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.

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.

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.
