Fun day caddying on the Old Course with @FifeAmbassador & his golfers. Loved the classic Ping 2 Iron, and the golfer could hit it ...Fore!

Trump is the same as he’s always been. All that’s changed is that his failures are so atrociously obvious that the right can no longer pretend they don’t exist.

The record crowd for a NCAA Tourney campus game belongs, of course, to Mississippi State. 14,385 for game-one of the Notre Dame super regional. Will that standard be re-set this weekend, yay or nay?

Who is the best player playing right now that you would confidently bet money on will end their career with zero majors?

Mississippi State, tonight, officially took over the whole entire Top 25 NCAA on-campus attendance record games.

@thwacknicklaus A Green Thwack-et … nice ring to it

The Masters but everyone has to hit persimmon. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

USGS report A new report by the US Geological Survey reveals that the United States has grown more reliant on foreign imports of minerals over the past year, highlighting the increased urgency to bolster its domestic supply chains. In its annual mineral commodities summary, the USGS found that the country was 100% import reliant last year for 16 out of the 90 non-fuel commodities that it tracked. In addition, the US relied more than one-half of its apparent consumption for 54 of the minerals, the report showed. In comparison, the 2024 data showed 100% import reliance for 15 commodities and more than one-half import reliant for 46 minerals, the USGS said. (Mining .com and USGS)

@latestinspace Need to stay “a-breast” of the situation

NEWS 🚨: This weekend, Ontario will be one of the coldest places ON EARTH, with temps as low as -50°C (-58°F)

@TheGhostofhogan Goes to show that asking “what did you hit” is almost irrelevant now.

Not new info but still amazes me the massive shift in lofts in irons over the last 30 years. Below is some info on one manufacture I picked to do comparison on: 1995 Callaway's flagship irons were the Big Bertha irons which featured a 7-iron loft of 33°. This was typical for game-improvement irons of that era—relatively traditional (not yet "jacked" for extreme distance marketing), but already somewhat stronger than classic blade lofts from earlier decades (which often hovered around 35°–37° or higher for a 7-iron). - Game-improvement / distance-oriented models (e.g., Paradym Ai Smoke standard, Elyte series, Big Bertha): Typically **27°–29°** for the 7-iron. - Paradym Ai Smoke (2024/2025 model, still current): **28°**. - Elyte / Elyte X (newer 2025 releases): Around **28°–29°** in most configurations. - This reflects the industry-wide "strong lofting" trend for added distance claims, often 4°–6° stronger than 1990s equivalents. - **Players' / mid-handicap models** (e.g., Apex Ai200, Apex Pro, Apex CB): Usually **30°–34°**. - Apex series (e.g., Ai200/Ai300): Often **30°–31°** or so. - True blades like Apex MB: Closer to **34°** - Overall, modern Callaway game-improvement 7-irons average around **28°** in flagship distance models, while more traditional players' irons stay in the low-to-mid 30s. Key Comparison - **1995 Callaway 7-iron** (Big Bertha): **33°** → - **2025 Callaway 7-iron** (e.g., Paradym Ai Smoke or Elyte): **28°** (common in popular models) → 5° stronger loft translates to roughly 1–1.5 clubs more distance on average, with tech like AI faces, tungsten weighting, and variable face thickness helping maintain forgiveness and launch despite the lower loft. This 5° shift is part of the broader industry evolution since the mid-1990s/early 2000s, where manufacturers strengthened lofts to market "longer" clubs—though actual performance gains come more from tech advances than loft alone.

@thwacknicklaus I may have a problem, Doc…

@BrenenThompson_ @HailStateFB Thank you, Brenen for choosing State. Your walkoff catch against Arizona St was my two kids first game… field storming and all. You’ve created memories for a lifetime.
