- 50th Biennial Walker Cup
Good Afternoon. On golf Twitter, you see a lot of posts like this one. Where some anonymous account is telling you what’s cool to wear, how many logos are acceptable, etc.
They are all lame - ignore them. Wear what you want & play fast.
Chipping Vs Pitching
Detailed breakdowns of setup, execution, and achieving clean contact for both techniques are provided, along with practical tips for balancing speed and accuracy in your shots.

The Walker Cup: Amateur Golf’s Ryder Cup
Think Ryder Cup, but swap out the Tour pros and TV millions for college kids and future stars still grinding it out. That’s the Walker Cup.
Every two years, the best amateurs from the U.S. square off against the best from Great Britain & Ireland.
The tradition goes back to 1922, courtesy of George Herbert Walker (yep, the grandfather of President George H.W. Bush) and the kids play at some awesome venues - this year it’s at Cypress Point.
Format: Two Days, 26 Points
There are 26 points on the board, and you need 13½ to win (13 keeps the Cup if you’re defending).
Teams: 10 players + 1 captain (non-playing).
Day 1 (Saturday):
Morning = 4 foursomes (alternate shot).
Afternoon = 8 singles matches.
Day 2 (Sunday):
Morning = 4 foursomes.
Afternoon = 10 singles to finish it off.
Each match = 1 point. All square after 18? Halved - split the point.
Why It Matters
This is where legends start. Tiger Woods. Rory McIlroy. Jordan Spieth. Justin Rose. They all walked this path before turning pro.
It’s golf in its rawest form - no contracts, no paydays, just country vs. country and bragging rights that last a lifetime.

This Fall, Prove It to Yourself (and Your Kids)
We partnered up with our friends over at Dad Day for this one.
Think of them as Caddyshanks—but for dads.
They’re challenging their crew to sign up for a race this fall.
Could be a first 5k, a turkey trot 10k, or even a full marathon. Why? Because the older we get, the more it matters to take care of ourselves. Being around for our kids, setting an example, and actually having the stamina to walk 18 without gassing out—it all stacks up.
That’s where Runna comes in.
It connects right to your watch, builds a plan based on your goals, and literally tells you what pace, mileage, and workouts to hit.
No guesswork—just structure that works. Runna’s giving our readers a free 2-week trial with code DADDAY. If you’ve been waiting for a nudge, here’s your sign.

Thing We’d Buy: Game Day Fits
It’s officially football season and Peter Millar has some great game day fits.
All the biggest schools are represented so you can rep your alma mater on the course or in the clubhouse.
The only question is… when are they going to start doing NFL teams?
