Clue/Question: The golfer’s erratic play on the course resulted in – – –
Answer: MOOD SWINGS
(I don’t know for a fact, but I’d guess that a good number of heart attacks take place on golf courses! The game/sport is one frustration after another. Especially, for the average duffers. Slicing it, hooking it, topping it, skying it, landing in the deep rough, landing in a sand bunker, landing out of bounds, landing in a pond or creek . . . or the ocean! Even the pros can only control just so much. Golf has been described as a good walk spoiled. But the best explanation of golf I ever heard came from Robin Williams! Look it up, and give it a watch. It will crack you up!
All of today’s clue words have played through before. However, all of the jumbles appear to be fresh out of the box. All pretty straight forward. No doglegs. The answer letter layout was a thoughtful ten letter jumble. I thought it was amply cryptic. I guess I just picked up on the word “erratic”, because I saw the final answer quickly.
Fun cartoon of what looks like our guys on the golf course. If it is, it looks like Jeff is the calm one and David is the hot-head. Calm down, cuz! I bet Bryson DeChambeau sucks at word puzzles! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Unc, you may need to give the rest of us a quick Golfing 101 tip. I recognize the other golfing errors you mentioned except one: “skying it”.
Please explain ! I’m sure I’m not the only one who hasn’t heard that one.
That’s when you get too much club under the ball, and it goes much more up than out. There are times when you want this to happen, as when you’re trying to get up a steep grade to the green, or out of a sand trap to the green. But you don’t want this to happen when you drive, or on a long approach shot.
