I'm at Starbucks sitting across from a father and son. They're sitting here eating cake pops at 7:42 AM and Dad goes ...

"Don't tell mom that we ate cake pops instead of pancakes."

Dads. Love 'em.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

With gas prices soaring, a war with Iran, and millions unable to afford healthcare, Trump has tackled the major crisis of our time: His administration plans to transform East Potomac Golf Links into a championship-level golf course.

Seriously!

Happy golfing, Mr. President.

[Garrett Morrison @garrett_TFE]

Municipal golf can and should exist symbiotically with other forms of public recreation. That's how East Potomac is designed. The golf course preserves a large swath of green space in the middle, and non-golfers are invited to enjoy the recreational areas along the perimeter. The different sections of the park are mutually supportive.

If the golf course subsumes everything around it, those interrelationships get broken. This is the kind of thing that gives golf a bad name and might make non-golfers everywhere wonder why public land and money should be devoted to the game.

Players need to know these numbers ...

The 2026 Solheim Cup's 39 percent drop in viewership from 2023 (Spain) raised alarm bells. (And to those who want to point to football, the 2023 Solheim was a little later in the NFL season.)

But honestly, the more I dug into it, the more concerning things got.

2022 -- average viewership on Golf Channel was 190,000 for the season.

2024 -- a year Nelly Korda won 7 times -- average Golf Channel viewership was 95,000.

2025 -- a year Nelly didn't win once -- average Golf Channel viewership was 97,000.

2026 -- Nelly dominated the first half of the season and Golf Channel ratings are up 4 percent from this time last year (average viewership of 122K).

Again, it's time for everyone involved to shift the focus from increased prize money and move it toward building an audience.

The tour just hired a new SVP of Marketing. Huge job. Will be interested to hear her strategy.

Seems like a problem

[Fried Egg Golf @fried_egg_golf]

In 1901, Joseph E. G. Ryan’s Golfers' Green Book mapped the connection between Chicago’s rail lines and golf courses.

We’ve brought that map back to life on t-shirts and a poster, showcasing the ties that make Chicago a truly great golf city.

Of all the Solheim Cup takeaways, I love this one most from @matthewgalloway on @alisonlee's MVP showing for the U.S. Team.
