This is the tweet University Place’s Michael Putnam (wrist) sent out Tuesday:

“Just got the doctors call saying its ok if I start golf related activities again!!! Can’t wait to be back out there!”

Great news! He will need a few weeks of practice, then a warm-up tournament or two. He could return to the PGA Tour next month.

On Wednesdays, marshals and regulars of the course spent hours cleaning up branches and other fallen debris so it could open to the public Thursday.

“Pretty much every tree had some branches down, or some damage done to it,” said Taylor Ferris,

Even though Troy Kelly has Northwest roots and now resides in Tacoma, his No. 2 spot in the east Los Angeles desert.

The Humana Challenge, held on three courses in La Quinta, Calif., should be right in his wheel house.

Making an aggressive effort to get his new RMG Club brand known, Moore made a commercial that started airing Friday – right around the same time as the PGA Tour’s Humana Challenge where the Cascade Christian graduate made his season debut.

“We knew it was Ryan’s first event, so it would be a good time to capture some people watching,” said Mike Moore, the RMG Club chief executive officer.

Moore’s brother, Jason, came up with the script. The commercial was filmed two weeks ago in Las
