Happy Monday. A former Outlaw motorcycle gang member who spent 5 years in prison just punched his ticket to The Open Championship. Ryan Peake was locked up for a serious assault a decade ago before a coach reached out and asked if he wanted to revive his abandoned golf career. After immigration officials nearly kept him out of New Zealand entirely, he somehow went from "too dangerous to enter the country" to holding their national trophy just five days later. ⬇️
At 21, Ryan Peake was both a promising up-and-coming golfer and a member of an outlawed motorcycle gang in Australia.
After being convicted of assault and spending five years in prison, he made his way back to golf and secured his Australasian tour card this season.

🐝 Stinger of the Day
🎙️ The Starter
Which golfer has the nickname 'Mr. September?' |
Last Starter: 70% of readers knew that Arnold Palmer is nicknamed ‘The King.’ The King had 95 professional victories, with 7 major championships. He was the first golf superstar of the modern era. He is also well-endowed (according to Trump). “He took showers with other pros and when they came out of there they said oh my god, that’s unbelievable.” ⬇️

⛳️ 7 steps to save golf
Donald Trump just received a secret "seven-step plan" to end golf's billion-dollar civil war. The French Golf Federation president begs Trump for "visionary leadership" after White House peace talks between Tiger Woods and Saudi Arabia's money man failed. Golf insiders are desperately awaiting Trump's response to this last-ditch effort to save the sport from its plummeting viewership crisis. ⬇️
🐊 Horschel chases gator off course
PGA Tour pro Billy Horschel just pulled off the most dangerous club selection of his career - a 60-degree wedge to fend off a charging alligator. The Florida native jumped into action when he spotted a police officer trying to handle the reptile empty-handed during the Cognizant Classic. The incident occurred at PGA National's infamous "Bear Trap" section - the same area where another player encountered a massive reptile under eerily similar circumstances just last season. ⬇️

🤬 Fowler chirps back at fan
We've NEVER seen Rickie Fowler snap at a fan like this before - and it was completely justified. Golf's perpetual nice guy finally had enough when a mouthy spectator commented on his missed birdie putt at the Cognizant Classic. After 16 years of being the sport's coolest ambassador, Fowler turned and loudly fired back: "Of course you know... that's why you are in the stands." ⬇️

“Of course you know.”
Added, “that’s why you are in the stands.”
Ok Rick ! 🔥🔥🔥
