Stupid Golf Problems: A unique twist on the golf hoodie debate

By now, most would agree that the hoodie has not only become acceptable attire on the golf course, it’s become encouraged. Golf stodginess will always remain at the most elite clubs in the world, but even at the stuffiest places, you’ll likely find a logoed hoodie in the pro shop. That said, are there still Read more…

This 28-second birdie by Team Rory at the Golf Channel Games was cinema

There were a number of highlights from Wednesday night’s pleasantly surprising debut of the Golf Channel Games, but the standout was clearly the Team Relay competition, which had all four players from both teams involved in a little speed golf. One player stood at the tee, one player in the fairway and two around the Read more…

The sneaky reason Smylie Kaufman is still confident in Jordan Spieth

Given their close relationship, it’s to be expected that Smylie Kaufman is always going to remain in Jordan Spieth’s corner. But Kaufman’s reasoning as to why Spieth could return to his old self in 2026 goes a bit beyond just simply gassing up your boy. Kaufman, who joined us on this week’s episode of The Read more…

Hero World Challenge picks 2025: Our outright winner selections

After getting the Thanksgiving break off (unless you wagered on the Skins Game), the PGA Tour returns to offer us one last shot at glory in 2025 with the Hero World Challenge. Tiger Woods is on site as host but won’t be teeing it up this year. And while the small field does leave a Read more…

Did Eli Manning really just invite us to play golf?

Few things stir up confusion in golfers quite like the soft invitation to a nice private course. “Was that guy I met just twice serious about that?” you ask yourself. “Do I follow up with him and come across as a beggar?” you ponder. “Maybe I’ll just wait and see if he reaches out again Read more…

Stupid Golf Problems: How do you handle the bragging cheater?

We all have that one golf buddy. You know the one. They’re hopelessly addicted to the game just like you, despite the fact that they are breathtakingly bad at it. So bad that you forgive all the foot wedges and scooped-up five-footers and just-put-me-down-for-six-when-I-really-made-a-10s. Who cares? Your buddy is harmless. They’re not breaking 100 any Read more…

Stupid Golf Problems: At what temperature is it OK to bail on a round of golf?

Generally speaking, I’m a big if-you-commit-to-something-you’ve-got-to-show-up guy. But, alas, s–t happens. When it comes to a planned in advance round of golf, the type of “s–t happens” scenarios vary for everyone. My kid’s practice time got changed and my spouse can’t drive them then. I’m absolutely swamped at work. The pot of boiling pasta water Read more…

Stupid Golf Problems: Am I an a** for enforcing the rules?

It’s hard to pick any one line as my favorite in the 1998 cult classic “The Big Lebowksi,” because there are far too many to choose from, but I think I most enjoy the moment when John Goodman’s character Walter Sobchak sees a man named Smokey go “over the line” while rolling an eight in Read more…
