A thread of things that had to happen in the last 30-45 minutes for GB&I to win the Walker Cup.

Rory McIlroy says the way he beat his first-tee nerves was to picture the ball in the trees and walk the worst case all the way to its end.

"I say this all the time. It's counterintuitive to a lot of people to do this, but I do. If you're trying to overcome anxiety or nerves or on performance, I do try to think about, well, what's the worst that could happen?"

"I'm not gonna die on the golf course, thankfully."

"I used to have, like, first tee nerves, like, big time. I would struggle on the first tee. And so I would say to myself, well, what's the worst that could happen?"

"So if you hit it in the trees, okay, then what do you do? You go up there and you figure it out, you know, you're skillful enough to hit a punch shot out of the trees and, you know, get it up to the green and get it up and down and make a par and move on."

"For whatever reason, imagining, like, the worst-case scenario, give me a level of comfort, because I felt like any worst-case scenario that I could bring up in my head, I'll be able to deal with."

"Especially on the first tee for me... if you get nervous on the golf course, you get tight... it gives me a sense of freedom. And like, if I can swing free, that's when I play my best golf."

"So whatever thought process I need to get into to get there, whether that's imagining the worst-case scenario."

"I think I'm not standing behind a tee shot and visualizing myself hit a bad shot. Like, I'm visualizing myself hitting it where I want to. But I think just even before I get to that point, thinking, well, what's the worst that can happen?"

"And then if the worst that can happen isn't that bad, it's like, well, that's okay. You'll be able to manage it."

What I find wild is that he never once tries to calm himself down. He walks into the scary version instead, all the way through the punch shot and the par, and the nerves lose their grip because nothing is unknown anymore. The thing you are dreading shrinks the same way once its worst version has an ending you have already seen.

Delta is quietly hoping you never learn how SkyMiles actually works.

I did.

There's a free companion ticket, a same-day upgrade trick, and a status-match path sitting inside the same SkyMiles account most flyers use for nothing but checking their balance.

One guy sent a single request before boarding. Delta upgraded him to first class. For free.

Most flyers book, fly, land, and never touch the 8 things buried behind the login screen.

Here's the full playbook 🧵

[Flushing It @flushingitgolf]

Tommy Fleetwood says he got an “unbelievable tip” from Butch Harmon. This is a brilliant tip for amateurs too and it helps you rotate in posture. Give it a try and it’ll add control and speed to your swing 👍

This is a great story yet also unfortunate - stole from LI

Today we celebrate USA Men’s Hockey bringing home GOLD. 🥇🇺🇸

As the highlight reels roll and the motivational clips start circulating, many of them using scenes from Miracle, I can’t help but think about one man in particular.

Michael Mantenuto played Jack O’Callahan in Miracle, the story of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team.

But that role was only one chapter of his life.

After Hollywood, Mike answered a different calling. He earned his Green Beret and served in the U.S. Army Special Forces. He later built a wildly successful youth hockey program at Fort Bragg, pouring into the next generation the same grit and love for the game that defined him.

He also became an early voice exploring alternative healing modalities for veterans, long before the broader veteran-care world began embracing innovative approaches to TBI, PTS, and recovery.

Mike and I went through Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS) together.

Two Mikes. Same initials. Grew up about 45 minutes from each other. That was enough to spark a friendship while we were “embracing the suck” together. We crossed paths again and again throughout the Special Forces Qualification Course until we both graduated.

On April 24, 2017, Mike lost his battle with his demons.

We miss you, brother.

This gold medal would have meant the world to you. I know you’d be fired up watching these young men represent the flag with pride. I’d like to believe you’re watching from somewhere on the other side.

RIP, Mike.
