After all of this, Johnson returns to ready Price's equipment for his arrival. Grips are wiped down, balls marked, and the bag gets stocked with fresh fruit and bottles of water. For Price, Tuesday is practice day. A practice round is used to get a feel for the course as well as Johnson s earlier measurements. Most pros don t play just one ball during a practice round.
Every player takes extra strokes on the green.
Some people think we re crazy, putting to a spot well away from the hole, laughs Price. He s not crazy. Most pros are very relaxed and laid-back on Tuesdays, which makes it the perfect day for fans to meet them. The players play games amongst themselves, many betting more over the course of a few holes than you or I will see in our next paycheck. Being one of the top players on Tour, Price also has to find time for his sponsors.
