The answers to today's Strands, game #409, are DRIVER WEDGE IRON PUTTER WOOD CHIPPER UTILITY SPANGRAM: GOLF CLUBS My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

A belated tribute to the Masters, perhaps. Although, like happy hours, theres always a major golf tournament going on somewhere in the world, so maybe Strands is bigging up the Chinese Open, which begins in Shanghai tomorrow (thanks, Google).

Not being much of a golf person, I had never heard of a UTILITY club before, but it makes sense to have one club thats a hybrid of different clubs that
you can use if you dont know what to select.

Despite my lack of real-world experience, I completed todays round without
the need for a hint. Amazing what you can learn from watching the final hour of a four-day event.
