 👋 Hey Golf fans,

Happy Labor Day. If you’re reading this, you’re either working through the holiday or successfully hiding from your family. Either way, we’ve got your back.

Today, we’re looking at the "Blue Monster" bite—specifically for the veteran whose focus slipped so badly he played the wrong ball. Beyond the Cadillac Championship blunder, we’ve got Jordan Spieth weighing in on LIV golfers' comeback possibilities, Scottie Scheffler's another awkward run-in with the press, and more.

Let’s get started…

A split-second lapse turned a promising start into a round-altering nightmare.

On May 1, 1939, the opinionated and insightful Frank Beard was born. An 11-time PGA Tour winner, Beard’s standout season came in 1969 when he led the Tour in earnings. While his $164,707 haul might seem modest by today’s standards, it meant he out-earned legends like Nicklaus, Palmer, Trevino, and Player that year. After a successful career that included a victory on the Champions Tour, he remained a fixture in the sport by sharing his learned commentary as a television analyst. Happy Birthday, Frank!
