Description
Buckle up as we navigate through the storm that recently hit Las Vegas and its spiraling impacts, especially on the golf world. We were as shocked as you at the torrential downpours and the ensuing chaos brought upon by the flooding - turning Burning Man into a muddle and throwing golfing activities off course. Hang in there as we dive into Tony Finau's legal confrontation, leaving no stone unturned in tracing his journey from a modest background to the golfing limelight. Together with his brother Gipper, they've weathered storms of a different kind.Shadow Creek's soaring green fee rate has stirred us up, and we're here to dissect the implications. Are the top-dollar amenities justifying the price hike? Maybe they are, or perhaps not! But one thing's for sure - the Finau Brothers' rise from a humble beginning in Salt Lake City to a successful golfing career is beyond inspiring. From Tony's daughter's recent win in an AJGA event to the Ryder Cup's unexpected turns, we've got it covered. Our heated debates about the Ryder Cup's likely champion and the potential dark horses make for an exhilarating conversation.In what promises to be an engaging discussion, we unravel the evolving dynamics of golf as a sport and a thriving community. The blend of cultures, the Instagram effect on golfers, and its influence on purchasing decisions - we explore it all. Not to mention our banter about personalized putting grips and their role in improving your game. We're also shining a spotlight on our favorite Instagram handles, discussing the artistry of golf photographers, and dissecting the impact of influencers on golfers' style statements.
