Happy Monday. Professional golf just witnessed its most extreme anger management technique ever when Ryan McCormick resorted to literally taping his mouth shut during tournament play. The struggling Korn Ferry Tour player admitted trying "books" and "talking to people" before implementing his Batman villain-inspired solution to protect playing partners from his rage. His brutally honest admission about feeling like "Bane from Batman" offers a rare glimpse into the psychological torment many pros endure while maintaining golf's composure standards. ⬇️

🎙️ The Starter

Last Starter: 70% of readers knew that the bridge at Augusta National’s 12th hole is called Hogan’s Bridge. The Masters is full of stories and secrets. Did you know that there is a secret green at Augusta that the public doesn’t know about it. ⬇️

👀 Free Sunflower Seeds

We are all avid sunflower seed eaters and believe they absolutely belong on the course—just don’t spit them on the greens or tee boxes.

Our favorite brand is SMACKIN. If you haven’t tried them yet, we highly recommend grabbing a variety pack from the link below. Usually, you get 12 bags, but they just launched Sour Cream and Onion as a new flavor and are throwing in two free bags!

SMACKIN has taken over the sunflower seed space because they contain 10x less sodium than traditional brands. This means you can enjoy them for significantly longer without experiencing that salty burn.

They offer 11 different flavors, including Cinnamon Churro, BBQ, Lemon Pepper, Ranch, Garlic Parmesan, Cheddar Jalapeño, Cracked Pepper, Original, Dill Pickle, and Maple Brown Sugar.
