The coronavirus pandemic has hit a giant pause button on fans being able to watch golf on TV, and in some cases, even kept people off courses. But while we hunker down and hope for a speedy return to normalcy, we can also use this time as an opportunity to learn more about the game we love. Here’s our latest installment of “Did you know?”
The Masters theme song has become the unofficial theme song of spring, and for good reason. It’s a delicate, syrupy melody that evokes uplifting vibes, and has yet to be proven to cause insanity despite being looped over and over (and over) again during CBS’ broadcast of the tournament. Impressive, really. Here, see for yourself by watching this HOUR-long loop of it:
So who is the mastermind (see what I did there?) behind this treacly tune? Dave Loggins, a singer-songwriter who is a third cousin of Kenny Loggins, the man behind the “Caddyshack” theme song and other hits. Those Loggins family barbecues must have been lit. If I had to rank the Loggins c..

We're all missing the Masters Par-3 Contest today, but as we await November's edition, here are facts every golf fan should know about it

The 2020 Masters will not be played until November. However, the list of tournament invitees has been set.

Golf's 14-club limit wasn't always so. Until 1938, players were allowed to have as many clubs as they wanted—and often did.

Zhe JiThe current dilemma facing sports leagues across the world right now: How do we play our games, finish our seasons, and put some money back in the ol' advertising coffers without jeopardizing the health of our players and fans? The MLB has floated a supersized Cactus League that would feature all 30 teams playing games in Arizona as early as May. The NHL is weighing up a D2: The Mighty Ducks style playoff tourney that would take place in the frozen wastes of North Dakota where no virus could possibly survive. Perhaps the best (and by best, we mean most bat-shit crazy) plan of them all, however, belongs to UFC commish Dana White, who told TMZ on Wednesday that he is on the verge of securing a deal for a private island where he will be able to host UFC fights moving forward. If that sounds like the most Mortal Kombat thing ever to you, well, that's because it is.
For comparison's sake . . .
Pretty much what you were envisioning, right?
For now White says UFC 249 on A..

Welcome to another edition of The Grind where we miss last year. It was a simpler time when our biggest questions revolved around who was going to win the Masters—and my biggest concern was whether I should place a wager on Tiger Woods. You might recall I even made a parody song about my conundrum:

That turned out to be a pretty good omen for Tiger, huh? But a lot has changed since then and we’re not even sure when the Masters will take place again. Of course, a golf tournament is at the low end of peoples’ worries this week, so I promise to not be that guy bitching about not being at the Masters. That being said, I also promise to not be the guy bitching about the guy bitching about not being at the Masters this year. Let’s just agree to be nice to each other during these stressful times, OK? Cool. Now let’s talk about what else is happening—and not happening—in golf right now.
