What you need to know: When PXG introduced its original 0311 iron line it took more than three years before its next introduction. Since that time, the cadence for new irons has been almost annual. For 2024 that means the introduction not only of its 0311 GEN7 irons, but a new Black Ops iron as well. The GEN7 irons (P and XP models) utilize a new proprietary internal polymer that boosts ball speed, while the Black Ops is a hollow-body, dual-cavity design with a larger profile designed to instill confidence for the game-improvement audience.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

However, experts say the real story is corporate mismanagement, intense competition, and a lack of innovation.

The cliché “swing your swing” might get tiring, but it’s based on the sound belief that everyone's unique physiology is going to lead them to swing slightly differently. That unique physiology often means physical limitations, especially for older golfers who can still play but struggle to make the moves they once did.

It’s one of the most common physical limitations—but there’s a way to swing with it

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.

One Walmart shopper is issuing a warning against buying meat at the massive retail chain—but the reason why isn’t strictly tied to Walmart. It seems that customers at stores such as Walmart believe it's acceptable to grab perishable items, such as meat or dairy, and then place them on any available shelf if they decide they no longer want them.

Lifelong friends Andy Griffith and Don Knotts were quite a team on The Andy Griffith Show, which originally aired on CBS from 1960 to 1968. In 1965, Knotts left the series (to make big-screen movies), which later transitioned into Mayberry RFD, with Ken Berry taking over the lead from Griffith.

Standing over her third shot on the par-4 15th on Friday, Slovakian Ladies European Tour pro Pia Babnik was just outside of the podium places. Her tee shot had just found the water, but at one-under on her round following a scintillating 66 on Thursday, Babnik just needed to salvage bogey to keep herself in the mix heading into Saturday’s decisive finale. Instead, she shanked one so far out to sea it might have landed in the Mediterranean.
