Butch Harmon has taken three players to No. 1 in the world—Greg Norman, Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson. And his simple, direct style of teaching is even better for weekend golfers. In this video series, Butch covers all the keys to getting off the tee and on the green. Butch at his best!

Ezra Shaw(Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)Buddy Hield turned 25 this week. Except that he's actually 26.
Hield, who is enjoying a breakout campaign with the Sacramento Kings in his third NBA season, told the Kings' broadcast team before Monday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves that he was born in 1992. Somewhat interesting, considering almost every media outlet—including ESPN, Yahoo, CBS Sports, and the NBA's official website—had Hield born in 1993.
So, uh, what the hell, right?
According to Hield, blame the Internet. Speaking with NBC Sports:
“That’s their fault, not my fault,” Hield said when asked why everywhere, including the NBA’s website, has him listed as 25. “The first time I saw it on Wikipedia, my mom said, ‘Why do they have your age wrong?’ I said, ‘I have no idea.’ ”
Born in Freeport, the main city on the island of Grand Bahama, Hield came to the U.S. with identification and, according to the Kings star, all of it has the correct date.
“I c..

Want to see something really gross? Then look no further than beautiful Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where one random hero is making waves for the most horrifying hockey style statement ever on Thursday night: A yellow sweater with a massive, Christmas light-lined hole cut in the torso revealing a festive conifer and Mario Lemieux's iconic #66 shaved into his chest hair. If this man offers you nachos, just say no.

Now we've seen plenty of wild hockey salad over the years, from the Minnesota State High School All-Hockey Hair Team to these incredible retro renderings of modern superstars, but this is much gnarlier fare. Just look at it. LOOK AT IT. It's like he's been rubbing Rogaine on his stomach for months in preparation for this moment.
Now if you'll excuse us, we're gonna go scrub our minds-eye out with soap, because while life without Christmas trees is no problem, we're not sure what we'd do wit..

Tiger came back to competitive golf and the European’s boat-raced the Americans in the Ryder Cup. But what have you forgotten took place in 2018? Take our quiz

John Tortorella's relationship with the media has been tense at best and toxic at worst throughout his career. The Columbus Blue Jackets head coach loathes the press conference, has no time for stupid questions and has never been afraid to single out certain reporters that draw his ire. His most famous, or infamous, relationship was with the New York Post's Larry Brooks, one documented in a few clips that belong in YouTube's Hall-of-Fame.
But if there's one thing he can't stand more than the press conference and the reporters in them, it's cell phones, specifically, when a reporter's cell phone goes off in a press conference. In Tortorella's view, if he has to go through this waste of his time he better have your undivided attention and you better not interrupt him with an unruly cell phone. The Sporting News' Sean Gentille summed up this “eternal struggle” quite nicely back in 2013, pointing to the most egregious cell phone offenses Torts w..

Golf World just wrapped up its countdown of the top 25 Newsmakers of 2018, a ranking of players, events and moments that mattered this past year. It’s a good list, but in all honesty, it fell short in presenting the stories of a highly underappreciated, yet critical element, of our sport. An element that fills in the gaps that connect generations of golf history and provides color to the commentary.
So we’re here to set the record straight and provide some shade for those we overlooked.
Yes, we’re talking the top Newsmakers of 2018, inanimate-object division.
Seriously, much of golf’s iconography has to do with non-living, non-breathing things. The green jacket. The Swilken Bridge. The Stimpmeter. Tiger’s Sunday red shirt. It’s only appropriate that we give these things their due. So we’ve identified a handful of the most important “things” in golf in 2018. Some made us laugh. Some made us cry. And some just plain made us cringe.

It's been a little while since we've heard from Gritty. Partly because the Flyers and Eagles stink and suddenly all of those good Philly feels have come back to the mean a little bit, and partly because post-Halloween, giant orange monster popularity generally takes a bit of a dip. The Flyers' formerly lovable mascot seems to have sensed the sea change as well, taking to the ice earlier this week disguised as Santa to open up a can of Christmas whoop-ass on some unsuspecting Santas and reclaim his crown as Humanity's Favorite Nightmarish Myth.

From the looks of these vicious hits—and even a wreath lasso—Gritty may well have sold his soul to Krampus himself. In fact, decked out in all that red and white, taking cheap shots at anything that moves, one might even mistake him for Tom Wilson. But the truth, as the Flyers' social media team wisely points ..

Golf architect Keith Foster plead guilty on Wednesday to illegally transporting between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of items made from endangered species, migratory birds and other wildlife.
