An ugly caddie rumor, a clean PGA Tour rookie, Ho-sung’s big break, and LOCKS* for all four majors (*Predictions)

Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we’re realizing, sadly, that booking a buddies golf trip gets more difficult as you get older. There are anniversaries, kids, and now even graduations of said kids to consider in the planning. Still, I was excited to reveal that Pinehurst had won the coveted bid for this year’s HGGA Championship, which has moved to August to replace the PGA Championship on the golf calendar. And then our gang found out that Pinehurst had already accepted another bid — to host the U.S. Kids World Championship.
FacebookPinterestNever have I been less of a fan of growing the game. Kidding. Sort of. Anyway, I’m sure we’ll figure it out, even if it means changing venues (Overlooked destinations/resorts, this is your chance to host a major!). In the meantime, here’s what else has us talking.

Aaron Rodgers wants to play with Ho-sung Choi in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Join the club, Aaron

Mike EhrmannOn Monday, when news broke that Ho-sung Choi would be making his PGA Tour debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, golf Twitter understandably went up in flames. Ho-sungMania (Ho-sungSanity? Ho-sungFever? Ho-sungMadness?) is very real, and while we're still three events away, one of them potentially including Tiger Woods (!), golf fans are counting the days until he helicopter-follow-throughs his opening tee shot at Pebble. The people want Ho-sung and they want him now, and you can count Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers among them.

Rodgers, who is by design as tight-lipped as they come both on social media and with the media, sent out his first tweet in over a month on Tuesday morning. Thankfully, it wasn't one of those god-awful new State Farm ads with his increasingly annoying “agent” that he's tweeted out most recently. No, this w..

Given the ol’ three-wood-or-wife ultimatum, Henrik Stenson picks the three wood

Ross KinnairdWe're not sure what sort of real-life scenario would require you to pick between your lawfully wedded wife and trusty three wood. We're not sure why you would ask a professional golfer that question at a press conference nor how we would respond if we were said professional golfer. But at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship on Monday, Henrik Stenson didn't bat an eye when faced with this thorny ultimatum:
The three wood, of course.

Now Henrik is a noted Funny Guy™, so when the angry voicemail from his wife comes through on Tuesday morning, he can probably wink-and-nudge this down to a weekend on the couch. But still, this seems like a pretty risky move for the traditionally steady operator. There a lot of three woods in the sea, Henrik. Wives, especially those able to laugh off jokes about inanimate objects mattering more than they do, are considerably harder to come by.
That said, this is pretty tame compared to CT Pan, who thanked his ..

Steven Adams is the perfect new spokesperson for the Oklahoma Beef Council

Rocky WidnerSteven Adams is a light in a dark place. On the court, the Kiwi big man is an integral part of a surprising Oklahoma City Thunder team making a run at the Western Conference, but off it is where he truly shines, dropping one web-friendly gem after the next—such as his approach to trade rumors and the time he admitted he didn't pen his own autobiography because he can barely even read, let alone write. Needless to say, in an NBA culture that spends three hours ironing and moisturizing just to walk down a dimly lit arena tunnel, Adams' meat and potatoes approach, if you'll excuse the pun, is a breath of fresh air.
All of which is why Steven Adams is a perfect fit as the new face of Mercedes Prada Hennessy Oklahoma Beef Council. Check out his moving testimonial below:
