Default Phrasal Verb Fun

This is for all the English majors, and others who like word games. Identify the phrasal verbs in the story below.

If you like this game, you will see more stories. If not, don't play.

Tournament for the Golf Coach

Tiger Woods’ coach was having so much trouble with his own game that he got angry at a photographer and told him off. He burned up a lot of energy golfing in the rough that day. He wanted to make good in the tournament so he practiced a lot. If he won, he would hear from other golfers. He wanted to make it clear that he is an excellent golfer and not just a good coach.

I always heard that you should never marry a man with two first names.
