Jordan Spieth is just like us! Uses a pull cart in Australia

When Jordan Spieth checked off what he called “bucket list” rounds at Kingston Heath and Royal Melbourne, he experienced those masterpieces in all of their Australian glory: he took a trolly.

Or, as they’re known in some parts of the world, a buggy.

Translation Americans: he took a pull cart!

Call them whatever you want, but in Australia all of those macho Mad Max’s have little issue pulling a cart around when they play. Many superintendents even attribute the widespread use of trollies to contributing to the health of their greens by allowing those large wheels to run right over the putting surfaces. As I wrote three years ago in Golf Digest, this is one of the many fine attributes of Australian golf.

So many thanks to Peter Boland and Phil Duffy for sharing this shot of Spieth playing Royal Melbourne last weekend dragging his tour bag around one of the world’s most storied layouts. Spieth arrived a few days before his bid to repeat as Australian Open champion by playing two of the world’s ten best courses before heading to Sydney.

It was vintage Spieth and an act that would be discouraged if not totally outlawed at most American country clubs.

For reasons still unknown, American clubs view golf with a pull cart as some sort treasonous act. Perhaps the sight of 22-year-old tastemaker Spieth enjoying one of the world’s great courses will help shed the pull cart stigma once and for all?

In recent years several college players have been spotted using them. Stanford’s Cameron Wilson, pulled their clubs en route to winning the 2014 NCAA Individual championship. And now the golfer fresh off of a 1st-1st-4th-2nd season in the major championships has been seen with one.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
