It was simply a courtesy to the hack that thought he took a gamble when he pulled his drive to the inside of the dog leg. Hacks don't aim at the inside of a dogleg...like most dogs they only get inside the leg when they are done serving the master. That master being talent...to which they have none but do imply through the odd jerk of the coincidence of timing. God does smile on the man who will never shoot his age or reach the age for which he shoots.
