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.

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.

MEMPHIS — Denny McCarthy sweated out a four-under-par 66 Thursday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, and, OK, that’s not unusual amid a heat index those rose to 104 degrees at TPC Southwind—a place laden with water hazards and further soddened by copious amounts of perspiration. In...

It is not always definitive, let alone mind-bogglingly dramatic, to talk about how much golf equipment has improved over time.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday.

Bryson DeChambeau has had anyone from long drive champions to Sergio Garcia to Donald Trump on his Break 50 YouTube series, but until recently, he didn't have the most entertaining man in the history of golf. Thank goodness, Bryson got two-time major champion, country musician, and golfing legend John Daly on to make a lot of birdies, watch Long John drink a lot of booze/rip a lot of cigs, and have fun.

Damn did the episode deliver. It's a long one, clocking in at damn near an hour. If nothing else, it's cool to see Daly's trademark super-lengthy swing can still...
