Golfpocalypse is a collection of words about golf (professional and otherwise) with very little in the way of a point, and the Surgeon General says it will make you a worse person. Reach out to The Golfpocalypse with your questions or comments on absolutely anything at [email protected]. There are two sayings I hear on the golf course that I hate with all my heart: 1. "You're not good enough to get mad." Yes, I am.

There are people in this world who couldn't bore you if they tried, and in our little corner of the world, Chandler Withington is my nominee for one of golf's most interesting men.

Here's a question nobody asked: How do you combine medieval fantasy (think of the warring kingdoms on Game of Thrones), strategy board games like Risk and competitive golf?

CHARLOTTE — It is difficult to imagine the feeling Scottie Scheffler must have had as the minutes and hours passed before his 2:40 p.m. tee time on Sunday. These major mornings have always felt long to him, so he did his best to sleep in, but with a 1-year-old at home, there's only so much he could do. Things simplify when he arrives at the course, but there is nothing simple about a major Sunday.

My friend Colin had this fantasy-style map of our beloved @HillandaleGolf made and gave us each a copy, absolutely love it https://t.co/YF2GJXq3qi
I accidentally made JJ Spaun a favorite player on the PGA Tour app during the Players, and have just left it since. And it’s slowly working on me.
My friend Galen tried to go under par at Moron Corner at Occoneechee, this was fun: https://t.co/RKR81f7sb8
