Around the Clubhouse
Welcome to your place for all the light-hearted golf content you need. We will be going around the clubhouse, reacting to many of the viral golf moments of the past week. From pro golf to your horrific swing, if it makes you laugh, then it may show up. This week we look at some of the special 3M Open moments. Stay tuned for this week's player to watch. Grab your beer, and let's get into it.
Baddeley Family Flow
The Badds hair runs in the family! My word is that hair luscious. His sons may have ever better hair than their pops'. The Aussie flow is impeccable.
This is up there with Tommy Lad and Cam Smith as some of the best hair in golf at the moment.
This is what it's all about... you can see the smiles on all the kids' faces. Pure joy for their dad and making family memories forever!
Tony Finau has some competition for golf dad of the year!
PGA Strange Swing
Daniel Gale, a Monday qualifier at the 3M Open, has one of the most strange swings you will see in pro golf... Sir Charles is that you?
The backswing looks so uncomfortable, but at the same time, the second half of the swing is so pure. I can't comprehend how he can get such a smooth swing out of the standing-up motion at the start, but he makes it work.
Gotta swing your swing! If it works, it works. The yellow bucket hat and stache on Danny Boy too, goodness gracious. What a beauty.
Can we get some love for the work Chuck put in to change his swing... Now it's pure as hell!
Vik Living Life
Vik is loving his week off in Norway... look how genuinely happy he is in this pic! There are comments saying if golden retrievers were a person and I think they're spot on.
The dog chillin' out on the cart with him, too, just perfectly sets the vibe of Vik. He has to be so much fun to hang with.
Hardy Obliterates club
This is something all of us weekend golfers have tried before, but I am gonna go out on a limb and say none of us have put it within 10 ft off a tree stump.
That had to shatter his wrist, going full swing into a tree! The reaction says it all too... sniping with a bend 9-iron. I wish he had to use the warped club on the next hole, now that would've been interesting.
Rage golfer
Well, you had a 6-iron 30 seconds ago and now you don't... who is at fault there Kevin?
Watching a grown man rage golfing is absolutely spectacular. The poor caddies had to be MISERABLE that entire round.
Hambone1.0 was spot on with the outfit comment as well- my guy looks like he is playing a quick nine before his shift at Best Buy.
Chicken Wing Swing
Once again... swing your swing brotha! I would have bet my life savings that he was gonna whiff but the chicken wing special worked like a charm.
Smooth swing with some excellent rotation. Happy Gilmore would be proud.
Golfer to Root for this week
Jon Mayer
PGA Section Player of the Year Jon (Not John) Mayer is my young golfer to root for at the Wyndham Championship. The 25-year-old New Englander came away with the 2023 PGA Stroke Play Championship this year and has been rolling as of late.
Who knew John Mayer could golf?
Jon knows the area well, and I think has a legit chance to make a splash or two in North Carolina.
