Marcel Siem: Course Records After a Night of Partying
Marcel Siem, one of the most colorful German pros on the DP World Tour, made headlines in 2025 again – this time off the usual sporting context. In the \”Life on Tour\” podcast, the 44-year-old revealed three personal course records he claims to have achieved completely hungover and without sleep. His round at the 2015 Pebble Beach Pro-Am is especially legendary: after a party night with Long Island Iced Teas, beer and champagne, Siem played one of the best rounds of his life despite multiple breaks to vomit. He shares the course record there with golf legends like Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
Ryder Cup 2025: European Team’s Exuberant Victory Celebration
After the narrow 15-13 victory in the 2025 Ryder Cup, the European players let go of the tension from the singles matches and celebrated exuberantly. Already in the press conference after the ceremony, the upcoming party night was mentioned: Tyrrell Hatton joked that Sepp Straka would remain \”undefeated\” in partying, and Justin Rose recalled his own extensive celebration after the 2018 win. Shane Lowry announced he would leave early – but how the night went remained unclear until Lowry’s next social media post. The celebrations began with fans chanting Ole-Ole and continued on the team bus with champagne showers and a joyous atmosphere as the team celebrated their triumph beyond the course.
La Jenny: The World’s Only Nude Golf Course
La Jenny Golf Course in France’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine region offers golfers a unique experience: nude golfing here is not only allowed but expressly encouraged. Between pine forests and dunes, players can practice their skills on six holes – three Par-3 and three Par-4 – free of polo shirts, pants or belts. Since its opening in 1993, La Jenny has established itself as the only officially recognized nude golf course worldwide, attracting nature-loving golfers who value freedom of movement and a relaxed atmosphere. After the round, the clubhouse invites guests to drinks and relaxation. Unlike other places like Cypress Cove Resort in Florida, nudity here is mandatory, not optional.
