Phil Mickelson appears to be using his time away from the PGA Tour to dish out calf exercise tips, with his first two clients being superstars Tom Brady and Stephen Curry.
First, it was reported that the New England Patriots quarterback was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury. Jokingly, Mickelson responded:
I’m on standby for a flight to Boston. Let’s not let inadequate calves hold us back. 😎 https://t.co/MQ6IkVNOBo

You're mistaken if you believed Mickelson flies anything other than private.
When I say standby, I mean I’m waiting on clearance from the tower, not waiting for a seat opening. My bad. I could see how you could misunderstand.

The six-time Super Bowl champion is all-in on Mickelson's help.
I feel #7 is on its way!

Curry took notice of Mickelson's generosity and wanted to make sure his technique was correct when doing calf raises.
Hmm, almost @Stephencurry30. It’s a very technical move, best if I show you in person. I’ll be in Napa next week if you really want #CalvesLikeAdonis https://t.co/93uHBH3qDJ

Mickelson will have an opportunity to demonstrate his technique to Curry firsthand next week in Napa, California. The two have been partnered together for the Wednesday pro-am at the Safeway Open, according to Golf Channel's Ryan Lavner.
