This video of a PGA Tour caddie cleaning up his dog’s vomit is funnier than it sounds
If you're one of those people who gets an urge to throw up at the sight of seeing other people get the urge to throw up, you might want to look away now. If you can handle seeing such a thing, though, you're in for a treat.

PGA Tour caddie Brent Henley posted a funny video of him cleaning up his dog's vomit. Well, funny to those watching, in particular his older brother, Kip, another looper on tour. To the younger Henley, it was downright torture.
Brent tweeted “since I do not have children I've never changed a diaper or cleaned up vomit.” The barf novice also tried Googling “dog vomit picker uppers” to no avail before bravely attempting the job himself. Here's how it went:

Poor guy. And here's how Kip, a father and grandfather, responded:

Korn Ferry Tour’s Chris Naegel will receive use of a BMW after all, for his ace on Sunday
Steve DykesChris Naegel will receive a BMW for his use for two years after all. (Photo by Steve Dykes/Getty Images)On Monday, we told you the story of Korn Ferry Tour player Chris Naegel, who aced the par-3 12th hole in the shadow of a shiny new BMW SUV during the final round of the WinCo Foods Portland Open presented by KraftHeinz, only to find out later that the beautiful new ride wasn’t actually the prize for making a hole-in-one. It was merely on display as part of a sponsorship from the automaker.
Naegel was rightfully confused, tweeting, in part, that he wasn’t sure why a car would be parked behind the tee box on a par 3 if it wasn’t a hole-in-one prize. In a second tweet, he added, “Buy drinks and I don’t get the car that placed on the tee. What’s going on!? Who puts a car on a par 3 tee and then doesn’t give it away???”
Good news, Chris!

New Jersey man sinks 50-foot putt to win $10,000, goes understandably nuts
Just 50 feet for $10,000.
As part of the 17th Annual Nose Tackle Classic—a golf outing at the Glen Ridge Country Club in New Jersey with the money going toward the Anthony P. Marotti Memorial Scholarship Foundation—Anthony Carnevale found himself with one shot to earn quite a bit of cash.
The 29-year-old from Oradell had been putting well all-day on Monday. To get to the $10,000 shot, Carnevale needed to make a 10-footer, a 15-footer and then be the closest to the hole on a 35-footer out of the six golfers who had made the previous two putts. Carnevale had been having a good day on the greens, including a 30-foot birdie putt in the scramble on the fourth hole, a par 3, but he never expected to hit the crucial putt on the Glen Ridge putting green.
“I'm just like, don't embarrass yourself,” thought Carnevale while holding Titleist's Scotty Cameron Select Newport 2 putter.
“People are starting to gather around,” Carnevale said. “I kind of look at a spot and I just hoped tha..
Tigers outfielders collide, ball bounces off them and over fence, further proof they are MLB’s real worst team
We've done quite a bit of crapping on the Baltimore Orioles in the past week, and rightfully so. The organization has reached a different level of depressing, a level that's included an absolute shellacking at the hands of the New York Yankees, their star player trying to fight the manager in the dugout and their outfielders getting hit in the head with the ball while attempting to make diving catches. “Sad” might be too kind of a word to describe Baltimore's season.
And yet, the O's are not the worst team in the MLB, not by a long shot. That designation belongs to the Detroit Tigers, who, at a horrific 35-81, are two full games worse than Baltimore, though they have the same amount of losses. Let's be honest, they both stink, but the Tigers outfield outdid the Orioles outfield on Tuesday night with the new most embarrassing play of the year in the MLB (Baltimore held the crown for almost three full months).
In the top of the ninth, with the Tigers in full “let..
Chicago Cubs railroaded by the most wonderfully terrible strike call of the MLB season
Over the past few years, the wide world of baseball has been blessed with some truly amazingly terrible strike calls. Calls so bad that the very fabric of America's Pastime begins to frays. Calls so bad that baseball Twitter collapses in on itself like a dying star. Calls so bad that we can't help but watch them again and again and again. Enter professional MLB home plate umpire Marty Foster, who delivered one of the worst strike three calls in the history of organized baseball on Monday night, sending Tony Kemp to the showers in the away ninth of a two-run ballgame with this big, fat matzo ball.
