Question
Why does Phil Mickelson wear his watch while playing?  Do any other tour players wear a watch while playing?

Answer
Dear Bob, thanks for the questions.  Isn't that strange...the very thought of him wearing a watch drives me nuts.  I never liked anything on me to create any asymetry.  As I understand it, Phil does it for rhythm sake.  He likes to check from time to time on his own shot routine.  He is not using it to time the round or anything like that, but simply to stay consistent on his own methods.  In the end, who knows.  Good luck and remember...

Love the game,
Skipper
