They’re often found in undisturbed marshy grasslands and have “teeth” outgrowths to protect themselves from nearby predators.

To start this all off, I just want to say that I’ve yet to attend a Masters, and I’d really love to at some point, so this is purely a retelling of a Kenny Mayne story from a podcast. Not a flourish to be seen here. And Augusta National, I’ll hopefully see you down the Read more…
The average swing thought could send your run-of-the-mill golfer into therapy. Every so often, there’s a positive, maybe even helpful idea. But for the most part, it’s cursing out oneself, coming up with bizarre strategies or cursing out other people. One can only imagine the Alice-in-Wonderland-esque rabbit hole that Jordan Spieth frequently falls into. The Read more…
When Rory McIlroy won last year’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, it was the first time he claimed the title at the historic Monterey Peninsula venue. The World No. 2 outlasted his good friend Shane Lowry at Pebble, and then went on to win both the Players and the Masters in playoffs. Rory now has a Read more…

Perhaps you’ve heard the big Farmers Insurance Open news: Last year’s Latin America Amateur Championship winner, Justin Hastings, will be making his 2026 PGA Tour debut. He finished T-2 at The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic last week and is searching for his first professional win. Oh, also, Brooks Koepka will be teeing it up. The Read more…
The moral of the story here is to not bet against Scottie Scheffler. Don’t think about it. Don’t even think about thinking about it. You say something silly about the World No. 1, and the next thing you know, he has six birdies over his first nine holes to start the year, and you’re being Read more…
The only thing worse than getting ridiculed online by a fellow golfer is getting ridiculed online by one of the best courses in the U.S. There are but a few good things left on the Internet; this is one of those. Heading into the College Football National Championship, NFL pundit and University of Miami grad Read more…

I’ve been hit by a golf ball only once while out on the course. And yes, it was by my dad. He hooked it out of the bunker, and in seemingly slow motion, it found me standing right next to the cart. There was no real pain, just shock, and I lived to see another Read more…
