Phil Mickelson’s kids are terrified of what he’s going to do on Twitter
Andrew Redington(Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty Images)Phil Mickelson knows how to play to a crowd, so it's not surprising the 48-year-old's long-awaited introduction to Twitter this week incited its share of commotion. Also not surprising: Mickelson's social-media tenor has been…well, that of a 48-year-old. From his first message to the orchestrated banter between he and Tiger Woods, the five-time major winner's account has been the embodiment of a “dad joke.”

Despite the murky drop protocol, this is still much better than bumping into a gator or a pissed-off goose using the next tee box for a toilet, and Downey, to his credit, seemed more amused than anything else. “They've been at the course all summer,” said the 38-year-old Longmeadow local. “I've seen up to five of them at a time.
