If you watch enough TV commercials, Instagram memes and YouTube influencers, you probably have heard a few things about “moment of inertia” and how the latest drivers are breaking new barriers in stability on off-center hits (that’s what moment of inertia, or MOI, means, by the way).

Today's high-MOI drivers are more forgiving, but that's not really why they're better

Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said he will consider more DUI patrols if voters legalize recreational marijuana use in Florida. Voters will consider Amendment 3 in November. It would allow adults 21 or older to possess, purchase or use marijuana products and marijuana accessories for non-medical purposes.

They're shaped like a potato and tend to bake in hot weather, biologists say. That's why you will find cheeky little pikas in Colorado's mountains. But climate change could cause these critters' numbers to dwindle, according to wildlife experts. Like polar bears, Pikas may predict warmer temperatures, scientists say.

You’ll never guess this historical fact about Brae Burn Country Club, host of the U.S. Women’s Mid-Am that began on Saturday. Nestled within the town of West Newton, among residential streets, a hospital and a preschool, is one of the best golf courses in Massachusetts. Dating back to 1897, the club has a rich history of hosting big tournaments and crowning renowned winners, including Walter Hagen’s U.S. Open win in 1919 and Bobby Jones’ U.S. Amateur victory in 1928. But of all the historical factoids that you could list about Brae Burn C.C., one is especially unexpected: Donald Ross is buried in a cemetery just down the road from the club.

The slam dunk in golf is a rare sight, but every once in awhile, the stars, golf gods—and physics—align perfectly for a golf ball to drop into the cup on the fly. Yes, Michael Block, we're talking about you. Of course, we've also seen golf balls bounce out...

A member of Golf Twitter's Mount Rushmore appears to be hanging it up for good. That is, of course, if you believe a man who runs a parody account—a legendary one, mind you—is being truthful when he writes to his following of over 300,000 on Twitter/X that he's "decided to pursue a career outside of golf." If he's being serious, this is a sad, sad day in golf:

The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

There's a lot of trust involved in golf. Your instincts often make you think you have to do the exact opposite of what you're actually supposed to do to execute a shot. Slicers, for example, sometimes try to swing more to the left to keep their ball from going to the right. Actually, they should swing more to the right to reduce or eliminate that banana curve. You get the idea.

In the sand, getting out is No. 1, then comes controlling distance. Here's how
