The big time movie star's lifebombing exploits are  now legendary from doing the dishes at a random house party to crashing a kickball game, he has shown a knack for popping up when least expected and that just might be your wardrobe.

“The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything,” is the mantra of Bill Murray’s new golf lifestyle brand, William Murray.  Teaming up with his bros, incidentally all inductees into the Caddie Hall of Fame, the irreverent brand aims  to help the sport loosen up its buttons a little bit. The insignia on the polos is Murray in silhouette flicking his putter in mock disgust at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.   The actor isn’t profiting from the venture, with his cut supporting the Murray Bros. Caddyshack Foundation.  The above pictured Cubbies shirt was limited edition and is already sold out but if you like to knock back an old fashioned on the 19th hole you'll get a kick out of the below polo which is part of the current catalog.

Golf fans heading out to Napa to catch a round or two of the Safeway Open are a little peeved, many buying tickets after Tiger committed to the event which is typically a showcase for players without a firm grip on that PGA Tour card.  Jimmy Walker notched his first top tour win here in 2013 and  last year Emiliano Grillo grabbed his victory numero uno.
 
But this time around was supposed to be the return of the mack but el Tigre pulled at the 11th hour just a couple days before the event’s pro-am where he was slated to play with with Steph Curry leaving many fans miffed.

 Tiger Woods official statement was:
“After a lot of soul searching and honest reflection, I know that I am not yet ready to play on the PGA Tour or compete in Turkey."
 
But What’s the Real Reason Tiger Got Cold Feet?  Lets count’em down
 
#6 Caught a real bad case of the Chip-yips, the most embarrassing strain of the debilitating golf ailment.
 
#5  Kept going back on forth on whether he’s going to go with Mizuno or PXG irons and just couldn’t confidently make the decision.
 
#4    PHIL-OPHOBIA- He got word of the pairing with Mickelson and I get it, playing with Phil is no picnic
 
#3    When Jesper Parnevik crowed to Golf Digest that Woods was “flushing everything” he meant at the Bidet Superstore.
 
#2    Was hankering for some old school Beyonce so was listening to Destiny’s Child and that, “ I don't think you ready for this jelly.  I don't think you ready for this jelly,” line really stuck in and hey Safeway sells a ton of Smuckers.
 
#1 While fetching players turkey sandwiches and performing the other pertinent duties of the Ryder Cup Team’s assistant captain he realized these guys aren’t just really good, they’re incredible.  

The sky’s still the limit but when you use “the Force” pulling off high trajectory and on-target fairway wood blasts is a whole lot easier.  Thanks to a unique dual slot design, the Air Foil flexes inward on impact allowing the nitrogen embedded in the club head to thrust the face back towards its initial position at incredible velocity. This creates a mighty slingshot effect and coupled with a high launch angle makes getting your golf ball up in the air a snap.


AFO has carved out a niche in the easy-to-hit market (recall our first flying lesson with the DFX), and the nitrogen charged Air Foil’ certainly hits the mark in this regard and you can win you a sash in a ball flight beauty contest.   The fairway wood is available in a 15-degree 3-wood and 19-degree 5-wood.  The Air Foil rings the register at $149 and comes with an AFO Fujikura graphite stock shaft or you can upgrade to other shaft options for an extra $50.

The Oven is Empty
Mojo, PD, RZN no more
Hyperflight, hyper-hype, the Swoosh has left the clubhouse
 
Igniting on the scene in late ’03
Tiger unleashing their might
Big and bold and Mellow Yellow
Strong as a Sasquatch, stable as a Sumo wrestler
Brute strength and beastly power
Roaring Impact noise
 
Big Wiesy is the Power Lady
Juice ball bounds down the fairway
Greens attacked with Slingshots
On the dance floor pull out the Method and roll it in the hole
 
Victory Red and Machspeed reinvented the brash ‘Tude
But evidently not enough peeps fell for the Covert and Vapor which preceded the vanishing act. So, the oven is empty. 

University of South Carolina golf coach Billy Mac waxes wise and erudite on everything from analytical freak factors coaches look for while recruiting to how to counsel golfers post-apocalyptic-hole-meltdown. We even get into the nitty gritty on sport's academic stereotypes and the unsung merits of Taco Bell's Crunch Wrap Supreme.  If you're looking for the pin girl hat it is culled from Hole Hunter Industries cap collection

No one enjoys scrubbing your golf clubs clean after a round but it's not just about aesthetics, clean clubs perform better. When your clubs are grimy and the grooves on the clubface are clogged by muck and dirt you’re going to have difficulty on your approach shots.  You're not going to be able to generate enough spin making it harder to stick your shots onto greens and for low handicappers you won’t be able to impart enough backspin to curl shots back to the pin. 
 
You’re going to need some liquid dish soap, a towel, a bucket of water, golf cleaning implements with steel wool and soft bristles (an old toothbrush with some elbow grease behind it will also do the trick).  You only need enough water in the bucket to cover your clubheads and a single squirt of soap will generate enough suds to get the job done.  If you’re using a golf specific brush tool remember to only use the stiffer wire bristles for cleaning irons—woods should only be cleaned with the softer nylon bristles so that you don’t damage the clubface.
