Excited to share my new speaking demo reel. What began as a life‑altering moment became a chance to connect, bring humor to hard conversations, and remind people that resilience and joy are choices. If you’re planning an event, I’d be honored to be part of it. https://t.co/CJttD4Y4TQ

If you find yourself defending a child molester, saying: “WE can’t be judged by OUR worst day”, you probably need to have your hard drives checked. https://t.co/JYvSApplIU

@teachandtruck Way too fast. I’m doing my best to soak it all in because I know that these are the good ol days.

Yesterday we celebrated Chloe turning 7 with two parties. A friends party, with a balloon artist, bounce house, slip ’n slide, and games. Wrapped the day with family. A full, well‑deserved day of fun for our little princess. Thanks to everyone who made it special for her.

@kd66bug It’s going by way too fast.

Was hoping for a playoff so I could watch a playoff, but a walk-off birdie putt to win The Open is an awesome way to end it.

Kyle’s post is well stated. My “garbage” comment was about consistency. If this is a penalty for Bryson, then half the Tour should have been penalized for it during the season.

[Kyle Porter @KylePorterNS]

What's extremely interesting to me is this part of the R&A's statement about a "potential advantage."

I'm guessing Bryson was arguing that he didn't gain an advantage with where he stepped and where his backswing went. This is more or less what Smylie reenacted on Live From (can't believe I'm typing that sentence). He didn't seem to think the fescue being up or down made a huge effect on a facsimile of the swing Bryson made.

But the R&A noted that even a "potential advantage" gets docked. That's the same language used in Rule 1 in the actual rules of golf.

Related to this is the phrase, "the area of intended swing includes the entire area that might reasonably affect any part of the backswing, the downswing or the completion of the swing for the intended stroke."

This is ambiguous and somewhat arbitrary but based on that wording, OK, I guess I understand the penalty.

The broader point is that if this is going to be enforced on Bryson here, there should be a *lot* more penalties called throughout the year in the world of professional golf.

Great way to handle it. Blow off some steam, smile, then play another great round tomorrow.

[Fore Play @ForePlayPod]

Bryson is beating balls on the range and offering media members beef sticks and almonds.

You just cannot make it up.

[John Kriesel @johnkriesel]

…but this just gets a warning.

[Golf Channel @GolfChannel]

Jon Rahm threw his club in frustration after hitting an errant tee shot on 15 😳

[John Kriesel @johnkriesel]

Garbage.

[Golf Digest @GolfDigest]

Bryson DeChambeau has been penalized two strokes for improving his lie on the fifth hole during the second round of the Open Championship. 🤯

He's now three shots back of the lead.

[John Kriesel @johnkriesel]
