Good Afternoon. We have finally finished our new website.

I wrote about how we started this newsletter, made a bunch of mistakes, and through a series of happy accidents have managed to turn it into a real business.

Just like in golf, sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.

How We Started Caddyshanks

Note: The new site is a work in progress, but feedback is welcome. Our goal is to continue to deliver golf news, humor, deals, and bets the way we always have.

We are also in the process of building a Golf Trip database, which will make it easier to research, plan, and book your next trip.

If Justin Rose is willing to give out some free advice, we will take it.

⛳ Billy Ho: How To Add Spin To Your Chips

Today, the R&A announced that The Open championship would return to Royal Lytham and St. Annes in 2028, so let’s revisit the most famous shot from the course.

Remember last week when we said Matt Fitzpatrick has serious stones?

Yeah – he doubled down.

This time, with his brother’s PGA Tour future hanging in the balance.

What Happened?

The Fitzpatricks blew a four-shot lead on the back nine. It looked like the tournament was slipping. Then, like we’ve seen before, Matt stepped up when it mattered most.

Final hole. Same script.

Last week it was a four-iron. This week, a wedge – and somehow, it might’ve been even better.

A 35-yard bunker shot, under max pressure, that he clipped clean and spun to tap-in range. 

His brother Alex got to be the one to do the tapping – knocking it in to seal the victory.

They finished at a tournament-record 31-under.

And for Alex, it’s career-changing stuff – a two-year exemption on Tour, plus tee times locked in at the 2027 PGA Championship, The 2027 Players Championship, and the remaining signature events this season, including the Cadillac Championship and Truist Championship.

What About Everybody Else?

Behind them, the teams of Alex Smalley / Hayden Springer and Kristoffer Reitan / Kris Ventura finished one back (-30) in a tie for second.

But this one wasn’t about the leaderboard.

It was about two brothers helping each other turn a dream into reality.

What’s Next?

This week, the PGA TOUR heads to Miami for the Cadillac Championship at Trump Doral.

A return to the top, a wild idea in the equipment space, a scheduling decision that stirred the pot, a look at where a major is headed, and a player trying to rewrite his story. This is where the game is right now.

→ Nelly Korda Wins Chevron Championship to Reclaim World No. 1
Nelly Korda is back where she belongs – and she didn’t sneak up on anyone getting there. This win wasn’t just another trophy, it was a statement that the consistency, the adjustments, and the dominance we’ve been watching are very real. Reaching No. 1 again feels less like a comeback and more like a correction.

→ Can a Golf Ball ‘Private Club’ Work? Inside the Underground
Golf Magazine’s Johnny Wunder caught up with the minds behind the movement: Hollywood icon and certified stick Mark Wahlberg, industry veteran Garry Singer and retail titan/philanthropist Doug Meijer. They aren’t just trying to sell you a golf ball; they’re trying to change the way you think about what’s in your bag…and how you get it.

→ ‘Bad sport’: Rory McIlroy’s Decision to Skip Cadillac Championship Leads to Mixed Reactions
Rory McIlroy made a call, and not everyone is happy about it. Skipping events always comes with opinions, but this one hit a nerve. Some see it as a smart scheduling move, others as a lack of commitment. Either way, it shows how nothing can happen in professional golf without it turning into a debate.

The roadmap for one of golf’s biggest events is starting to take shape. Future venues give a glimpse into how the PGA Championship wants to position itself – a mix of classic tests and modern setups that can challenge the best players in the world. It’s not just about where they’re playing, but what kind of golf they want to showcase.

→ Sam Burns Is Ready for Redemption at the U.S. Open
Sam Burns knows how quickly things can turn at a major. This is about getting another shot, learning from what didn’t go right, and stepping back into the spotlight with something to prove. The U.S. Open doesn’t hand anything out, which makes a redemption story like this one worth watching.
