For most golfers, putting from just off the green is a better option than chipping the ball because your margin for error is much greater with a flat stick. While you might chunk or blade your worst chip, a bad putt from off the green will still get you somewhere around the hole.

Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor, who died in 2011, was a pioneering advocate for the LGBTQ Community long before it became fashionable to do so. As fate would have it, three of Taylor's dearest friends were closeted gay male Hollywood icons: Montgomery Clift, James Dean, and Rock Hudson. All three men died in tragic ways. Hudson died from AIDS in 1985, while Clift and Dean died in a very eerily similar manner: in car accidents.
