What makes a great golf locker room? Is it a storied history, modern luxury or simply an unassuming place to change your shoes?

Pete Bevacqua, who was behind the move of the PGA Championship to May and who oversaw a restructure of the U.S. Ryder Cup team, is leaving after six years to become president of NBC Sports Group.

Yes. We just used Randy Johnson as a verb. That's because no athlete on earth (sorry Jared Allen) is as synonymous with the wonton destruction of wildlife as The Big Unit. You've it seen it a million times—Johnson turning a majestic dove into a down vest in the blink of a fastball—and you'll see it a million more, starting now. Avian discretion is advised:
So why are we firing up the PTSD wagon and reliving this dark moment in baseball history? Well, because soccer just got its very own version, courtesy of Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian:
Dios mio. That is a cut-and-dry case of wrong-place, wrong-time for that now-former bird, who just got wiped out of existence by a third-choice right back during a 0-0 preseason friendly in a half-empty Levi's Stadium. According to reports, after play stopped the limp bird was carried off the field and deposited in a bucket, per the circle of all life on this giant, spinning ball of dirt in the sky.
Anyway, have a good d..

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP) Three tournaments remain before the top eight players qualify for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, including $10 million or more purses from the World Golf Championship at Firestone and the PGA Championship.

Francesco Molinari signed with Bettinardi Golf earlier this year and won the Open Championship with the company's putter.

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP) The British Open bustled with excitement as the occasion began to unfold, with mobile phones zooming in to capture the moment from the best angle available.

Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where after getting a chance to play Carnoustie on Monday, we decided to re-enact the key moments from this year’s British Open instead of just writing about them.

Carnoustie is a ton of fun! If you’re playing with no pressure and little wind, that is. Anyway, here are some more words to describe what happened there last week as well.
WE'RE BUYING
Francesco Molinari: The hottest golfer in the world (two wins and two runner-ups in his previous five worldwide starts) coming into the Open did the unthinkable over the weekend by not making a single bogey at Carnoustie. Now throw in the fact he did it to claim his — and Italy’s — first major against a stacked leader board and while playing with Tiger Woods on Sunday.

BloombergDepending on the business, slogans and tag lines aren't supposed to be taken literally, though some certainly lend themselves to that. At Buffalo Wild Wings, you literally get wings, beer and sports. Yes, you should break me off a piece of that Kit Kat Bar, and yes, what happens in Vegas should absolutely stay there. But just because some of these work so well doesn't mean they all do.

One man took a tag line as literally as possible over the weekend in New Hampshire, stripping naked, walking into a Planet Fitness and beginning his workout. Eric Stagno, 34, of Haverhill, Massachusetts, walked back and forth and started doing poses on a yoga mat in the nude, according to cops. Before he got too deep in his zen, and before he could do real, lasting damage to fellow exercisers by getting into downward-facing dog, he was promptly arrested and charged with indecent exposure, lewdness ..

You go to every soccer practice. You help with the algebra homework. You changed diapers then and you let them play Fortnite now. You're the dad of the year…or at least you were, until this guy stepped into the ring. Honey, you might want change the channel:

So OK, not the greatest idea in human history. Babies have soft skulls and generally don't like being doused in Miller Lite. The smart play would have been to get out of the way of the hurtling baseball…or not pick seats labeled “Hoskins' Homer Alley”…or to leave your infant child with grandma when attending a live Philadelphia sporting event. But Phillies fans are gonna Phillies fan, especially when local shithead/hero Chase Utley is in the house for the final time, and so it was and forever will be.
Suffice to say, the Missus isn't going to be pleased when she gets back from her Nick Foles Appreciation Night and sees this, but at least this guy remembered his Roy Halladay (RIP) j..
