This tweet got me thinking. I currently have a 4 iron in the bag that I can’t hit for sh*t. I think next year I’m going to replace it with a hybird and see if that helps. But enough about me..

Tee Off in Tennessee: Where Fairways Meet Touchdowns!
Buckle up, golf junkies! We're about to embark on a journey more exciting than finding an unmarked sprinkler head on the fairway. This week, we're swinging our way down to good ol' Knoxville, Tennessee!
But hold onto your visors, folks, because this ain't just any golf getaway. Oh no, we're talking a two-for-one special that'll make you holler louder than a hole-in-one. Why not trade those golf spikes for some orange face paint and catch a Tennessee Volunteers game while you're at it? It's like finding an extra sleeve of Pro V1s in your bag – unexpected, but oh so sweet!
We've got this whole shebang mapped out tighter than a pro's pre-shot routine. From tee times that'll make you drool to seats at Neyland Stadium that'll have you feeling like the King of Rocky Top himself. It's all right HERE, just a click away from turning your average golf trip into a memory more lasting than your farmer's tan.
So what are you waiting for? An engraved invitation from Peyton Manning? Grab your clubs, pack your "Go Vols!" gear, and get ready for a Tennessee two-step that'll have you doing the happy dance all the way home.

Shriners Children's Open 2024: Vegas' Wildest Golf Party!
It's time to ditch the slot machines and hit the greens (well, at least virtually) for the Shriners Children's Open 2024 at TPC Summerlin. This ain't your grandpa's golf tournament, folks – we're talking Vegas, baby!
Picture this: The desert air is crisp, the fairways are forgiving, and the only thing hotter than the Nevada sun is the action on the course. We've got more storylines than a soap opera and more drama than a Cirque du Soleil show (minus the spandex, thankfully).
The House Always Wins... Unless You're Tom Kim
First up, our main attraction: Tom "Three-Peat" Kim. This kid's so young he probably still gets carded at the casinos, but he's already matching Tiger Woods' records. Now he's gunning for a hat-trick that hasn't been seen since... well, let's just say flip phones were still cool. Can he pull it off?
But hold your horses (or your golf carts), because this field is more stacked than a Vegas buffet. We've got Adam Hadwin, last year's nearly-man, ready to go all in. Eric Cole, so consistent he makes a metronome look erratic. Rickie Fowler, hoping Lady Luck will finally smile on him again. And don't sleep on Daniel Berger – he might just be the ace up this tournament's sleeve.
TPC Summerlin: Where Par is Merely a Suggestion
Now, let's talk about TPC Summerlin. This course is easier on the eyes than the Bellagio fountains and more forgiving than a confessional booth. But don't be fooled – to win here, you've gotta go lower than a limbo champion at a luau. We're talking scores so deep they might hit the water table.
Changing Lives, One Swing at a Time
And remember, folks, this isn't just about the golf. It's about changing kids' lives faster than you can say "fore!" The Shriners Children's Open has raised more money for charity than a high-roller on a hot streak. So while you're cheering for birdies, you're also cheering for brighter futures.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your lucky golf ball, put on your loudest pants (this is Vegas, after all), and tune in for four days of desert drama. Will Tom Kim complete the three-peat? Will an underdog have their day? Will someone shoot a 59? The only way to find out is to watch!

DP World Tour Golfers Score Golden Ticket to PGA Tour: Ten lucky ducks from across the pond are trading their Euro threads for stars and stripes in 2025.

Korn Ferry Tour's To Paid Player: Matt McCarty. This hotshot raked in a cool mil in 2024, making it rain at events like the Albertsons Boise Open. Sure, he's swimming in more cash than your average Korn Ferry player, but it's still small potatoes compared to the big boys' piggy banks. Even the PGA Tour's 121st place guy, Nico Echavarria, nearly matched McCarty's haul. Now our boy's ready to play with the big fish - here's hoping he doesn't need water wings!
