Charles Howell III has had a career one can only dream of. He’s also known for having the coolest nickname on the PGA Tour. While Chuckie 3-Sticks may not be a household name, he is known to diehard golf fans and his peers on tour as the human ATM machine. The man just plays solid...
2022 Predictions
This time of year used to be called the silly season in the game of professional golf. The official season would begin in January with the winner’s only event at Kapalua in Hawaii. We on the east coast would get prime time golf and watch the game’s best tee it up in paradise while we...
Olympic Preview – Tokyo 2021
Sadly, Jon Rahm has been more attached to Covid than Dr. Faucci the last few months. Rahm was forced to withdraw from the Memorial as the leader after a positive test back in May. He then got vaccinated, came out of quarantine, and won the US Open at his home away from home – Torrey...

Where-Wolff

Tap In’s & Lip Outs
Rahm’s Raw Deal Jon Rahm arrived in Columbus on Monday for The Memorial knowing he had been in recent contact with someone who just tested positive for Covid-19. He alerted the tour and the event officials, and they administered a test…every single morning. And every single morning the test results showed negative. At the conclusion...
Twice As Nice
The final round at Colonial Sunday had the drama we wanted but it wasn’t quite the shootout we expected. Neither Jason Kokrak nor hometown favorite Jordan Spieth could seem to hit a green over the last 5 holes as it became a scramble fest for pars and bogies. In the end Jordan could have shot...
