One thing I love about Americans-you can be minding your own business, hit a hole-in-one, and suddenly a whole boat crowd of strangers is acting like you just won the Masters.
They don't know your name, your score, or how many balls you lost getting there, but they're cheering, hollering, and celebrating like they've known you since Little League.
Only in America can a perfect shot turn a bunch of strangers into your loudest fan club for about 30 seconds... and honestly, that's pretty great. ⛳️

Listen to 15-year-old Tommy Morrissey’s self-talk as he makes his championship debut.
This is 100-year-old Bob. He still plays 18 holes of golf, works out every day, and even carries his own bag because he says it helps him keep his strength.

Many golfers who come over the top have transition backwards. They feel like the downswing starts with rotation, so they spin open from the top, throwing the club out and over the plane. Hello, slice.
The fix isn’t no rotation. It’s better sequence. Starting the downswing with a lateral move toward the target not only shifts pressure into the lead side, it helps shallow the club.
Now rotation becomes an asset. With the club shallow, a player can rotate as aggressively as they want and the path stays on plane. The lateral shift earns the right to turn hard.
This is one of the ways we teach coaches to use force plate data in our advanced seminars. When we see an over-the-top pattern and lateral force is low or late, we start cues from the ground up.

🚨🇯🇵 𝗡𝗘𝗪: This is how Japan left their dressing room behind.
In Japan it’s tradition to clean everything all the time no matter where you are, for them it means mindfulness, organization, and respect.
Imagine boarding a flight from Japan to Texas for the World Cup. Your team grinds out a 2-2 thriller. Then, while everyone else heads for the exits, you and thousands of fellow supporters grab trash bags and leave the 80,000-seat stadium cleaner than you found it.
No prompts. No cameras chasing clout. Just quiet, undeniable respect.
That’s the Japanese fans. 🙏🏻🇯🇵
Paul Skenes was driving down Perry Highway in Wexford just past seven o’clock Monday night when the Pirates superstar pitcher made a pit stop. It was a Little League field.
Skenes signed autographs for over two hours, connecting with Pittsburgh's next generation.

My thoughts on “zero torque” putters
What’s the tech? Positives and negatives. Who does it benefit? Most importantly, should you get one?
I obviously like the tech as I’ve been using a ZT style putter for 3yrs now but as always, there’s two sides to this.

Keanu Reeves has been through more pain than most of us could imagine.
Abandoned by his father at age 3. Battled severe dyslexia as a child. Lost his stillborn daughter Ava. Lost his partner Jennifer Syme in a car accident just over a year later. Watched his best friend River Phoenix die of an overdose. Spent years caring for his sister Kim through a decade-long battle with leukemia.
Yet he chooses to live modestly — riding the New York subway, walking the streets, sitting with strangers. He runs a private foundation supporting children’s hospitals and cancer research, without attaching his name to it.
In a world that celebrates flash and ego, Keanu quietly chooses kindness and humility every single day.
That’s the kind of man worth admiring. True class.
Keanu Reeves arrived at the party celebrating the end of filming for his new movie in New York, but he spent the first twenty minutes standing outside the venue in the rain. No one had recognized him, and he waited quietly — without complaining, without asking for special treatment. The club owner later said:
“I didn’t even know Keanu was out there waiting in the rain — he never said a word to anyone.”
Keanu often rides public transportation, speaks naturally with homeless people, and never hesitates to help them. He is 56 years old, yet his simplicity remains unchanged: he can sit on a park bench eating a hot dog among ordinary people without ever acting as though he were different.
After filming one of the The Matrix movies, he gave each stuntman a brand-new motorcycle to thank them for their courage and skill. He also gave up a significant portion of his salary so costume designers and special effects artists could be paid what they deserved, recognizing the value of their often invisible work. And while filming The Devil's Advocate, he agreed to reduce his own paycheck so that Al Pacino could join the cast.
Life, however, did not spare him from pain. During those same years, he lost his best friend, his partner lost their child, and shortly afterward she died in a car accident, while his sister was diagnosed with leukemia.
Keanu did not allow himself to be broken by tragedy. He donated five million dollars to the clinic treating his sister, put his career aside to stay close to her, and created a leukemia foundation to which he donates part of the earnings from every film he makes.
A man may be born male, but remaining truly human — with dignity, compassion, and humility — is something entirely different.
Perhaps that is what makes Keanu Reeves so special: his greatness is not only found in his films, but in the way he chooses to live every day, with kindness and respect for everyone around him.
And maybe the true strength of a hero is measured precisely when nobody is watching.
Keanu Reeves quietly gave away tens of millions from his Matrix sequel earnings to the special effects and costume teams who brought the films to life.
The actor, already a star after the first film, was in line for massive backend profits on "Reloaded" and "Revolutions".
Instead of keeping every dollar, he redirected a significant portion of his points so the crew could be better compensated, believing they were the real heroes behind the groundbreaking visuals.
He never publicized the move or sought credit. A crew member eventually leaked the story years later, revealing the scale of his generosity.
The films grossed over $1.2 billion combined, cementing Keanu as both an action icon and one of Hollywood’s most decent figures.
We took a step ahead this spring, but we are nowhere near where we need to be. I can’t thank the fans enough for the support this year. We will dig in all summer and do everything we possibly can to take the next step. We will grind until we get there.
Congrats to the @nyknicks, and best of luck in the Finals.
At 100 years old, WWII veteran Bernie Smoot still drives his convertible Ford Mustang to play golf five days a week, shoots in the low 80s and shares wisdom from 74 years in the game: “You live to play golf. But to reach my age, you play golf to live.”
To celebrate Bernie — who landed at Omaha Beach just months after graduating high school — his PGA Coach and friend Jeff Maynor organized a tournament in his honor at the University of Maryland Golf Course, where Bernie plays five days a week.
Maynor, the course’s PGA Director of Golf, has run a @PGAHOPE program there for Veterans since 2019, which Bernie loves to support. The tournament for Bernie was a chance for those Veterans to thank him and celebrate his love for the game.
