⛳ How To Generate More Clubhead Speed

Nestled in West Florida just north of Tampa, Cabot Citrus Farms is Florida’s bold new golf masterpiece, a 1,200-acre sanctuary on the Nature Coast (about an hour north of Tampa), reimagined from the former World Woods into a world-class resort with rugged sandy terrain, dramatic 80-foot elevation changes, towering sand pines, palmetto undergrowth, and century-old moss-draped oaks.

It’s a great week to be a golf fan.

The LPGA is at Riviera for the Women’s U.S. Open, and the TOUR is headed to Jack’s place, Muirfield Village, where Scottie Scheffler will look to three-peat.

He would be the first golfer since Tiger to do so at Muirfield, and the first since Steve Stricker at the John Deere Classic to win 3 TOUR events in a row.

The reason why he’s won at Muirfield twice in a row is because the course places a ton of emphasis on approach play, and there is no better player in the world over the last few years in that category than Scottie Scheffler.

Muirfield also penalizes missed fairways more than any other course on TOUR.

Not because it’s narrow, but because the rough is thick, which makes approach shots into the small, firm greens particularly difficult.

This course was designed by the ultimate ball-striker, Jack Nicklaus, so we will be looking to target elite iron players this week.

Who’s In The Field?

Scottie Scheffler leads a loaded field this week. It’s a signature event, and pretty much all of the top players on TOUR will be there, including 9 of the top 10.

Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland are the two biggest names who are OUT this week.

Si Woo Kim (+2200 BetMGM)

In his last eight starts at The Memorial, Si Woo Kim has GAINED with the putter six times! Probably Kim's best career putting course, he is on an incredible heater T2G in 2026. Ranked third on the PGA TOUR, Si Woo is gaining an average of 1. 5 strokes per round over 53 measured rounds this year. Only Scottie Scheffler and Matt Fitzpatrick have been better. Fresh off gaining eight strokes with his flatstick at the CJ Cup, Kim can more than contend on a course that has been very good to him throughout his career. 

Ben Griffin (+3900 DraftKings)

We all saw Ben Griffin come close to defending his title at the Charles Schwab. Walking the practice tee at Muirfield Village, Griffin looks really good. Ben is a player perfectly suited for Jack's place. Well-rounded T2G and an excellent putter on super smooth surfaces, Griffin finished runner-up to Scottie Scheffler last year. Gaining more than 11 strokes on the field at The Memorial in 2025, this is a perfect example of form colliding with a confidence-producing venue.

Scottie Scheffler (+310 Draftkings)

The “bet Scottie every week no matter what” strategy hasn’t worked out well so far this year, but he could turn that around easily this week.

Justin Thomas (+40000 Draftkings)

We tried our hand with betting JT last week and it didn’t work out for us, but he’s finding his form again and the win is going to come. Muirfield Village tends to let the cream rise to the top, we like JT to be hanging around come Sunday.

Sepp Straka (+6000 Draftkings)

Sepp has back-to-back Top 5’s at The Memorial, and the number on him this week is too good to resist, considering he’s in good form and has proven he can contend here.

We're not here to tell you whether your kid should have a phone. That's your call. Every family is different.

But here's the conversation nobody warns you about: it's not "should they have one?" It's "what happens after they do?"

Because once that device is in their hands, you're not just managing screen time. You're dealing with the open internet, group chats, and rabbit holes that didn't exist when we were figuring out how to record over VHS tapes.

Over 7.3 million kids are covered by it, which tells you something.

Bark monitors content across apps and platforms and alerts you when something actually needs your attention. No reading every text. No micromanaging. Just a heads up when it matters.

Not ready for a full smartphone yet? The Bark Phone and Bark Watch let kids call and text the people you approve, without handing them a portal to the entire internet.

You set the rules. Bark helps you hold them.
