They say bunkers are intended to be a half-stroke penalty to your score. Sometimes you get lucky and save par; sometimes you don't. That said, not all bunker lies are the half-stroke variety. You might hit a high wedge into a green that plops down into the sand like it landed in Jello-O pudding.

Rules of Golf Review: My ball plugged in the sand. Can I take an unplayable and drop outside the bunker?

Making match play at the U.S. Amateur is no easy task. The field starts with 312 players and has to be whittled down to 64—eliminating almost 80 percent of those who qualified after just two days. A bad stretch during the two rounds of stroke-play qualifying makes the challenge that much more difficult, as some of the top-ranked amateurs in the game learned over the last two days during opening play at Hazeltine National and Chaska Town Course in Minnesota.

The PGA Tour has a lot on its plates these days with the emergence of the LIV Tour, players departing for said tour, and the seemingly never-ending negotiations with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) over a potential deal between the two organizations. The last thing the tour and Commissioner Jay Monahan need is for one of its crown jewels to come under scrutiny on the eve of the event. I'm talking about the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

John Daly and Bryson DeChambeau’s eagerly anticipated ‘Break 50’ episode is officially in the books. As the latest guest on golf’s version of ‘Hot Ones,’ Daly put on a show, hitting barefoot bombs and downing his signature Good Boy cocktails like pitchers of ice-cold lemonade on a hot summer day. That last detail is particularly notable not for the quantity Daly consumed—upwards of 20 by his count—but by how he stored them, in the, ahem, coolest golf-course cooler you have ever or will ever see. Take it away, king.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

John Daly, you may have witnessed over his 37-year pro career, takes his club well past parallel on the backswing. The unconventional move is among, let’s say, his many eccentricities. So, too, it seems, is its origin story. “I never had short clubs,” Daly explained. “I took my dad’s...
