What would golf be like if you couldn't use golf clubs…or golf balls…or pretty much any other equipment expressly designed for smacking a tiny object hundreds of yards through the air at a target about the size of a coffee mug? Well, the answer, at least according to Dude Perfect's second All Sports Golf Battle—which sees the trick shot crew attempt to play “golf” on an actual course with everything from tennis rackets to soccer balls to frisbees—is a simple one: Even harder than it already is, which is already next to impossible if the wind is kicking up, or you had three beers the night before, or are thinking about emails, or have a sore calf, or forgot to bring a banana, or, well, you get the picture:
Dude Perfect start off on a par 5 with a water hazard, and don't fare particularly well with the length, with a 10 clocking in as the low score on the hole. After that the crew moves to a par 3, where their non-golf implements fare decidedly better, with both groups..

Men of America, hear this: Your beard is a privilege, not a right, and as such, it can be revoked at any time for any number of indiscretions, including goatee bleaching, hot-rod-flame sideburns, and anything else it seems like Guy Fieri might do. This holiday season, that also happens to mean ABSOLUTELY, CATEGORICALLY NO DECORATING OR SEASONALLY BEDAZZLING YOUR BEARD LEST YOU BE BANISHED TO THE ISLAND OF MISFIT IDIOTS WITH RUDOLPH’S DRUG-ADDICT SON.

Now, with the stress of the holiday season ahead and the chaos of Movember still looming in the rearview, it is not uncommon to see a swell in disturbing beard-related crime this time of year, but this? This is a collapse in the moral fabric of facial hair. This is a faint plunk off rock bottom echoing into the great yawning void of manhood. Be who you want. Love who you want. Root for who you want. But your beard is not a Christmas tree nor a Menor..

FlashpopIf you’re about to be a new father, establishing a registry is the easiest part of the process — generally speaking, mothers handle most of the tough parts, and by “most” I mean “all” and by “tough” I mean sweet jumping Jehosephat. Yet though there’s not too much difficult about plopping on your couch and ordering free things from your friends, the process does come with a little bit of decision-making: Where does one register? Does one stick with Target and Bed Bath and Beyond for necessaries, or get all fancypants and register for Pottery Barn cribs, Restoration Hardware knob pulls and gift certificates from the pro shop, hypothetically?

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) It wasn’t the best shot Tiger Woods hit all week. It might have been the most telling.

He had 271 yards to the par-5 third hole at Albany Golf Club, a tropical breeze working against him. Woods went with a 2-iron. He held nothing back on the swing and then quickly recoiled the club as he watched it soar against the blue sky toward the flag.

That it rolled through the green and down a slope wasn’t the issue.

”I thought it was money,” Woods said.

So did Justin Thomas, the PGA Tour player of the year who was paired with Woods in the first and final rounds of the Hero World Challenge.

”I didn’t say anything,” Thomas said. ”I just looked at him. I was like, `That was pretty good.”’

This was his fourth day of his first tournament in 10 months after recovering from a fourth back surgery. He was as strong Sunday as when he started. He was like that all week, and the state of his health was far more important than his scores.

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) Rickie Fowler isn’t winning as much as he would like. He’s still undefeated against Tiger Woods over the last month.

According to Fowler, anyway.

They played in Florida as Woods began working toward a return to competition from his fourth back surgery. Woods said it was young players like Fowler, Justin Thomas and Daniel Berger who motivated him, encouraged him and at times helped him understand where his game was at.

Fowler and Woods both left the Hero World Challenge with plenty of optimism for the new year.

Fowler rallied from a seven-shot deficit by opening with seven straight birdies and closing with an 11-under 61, the course record at Albany Golf Club, for a four-shot victory over Charley Hoffman that moved him to No. 7 in the world.

Woods had three rounds in the 60s, and even with back-to-back bogeys, he closed with 68 on Sunday and tied for ninth in the 18-man field. It still was his best result since a playoff loss i..

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) Nasa Hataoka of Japan won the LPGA Tour qualifying tournament Sunday at LPGA International to earn one of 20 full tour cards for next season.

The 18-year-old Hataoka closed with a 1-under 71 on the Hills Course to finish at 12-under 348.

”It’s really hard to be a professional golfer,” Hataoka said. ”The LPGA is one of the best leagues, so I’m going to try to prepare as soon as possible.”

Hataoka won the 2016 Japan Women’s Open, becoming the first amateur and the youngest champion to win a major tournament on the Japan LPGA Tour.

Tiffany Chan was a stroke back after a 69. She became the first player from Hong Kong to qualify for the LPGA Tour.

”I’m feeling really excited,” Chan said. ”I just tried to play my best out there today.”

South Africa’s Paula Reto (71) was third at 9 under, and Australia’s Rebecca Artis (71) was another stroke back.

You love your family…in a vacuum. A living, breathing embodiment of “simpler times” and lightly conditional love, they mean a lot to you* (*from 500 miles away), and there’s no better time to show them how much while simultaneously testing the structural integrity of your personal glass house in the cold, hard arena of reality than the holidays. When that nostalgia cocoon casket does inevitably crack, however—sometime between that third consecutive piece of pumpkin pie and the debut of grandma’s new “friend” on Christmas Eve—your options are limited. You can always move your flight up to approximately eight minutes after however long it will take you to get from your parents’ house to the airport if you snuck out the basement door right now and just started running, but there's also a better (cheaper) alternative:
Booze. Lots of it.
This isn’t just some rejected National Lampoon’s script, though. According to a new study conducted by alcohol.org, practically any non-fatal liquid l..

(Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty Images)Local boys are always gallery favorites, a tag that certainly fits Charley Hoffman at the Shriners Hospital for Children Open held in Las Vegas. Although he grew up in California, Hoffman went to school at UNLV, helping the Rebels to an NCAA Championship in 1998, and now calls Vegas his residence.
But the crowds at TPC Summerlin have another rationale in pulling for the hometown Hoffman: earlier this week, the 40-year-old pledged 100 percent of his winnings to victims of the recent Las Vegas shooting.
“I’ve never done this, donating my check,” Hoffman told reporters this week. “It’s a funny feeling. I’ve never had a better desire to win than this week. That’s a great feeling. Maybe I should do this..
