Good morning. It’s March 14th, and let’s get this ball rolling. DJ play that music. It seems like a good morning for some ‘Bush – Machinehead.’

The PGA Tour has what has been collectively known as the 5th major, a prestigious event that captivates golf enthusiasts from around the world. This tournament is recognized not just for its competitive flair but also for its unique and challenging course design. Among its most remarkable features, the island green on the 17th hole has been one of the most exciting in all golf, presenting both a breathtaking view and a daunting challenge for players. Golfers must navigate the water surrounding the green, making every shot a thrilling test of precision and nerve, which often leads to dramatic moments that can change the outcome of the tournament instantly.

Lots of talk about what’s going on with the PGA Tour and LIV. The PGA Tour Commissioner was out giving his usual fluff.

Matt Friend showed up on Fox News to give everyone a taste of his Donald Trump impression. Not bad 😂 Video below.

Anyone that knows me knows I’m not a fan of this President and his policies. The weirdest thing is that my alignment, you could say, is very split down the middle. On one hand, I’m Pro-Choice, supporting the rights of individuals to make decisions about their own bodies and lives; on the other hand, I am a firm believer in financial responsibility and fiscal conservatism, which leads me to support budget cuts in certain areas. However, I firmly oppose the chainsaw sledgehammer approach that we’re currently employing, as it lacks the sensitivity and nuance that many situations demand. Furthermore, I also don’t support executive branch overreach, which is a serious concern, especially given that this administration has issued nearly three hundred executive orders. If you feel compelled to legislate via executive order, it raises questions about the legitimacy of your agenda; it suggests that perhaps you don’t have the consensus or the backing from Congress that is essential for sustainable governance. True leadership should seek collaboration and dialogue, not bypass the checks and balances that form the backbone of our democracy.

Also having a President that doesn’t understand Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech is incredibly dangerous for a democratic society. Today, he stated that CNN and MSNBC are illegal, which is deeply troubling and reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of these essential rights. There is so much wrong with that assertion, as it undermines the very essence of journalistic integrity and public discourse. Imagine if, instead of targeting CNN or MSNBC, he had directed similar accusations towards Fox News or the Joe Rogan podcast. The implications of such rhetoric are frightening because it creates a dangerous slope where dissenting voices are silenced, leading to an increasingly polarized environment.

Rory. Rory

A notable incident occurred during a practice round at the 2025 Players Championship involving Rory McIlroy and a college golfer. Here’s what transpired:

The Incident

On Tuesday, March 12, 2025, Rory McIlroy was practicing on the 18th hole at TPC Sawgrass when he hit his tee shot into the water. Luke Potter, a junior golfer from the University of Texas who was watching nearby, made a heckling comment referencing McIlroy’s infamous meltdown at the 2011 Masters.

McIlroy’s Response

McIlroy, clearly offended by the remark, immediately approached Potter and his teammate. He asked for and took the phone of Potter’s teammate, then walked away with it. This action was captured on video, which quickly went viral on social media.

Aftermath

• Potter was escorted off the course, and his phone was later returned.
• The incident garnered significant attention in the golfing world and beyond.
• Potter issued apologies to McIlroy, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan, and others.
• John Fields, Potter’s coach at the University of Texas, called it an “embarrassing moment” for their program

McIlroy’s Performance

Despite the incident, McIlroy remained focused on the tournament:

• He shot a 5-under 67 in the opening round, placing him one shot behind the leaders.
• When asked about the incident after his round, McIlroy declined to comment, redirecting attention to his performance.

I’m excited to see this.

Have a good Weekend everyone!
