Notah Begay III Junior Golf Nationwide Championship, Max Homa, Boston Frequent Golf
Whats up mates, and welcome again to the Rogers Report! Between going to the Patriots sport with my dad on Sunday (which was a loss for the group, however a win for me by way of being the favourite little one) and a TGL occasion at Fenway with David Ortiz and Pedro Martinez on Monday, I’m feeling very in tune with the Boston sports activities world proper now.
Shout out to The Golf Store of St. Andrews, the place I bought my sweatshirt a number of weeks in the past. If it appears acquainted, right here’s why.
Boston Frequent Golf occasion
As a Boston gal, I used to be very bummed when the Playoff occasion at TPC Boston was taken off the schedule. I grew up going to the match with my junior golf mates and our head professional, and continued to go yearly all through school. I seemed ahead to the U.S. Open at The Nation Membership for years, and was bummed when it was over as a result of I believed it meant that skilled golf wouldn’t be again within the space for fairly a while.
I’m undoubtedly nonetheless studying the ins and the outs of the TGL, however I used to be very excited to see the Boston Common Golf group at some native spots Monday. I attended their press convention within the morning, the place the gamers talked in regards to the league and their schedule, and Keegan Bradley shared simply how excited he’s to characterize his favourite metropolis.
As somebody who grew up going to Fenway Park, it was cool to see the gamers soak up one in all my favourite spots — one from the place I’ve numerous reminiscences.
I’m positive their tour of Fenway was nice, however I can’t assist however assume that my private anecdotes would’ve added a pleasant contact to their time there. Oh effectively.
On Monday night, I attended a launch celebration again at Fenway. Kira Dixon hosted a panel, and David Ortiz and Pedro Martinez saved everybody on their toes. When requested about his golf sport, Ortiz mentioned, “You wish to know the final time I performed 18 holes? By no means.” Martinez talked to Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy, Tyrrell Hatton and Keegan Bradley about Boston sports activities followers, and he danced throughout the stage and informed Hatton that he reminded him of his outdated teammate, Dustin Pedroia. Martinez then mentioned he’d name Hatton “Pee Wee,” as a result of that’s what he known as the second baseman.
I received to meet up with McIlroy for a couple of minutes, and from one Irish individual to a different, I welcomed him to Boston with open arms. His initiation to Beantown can be full when he will get screamed at by a neighborhood for taking too lengthy to order Dunkin Donuts.
Additionally, I hit a number of golf balls through VR for the primary time final evening and I’m all in on it.
Tiger Woods the caddie
Our favourite 15-time main champion was on the bag for his son, Charlie, on the Notah Begay III Junior Golf Nationwide Championship in Louisiana over the weekend. And he seemed nice.
Pay attention, I could not know a lot in regards to the technicalities of the golf swing. However I do know a factor or two about strolling. As somebody who has been placing one foot in entrance of the opposite for nearly 29 years, I can confidently say that Tiger is doing it effectively right here.
If I didn’t know any higher, I’d assume that is the stride of a person who hasn’t needed to go underneath the knife a number of instances for his leg and ankle. And most essential, he appears much more comfy than he did on the Masters. It was onerous to not wince watching him tackle the fairways at Augusta, so this looks as if a whole lot of progress. I’m completely happy for him! And completely happy for Charlie, too, in fact. As for the youngsters of their group on the match, I can not think about what it’s like teeing it up in entrance of an 82-time PGA Tour winner.
Charlie, I hope your dad’s yardages have been appropriate and that he grabbed all of the pins for you over the weekend.
And people, simply as I’m scripting this now we have an replace from the looper himself…
The Homas and Thomas’ safari
Justin Thomas, Max Homa and their other halves are benefiting from their time without work. The squad took a visit to Madikwe Reserve in South Africa to take a look at the wildlife, and it seemed just like the journey of a lifetime.
Justin Thomas even tried his hand at some on-site reporting. Be careful, Smylie Kaufman. He could possibly be coming in your job.
I do know he was wanting on the animals, however Thomas has the outdated man golf spectator look down. Simply take a look at that focus and stance!
A Ryder Cup celebration on the Donalds
The Ryder Cup could also be over, however the celebrations are undoubtedly not. The Donald household hosted a victory celebration at their Florida dwelling over the weekend, and there was fairly the turnout. My invite should have gotten misplaced within the mail, however I nonetheless hope everybody who attended had an superior time.
First off, let’s check out that cake. Props to the baker who put that collectively. I wrestle with the directions on the Betty Crocker cake combine containers, so I’ve large respect for the expertise that takes.
Diane Donald
Pleasant PSA: If you’re not following Diane Donald on Instagram, that should change proper now. She is one in all my favourite individuals on the app. You understand how the mothers in your life are consistently importing footage to Fb? That’s how Diane Donald is together with her Instagram tales. Because the captain’s spouse, she supplied a ton of cool behind-the-scenes content material from the Ryder Cup.
My favourite photograph she shared from the celebration is the next one in all Viktor Hovland with two of her daughters and their mates.
Diane Donald
I really feel like I understand how this went. The gals wished an image with Viktor, however have been perhaps too scared to ask. So Diane facilitated it, and the ladies have been sort of mortified whereas it was happening. However the second it was over, they have been determined to get their arms on that photograph. Gals, take it from me. I’ve been there. And this can proceed to occur for a very long time. And in 15 or so years, you’ll nonetheless be speaking about this photograph.
Okay, people. What I’m about to point out you subsequent is likely one of the most stunning issues to seem within the Rogers Report. Nothing may have ready me for it.
U.S. Ryder Cup group snub Keegan Bradley was in attendance on the European group’s victory celebration. I needed to play Diane Donald’s Instagram reel a second time to verify I may imagine my eyes. I’m determined to find out how this went down. Is Bradley switching loyalties? Does he stay within the neighborhood? What did Luke’s textual content inviting him to this celebration appear like? All I do know for positive is that he nonetheless hasn’t unpacked that darn suitcase from 2012.

The Finaus head to Cabo
The Finaus, their household and mates headed to Cabo final week for what I can solely suspect was a vow renewal celebration. I’ve seemed on the Instagram posts, screenshotted the tales and executed another normal sleuthing. They by no means actually named precisely what they have been celebrating, however there was a ceremony and a reception so I’ve to imagine they have been celebrating their marriage. And it seemed like an absolute blast.
Layna Finau
In addition to the principle occasion, the Finau household had spa days, pool events, dance events on a ship and placing competitions.
Layna Finau
It’s onerous to not have enjoyable whenever you’ve received an enormous household. However this has impressed me to tell my household that we have to carry our celebrations to the subsequent stage. Hanging out in the lounge with soccer on within the background merely isn’t going to chop it anymore.
