Careful: This Club Is Destined To Make You Unhappy
We don't play a lot of golf — it's honestly been about five years since we played — so we don't own our set of clubs. If we needed to buy some, though, we probably would not want this club in our set. Too much history....
"How's Tiger Doing?"
It is not, inherently, in the sports fan's nature to root for the dominant favorite. We love underdogs, the scrappy upstart coming from nowhere and upsetting the proverbial applecart; it's our own sad, tiny way of imagining that, sometimes, sports can speak truth to power....
Sergio Garcia's Mind, It Likes To Wander
Have we picked on Sergio Garcia enough this weekend? Indeed we have, but just as you can never have enough bacon, you can never try hard enough to destroy the psyche of an athlete whose sport is 90 percent mental. But maybe we don't need to do any of the work. The Sports Elitists recounts a Sergio ...
Sergio Garcia Struggles With Remedial Math
The Deadspin Comment Threadjackal System really works, because without it, I may have missed a goldmine unfold before our eyes. The world's foremost hard-luck PGA golfer, Sergio Garcia, was disqualilfied from the PGA Championship for signing his third round scorecard with an incorrect score. But he'...
Everyone's favorite volatile, chubby golfer isn't exactly atop the leaderboard, meaning he can't treat himself to whiskey and poker. Yet he hasn't totally collapsed, meaning he can't drown his sorrows in whiskey and poker. He's just sort of inhabiting this mellow, scary middle ground. I like my John...
John Daly, Still Puffing Along
We don't have much hope for John Daly to make some crazy run to win the PGA Championship, but for one day, he continued to give hope to fat guys who smoke and drink 15 Diet Cokes a day everywhere....
How To Make Golf More Fun
If you know anything about me, then you know that I have traditionally refused to do posts about streakers ... unless there is a humorous slogan written above their butt. This is a pretty good one (we also would have accepted "Captain's Choice"), and he also earns points for covering his genitals wi...

Make These Women Carry Your Stuff
The woman in this photo is Lucy Dardiner, one of the specialty caddies from England's Eye Candy Caddies. The concept is what you think it is: Attractive people, carrying your clubs and, we dunno, feeding you grapes or something....
You Don't Want Tiger Pitching Your Product
Remember that old Tiger Woods Caddyshack commercial for American Express? It was one of Tiger's most likable moments; even Tiger can be funny when he's channeling Bill Murray....

Via Sports By Brooks, we discover that Golf.com is featuring a regular column by an anonymous current Tour pro. Because he's anonymous, he's not mincing many words....
Sergi...NO! (Do You See What I Did There?)
Holy shit. My boy Paddy Harrington did everything he could to hand Sergio Garcia his first Major Championship. He even hit a ball into the burn on the last hole...twice! When Garcia stepped on to the 18th tee he knew he needed par to take home the (Maurice) Claret Jug. You just had to know he'd find...
Sergio Garcia Retains Lead At Carnoustie; Enjoys a Michelob
The last time The Open Championship strolled through Carnoustie Sergio Garcia looked like a an overwhelmed high school player who struggled to break 90 both days. Eight years later he's back in Scotland and he's just one round away from becoming this year's wire-to-wire champion. There's no question...
For Those With Too Much Expendable Income
