Golf

Located roughly an hour and 30 minutes from Albany, in Middletown Springs, Vermont, lies Honey Pond Farm Estate, the ultimate sports and nature getaway in the area.

Golf can be a very "green" sport visually, the lush fairways, the tree lined greens and yes, the destination of the sport, the green! Those factors are all the more reason to play golf in the Capital Region in the fall. Over the next 6 weeks, people from all over the country will make this area a destination for "leaf peeping" and apple picking. Local golfers know, there is no better time of year to keep those clubs ready for beautiful conditions and spectacular views.

No matter how many balls I've lost, trees I've hit or curse words I've said, something will draw me back in to the wonderfully frustrating game of golf.

Despite the awkward chirps and thinly-veiled anger (I'm looking at you, Bryson), Capital One's The Match once again delivered a very strong performance.

Yesterday, at the U.S. Open, a gentleman ran out onto the course at Torrey Pines, and did the unthinkable, but also, the obvious. He started playing golf!

Torrey Pines is set on the beautiful coast of southern California. With that beauty, on hot humid days can come a dense marine fog, so thick you can’t see your fingertips stretched out in front of your face. So, teeing off in a major golf championship is probably not a great idea. Yesterday, that fog delayed the start of the 121st U.S. Open Golf Championship by 90 minutes.

Basically, “John you're up by 6 strokes. You tested positive for COVID-19 and your weekend is over.” Oh yeah, “by the way John, had you been fully vaccinated, you probably would have taken home $1.67 million and a cool crystal trophy to go with the one you won last year. Thanks for playing!” Rob Oller from the Columbus Dispatch, who was on The Drive with Charlie and Dan last week, quoted Jack Nickalaus as saying, “(Getting vaccinated) is a business decision in many ways...There’s no hassle to it after you get it.”

Justin Thomas seems to know a good golfer, and a good person, when he sees one, and he changed a life over the weekend.

This past weekend, May 21st, 22nd and 23rd, may have been the first weekend that you can make the argument that sports are, in a word, back.

This story is proof-positive of one thing...there is still some good left in the sports world. This time, it comes from the world of golf.

HBO's Armen Keteyian joined Levack and Goz to discuss the project

I've always been the guy that wished he could golf more and also wished I could golf better than I do. Some of the biggest meetings between powerful people happen on the golf course. Long before he became the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump was known to spend time golfing for business and for pleasure. I'll admit I was curious to see how President Trump swung the clubs and now thanks to Swing Coach P.J. Cowan we get a clean look at the Commander and Chiefs' drive.
