Marcel Siem: Course Records with a Hangover
Marcel Siem, one of Germany’s most colorful professionals on the DP World Tour, made headlines in 2025 beyond typical sporting achievements. In the \”Life on Tour\” podcast, the 44-year-old recounted three personal course records allegedly set while completely hungover and sleep-deprived. Most famously, his Pebble Beach Pro-Am round in 2015 followed a party night fueled by Long Island Iced Teas, beer, and champagne, yet he delivered one of his best performances despite multiple breaks to vomit. He shares the course record with legends like Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.
Ryder Cup 2025: European Team’s Wild Victory Celebration
After a narrow 15:13 win at the 2025 Ryder Cup, the European players left the tension of their singles matches behind and celebrated exuberantly. Even during the post-presentation press conference, the upcoming party night was a topic: Tyrrell Hatton joked that Sepp Straka would remain \”undefeated\” in partying, while Justin Rose reminisced about his extended celebration after his 2018 win. Shane Lowry planned an early exit, but how the night actually unfolded remained unknown until Lowry’s next social media update. The festivities kicked off amid chants from fans and continued on the team bus with champagne showers and lively spirits, marking a triumph celebrated well beyond the golf course.
La Jenny: The World’s Only Nude Golf Course
Located in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, the La Jenny golf course offers a unique experience where playing golf without shirts, pants, or belts is not only allowed but explicitly encouraged. Nestled between pine forests and dunes, the course features six holes – three Par-3s and three Par-4s – where golfers can improve their game in a relaxed, natural setting. Since opening in 1993, La Jenny has become the only officially recognized nudist golf course worldwide, attracting players valuing freedom of movement and a laid-back atmosphere. The clubhouse invites guests to unwind after their round. Unlike places such as Cypress Cove Resort in Florida where nudity is optional, at La Jenny it is mandatory.
