Q: While the suits NASCAR drivers wear are covered with sponsor logos, it seems pro golfers have just a few. Does the PGA limit the number and size of logos on golf shirts and hats? What about location?
—Frank Manfre, Grayson
A: As a guideline, logos on a PGA Tour player's clothing and headwear should not be larger than 3 by 5 inches and are to be placed in accepted locations, including "right and left breast of shirt, right and left sleeve of shirt, right and left collar of shirt, yoke of shirt and front, back and sides of headwear," according to the Player Endorsement Policy in the "2014-15 PGA Tour Player Handbook & Tournament Regulations."
Guidelines also suggest that players have no more than four different sponsor logos and they shouldn’t be placed “across the back of a shirt,” down sleeves or pant legs and across the “rear-end area of a player’s pants.” The front of a hat or visor and the left side of the chest are “known as the most valuable real estate on a golfer’s body,” GolfDigest wrote in 2012.
Q: It appears that the Governor’s office is inundated with signed petitions during the legislative session. What do they do with these petitions? Are they logged, saved or sent straight to the landfill?
—Seth Walker, Marietta
A: Gov. Nathan Deal's office follows a protocol that all forms of communication from constituents, including signed petitions, are archived and logged. The governor also is notified of "important constituent concerns" as petitions arrive, Merry Hunter Hipp, Deal's deputy director of communications, told Q&A on the News.
