TROON, Scotland — Justin Rose got slotted into the wrong side of the draw on Thursday and Friday, fought through the elements to give himself a chance, and put together a terrific weekend to finish at seven under. In a world where Xander Schauffele didn't post an absurd 65 on Sunday, he might have won the Open Championship. Instead, he finished in a tie for second, and both him and his caddie Mark Fulcher had a front-row seat for Schauffele's victory march.

Listen to the speech Padraig Harrington made at his induction to the World Golf Hall of Fame last month in North Carolina and it is obvious that what defines his life and career are relationships. His parents. His four older brothers. His wife. His sons. His caddies. His swing instructors. His long-time agent. All were paid their well-earned dues during the 52-year-old Irishman’s humorous and touching oration.

Padraig Harrington has fond memories of Carnoustie—but a few dark ones, too

Between his two U.S. Open victories, a thriving YouTube channel and, well, just everything else about him, few modern golfers are more recognizable than Bryson DeChambeau. At 30 years old, DeChambeau has already been labeled a genius, hero, villain, rogue, disruptor and now hero again. It’s a bit exhausting, but when it comes to Bryson, all news is good news.

It is not often that a junior golfer has a second chance to win a national championship, given that those who reach a final often age out of the junior ranks. But Filipino Rianne Malixi gave herself an opportunity and responded with a resounding victory in the U.S. Girls' Junior on Saturday.

Our area might be the best place in the country to retreat to an island, judging from a survey released this week. Readers of Travel + Leisure magazine rated the Golden Isles in Georgia — consisting of Jekyll Island, Little St. Simons Island, Sea Island and St. Simons Island — as the best island in the continental U.S.

One thing I see with most amateurs, especially slicers, is that they don’t know how to take the club back the correct way, a key to accuracy and solid ball-striking. Whereas the best players lift the club up using their shoulders to start the backswing, the average golfer takes the club away very low to the ground and to the inside, behind the body. As a result, they have to make all sorts of in-swing compensations to get the club and body back in position to finish the swing.

Today, when we think of the concept of a "club" as it pertains to golf, there are both positive and negative associations. The negative ones are easy to conjure—elitism, exclusivity, and perhaps even a little snobbiness. To go a little further, it's not a huge leap to associate some of the most prominent clubs in the world with racism and misogyny, including in the modern era. What's fascinating about this system, though, is that in its earliest origins, it had nothing to do with the desire to be exclusive or separate. In fact, it was all about the trophy.

In North Carolina, the divorce process can be challenging, particularly due to the mandatory one-year separation requirement. This law mandates that couples must live separately for at least a year before filing for divorce, a rule that can be frustrating for many.

What began 101 days earlier has sadly come to an end. Is it just us, or did the 2024 men’s major season fly by, with Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau and Xander Schauffele twice walking off with the hardware. There were endless storylines in their wake (did the world’s No. 1 player really get arrested on Friday of the PGA Championship?)

Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we can’t believe how much has changed in two months. Back in May, Xander Schauffele was having to answer questions about not being able to win the big one. Now after claiming a second major, the only questions left is how many will he wind up with and when is he eligible for the World Golf Hall of Fame?
