Our Front 9 Punchline Contest allows our fans to help us write each issue of Golf World. Every Sunday, we invite readers to contribute a snappy comment for one item in the Front 9 feature. Golf World editors feed the straight line on our Golf World Facebook page; readers contribute the punchline, which we publish (along with your name and hometown). We send the winner a sleeve of Golf World-logoed balls, too!

It's always a tough decision, but we've narrowed our list of finalists down to the five most witty entries for this week!
This was the set-up line we supplied this week:
"Using borrowed clubs, Brandt Snedeker beats Thomas Bjorn in the first round of the Volvo Match Play."The winning punchline, supplied by Mark Harman of Ridgefield, S.C., appears in this week's (May 28) issue:
"His next opponent went to the airport to make sure his real clubs arrived safely at the course."
Other punchline finalists:
Mario Morales, Manhattan, K.S.:
"Thinking, 'Man, I'm glad I had underwear in my carry-on!' "
Paul Rabinovitch, Wilmington, Del.:
"Bjorn Free: Snedeker's borrowed sticks too much for Dane."
Thomas B. Allen, Middletown, Ohio:
"Thinking that carrying too many clubs was holding him back, Snedeker announced he'll play his next round with just seven clubs."
T.J. Crane, Crothersville, Ind.:
"Proof you can always do more with less."
Check back for our next contest on our Golf World Facebook wall on Sunday for your next shot at getting published!
