A PGA Tour wedding, a football-TIGER crossover & Golf Twitter Beef

Hello friends! It’s time for another edition of the Weekend Report. I’m feeling really good this week because I’m officially on the way to becoming a Football Gal™️. I grew up “watching” the Patriots and Boston College football, but never really paid attention. Last week, I made it my goal to finally start to understand the game, and to my pleasant surprise, there has been quite some overlap between football and golf. Honestly, the whole thing reminds me of those Disney Channel crossover episodes I obsessed over as a kid! So, let’s get right into it.
Georgia golf alums celebrate the National Championship

When I think of college golf powerhouses, I think of the recent NCAA Championship winners: Stanford, Oklahoma State, etc. It’s not until photos like these appear on my social media feed that I remember the absolute DEPTH of the Georgia Bulldogs’ PGA Tour roster.
We’ve got the second and third place Sony Open finishers in this very photo, as well as Hudson Swafford, Keith Mitchell, Brian Harman and Harris English. Honorable mention to all of them for committing to golf’s official off-course uniform: khaki shorts and sneakers.
A PGA Tour wedding
Keith Mitchell got two birds with one stone on his trip to Hawaii. He got married AND played in the Sony Open. Keith married Claire Watson on the beach in Hawaii, and these are the only photos I’ve come across from the event. Between his T-7 finish at the Sony, Georgia winning the national title, and marrying the love of his life, we’re guessing it was a good week to be Keith Mitchell. Congrats to the happy couple!
Golf Twitter Drama!
A LOT happened on Twitter this week, and I’m breaking the main event into three acts to help you follow along. (Side note: if you are not on Twitter, you absolutely need to be. It’s where personalities shine, jokes are made and drama ensues.)
I. Grayson Murray and Kevin Na go at it
Kevin Na’s pace on the greens has been a point of discussion in the past, but it came up again after this photo of his playing partner Talor Gooch waiting on him at the Sony Open starting making the rounds on Twitter.
Talor Gooch might have a front row seat for a sub-60 round, but he’s not thrilled by the time it’s taking Na to putt. pic.twitter.com/9lcvHHYN0O— Barry W (@sacoomba) January 14, 2022
Next up, Grayson Murray Tweeted about it. And Na didn’t hold back in his reply.

II. The conversation continues, others get involved, Murray doubles down
The beautiful (or horrible) thing about Twitter is that anyone can chime into a conversation at just about any time. Take Ben An, for instance.
Somebody please call an ambulance for grayson here ??— Byeong Hun An (@ByeongHunAn) January 15, 2022
And then Colt Knost.
Dude…..what are you doing???? Just stop— Colt Knost (@ColtKnost) January 16, 2022
You trying hard for that PIP money early in the season— Colt Knost (@ColtKnost) January 16, 2022
Yeah, but normally the people stirring the pot are in the same kitchen as the others….?♂️— Colt Knost (@ColtKnost) January 16, 2022
haha sure he’s had a better career but doesn’t mean i’m afraid to take a jab at him for being slow.— Grayson Murray (@GraysonMurray) January 16, 2022
III. Na discusses it all on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio
Kevin Na dunked on Grayson Murray after Murray chirped at him on Twitter last week. He told Colt and Drew that his tweet impressed fellow pros like superstar and Twitter master Brooks Koepka.@kevinna915 | @BKoepka | @ColtKnost | @thesleezyman | pic.twitter.com/g27fwVpvx4— SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio (@SiriusXMPGATOUR) January 17, 2022
Here’s what Na had to say:
“I had an idea people were going to laugh, because when I tweeted it, my caddie Kenny Harms was texting me, I said, ‘Look at this idiot.’ I said, ‘Watch this,’ and I showed him, he was laughing pretty hard. It was amazing how many players and caddies came up to me and complimented me, not on my round, about my tweet. I’ve had some big boys telling me how good it was. Even Brooks messaged me. Brooks Koepka messaged me saying how good of a tweet that was.Somebody mentioned oh, is this [like] the duel you had with Bryson and Brooks? First of all, [Murray’s] not even on Tour. You have to be somebody to make this worthwhile or make money out of this match. I mean, I can barely create a buzz — barely. I’m not a major-winner. I’m just a maybe above-average player on Tour. And who’s this guy? Nobody cares. That’s the sad part.”
Yikes!
Did Deebo Samuel wear a Tiger Woods mock neck under his jersey on Sunday evening? An in-depth analysis:
The following post blew up on Twitter on Sunday evening when TWLegion grabbed a screenshot of what appeared to be a Tiger Woods mock neck under Deebo Samuel’s jersey.
?#NEW: Deebo Samuel wore red TW shirt under the jersey ? pic.twitter.com/urHaINEJLB— TWLEGION (@TWlegion) January 17, 2022
But truthfully, that grainy image wasn’t enough proof. I zoomed and zoomed on that photo and, as much as I wanted to see the TW logo, I just didn’t. I needed more proof. So I did what any social media manager would do on a Sunday night and looked on Getty Images. Still no luck. Most of Deebo’s photos from the game were face-on. But I wasn’t giving up. I took my talents to his tagged photos on Instagram. Enter River Cracraft, who I’d like to thank for tagging his teammate in the following photo. (Sidebar: It’s amazing how quickly one can go from ‘learning football’ to ‘introducing a football player named River Cracraft to an audience of golf fans.’)
Ah-ha! Finally, a clearer image. I took the liberty of zooming in here as well and went from being like, 10% convinced that it was a Tiger Woods mock neck to about 50% sure. (It’s not perfect, but hey, it’s something!)
I also learned that both Tiger and Deebo are signed with Excel Sports Management, so it wouldn’t be too much of a reach for the 49ers wide receiver to be sporting the shirt. Of course, I promise to update you all on this very pressing issue if any more information becomes available.
That’s all I’ve got for this week, folks. I’m looking forward to my sleep schedule improving at the Tour moves from Hawaii to California this week — hopefully setting the stage for more appropriately timed Twitter drama. Until next week!

Breaking 90: Real Golf Improvement Tips That Actually Work
Tired of hovering in the low 90s? You’re not alone. Here are real, proven golf improvement tips that will finally help you break 90—and do it consistently.

Why Breaking 90 Feels Like the Mount Everest of Golf
If you’ve ever wrapped up a round with an 89 on the card, you know the rush. For amateur golfers, breaking 90 isn’t just a number—it’s a rite of passage. It means your hard work is paying off, your decisions are sharper, and you’re starting to play golf instead of just swinging a club.
But here’s the thing: most golfers try to improve the wrong way. They tinker with their swing for months, chase YouTube tips at midnight, and buy the latest tech gear hoping it’ll shave strokes. Sound familiar?
As someone who spent years flirting with that 90 barrier, I’m here to tell you: you don’t need a perfect swing—you need a better strategy. Let’s get into the golf improvement tips that actually work.
Think Like a Golfer, Not a Swing Coach
Manage Expectations—Golf Isn’t About Perfect
You won’t stripe every drive or stick every wedge. So stop expecting to. Golf is a game of misses. The trick is making your bad shots better.
Start by dropping the obsession with perfection. Accept the occasional duff or slice. Focus instead on smart decisions and simple, repeatable swings.
“Golf is not a game of perfect. It’s a game of recovery.” — Dr. Bob Rotella, sports psychologist
Know Your “Go-To” Shot
If you’re trying to shape every shot like you’re on Tour, stop. Pick one reliable shot shape—fade, draw, straight—and stick to it. If your natural shot is a fade, play for it.
The moment I embraced my push-fade as a feature, not a flaw, my scores improved. I stopped fighting my swing and started playing smarter.
Play the Right Tee Box—Seriously
Too many amateurs play from tees that are way too long. You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. Move up. Hit more greens. Have more fun. And yes—lower your score.
If you’re not getting to par 4s in two, or regularly hitting 3-woods into par 3s, it’s time to drop back to reality. You’ll thank yourself later.
Course Management—The Secret Weapon
Avoid the Hero Shot
Stuck in the trees? Don’t go for the 4-iron stinger through a two-foot gap. Punch out, get back in play, and take your medicine.
Par is great. Bogey is acceptable. Doubles are killers.
Know When to Lay Up
Got 210 yards into a narrow green with water short and right? Don’t be a hero. Hit it 150 and wedge it close. Most amateurs lose shots by trying to make up for a mistake with an even riskier shot. That never works.
Your scorecard rewards consistency, not courage.
The 3 Must-Have Skills to Break 90
1. A Reliable Tee Shot
You don’t need to hit bombs, but you need to keep it in play. Ditch the driver if it’s wild. I played a 5-wood for three months and dropped 7 strokes off my average.
2. A Dependable Wedge Game
From 100 yards and in, you need a club (or two) that you trust. Learn one shot—half swing, three-quarter, whatever—and own it.
3. No 3-Putts
Three-putting kills rounds. Focus on lag putting from long range and knocking in those nervy 4-footers. Spend twice as much time on putting as you do on full swings.
Practice With Purpose, Not Hope
Don’t just hit balls at the range. Practice like you play:
- Hit different clubs in random order
- Play imaginary holes
- Make putting drills competitive
- Keep score
“Deliberate practice leads to deliberate improvement.” — Mark Blackburn, PGA Tour Coach
Track Your Stats and Find the Leaks
Use an app or simple scorecard notes to track:
- Fairways hit
- Greens in regulation
- Putts per hole
- Penalty strokes
You’ll quickly spot where you’re leaking strokes. That’s where the real work starts.
Mindset Shift—Focus on Process, Not Score
I used to obsess over my score on every hole. Now, I focus on one swing at a time. Breaking 90 isn’t about shooting a 39 on the front and holding on. It’s about stacking smart decisions, one shot at a time.
Breaking 90 isn’t about hitting perfect shots. It’s about making better decisions, avoiding big numbers, and playing within your game. These golf improvement tips aren’t magic—they’re practical, proven strategies that work for real golfers.
Try them on your next round, and don’t forget to celebrate the small wins—like finally keeping your tee shot in play on Hole 1.

The Spirit of the Links
From Scotland’s Shores to North America’s Coasts explore golf’s historic roots.

Golf, a sport steeped in tradition and history, finds its roots deeply embedded in the sandy soils of Scotland’s links courses. These courses, characterized by their coastal settings, rolling dunes, and deep bunkers, offer a golfing experience that is both challenging and steeped in the game’s ancient traditions. This article explores the quintessential links courses of Scotland, including the renowned Kingsbarns, and compares them to their counterparts in North America, highlighting the differences that define and distinguish these iconic golf landscapes.
The Essence of Scottish Links
Scottish links courses are the original venues for the game of golf, with their history tracing back over several centuries. Kingsbarns, located near St. Andrews—the acknowledged ‘Home of Golf’—is a prime example. Though it was only opened in 2000, Kingsbarns has quickly become a jewel in the crown of Scottish golf. Designed by Kyle Phillips, the course captures the true spirit of links golf with its rugged coastline, natural bunkers, and undulating fairways that challenge even the most skilled golfers.
Links courses, by definition, are built on sandy land along coastlines. In Scotland, these courses are battered by the elements, with wind playing a significant role in the game, requiring golfers to exhibit not just skill but also creativity and adaptability. The courses are typically devoid of trees, using the natural landscape such as dunes and native grasses to define their boundaries.
North American Links
While true links courses are a product of their environment, several courses in North America seek to replicate the Scottish experience. Courses like Bandon Dunes in Oregon and Cabot Links in Nova Scotia are designed to mirror the natural, rugged elegance of Scottish links. Bandon Dunes, for example, sits atop a windswept bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Its natural vegetation, dune topography, and wind conditions are reminiscent of Scotland’s storied courses.
Cabot Links, on the other hand, is Canada’s first true links course, featuring panoramic views and a layout that adheres to the natural landscape. Like its Scottish inspirations, Cabot Links utilizes fescue grasses and minimizes artificial water hazards, relying on wind and natural land forms to challenge players.
Links vs. Regular Courses
The main difference between a links course and a regular golf course lies in their interaction with the natural environment. Traditional golf courses, often referred to as “parkland courses,” are usually more manicured and contain lush, tree-lined fairways, with defined rough and strategic water hazards. They are designed to be more sheltered from the wind, offering a different type of challenge compared to the open, exposed links courses.
Links courses embrace the raw, natural state of their coastal landscapes. The ground tends to be harder and the grass shorter, which affects ball behavior, encouraging a ground game where golfers must play more along the earth, using the contours of the land to their advantage.
The allure of links golf lies in its simplicity and its challenge—the game as it was originally played, against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty. Whether in Scotland or North America, these courses provide a profound connection to the elements, offering a pure golf experience that is as mentally challenging as it is physically.

TGL, Skins, and the World Series of Golf—Oh My!
Explore golf’s thrilling new formats—from TGL’s digital arenas to high-stakes Skins and poker-inspired World Series of Golf, as Ty Webb humorously guides you through the game’s exciting evolution.

Hey there, fellow golfers, duffers, and sand-trap enthusiasts! Ty Webb here—ready to chat about a topic almost as intriguing as the mysterious forces that cause your golf balls to magnetically find water hazards. The game we love is changing faster than Judge Smails’ mood after a missed putt, and these new formats are shaking things up faster than my backswing (which, I’ll remind you, is flawless).
First up, we’ve got TGL—Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s brainchild. Imagine golf, but in a high-tech simulator arena, with live crowds and digital drama. It’s like playing a round inside a video game—minus the reset button. It’s fast, it’s futuristic, and it might just make traditionalists clutch their cardigan sweaters a little tighter. But hey, change can be good—like switching from a putter that doesn’t work to another putter that doesn’t work.
Then we’ve got the Skins Game, golf’s original “put your money where your mouth is” contest. It’s straightforward—win a hole, win some cash. Lose a hole, watch your buddy strut around like he’s just sunk a 90-footer at Augusta. The Skins format keeps the stakes high, the tension higher, and friendships on the line. It’s golf with bravado, swagger, and a bit of friendly financial risk—exactly how I like my weekends.
And finally, we have the World Series of Golf—imagine poker and golf decided to collaborate, and neither was sober at the time. Players bet on each hole, raising, folding, and bluffing their way through a round. It’s as much about strategy and psychological warfare as it is about hitting a decent tee shot. One moment you’re all-in, the next you’re questioning every life decision you’ve ever made. Classic golf, am I right?
So there you have it, friends. Golf isn’t just changing—it’s evolving, innovating, and occasionally terrifying the purists. But rest easy, because whether you’re in a virtual arena, sweating over Skins cash, or bluffing your way through the World Series of Golf, the spirit of the game remains: hit the ball, find the ball, repeat as necessary. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with destiny—and a very forgiving 9-iron.
