Today in questionable golf attire: Tiger Woods’ sleeveless T-shirt and gym shorts

Lost in all the breathless reaction to Tiger Woods' announcement that he was cleared to practice his short game was his outfit of choice in the accompanying video. Granted, none of this is entirely new to Woods. We've seen him in sleeveless Ts at the gym, and posing with random fans, and we've recently seen him in even less formal attire when diving for lobsters (plus, there was . . . actually, never mind).

But this was different. This was Woods in a muscle T and Oakland Raiders shorts on some semblance of a golf course (more on that in a second). And one can't help but wonder if Woods' massive style influence, which once spawned a mock turtleneck golf-shirt phase, might inspire a new straight-from-the-bench-press motif at your local club.

Slattery in front as weather suspends Czech Masters

VYSOKY UJEZD, Czech Republic – Lee Slattery overcame heavy rain and cold to shoot a 7-under 65 Friday and take the lead in the second round of the Czech Masters before play was suspended because of tough weather conditions.
As the others were dropping shots, Slattery ignored the elements and built a lead.
The Englishman opened the back nine with a couple of birdies and added three more starting on No. 13. With another three birdies and a bogey, he finished his round at 7 under.
''It's got to be up there, if not the best round (in my career),'' said Slattery, a two-time European Tour winner.
''The only green I missed today was the eighth hole and I hit a great chip to 5 feet and missed it, and had a three on the first for a par,'' he said. ''So overall, it was a flawless round of golf, 14 fairways and 17 greens because I missed that one green, in this weather it was pretty incredible.''
Dylan Frittelli was one stroke ..

If these are actually Maury Povich’s golf clubs, they’re amazing

We can't confirm the golf clubs in the photo below actually belong to Maury Povich, but if they do, they're amazing. Our friends at Barstool Sports shared a picture from a private Instagram account of someone who claimed to have caddied for the longtime TV personality and posted this funny photo:

Absolutely perfect. We've seen some great customized stampings on wedges, but “YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER” might take the cake. Of course, the saying is in reference to the many paternity-test results that have been revealed on Povich's Maury Show throughout the years.
We can confirm Povich is a golfer — and a very good one at that. Golf Digest's list of Hollywood's Top 100 Golfers once had him as a 1 handicap.
But he's clearly at an even higher level when it comes to customizing wedges. Either that, or someone else has a really odd sense of humor.

No matter how this week's Dell Technologies Championship plays out, Bubba Watson has already had a great week in Boston. On Thursday, the two-time Masters champ showed off a different type of long-ball skills at Fenway Park's fabled Green Monster:

He also spray-painted home plate at the home of the Red Sox. (Side note: We had no clue they spray-painted home plate in MLB ballparks.)

But Bubba's dream sports day wasn't done. Watson then went to the New England Patriots' final pre-season game against the New York Giants. The lefty had a chat with Patriots head coach Bill Belichick:
