SACRAMENTO, Calif. — There is such a thing as smart golf. Jack Nicklaus may provide the best example.
There is strategic golf. "There are no 7-iron shots at Merion," said the analytical Ben Hogan.
There is patient golf. The cool Jordan Spieth currently rules this category.
And then there is Woody Wisdom, named for the discombobulated Woody Austin. Let's be honest: Woody Wisdom seems to be a combination of absolutely none of the above.
Austin is a delightful, quirky, offbeat golfer who has bent his putter over his head and fallen into a pond while hitting a golf shot.
