Harmon, who is best known for having been Tiger Woods’ golf coach from 1993 to 2004, told his number 8 ranked golfer in the world to keep his eye on the prize.
He told Sky Sports: “We had a big conversation at the end of the year last year and he didn’t like it. I said ‘you gotta decide are you going to be a Kardashian or are you going to be a golf pro? You’re the king of social media, you’re all over these snap chats and all these things.
“You need to reach down and grab your ears and get your head out of your you know what and get back to work, get your body in shape.
“He’s got a trainer he works out tremendously with and he’s worked unbelievable with his golf swing. He’s gone back to winning tournaments again – get rid of those Kardashians.Harmon’s sternness with Fowler may be in response to Rickie spending time with his now official girlfriend, smoking hot pole vaulter Allison Stokke.
“The young man is ready to go. Whether it happens today or not, he’s going to win some majors but this would be a good time to start.”

Did You Know - Shake Shack Edition
10 Things We Never Knew About Shake Shack
4. The ShackSauce Recipe Is Secret . . . . . ish
6. Spicy ShackSauce Exists
8. There's an Official Shake Ratio

4. The ShackSauce Recipe Is Secret . . . . . ish
- Even though they won't give up the official secret recipe, they give a "close enough" version in the book. Combine ½ cup Hellman’s mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard, ¾ tsp. Heinz ketchup, ¼ tsp. kosher dill pickling brine, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Add it to a classic smash burger, and you're in business.
6. Spicy ShackSauce Exists
- When developing the Chick'n Shack, they thought about making ground chicken burgers or grilled chicken sandwiches, but ultimately Meyer wanted fried chicken—with ShackSauce. They developed a spicy ShackSauce, but it never made it into restaurants because they worried people wouldn't be able to tell the two sauces apart. Instead, they went with a buttermilk ranch for the fried-chicken sandwich that took two years to perfect.
8. There's an Official Shake Ratio
- If you get a hankering for a shake in the middle of the night, just blend together 1½ cups custard (or your favorite premium ice cream, they say) and ½ cup milk. If you want it flavored, add 2 Tbsp. of your favorite sauce and ⅓ cup milk instead of plain ol' milk.

Still A Long Way To Go To Get Out Of The Foxhole
U.S. Open TV analysis: Fox’s technology outpaces its announcers
Where Fox still has work to do is with its announcers, which tend to be overexposed during long days, such as the opening rounds of the U.S. Open. Fortunately, there’s a solution, which I’m here to offer.
• One of Fox’s best moments Friday was a terrific little feature in which Zach Reineking, Erin Hills’ director of course operations, explained how the course barters hay for furniture with the local Amish community. The feature was short, it wasn’t intrusive, and it told me something interesting that I didn’t know about the club.
• How long is Fox going to continue the failed Holly Sonders Experiment? Last year I wrote that when Fox anchors say, “Let’s go down to Holly,” my thought is, “Let’s not.”
Bottom line: she stinks on TV. I don’t question Sonders’ golf knowledge. She played Division 1 college golf, so she knows the game. She’s just not cut out for the job.
Sonders was fine five years ago in her very limited role on Golf Channel’s “Morning Drive,” but she’s asked to do far too much at Fox. I think a friend had it right when he said Sonders tries too hard to be a personality (“golf’s Vanna White” was his description). But she’s not a personality. She lacks an easy manner on camera, she’s not spontaneous, and she’s not amusing.
She also doesn’t seem particularly competent. On Friday, in a segment with architect Gil Hanse, Sonders couldn’t bring up a graphic of No. 14. “I have never been friends with this thing,” Sonders said of the machine. “Three years now and I still can’t get it figured out.”
Here’s my crazy, completely off-the-wall suggestion: Remove Holly and put someone in that job who can call up the proper graphic.
