There's nowhere else I can air this without sabotaging the rest of my day, so: The amount of cosplaying, posturing, fantasizing, and bloviating about exclusive private golf club "culture" on The Everything App by anonymous accounts is stunning. It's a whole thing. Who believes this stuff?

Early in the Great Depression, the city of Salem funded the construction of municipal golf course as a form of unemployment relief. Today, Olde Salem Greens is one of my favorite nines in the country. And it could be even better. Full course profile here:

The WNBA season is the perfect length. I'm sure capitalism will eventually force it to expand, but five months and 40-something games plus playoffs is 👌. If only the NBA (not to mention the PGA Tour) could get to that size.

I love trying to come up with new angles on Augusta National every April. This year, Josh Pettit helped me view the course through the lens of what Alister MacKenzie was generally up to in the 1930s. He was experimenting with some pretty wild ideas.

Golf isn't cool, you say? Well, 49-year-old Tiger Woods, his body and mind hanging on by a single gossamer thread, just announced that he's engaged to (or maybe just boning?) the president's former daughter-in-law via a work of Dadaist poetry.

Some guidance regarding Phil Mickelson: it becomes easier to understand him when you realize that he just says and does whatever he thinks will make him richer / less in debt at that particular moment. There's really not much else to him.
