- 🏆 BEST Rangefinders 2024
Hi Golfer,
What an amazing U.S. Open!
I’d argue it was the best in recent memory - maybe since it took an extra day for Tiger and Rocco to settle things at Torrey in 2008 (18-hole playoffs are awesome).
⚫ Bryson won and might have become the most popular golfer on the planet in the process.
⚫ Rory ran and may have irreparably tarnished his image.
⚫Johnson Wagner recreated Bryson’s epic bunker shot and is inarguably the most beloved man in golf media right now.
ALL THAT AND WE STILL HAVE 1 MAJOR LEFT!
If you haven’t had your fill of U.S. Open coverage, check out Alan’s piece on Bryson’s win.
If you’ve had enough, we’ve got rangefinders worth spending money on, 5 things that aren’t, an awesome collab for the casual dad, and some amazing golf in a place you might not think to look for it.
Make this week a great one!

The Greatest Showman: Bryson Prevails at Pinehurst
The new fan favorite
He has been a tinkerer, savant, enigma, star, agent of change, pariah, ambassador, influencer and, now, inexorably, Bryson DeChambeau is a two-time United States Open champion. Less than a decade into his professional career, DeChambeau has produced the most unlikely in a series of reinventions: jovial fan favorite who is shaping the game in his own image.
He didn’t just win the 124th U.S. Open, he overwhelmed it with a persona as outsized as his drives. The fist-pumping, mean-mugging, baby-kissing DeChambeau did the unthinkable, stealing the crowd from perennial fan favorite Rory McIlroy

🕵️ MONDAY SPY POLL
Beyond Bryson’s victory, the 2024 U.S. Open will be remembered for a pair of missed putts and Rory’s subsequent expedient exit from the Pinehurst property.
There is a difference between expectation and obligation, though those lines aren’t always perfectly clear. With that, there will be plenty of conversation about what Rory should have done after Bryson holed out to win.
Should Rory have stuck around to congratulate Bryson? |

Let’s face it. You whiffed on Father’s Day. A tie? Seriously?
You owe it to Dad to get him something he’ll actually use. Even better, get Dad something he actually wants.
On this, the day after Father’s Day, there is still time for redemption. All you need to do is hit “Add To Cart.”
OluKai and LINKSOUL have teamed up for a Dad-approved collab. Is there anything more “Dad” than a pair of golf sandals?
WHERE TO PLAY
The Best Public Golf Courses in Michigan
Great golf where you may not expect it
Could Michigan be the most-overlooked golf state?
Home to the third-most golf courses in the U.S. with 859, trailing only Florida (1,262) and California (961), “America’s Summer Golf Capital” doesn’t just offer a ton of options but has various course layouts, styles and topography whether you’re playing on the Upper Peninsula or elsewhere.
While some of its private courses have hosted multiple majors, the Great Lake State boasts a ton of quality public courses from Arcadia Bluffs to Eagle Eye and everywhere in between.
So, without further ado (and in no particular order), here are some of the best public golf courses in Michigan.
