    You shouldn’t be intimidated as a guest at a country club. Maybe in the past, but more than ever, private club regulations are changing to be increasingly inclusive. Still, it’s nice to have some guidelines on what you can and can’t do. Can you take that phone call? Should you be taking photos? In general, asking your member-host is a good rule of thumb. This guide will answer most of your questions—so you’re prepared to enjoy the golf when you pull up to the club.

    If you’ve been in a wedding party recently, you know how much of a financial commitment it ends up being. Renting a suit or tux, traveling to a bachelor/bachelorette party, wedding gifts, lodging for a hotel … you might be in the hole for a couple grand to celebrate your good friend.

    It’s been a year of chalk at golf’s biggest events this year. Rory McIlroy winning the Players at 12-1 was the best payday. McIlroy was way shorter at the Masters, and Scottie Scheffler went off around +500 at the PGA Championship. Our experts have predicted each of those successfully. Blah blah. It would be easy to write Scottie Scheffler’s name in this column and try to keep the streak going. That’s no fun.

    This is a first for our Golf Digest betting panel—which has been making picks on PGA Tour events since gambling was legalized in 2018. We've had consensus bets to win with three or more of our experts picking the same player to win. We've also had consensus fades of players that we've predicted would not win. Never before has the same player been either picked to win or faded by every handicapper on our panel on the same week. That's what we have this week with Shane Lowry.

    The Block Party has been called off this weekend at Quail Hollow. Michael Block played in his seventh PGA Championship this weekend, but it was nothing like the fairy tale in 2023 at Oak Hill. There were a few highlights—sticking his approach on the difficult par-3 17th hole to six feet on Thursday and hitting a driver off the deck on Friday before taking a bow to the Charlotte crowd.

RT @LukeKerrDineen: Sometimes I have an idea and just start going on it, then quickly realize it was way more intense than I bargained for,…

Love the optimism of golf announcers. Jake Knapp’s ball literally disappeared into the core of the Canadian soil, but “it might be doable” https://t.co/T9kNEgb9Ua
