Marcel Siem’s Hungover Course Records
Marcel Siem, one of Germany’s most flamboyant pros on the DP World Tour, made headlines in 2025 beyond traditional sporting achievements. In the ‘Life on Tour’ podcast, the 44-year-old revealed three personal course records allegedly achieved while completely hungover and sleep-deprived. His round at the 2015 Pebble Beach Pro-Am was particularly legendary: after a night of Long Island Iced Teas, beer, and champagne, Siem played one of the best rounds of his life despite several breaks to vomit. He shared the course record with legends like Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.
Ryder Cup 2025: European Team’s Celebrations
Following a narrow 15-13 victory at the 2025 Ryder Cup, the European players left the tension of individual matches behind to celebrate exuberantly. During the post-award press conference, talk of the upcoming party night had already begun: Tyrrell Hatton joked that Sepp Straka would remain \”undefeated\” in partying, and Justin Rose recalled his long celebration after the 2018 win. Shane Lowry announced he would leave early, but the night’s outcome was unclear until his next social media post. The celebrations kicked off with fans chanting \”Ole Ole\” and carried on in the team bus. Champagne showers and high spirits accompanied the team as they thoroughly enjoyed their triumph both on and off the course.
The World’s Only Naturist Golf Course
The La Jenny golf course in France’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine region offers golfers a unique experience: naked golf is not only permitted but explicitly encouraged. Nestled among pine forests and dunes, players can hone their skills on six holes – three par-3s and three par-4s – free from polo shirts, pants, or belts. Since its opening in 1993, La Jenny has established itself as the only officially recognized naturist golf course worldwide, attracting nature-loving golfers valuing freedom of movement and a relaxed atmosphere. After the round, the clubhouse invites guests for drinks and relaxation. Unlike places like Florida’s Cypress Cove Resort, nudity here is mandatory, not optional.
