Then again, to love golf is to appreciate the game for its broad strokes as well as its tiny brush marks: from kinship to natural beauty to unbroken tees you find in the grass. What are you most thankful for in golf? Here’s our list.

Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we’re feeling extra thankful this Turkey Day. You see, before Tiger Woods made Thanksgiving week car crashes all the rage, I had one of my own in 2008 that I celebrated the 10-year anniversary of on Monday. You never heard about it because it predated my arrival at Golf Digest by a few months and wasn’t accompanied by an international sex scandal.
A decade after escaping the wreckage (My poor silver Scion TC) and getting hugs from a group of strangers who saw it happen while driving behind me, I’ll get to hug a wife and daughter I couldn’t have dreamed of at the time. And I’ll also get to spend part of my holiday with Woods (sort of) thanks to THE MATCH. What a time to be alive! Literally.
Alright, enough with the sappy stuff. Let’s take a look at everything happening in golf, and remember, watch out for fire hydrants.
