Swanson addresses DJ’s “Guessing his yardages” video
Warning: Swanson, the author of this story, does not exist… except in his writing. His character is completely imagined, but that doesn’t mean his opinions aren’t real.
So everyone and their grandma has been coming out of the woodwork emailing me this video of Dustin Johnson “guessing his yardages” on Trackman. They’re saying things like “you can do better than this, Swanson” and “he’s got nothing on you, Swanson.” My fans are begging me* to make a video proving that I’m better at guessing my yardages than him.
Editor’s note: We asked for screenshots of these requests, but Swanson said he needed to protect the confidentiality of his fans.
In this story, I’m not gonna do what everyone thinks I’m gonna do and flip out. I’m not going to call out Dustin Johnson, the 2016 U.S. Open champion. The truth is, he’s better than me. I mean, not at golf. That showing of knowledge of his yardages was atrocious with his irons. Seriously, 5 yards off with a wedge?? Have fun missing the green from 105, bud.
I’m saying he’s better than me because he actually hit shots off grass that looked like my neighbor’s lawn who wasn’t done yardwork for months. What was that stuff, anyway? Carl Spackler Bent? A hybrid between Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent and Northern California Sensimilla? Even DJ complained about getting flyer lies, and I buy his excuse. You see in the video that once he put a ball on the tee, he was able to guess his yardage on the nose.
So I guess the difference between me and him is that I would have walked off the course if someone requested I hit from that “grass.” Kudos to him for putting a smile on his face for the camera.
So hats off, Dustin. And let me know when you’re in my area for a money game.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons
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
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.
What happens when 4 #PGATOUR pros take a day off?
Luckily, the cameras were rolling.
Watch @shanelowrygolf, @graysonmurray, @smyliekaufman10, and @samrydersu in #SrixonVS. pic.twitter.com/C4LJwQgmZ7— Srixon (@SrixonGolf) June 25, 2018
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.

You know it’s misleading when he claims to have fans. If my attempt at humor was this embarrassing, I would also hide behind a fake moniker.

I’m one of the fans begging for a Swanson video – but his would include spin rate and launch angle. Blindfolded.

You think this so called ‘scribe’ has a comedic bone in his body? I guess you’d also think the Bataan Death March was part of the Rose Parade.
