Michael Jordan, fed up with slow play, might build his own course

Published

on

What does a guy with a billion dollars and six NBA championship rings do when he gets impatient at a golf course? He builds his own, obviously.

You think Michael Jordan — a guy who wears a hoop earrings and punches teammates in the face during practice — has time to wait around and watch you play golf? He doesn’t. He has high-stakes gambling and soul-crushing trash talking to do.

It doesn’t matter who he’s playing with, or whether he’s playing Bear Club, one of the most exclusive and expensive golf clubs in Florida.

“He will not even wait,” a source close to Jordan told golf.com. “He’ll drive up to the green as you’re back in the fairway hitting.”

The same source said he’s eyeing land nearby the Hobe Sound, just South of Medalist Golf Club, to build his own golf club. Three hours will be the maximum for a round, and he’s allowed to play through any group he wants.

“He’s going to keep it small, probably fewer than a hundred,” the source said. “Fellow athletes, buddies, and other people who come highly recommended.”

Fast players with big wallets are surely at the top of his invite list.

Hey Mike, isn’t building a golf course kind of expensive?

He played on the Hawaii Pacific University Men's Golf team and earned a Masters degree in Communications. He also played college golf at Rutgers University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.

    I am right there with him. I hate slow play and there is no reason for it. You can bet Keegan Bradley will be a member at Jordan’s new track. They are good friends but how? How can Jordan handle him moving back and forth behind the ball before he addresses it and swings?

    Ah yes, the dreaded slow play. I play way better the less I think about a shot. I don’t know why so many people take 3-4 practice swings before they top their ball into a pond.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.

For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • btyh: “Holy offset.”
  • Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
  • bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing

Published

on

As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.

Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.

Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.
