Bank is open

NORTON - Tidbits from around TPC Boston:

*If you have ever paid $45 for a half-hour golf lesson, a ducat to the Deutsche Bank Championship is worth the price - for the practice range alone. The bleachers are very close to players, and you can study the pros' moves as they prepare to play. It gets really good when Mr. Driving Range, Vijay Singh, shows up with his bag of tricks.

*Overheard only in metro Boston - and possibly Fiji:
Female media member to male counterpart:
Female: "My girlfriend says Vijay Singh is hot."
Male: "A spectator probably breathed during his practice swing. He's usually ticked off about something."
Female: "No, no .... She thinks he's hot, as in hot-looking."
