Do you like to immerse yourself in golf? Now you can do it even when relaxing at home. And you don't even have to wear clothes! But you do have to wear the golf ball-themed onesie pictured at left. It's the Classic Zooop Fleece Golf onesie from a company called Zooop It Up! They are makers of "luxury adult onesies." The product page on the Zooop It Up! website suggests "Wear anywhere: beach, dancing, poker games ..." But hey, why not wear it to a golf course that doesn't have a dress code! Or at least wear it on your couch as you watch golf on TV. The Zooop Golf Onesie is 80-percent cotton/20-percent polyester; it is hooded and footless; it has two front pouch pockets and two zippered pockets. And it's fleece. "This ZOOOP iT UP Classic ZOOOP onesie unisex fit is perfect for him or her. Your search for the Ultimate Comfy Wear ends now. Once you've put on your ZOOOP you'll never want to part from it!" So says the company. An

Fun History Note about Patrick Reed

Patrick Reed has three wins in 51 starts on the PGA Tour. But none of those starts have come in a major championship. Reed won't make his debut in a major until the 2014 Masters. Is there anything unusual about that - about having so many wins before you've played in a major? Yes. Quoting a PGA Tour email: Patrick Reed is believed to be the first player with three PGA TOUR wins before his first major championship appearance since Sam Snead won three times (1936 West Virginia Close Pro, 1937 Oakland Open, 1937 Bing Crosby Pro-Am) prior making his major debut at the 1937 Masters. Reed has played in 51 TOUR events entering this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard but has yet to compete in a major.

These are just a couple kids at the driving range one night, and they manage to pull off a fantastic trick shot. And it only takes 8 seconds: "Oh my gosh, that was cool," one of them says. And he's right!

Would You Eat a Divot for $500? Two Idiots on 'Wahlburgers' Did

Have you seen the A&E show Wahlburgers ? It's a "reality" TV show following the Wahlberg family - which, of course, includes Donnie Wahlberg and Mark Wahlberg - as they expand their burger restaurant beyond Boston. It airs on A&E. In a recent episode Mark took a bunch of his pals to the golf course. That scene began ominously with Donnie telling viewers that Mark likes to pay people to eat disgusting stuff. Sure enough, on the golf course Mark begins collecting large, thick divots. After the round, he offers two of his golfing companions $500 if they eat one of those divots. Actually, it's a race - he who eats the divot, and finishes first, wins Mark's $500. So these poor schmoes plop their divots between two buns (one of them adds Dijon mustard) and dig in. Here is the setup: And here they are actually chowing down their "divot burgers": Disgusting. Would you eat a divot for $500? I wouldn't. I guess these two guys were either

10 Great Golf Etiquette Tips from the TPC Network

I think all golf etiquette boils down to this: Don't be a jerk. Whatever seems rude, obnoxious, inconsiderate on the golf course - whether in relation to other golfers or in relation to your effect on the golf course itself - should be avoided. Keep that in mind, and your golf etiquette is unlikely to be questioned. There are plenty of circumstances that are specific to the game of golf, though, with which newbies might not be familiar. So the TPC Network recently surveyed its head pros for good golf etiquette tips. You could do far worse in summarizing golf etiquette than in quoting the resulting Top 10 list: 1. “Play from the tee box where you'll have the best chance for success. Don't be shy or embarrassed. Playing the ‘tips’ when your ability level isn't suited for them will be frustrating not only to you, but to those around you as well.” – Rob Nader, TPC San Antonio 2. “There is no need to rush shots – efficient play consists of getting ready to hit every
