The week got off to a hopeful start with some fun happenings in the golf social media world. The lockdown boredom has transformed our community into wizard content creators, and I must say, even the mundane is becoming entertaining.

Pat Perez is honoring MJ in a proper way…

I have met Pat a couple of times and he is as nitty-gritty in person as he is in the media. I love this guy, and not only did he give the nod to my favorite pair of Jordans, but he also gave the nod to my old favorite California Cabernet…when I was still imbibing of course. #thelastdance

Going with what all started for me with @jumpman23. The cement 4’s which @playerstribune did a story about my first pair. These will always be my number one

Now this is a good post…..

Who would win this Battle Royale? I pick Colin and Rory but that Wolff/BK duo looks like they actually belong in a WCW Battle Royale…

Golf DaVinci Code…

Is this Seve’s Open Championship golf ball? Do you believe? Do the clues lead us to the truth? I like to live in a world where this is the ball. Life’s more entertaining when I eliminate speculation and just decide things are what I want them to be—like the Loch Ness Monster. Nessy is real and resides in Florida now with his cats, per my opinion. BTW the Scottish Golf Museum IG is epic.

Came across this golf ball in a box this morning, and with it a mystery probably never to be solved, but thought I'd share it. Nick de Paul caddied for Seve Ballesteros for several years. I had heard through a friend of Nick's that he still had a very special golf ball. When Seve won The Open at St Andrews in 1984 (remember that fist pump!) Nick picked the winning ball out of the hole. And he kept it. If you find the video online you'll Seve walk away from the hole after the putt, and Nick putting the flagstick back in. He knew what it was but he had never written anything down about it. My friend told him he should. Sadly Nick passed away on December 31 2018. And a few months later some of his Estate was put up for public auction in Philadelphia. It wasn't catalogued well but in one of the photos there was a golf ball. With the exact same markings Seve used. There was no sign of any other ball in any of the photos. So I bid on that lot. And won. However I later learnt there was another lot that hadn't been shown. A glove and a ball with a letter from Nick saying this was the winning glove and ball from the 84 Open. I'm still trying to authenticate details about that other lot. But the mystery for me is why Nick kept the ball that I have. Why keep 2 of Seve's golf balls? Okay if the other one was The Open winning ball of course you would! So what is the significance of the ball I have? Thinking it was very important for Nick to have kept it. Thinking I will never know, but nice to speculate! Nick also won The Masters with Seve and caddied for him in Ryder Cups.

Brandel has a way of making a bunch of sense…like all the time.

BC was back on Twitter again stoking the “how we judge greatness debate.” In this episode, he was sticking up for Greg Norman who “only” won two majors but spent 6+ years at #1. Do major wins really matter as much as we want them to? Regardless, TW still owns the planet, whether you care about that number or not. LOL.

McDonalds DC is pretty damn good…..

I mean it’s not FDA approved, but JD does make a strong point. Not for Coronavirus, but for wellness in general, there is something to unpack here.

For the hot SM gossip, DM @johnny_wunder

Testing Lorem Ipsum

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
