Bored PGA Tour caddie checks in with his boss who isn’t playing due to wife’s pregnancy, remains bored

The majority of golfers on the PGA Tour are starting their work year at this week's Sony Open. But at least one player didn't make the trip to Hawaii to be with his pregnant wife. And it seems like the situation has left his caddie longing for the Aloha State.

Austin Cook and his wife Crys are expecting a daughter in the near future, which has put Austin's PGA Tour season on hold. And on Friday, Cook's caddie, Kip Henley, decided to check in with his boss on Twitter:

To which Cook replied to his stir-crazy looper:

The cookie emojis, of course, refer to Cook's nickname, “Cookie.” Which has been passed on to Baby Cookie or Baby Cookie Dough:

How cute.
But all this “cookin” has led to an extended break for Cook—and a lot of extra downtime for He..

Sean Avery picking fights with people who park in the bike lane in NYC is PEAK Sean Avery

Scott LevySean Avery's 10-year stint in the NHL will be remembered for a lot of things, almost all of them involving him pissing someone off in some way. When he wasn't getting in the head of the greatest goalie in NHL history, he was calling out other players in the league for falling in love with his “sloppy seconds.” He was hated by many, loved by few and respected by even fewer. That being said, he was the type of player you loved when he was on your team. The last of a dying breed.
Nearly seven years into retirement, it appears Avery has not changed a lick. Even when he's not on the ice, he's still picking fights and chirping everyone and anyone who wrongs him. Case in point, his Instagram stories of him confronting people who park in the bike lane in New York City. Avery, who clearly gets around Manhattan on a bike, posts one of these almost every day, and they are all equally hilarious. Warning: there is profanity. This is a former Hall-of-Fame instigator in ..

High school basketball team uses “stall offense” to win 20-16, gets predictably roasted on Twitter

Boone high school's boys basketball team pulled off a shocking upset on Thursday night in Orlando, Fla., defeating the defending state champion Oak Ridge Pioneers, a team that was beating its opponents by an average of 30.1 points this season. But what should have been a celebration for the now 8-6 Boone Braves has instead turned into a heated debate on Twitter over the strategy Boone employed defeat Oak Ridge.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Boone used what's called the “stall offense,” opting to hold the ball as long as possible during their offensive possession rather than try to score. This is a tactic that has been used by many teams at the high school level around the country, because, unlike both college and the NBA, they play without a shot clock. The Braves used this to their advantage on Thursday night, sitting on the ball throughout the first half and heading in..

Costco may have finally gone too far with this 27-pound(!) bucket of mac & cheese

Costco's bulk buys are the stuff of legend. I still haven't finished a giant bag of chocolate chips from 2015, and believe me, I've tried. But the wholesale king has outdone itself this time. Introducing the 27-pound(!) bucket of Costco mac & cheese that you might need an addition on your house just to find room for:
FacebookPinterestThis actually sickens me, but only because I don't like cheese (Yeah, I know, I'm weird). Otherwise, I'd be all in. Well, if I had space for such a monstrosity. And if I had the strength to lug it out of my trunk.

According to People Magazine (Although, I could have told you all this once I make my weekly Saturday trip to Costco), the bucket costs $89.99, which seems pricy for mac and cheese until you realize it might be the last batch of mac and cheese you ever have to buy. Unless you invite the Gronkowski brothers over for a Super Bowl party.

PGA Tour rookie Adam Svensson still living down that time he drove a golf cart into a lake

Sam Greenwood/Getty ImagesAdam Svensson reacts on the 18th green during the first round of the 2019 Sony Open In Hawaii.HONOLULU — Adam Svensson shot a career-best nine-under 61 to take one-shot lead after the first round of the Sony Open on Thursday. Of course the rookie’s career on the PGA Tour has spanned all of a dozen starts.
But the 25-year-old Canadian who won in the Bahamas on the Web.com Tour last year made a splash in golf long before that. Literally. Svensson was just a toddler when he drove a golf cart into a pond as his dad played nearby.
“My dad was teeing off, and I guess I decided to drive the cart right into the lake,” Svensson said. “I drove it into the lake, yeah.”

Naturally, Svensson’s dad made a bee line for the cart—to save his clubs—after his son had apparently hopped out of the cart.
“I think he got a putter or something, a driver out of there, but that was it,” Svensson said. “But [the cart] ended up sinking to the bott..
