I asked my producers not to make any clips from the dad grief portion but enough people reached out about this part I changed my mind.
Jim Nantz on what Arnold Palmer told him about his dad is one of the most impactful things I’ve ever heard. A lot of people need to hear this.
March Madness won’t be the same without Sister Jean. Thinking about the Loyola University Chicago community and everyone who loved this remarkable woman. https://t.co/9O09E9zdMA
College football teams as golfers:
Georgia: Scheffler. The best, not even an argument. But also so methodical about it, it bores us rather than excites us.
Notre Dame: Rory. You aren’t really a fan as much as you form a para-social relationship with them where you invest too much of yourself into cheering for them.
USC: Min Woo Lee. All sizzle, no steak.
Michigan: Bryson. Winning isn’t enough. Gotta think you are smarter and better than the competition too. Confused why no one likes you.
Penn St: Fleetwood. All the pieces are there, but when it matters, ALWAYS comes up short. Deep down the fans have accepted it.
Miami: Collin Morikawa. Fantastic history. Fallen off hard but refuses to admit they’re now a second rate team.
Oregon: Aberg. On paper everything is in place to be elite. But there’s something missing we can’t put a finger on.
Ohio St: Brooks Koepka. Elite history, one of the greats. Yet still is constantly wracked by bouts of insecurity they’ll never shake
Iowa: Denny McCarthy. Solid all around, great fundamentals. But a hard ceiling they will never ever break and will never join the top tier.
Alabama: JT. Reached the top in the most smug way possible. Rest of world will enjoy the hell out of them falling off their perch.
Texas: Cam Young. Finally reached potential. But their fans will still insist they were elite all along.
Clemson: Patrick Cantlay. Shadow of their former selves. But through smoke and mirrors of scheduling, fans still insist they belong among the elite.
