This guy’s Dustin Johnson and Keegan Bradley impersonations are SCARY accurate
Connor Moore is the undisputed king of impressions when it comes to PGA Tour golfers. There is no debate. However, he officially has some SERIOUS competition.
Moore's new foe? Jack Bartlett (@JackBartlett1 on Twitter), who randomly tweeted out this absolutely SCARY accurate impersonation of Dustin Johnson because, according to him, “People have said for years I should put some of my golf impressions on social media.” Well, whoever those people are, we cannot thank you enough. Check out his DJ impression, which isn't just him saying “ummm” a lot, it's DJ's mannerisms, walk-up to the ball, follow through, the whole bit:

When I first came across this, I figured it was just a guy doing an OK impression of DJ's voice, which really doesn't take much. Then, when you notice the way he stands, moves his body around and nonchalantly walks up to the ball, all of a sudden it literally looks like Dustin Johns..

69-year-old man tries to legally change his age to 49 because time is a flat circle or something
Ladies and gentlemen, The Loop is pleased to announce our Jackass Of The Week: 11/4 – 11/10. His name? Emile Ratelband. His claim to fame? Officially petitioning a Dutch judge to legally reduce his age for 69 to 49 because he believes age, like gender, is fluid. Also because he thinks it will help his Tinder game, obvi.
In a recent interview with the Guardian, the self-professed “Young God” laid out his plight, saying, “When I’m on Tinder and it says I’m 69, I don’t get an answer. When I’m 49, with the face I have, I will be in a luxurious position.” In other words, he's asking the judges—who he says “laughed like little girls” at his initial proposal—to wingman for him, because clearly they have nothing better to do.
Couldn't he just change his age on a dating app? Sure, but ” I don't want to lie” says Ratelband while lying to himself, this time to the Washington Post. Oh, and if you're also wondering why the Washington Post and Guardian are publishing the stoned r..

This PGA Tour pro is much more chill about an airline losing his golf clubs than you would be
From time to time, PGA Tour pros put airlines on blast for losing misplacing their golf bags. It's understandable considering these guys' jobs are on the line — just this July, Graeme McDowell missed a British Open qualifier as a result — and these rants are perhaps the closest us weekend hackers will ever truly know what it's like to be one of them. But this week, Wesley Bryan was the latest victim of a careless air carrier and he gave a totally different reaction.
Instead of complaining, Bryan thanked the unnamed airline and treated himself to a spa day:

Well played, Wes. Of course, it helps when you're staying at a resort in Mexico on a perfect day, but still, that's a pretty chill response by the winner of the 2017 RBC Heritage.
Bryan is in Playa del Carmen for this week's Mayakoba Golf Classic. If he ever gets his golf clubs, that is. If not, you can probably find him by the pool.
