How To Hit Ball Then Turf

Quick Recap: Charles Schwab Challenge

Unfortunately, celebrations were marred by tragedy for the 2nd week in a row on Tour.

We’ll try to make space to acknowledge both today, with some thoughts on Grayson Murray below in the “letter from the editor” section.

For now, I’ll make a little space to give Davis Riley his flowers.

I’m not sure what’s more impressive, keeping your composure and holding off the world’s number one golfer, or beating him by five strokes.

Either way, Davis Riley, despite being a major pre-tourney longshot at +30000, found a way to nab his first career solo victory.

He also won that awesome, custom-built, Chevy Stingray. 

With Rithmm

New Feature: Live Odds & Predictions

With Rithmm's live odds, your outright finisher predictions will update throughout the round.

This allows for you to be even more strategic with how you use Rithmm's ai-backed predictions. 

Here's how Live Odds + Predictions works: Let's say your favorite golfer has a really bad few holes, but you think they'll right the ship and get back on track. A bad few holes would cause a golfer's odds of finishing as the outright Winner, Top 5, Top 10, and Top 20 all to worsen, which is an opportunity for you to get major value at your sportsbook.

Now, you can pull down to Refresh Rithmm's predictions throughout the round, so you can see that golfers updated odds in real-time and change the way you watch the action.

Create custom Golf betting models, get ai-backed picks for outright Winners, Top 5, Top 10, and Top 20 Finishers, and use Rithmm's AI Caddie to live bet every hole for every golfer and change the way you watch the Schwab.

If you're betting on the Charles Schwab Challenge, you NEED to be using Rithmm. Custom betting models, AI Caddie, and data-backed predictions for the entire tournament.

⛳️ What Happens When Pro’s Use A Persimmon Driver? The modern 460cc driver is here to stay but with a golf ball rollback materializing in the coming years, it’s fair to wonder what would happen if the ball stayed the same but golfers were forced to play a smaller driver profile. Or, in this case, a throwback persimmon wood. Read.

A Letter From The Editor

This weekend, Grayson Murray tragically took his own life.

He battled alcoholism, addiction, and depression. He was open about it.

These are topics I know well. I’m also a recovering alcoholic.

It runs in the family on both sides.

My mother has been sober for over 15 years. My paternal grandfather passed away with over 25 years of continuous sobriety. We all went to the same rehab.

My mom likes to joke “Some families have Harvard, we’ve got The Caron Foundation”.

Through the grace of a power greater than myself and the kindness of strangers, friends, and family - I haven’t had a drink since February 12th, 2011.

Chances are, you know someone just like me and just like Grayson Murray.

Every one of us has an alcoholic in the family or in the extended friend group.

Many alcoholics and drug addicts suffer from mental health issues as well.

Maybe that person is you.

Here’s the point: If you, or someone you know, is struggling with addiction and mental health issues - I am happy to help. For fun and for free. I was taught that if you want to keep something, you’ve gotta give it away, so please feel comfortable reaching out.

If you’re reading this, know that there are solutions out there.

You can email me any time: [email protected] or reach out to me on Twitter as well.

I sit on the board of The Caron Foundation. They have multiple locations across the country. They have open beds. They do great work and they work with a variety of insurance providers.

In the meantime, check in on your friends and loved ones. You never know how impactful a text or call can be.

Thing We’d Buy: Malbon Pefromance

Lot’s of hate has been thrown Malbon’s way this year.

God forbid someone like Jason Day dress a little different than the normal mid-level accountant attire we see on tour.

Anyway, they just dropped their most technical collection yet, and some of it’s pretty cool.

Shop Malbon.

That’s all folks! See you Wednesday.
