This “Roundball Rock” trick shot is the peak of quarantine creativity

It's a simple fact that some people have adapted to quarantine life better than others. In pro golf alone, we've witnessed players improve at hobbies from baking to playing the guitar, but we've also seen the destruction of property and the worst haircut ever. It's also a simple fact that some people were better prepared for an extended period of time inside. And a TikTok star (apparently, that's a real thing) fits that bill.

Jordan Spieth’s brutal break, Brooks Koepka’s milestone birthday, and the greatest courtroom sketch ever

Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we wish cutting our hair was as easy as cutting our lawn. Not that the latter is a snap of the fingers for a bumbling homeowner like myself, but I finally took care of that for the first time this year.

Let’s just say the USGA will have a difficult time getting nearby Winged Foot’s rough to be that juicy for a September U.S. Open. And let's just hope I'm able to get an actual haircut by then. In any event, here's what else is (still) happening in the world of golf.

At approximately 1 a.m. ET, the first pitch of a new KBO season was thrown, with the NC Dinos eventually going on to defeat the Samsung Lions 4-0 in the much-anticipated season opener. It was the first actual, professional baseball to hit U.S. TV since Game 7 of the 2019 World Series, but let's be totally honest with each other: Even without your absurd commute and helicopter boss, you probably didn't stay up for it.
And that's totally OK! Some doctors even say sleep is more important for the human body than baseball. But if you did it miss it, you're not only missing out on baseball, you're missing out on a true cinematic experience—The Godfather and Rookie of the Year rolled into one captivating ball of awesome. Don't believe us? Just take a l..
