**UPDATE: Apparently, Kevin Kisner, winner of the Chile Classic on the Web.com Tour, is no longer an official Nike Golf player. We will still try to find out what clubs he was playing for his victory this weekend.

Series: Golf Buzz

I'm a big fan of the LPGA.  I got my start in golf due to caddying in an LPGA event and some of the most fun times I've had on the course have been with LPGA professionals.  They are smart, creative, engaging and often, wickedly funny.

Golfers have a timepiece worth watch-ing

Phosphor watches are ideal time keepers for golfers

I'm not a "watch" guy.  Never worn them and now, with the ubiquitous nature of mobile phones, I see no reason I ever will.  In fact, I can't think of a time or place where I didn't have easy access to the time -- except the golf course.

Sometimes cell phones are prohibited, sometimes they are frowned upon, sometimes they are just hard to keep nearby - but knowing the time while on the course is important. We all have busy lives and at the very least, want to know our pace of play is in line with what it should be. So now - I need a watch.

Apologies if you've seen this before - this happened in January but it was featured on HLN this morning.  

Nine putters lined up - all sinking it into the same hole. Pretty cool.  Apparently, it took them 28 tries?

If a photo tells a thousand words - well, I have nothing much to add.  Play, during the LPGA Tour's season-opening Women's Australian Open, was interrupted and delayed as kangaroos decided to play through.  

Hopping good time?
