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:

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.'”
