⛳️ Sweet Caroline

Happy Wednesday. Daniel Hillier sang "Sweet Caroline" with the crowd before draining a clutch 10-foot par putt on Saturday's 17th hole at the BMW Australian PGA Championship while one shot off the lead. The 27-year-old New Zealander joined the raucous gallery's Neil Diamond singalong instead of trying to quiet them, then locked in and buried the pressure-packed putt. Hillier finished T-5 as David Puig won Sunday, but the one-time DP World Tour winner won over plenty more fans with his karaoke skills. If a singing contest breaks out on tour, bet on him. ⬇️

⛳️ Michael Kim had a hilariously awkward exchange at an indoor golf simulator when an employee asked if he brought clubs for his speed training session, then questioned "How long have you been playing golf?"
👀 Justin Thomas revealed grounds crew argued with Team USA about green speeds mid-tournament at Bethpage Black, claiming they were 13s on the Stimpmeter while "you can't have a putt roll three feet past the hole."
🤔 Frankie Borrelli skulled his million-dollar chip into the water at the Internet Invitational after "legitimately started seeing two golf balls" from pressure, admitting he rushed through his McCabe process instead of slowing down his pre-shot routine.

⛳️ Dial in your game

Meet the Nikon COOLSHOT 50i GII, the rangefinder that does more than spit out yardage and call it a day. Slope-adjusted distances that factor in elevation changes? Check. DUAL LOCKED ON QUAKE that vibrates when you've locked onto the flag? Done. A built-in magnet so it's always within reach? Obviously. And optics so crisp it's like having HDTV strapped to your face.

Gone are the days of squinting at blurry reads or wondering if you actually hit the pin or the cart path behind it. The COOLSHOT 50i GII rangefinder delivers speed, precision, and zero guesswork, all in a compact design that won't add bulk to your setup.

Whether you're dialing in a wedge from 87 or attacking a tucked Sunday pin, this is the tool you'll trust when it matters.

It's not just a rangefinder. It's Nikon.

📰 GOLF STORIES

⛳️ “How long have you been playing?”

Michael Kim had a hilariously awkward exchange at an indoor golf simulator when an employee asked if he brought clubs for his speed training session, then questioned "How long have you been playing golf?" The PGA Tour winner and French Open champ replied "Uh, like 20 some years" while trying to explain he just needed space to swing without hitting balls. The employee, claiming to be a "pro" himself, seemed confused why anyone would speed train indoors. Kim paid $10 and didn't pull a "Do you know who I am?" move. Worth it for the story alone. ⬇️

👀 Reason #1,000,000 why the USA lost

Justin Thomas revealed grounds crew argued with Team USA about green speeds mid-tournament at Bethpage Black, claiming they were 13s on the Stimpmeter while "you can't have a putt roll three feet past the hole." Captain Keegan Bradley had requested faster greens, but the crew fought them on it despite TV evidence showing countless short putts. Thomas called it "bizarre" that they were "being fought with and argued with" instead of the crew simply speeding them up. The fixation on speeds over actual play illustrated lack of focus that contributed to the seven-point Sunday deficit. ⬇️

🤔 Lessons from the $1M skull

Frankie Borrelli skulled his million-dollar chip into the water at the Internet Invitational after "legitimately started seeing two golf balls" from pressure, admitting he rushed through his McCabe process instead of slowing down his pre-shot routine. The 6-handicap Barstool personality said "the more I told myself not to get nervous, the more nervous I got" before blading it over the green. Sports psychologist Dr. Bhrett McCabe had taught him to talk through shots, which produced his best moments. Now he can use this nightmare as reference: "We now know what the worst thing could happen is." ⬇️
