The dreaded three-putt. We've all likely faced one as golfers and it can really be a round-wrecker. But the key to minimizing three-putts is making your first putt the best putt. You want to leave something for a second putt that's easy to put in the back of the cup, whether it's for par, birdie or even bogey.

Golf Tips: Get Better at Lag Putting With This Drill

Probably not, so jot it down in your golf memory books. It's an important term to know, and better yet, a useful one that can help improve your golf swing. When we make a golf swing, our upper and lower bodies sway back and forth, or side-to-side. But your upper and lower bodies don't sway back and forth the same amount. Sway Gap is a term coined by SportsBox AI, and that's what it measures: the difference between how much your upper and lower body sways.

It's called 'sway gap'—why golfers like you should know and care about it

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Whether it's U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau or a 25-handicapper who can't carry the ball 200 yards, you'll never hear any golfer ever say they don't want more distance. Even when you're striping it off the tee, there's still that little voice in your head wondering, can I hit it even farther?

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

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. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

It’s been nearly three decades since “Happy Gilmore” was released in theaters, but in the meantime the comedy classic has aged like a fine wine. Those who were around back then fondly remember the film—perhaps, even too fondly—and those who were born after have come to love it on streaming platforms that weren’t even conceived of back in 1996. The movie’s enduring popularity was never more apparent than it was on Tuesday when an open casting call for a long-awaited sequel caused massive gridlock in Morristown, N.J., and created a line longer than one of Happy’s mythical tee shots.
