exciting change for the PGA TOUR, our players, our partnersand ? most importantly ? our fans,? Said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan. The FedExCup points leader after the first two Playoffs events will begin the TOUR Championship at 10-under par. The next four players will start at 8-under through 5-under, respectively. The next five will begin at 4-under, regressing by one stroke per five players until those ranked Nos. 26-30 start at even par.

It took root in Virginia in her teenage years after her parents moved the family to the United States. Thiagaraj now hopes it can fully blossom as she begins a professional career in the Vancouver area. Her pro career certainly started well. It was back in late April, not long after she arrived on the West Coast, when Thiagaraj made her pro debut on the Vancouver Golf Tour. Her first round as a pro turned some heads. In the first round of the VGT Masters at Morgan Creek Golf Course in Surrey, all Thiagaraj did was fire an eight-under 64 that included a hole-in-one. This pro golf thing is easy, right? ?No, it?s not,?the 24-year-old Thiagaraj says with a smile. ?Golf is hard. It?s a lot of work, day in and day out. But that was a great way to start my pro career. It was a good confidence booster and showed me that hard work pays off.? Vancouver Golf Tour commissioner Fraser Mulholland was one of those PG 30 | SEP 2018
who took notice of Thiagaraj?s impressive pro debut. ?I went from not knowing her to knowing her quite well after that 64,?Mulholland says. ?It was like, wow, where did she come from?? Unfortunately, Thiagaraj struggled in the second and final round at Morgan Creek after opening with that 64. But she has played well enough on the VGT this summer to be in line for a season-ending bonus as the top woman on the tour this year. It was her father, Charles, a former officer in the Indian army, who got Thiagaraj interested in golf. The family moved all over India in her childhood years before settling in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad. That is where Thiagaraj caught the golf

The Effect Of Cannabis On Playing Golf
Golf Digest did a study earlier this year where they tested three golfers of varying skill levels before and after consuming various amounts of THC. The results - although only anecdotal due to the very small sample size - are quite surprising.
Initially drive distances increased significantly but then declined dramatically
PG 32 | SEP 2018
DRIVES GOT LONGER? Up To A Point Consuming 18 mg of THC increased their drives by an average of 15 yards. The low Handicapper who admittedly was a shortish hitter when sober actually added a whopping 26 yards to his distance. They did not measure the accuracy of these drives but?

ACCURACY ON APPROACHES? Was Way Down At 18 mg, the average decrease in accuracy when compared to sober was 45 feet greater. In a truly strange turn of events when they consumed the most, 50 mg, their level of inaccuracy was much less, only nine feet more than sober!
Approach accuracy initially nose-dived but bizarrely returned to near"sober" levels when high levels of consumption were reached
Golf Digest also did a test of the effects of alcohol consumption, "? showing that distance and midrange putting remain relatively consistent while accuracy takes a head-first plunge into the drunk tank."

Vancouver Golf Tour (VGT) Commissioner Fraser Mulholland (L) Foresees A Promising Future For Thiagaraj, Especially If She Can Get A Helping Start Financially bug. ?As an army officer my dad had a bunch of perks and we had several courses we had access to,?she says. ?We played everywhere in the country and I practised at army golf clubs.? She began to play some junior tournament golf in India but her competitive career took off when the family moved to Virginia after her mother, Rajnandini, landed a job with the U.S government. ?There were not many junior golfers in India when I was there and even now, we do have a professional (women?s) tour in India but there are probably only 12 or 15 girls who play in India and the population is close to 1.3 billion. I have been away for nine or 10 years. The sport is growing but
they are still working on it.? After moving to the U.S., Thiagaraj became one of the top junior golfers in Virginia and went on to play collegiate golf at James Madison University in southern Virginia, where she also earned a health sciences degree. ?University golf is challenging, just keeping up with golf and academics and travelling,?she says. ?From the second I woke up until bed time, everything was all scheduled. Time management was very, very important and I learned a lot.? She finished off her degree last December and Thiagaraj wanted to see where her golf could take her.

Vancouver area and for the past few months has been living with an aunt in Port Coquitlam. She plays and practises out of Meadow Gardens Golf Course in Pitt Meadows. Mulholland, whose tour has provided the likes of PGA TOUR winners Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor with a place to hone their games, believes Thiagaraj has all the physical tools to play pro golf at a high level. ?I think she has got lots of game,? Mulholland says. ?I think she has enough physically to take her game out on the road. There is some uncertainty and doubt about what she is going to do. Does she have the money, the finances, to go out there? If someone gave her a package to go out there and try I don?t think it would take her very long to figure it out. ?She is very gifted physically and has had the experience in college. If she can come out in her first event and says I am going to turn pro and shoots 64 at Morgan Creek, that is a sign she has the mental capacity to do
it. This was a great first year for her to get her feet wet and play against the boys.? Lean and lanky, Thiagaraj hits the ball a mile. Distance is not an issue for her. ?It's all about the short game,?she says. ?They say golf is a game of misses, so if you can chip and putt, you can shoot low.?She acknowledges money is an issue and would welcome sponsors willing to help her chase her dream, which of course is playing on the LPGA Tour. Aditi Ashok is the lone Indian native currently playing on the LPGA Tour, but Thiagaraj notes that three Indian women made it through the first stage of the LPGA Tour qualifying school last month in southern California. ?Hopefully next year I will do Q-School,?Thiagaraj says. ?I am just working towards it and we?ll see what happens. I plan on spending the winter here. The VGT also has a winter tour so we?ll see how that goes. I just want to give it my 100 per cent and see what comes out of it.?
