PGA Tour pro executes baby gender reveal in most PGA Tour pro way possible
First things first, Brandon Hagy should be applauded for keeping things relatively simple—and more importantly, safe—for his baby gender reveal. The 28-year-old PGA Tour pro stuck to the ol' exploding golf ball to announce what he and his wife, Jay, are expecting. But he also hit the shot in the most PGA Tour pro way possible.

That's because the long-hitting Hagy also took a long time over the ball before hitting the actual shot. Watch as he goes through his normal pre-shot routine, lining up his feet just right and giving a full waggle before finally pulling the trigger:

We especially love the waggle, as if Hagy really needed to reinforce a proper backswing on a shot that wasn't going anywhere. Hey, old habits die hard.

Poor Jason Terry is trending on Twitter because LeBron James posterized him 7 years ago
Former NBA Sixth Man of the Year Jason Terry was trending on Twitter on Wednesday morning, but before you start thinking the worst, know that he's safe and sound from the Coronavirus. However, that has not kept him immune from having the low moment of his otherwise superb 19-year NBA career trotted out again (and again) for all to see on its anniversary.

Seven years ago, LeBron James nearly ended Terry's career early with a vicious alley-oop dunk at the Boston Garden. In case you don't remember the play, here it is in its full glory, followed by Terry talking about a posterization people won't stop talking about:

“The worst thing about this is every time I'm in arenas or at the grocery store, little kids coming up to me, 'Hey, hey, aren't you Jason Terry?' 'Yeah, yeah, that's me,'” Terry said. “'Th..

Brooks Koepka does not give a damn about your canceled golf tournament
Aside from a few mini tour events, every golf tournament known to man has been postponed or canceled due to the coronavirus. It's left many well-known tour pros with a lot of free time, and it's being used in a variety of ways. Brooks Koepka is using the time to snipe fools on Twitter, which is something we could all get very used to.
In a now-deleted tweet, Jesse Polk, who we assume is a fine young man, expressed his anger over the USGA's announcement of the cancellation of the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball and the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball, which were set to take place in late April and late May, respectively. Polk was supposed to play in the event, so he tweeted that he was upset and for some reason called on a number of tour pros to speak up about it, tagging them in the tweet. Unfortunately for him, Koepka responded:

Sorry, Jesse, but if you thought Brooks was going to be a shoulder to cry on, you were sorely..
How golf clubs are adjusting (and readjusting) to find a role amid coronavirus crisis
An inside look at the ways golf clubs are adapting to the swirling events around them.
Erik van Rooyen is spending his Corona quarantine rocking the heck out
The world is on lockdown. Toilet paper has become currency and canned soup both sustenance and a weapon. Wildlife is returning to the Venice Canals and the streets have become grassy edens where fawns prance and butterflies flit as humanity toils in darkness. But out of the eerie silence, a lone hero has emerged, leading humanity back up from the depths with his righteous riffs. His name?
Erik van Rooyen.

We've seen Erik van Halen's chops before, tackling the sweet, vocal phrasing of George Harrison, but this time, perhaps inspired by society's collective angst, he's opted for slightly more aggressive fare in the Foo Fighters' “No Way Back.” Upon further inspection, maybe this isn't the hope-inspiring battle cry we initially thought it was, but to each their own.

This LEGO replica of Augusta National’s 12th hole is one of the great engineering feats of our time
Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, golf fans are unsure of when they'll see the real 12th hole at Augusta National again. In the meantime, this remarkable LEGO recreation of the famed par 3 will have to do.
Lou Stagner, a self-professed “golf nut” and “data nerd” who happens to be a great follow on Twitter (Golf Stat Pro) shared the following video of the plastic creation he and his daughter built—and the results are spectacular. See for yourself:

“We saw a replica of Augusta clubhouse made from Lego and she said 'let's build a golf hole and sell it,'” Stagner said of 9-year-old Abby. “The 'business' idea quickly turned into a 'let's sell this and donate all the money to charity idea.'”
