An inside look at the ways golf clubs are adapting to the swirling events around them.

The world is on lockdown. Toilet paper has become currency and canned soup both sustenance and a weapon. Wildlife is returning to the Venice Canals and the streets have become grassy edens where fawns prance and butterflies flit as humanity toils in darkness.

We've seen Erik van Halen's chops before, tackling the sweet, vocal phrasing of George Harrison, but this time, perhaps inspired by society's collective angst, he's opted for slightly more aggressive fare in the Foo Fighters' “No Way Back.” Upon further inspection, maybe this isn't the hope-inspiring battle cry we initially thought it was, but to each their own.

Or, rather, IN there. this is no joke and the sooner we all do our part, the sooner we’ll be able to return to focusing on much sillier stuff like Tiger’s pursuit of Jack, LeBron’s pursuit of MJ, and (gulp) even the Masters.

Good to hear from him, by the way. It had been a while. Anyway, of course, we’ll still talk about the sillier stuff here. So crank up your Wi-Fi, find a comfy spot to sit, and let’s get to it.
