Time and time again we are shown flashy sports cars with flashier women in the passenger seat careening over San Francisco hills as a charismatic criminal/wrongly accused hero races for their very freedom. Go rewatch ‘The Rock’ if you need a refresher, because Read more…
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…
A few years ago, I attended a Gary Player golf event with an incredible cast of golf luminaries, but one person stood out. That would be Lee Trevino, a walking, talking golf encyclopedia who when approached on the driving range immediately started given me lesson on ball-striking.

Golfpocalypse is a meandering collection of words about golf (professional and otherwise) that sometimes, but not always, has a point. Reach out with your questions or comments on absolutely anything at [email protected]. We’ll publish the best emails here.

If you’re a baseball fan, you know what it’s like to watch a player from “The Show” step down to the minor leagues from time to time. Sometimes they’re sent down for poor performance, other times it’s for an injury rehab assignment, but regardless of the circumstances, the result is almost always the same: They Read more…
Golf Twitter can be a tough crowd to please, but judging by the early results, the inaugural Optum Golf Channel Games were a big success.

That’s good news for the rest of us as we venture off to our holiday destinations (a crowded airport, the in-laws’ WiFi-less cabin, the community theater for a rousing rendition Read more…
Rounds have been stopped (or at least slowed down) by all sorts of animals. Birds? Sure. Bears? But of course. Dogs? It’s ruff, but it happens. And yet, we can’t say we saw this one coming, especially at an official DP World Tour event, as a caterpillar—yes, a caterpillar!—brought play to a halt. A referee Read more…
