President Trump installed his own $50,000 golf simulator in the White House

Ian MacNicol(Photo by Ian MacNicol/Getty Images)President Trump gets his share of golf in, making over 150 trips to his courses since taking office in 2017. But those visits are mostly confined to the weekends, and the Washington, D.C. weather is not conducive to working on one's game in the winter.
So Trump did what any hacker with means would do: he installed his own simulator in the White House.
According to the Washington Post, Trump recently put in a $50,000 Trackman golf simulator in his personal quarters. A White House official told the Post Trump paid for the simulator out of his own pocket.
The Post's story coincides with an Axios report around Trump's “Executive Time,” which accounts for 60 percent of his scheduled hours. Axios said that Trump usually did not leave his residence for the Oval Office until about 11 a.m.
Now, before you go connecting the dots, a White House official said Trump has not used the simulator since it was installed. Which, hey, we get r..

And what does this romantic getaway entail? Perhaps scintillating stories about his past soirees with Jenna Jameson and Madonna? Or tips on how to become a best-selling author?

No no, my friend; Canseco is cooking up something special just for you: a little golf, mixed with a search for Big Foot and aliens.
Yep.

Did Duke top the program’s most-famous comeback against Louisville on Tuesday? (Yes, they did)

Joe RobbinsWhen you're Duke, at least the Duke of the last five to 10 years, you're supposed to win almost every game, get upset a couple of times and then see what happens in March. It's an unfair aspect of the sport, but it's one that also makes it great. Because of that, the regular season rarely produces any memorable games anymore.
But Duke, especially this Duke team, has had a way of transforming the mundane into must-see TV. Whether it's a Zion Williamson dunk, or an insanely athletic block, a buzzer-beating three by Cam Reddish on the road at Florida State or a pair of impressive wins over an unbelievable Virginia team, the '18-19 Blue Devils squad could be one we'll remember for years to come.
And on Tuesday night Duke came up with its signature victory, overcoming a 23-point deficit to beat Louisville on the road and improve their record to 22-2. But this wasn't just any old 23-point comeback (a deficit multiple NBA teams erased last we..

Enjoy the apocalypse in style with this spectacular $18 million Vegas bomb shelter

An often overlooked aspect of preparing for the apocalypse are activities. Sure, you can stock up on all the Spaghettios you want, but what are you going to do to pass the time when the end of the world comes? Well, other than stuffing your face with Spaghettios.
But a spectacular bunker in Las Vegas that has been put on the market solves that problem in a variety of ways. Most notably with a pool and a putting green. And the price of turning a potential doomsday scenario into a great time—At least, until you run out of Spaghettios. And water—is $18 million.

Forbes recently brought attention to this one-of-a-kind listing that's located beneath a townhouse two miles east of the Vegas Strip and known as the Las Vegas Underground House. However, calling it a “house,” is quite the undersell. Made out of concrete and steel and built 26 feet beneath the ground's surface, the property is a massive 14,620 square fee..

Tim Mickelson’s two horses win — one his legendary brother, the other a descendant of legendary Native Dancer

Chris TrotmanPEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA – FEBRUARY 10: Phil Mickelson of the United States and caddie and brother Tim Mickelson prepare to play from the fourth tee during the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at Pebble Beach Golf Links on February 10, 2019 in Pebble Beach, California. (Photo by Chris Trotman/Getty Images)Tim Mickelson noted in a Tweet on Monday that both his horses won, each of them apparently a good mudder.
Brother Phil Mickelson, with caddie Tim aboard (who never needed to go to the whip), won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am by three lengths on a sloppy track on the Monterey Peninsula. He went off at 25 to 1 to start the tournament.
Tim’s other horse, Fiery Lady, with Mike Smith aboard, won the ninth race by two lengths at Santa Anita Park on Sunday in a race that was moved from the turf course to the dirt because of all the rain Southern California has had.
Yes, Tim is into horse racing and has been since attending Del Mar Race Track as a teenager. He became a ..

World’s Best Boyfriend PK Subban celebrates Lindsey Vonn’s retirement with balloons and GOAT cake

Dudes, if you're already stressing on Valentine's Day, you might want to look away. This is only going to make it worse. Following the last-ever race of her Hall of Fame career, Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn returned home on Tuesday to find boyfriend PK Subban—Predators defenseman, elite professional hockey player, and by all accounts a pretty busy guy—waiting to surprise her with a house full of balloons and assorted GOAT memorabilia (including a GOAT cake, replete with Vonn's pink trademark ski poles). In the immortal words of MC Hammer, you can't touch this.

In the mix indeed. This is black belt boyfriend stuff and Vonn, who has substantial experience with the Tiger Woods School of Affection, seems to mostly appreciate it, despite very evidently wishing she could just go the hell to sleep after an 18-hour flight. And maybe she would have if not for the giant stuffed GOAT perched in her side of the bed. Needless to say, Subban is dang..
