There’s a certain smell in the air this week. And that’s not just because it’s the Waste Management Open (just a horrible joke, genuinely sorry about that), it smells like golf because this tournament is one of the best the game has to offer. The smell could also very well be the booze that is […]
For those that haven’t been closely following golf Twitter over the past few hours, you’ve missed out on Phil Mickelson walking on water. Phil has parted the red Seas of Twitter to voice his opinion on who would win in a match between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. As a notably unselfish man, Phil […]
A quick flashback to the past for the interesting story on how this tournament came to be. Since 1937, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (formerly known as the Crosby Clambake) has been a staple of the PGA tour. The Pro-Am tag dates back to the days of Bing Crosby, when he forked up $10,000 in […]

In light of recent antics from everyone’s favorite golfer Patrick Reed and his decision to formally attack Rory McIlroy on camera. Trigger warning. The video is a little gruesome.

By now you probably know that John Rahm just capped off a completely unforeseen comeback to win the Tournament of Champions and to take home an insane $2.7 million. Hats off to him, he turned what was supposed to be a boring final round into a fascinating last few hours of golf .With that being […]
The race to the FedEx Cup technically kicked off last September with the Fortinet Championship in Napa, California. Where Max Homa took home 500 FedEx Cup points along with a cool $1.4 million. In fact, 11 FedEx Cup events have already been played for the 2022-23 season. Cannot say I know anybody that has been […]
It is hard to put into words the potential impact of the coming weekend on golf. Amidst all of the drama of LIV Golf and the debates over players choosing money over the pursuit of tournament wins, we come to St. Andrews for the 150th Open Championship in golf history. Not only is this course […]
Locks for The Country Club Brookline Massachusetts: a town full of history, one of the most prestigious golf courses, and the occasional Masshole. Not many things get to be known as “The” anything.
