Play the 15th hole at Hilton Head National with me.

What better way to spend a Plaid-urday than with Sir Willie at the RBC Heritage?

Why Harbour Town Is My Favorite Golf Course It's a subtle design that leaves a big impact.

Harbour Town is a reflection of its place. It’s a relaxing walk (but demanding test of golf) through stately oaks and Spanish moss. It’s also a place where Pete Dye tested his early design ideas. The finish and Lighthouse Blonde Ales don’t hurt either.

Forget the LIV drama, what’s worse is I seem to have misplaced my Sir Willie plaid socks and how am I supposed to represent #plaidnation at the Heritage under these conditions?

What big-brain chess move is Phil on now?

We’re trading our green for plaid. It’s Heritage week!

Never a doubt it was gonna be Rory.

I don’t think Rory is ever gonna chip again. Texas wedge for life.

That wasn’t the trip through Amen Corner that Rose needed.

They say the Masters doesn’t really start until the back nine on Sunday, but this year it started when Rory hit it in the water on 11 on Saturday.

Team Rose. Solo leader at the Masters.

Team Rose!?

Do we have a “if Rory goes out in 29” situation today?

Pairings to watch besides the last four today at #TheMasters

9:28: Rahm/Garcia
10:12: Hovland/Thomas
12:35: Hatton/Fleetwood
12:46: Koepka/Clark

Things are happening!

Well, a walk disguised as golf does sum up my round pretty well today, Whoop.

Double double. Animal style.

Fun groups in the third round:

12:16: Ludvig & Scottie
1:11: Knapp & Schauffele
1:33: Gotterup & Koepka

The last five of six leaders who have led by at least five after 36 holes at the Masters have won. Rory leads by six.

There’s no reason for Rory to not win a million of these.

The question is would you rather this or Danny Willet birdieing the last four to win?

The Week We All Watch Together In a changing and fractured world, the Masters is one shared, timeless, comforting experience.

There has been a lot of changes in the professional golf landscape lately.

The Masters remains a place of comfort, renewal, and timeless.

That’s why we all love it.

Cheers to all the courses with their own beers on this National Beer Day and every day.

The Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio doesn’t look fun to begin with and then add in these conditions and I think I’d be in the clubhouse bar with a Shiner Bock.

My good game is still in the tomb.

The Augusta National Women's Amateur doesn't begin until the back nine on Saturday.

It was, though, a good Friday.

Got an emergency nine in this afternoon. Arrived at the course and realized my bag didn’t have a towel or a range finder. Barely had a sleeve of balls. Safe to say we have some kinks to work out still. Early season miscues!

How Are The Course Rating and Slope of a Course Calculated? I Followed a Rating Team to Find Out. Turns out, it's mainly science and math, but also part art.

Course rating and slope are two determining factors your handicap. These aren’t random; there’s a trove of volunteers who use standardized procedures to calculate these ratings. I followed a course rating team to see this work in action.
