Spell&Grammar question

"The common denominator was each golfer used a titanium club, and hit the ball [from] just out of bounds next to dry vegetation, where the ground was extremely rocky," he said.

Why is "from" in clamps [..] ?

It's not said but implied.

Right, journalistic practice is quote the person accurately, but then they added the from to help the reader.

Also where are you from that you would say clamps? Is that a Britishism? Haven't heard that before. US speakers would usually say brackets.

It's like that because whomever they're taking a direct quote from didn't actually say 'from' in the quote. They had to put it in there for it to make sense for the audience.

So it was as simple as I suspected.

It's weird in the given quote though, readers being the audience through the article or not the meaning changes quite a bit with or without that word.

It's just a mistake on my part, just looked it up and as you say the right word is bracket. We use a word here that I thought made sense translated to clamp.

hahaha. I shouldn't have done all of that COKE tonight yall ngaz killin me.

The reason Spell and Grammar is an epic troll is because he/she pops up at just the right moment. Enough to where even though you know that's an account and likely an alt of someone who posts a lot, you don't expect it to happen. And it's generally funny.
