• “A lot of people think it’s [bad] that I waited,” Kim said, “but I didn’t want to make an accusation if there was a chance it was going to be a false accusation.

• “I was very surprised [they didn’t know the rule]. I don’t want to say I am disappointed in them as individuals, but I am disappointed in the fact that [the violation] was even a possibility, that people claim to have seen it thousands of times. What shocked me was their lack of knowledge of the rules. Does that suck? Royally. Is it excusable? Absolutely not.”

• And this…”It’s tough, too, because I know the people involved. They’re good people, but mistakes happen. Those mistakes have severe consequences, but that’s not to say they can be excused. I’m not going to [ignore the violation], because then I’m complicit and all three of us would deserve to be disqualified. It was a tough decision to make in that I care about these people, but I also care about the 95 other players in field. The only thing I regret is people had to be affected by an honest mistake, and it was all avoidable. I feel sad about that.”

• Per Golfweek’s Adam Woodard…”Monday morning on Golf Channel’s Morning Drive, Robert Damron shot down Dye’s “thousands of times” assertion.”

• “The fact that she’s said she’s seen this thousands of times is a crazy statement,” said Damron, adding he’s never seen it happen once on a professional level. Maybe at a club, sure. “I think that she’s confusing the fact that a caddie may flash a number to a spotter or a cameraman or one of the on-course reporters what they’re hitting, but it’s no way directed at the other players. No way did one of the other players ask them, ‘Tell me what you just hit there.'”

• “Golfweek’s Geoff Shackelford was also on set Monday morning and agreed...”Ultimately it really does come down to a really simple thing: This is not something that has happened thousands of times,” explained Shackelford, who wrote a column addressing the topic. “We’ve all enjoyed the fun of watching a player go over and look in (another player’s) bag and see what was hit. To simply ask, what’s next … are you going to ask for help for a read on a putt? That’s why the rule’s in place.”

• “Speaking to Men’s Health Australia, Norman detailed what happened when he decided to hand-deliver a congratulatory letter to Woods after his Masters win this year.”

• “Very few people know this: when Tiger won the Masters this year, I wrote him a handwritten note and drove down my road, maybe a quarter of a mile, and hand-delivered it to his guard at his gate. I said, “Hey, this is Greg Norman here. I’ve got a note for Tiger – can you please hand-deliver it to him?” Well, I never heard a word back from the guy.”

• “Norman mused to the publication how perhaps Woods dislikes him, after comparing the perceived snub to how Norman and Jack Nicklaus interacted following the Australian’s first major victory.”

• “If young people will only realise playing golf will help you in the business and it’s played everywhere in the world, and people in South Africa are reluctant to understand,” said the 84-year-old.

• “Our previous minister of sport doesn’t ever include golf in their talks. They’re so naive because golf gets more publicity and coverage than any other sport because there’s a golf tournament almost every year and we have many South Africans playing, and gaining great publicity and good behaviour for our country.”

• “MIKE McALLISTER: OK, Golf Digest’s list is out. What’s your reaction? Any surprises?”

• “SEAN MARTIN: I want to know why ties weren’t resolved. Charles Howell III and Peter Malnati should have to duke it out for 19th and 20th place. A nice-off.”

• “CAMERON MORFIT: Most glaring omission is Ben Crane, who is the only player I ever interviewed who insisted on making me lunch. He also wanted to play tennis after.”

• “BEN EVERILL: It’s brilliant to see Gary Woodland get a place on this list [at No. 2]. He’s a quiet guy who has been through a lot but those close to him have always known he’s a class act. The world saw more of it with his relationship with Amy Bockerstette. Also, I’m proud to see four Aussies on the list — even though I could make a case for a few more!”

• “I started playing golf when I was at the University of Alabama. Coach [Bear] Bryant might actually have introduced me to it. He loved the game and didn’t mind us playing. He was a blast to play with because the game kind of got the better of him. When he hit a bad shot, he’d get mad but couldn’t show it-pride, Southern manners and all that. But when he hit one crooked he’d growl under his breath just like a bear. You could hear the rumbles across the fairway. I thought it was hilarious, and I had to turn my head so he couldn’t see me laugh. On the football field he was the undisputed boss, but on the course, golf was the boss of him.”

• “I got to playing so bad awhile back I was ready to quit. You’d never believe from the way I was hitting it that I once carried an 8-handicap. I went to see Matt Doyle, the head pro here at Turtle Creek. He’s a heck of a teacher, and he had me hitting it so good I was positive I was fixed. Within a few days, I was back hitting it sideways, with no recollection of what Matt had told me. The game is beating the heck out of me right now.”
