JOKE: Why do golfers take an extra pair of socks to the golf course with them?
In case they get a hole-in-one.

Masters champion Scottie Scheffler meets with the press following his victory at Augusta National on Sunday.
APRIL 11, 2022
As of Sunday evening, Scheffler is now a Masters champion as well. …
Later in a press conference with the media…. Scheffler then opened up about his faith.
“The reason why I play golf is I’m trying to glorify God and all that He’s done in my life,” he said. “So for me, my identity isn’t a golf score. Like Meredith told me this morning, ‘If you win this golf tournament today, if you lose this golf tournament by 10 shots, if you never win another golf tournament again,’ she goes, ‘I’m still going to love you, you’re still going to be the same person, Jesus loves you and nothing changes.’ All I’m trying to do is glorify God and that’s why I’m here and that’s why I’m in [this] position.”
Scheffler continued on to say he felt God’s presence on the course Sunday.

Today, at age-65, Bernhard Langer again mentioned this Bible verse in an interview. This quote is from this 2017 article.
ON HIS FAITH
“I’m just so blessed. I was carrying this Bible verse around with me from Proverbs 3:5-6. If I can just read it real quick: ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.’ That doesn’t mean I’m going to win all the time but it does mean he’s by my side and I can rely on him. And golf is my secondary thing. My faith is number one and its just awesome to have been out here for this long.”

“They’re Basically Destroying Golf” – Rich Eisen on Brooks Koepka Leaving the PGA Tour for LIV Golf

Rich Eisen reacts to Greg Norman and the LIV Tour’s big misstep right out of the gate when they removed golf journalist Alan Shipnuck from Phil Mickelson’s press conference at the organization’s first ever event.
ESPN Senior Writer Kevin Van Valkenburg tells Rich Eisen why the controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Tour is here to stay after paying hundreds of millions of dollars to the likes of Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson, if there’s any panic inside the PGA Tour offices with the number of high-profile defections to the LIV Tour, and when/if the tour will be able to land a TV partner.
Also included among those Scheffler thanked in the post was his caddie, Ted Scott. Scott and Bubba Watson parted ways late last year after more than a decade together. Their run included Masters titles in 2012 and 2014.
Scheffler and Scott first met through a Bible study about a year before they teamed up. When Scheffler called Scott, he told the longtime caddie he wanted to work with a Christian. …

“How did you first come to know Arnold?” – Rich Lerner, host
“Oh gosh, that goes back some 45 years ago. We were both guests of a gentleman at the Bohemian Grove. And I went down and picked him up. He’d flown in on John Denver’s Lear. … He was flying this Lear, and I picked him up and took him up to the Grove. We just had a great time. And we hit it off, and we became pretty good friends.”

“There’s an incredible amount of young talent. Guys are coming out and winning quickly and a lot. We’re all very respectful of each other. We all root for each other. And we want to just…. It’s not like I’m out with Patrick Reed saying ‘I hope he misses this put.’ I hope he makes this, and I hope I make two in a row on top.”

Blessed by an early spring, Palmer Golf Course opened 18 holes with two temporary greens on Friday.
Word spread quickly. On Friday, about 50 players showed up, Palmer director of golf George Collum estimated. By Saturday, as many 80 were on the course — including one who buried an early-season eagle.
“It’s very early,” Collum said Saturday. “We opened in 2002 on the 28th of March. This is a week earlier, but we’re opening all 18 holes this time.” …
Collum said this is the course’s earliest opening.
