Marcel Siem: Record Rounds with Hangover
Marcel Siem, one of Germany’s most colorful pros on the DP World Tour, made headlines again in 2025 – this time beyond typical sporting contexts. In the \”Life on Tour\” podcast, the 44-year-old shared how he set three personal course records while reportedly completely hungover and sleep-deprived. His most legendary round was at the 2015 Pebble Beach Pro-Am, playing one of the best rounds of his life after a party night with Long Island Iced Teas, beer, and champagne, despite several breaks to vomit. He tied the course record with golf legends like Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.
Ryder Cup 2025: European Team’s Joyous Victory Celebration
After a narrow 15:13 victory at the 2025 Ryder Cup, the European players left the tension of individual matches behind and celebrated exuberantly. During the post-trophy presentation press conference, players joked about the upcoming party night: Tyrrell Hatton teased that Sepp Straka would remain \”undefeated\” in partying, and Justin Rose reminisced about his extended celebrations after the 2018 win. Shane Lowry announced he would leave early but how the night unfolded remained unclear until his next social media post. The festivities began with fans chanting and continued on the team bus, with champagne showers and a jubilant atmosphere as the team joyfully marked their triumph off the golf course.
La Jenny: The World’s Only Nude Golf Course
La Jenny Golf Course in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France offers golfers a unique experience: playing golf nude is not only allowed but explicitly encouraged. Set among pine forests and dunes, players can improve their technique on six holes – three Par-3s and three Par-4s – free from polo shirts, trousers, or belts. Since opening in 1993, La Jenny has become the only officially recognized nudist golf course worldwide, attracting golfers who value freedom of movement and a relaxed atmosphere. After the round, the clubhouse invites guests to enjoy drinks and relaxation. Unlike other nudist golf spots like Cypress Cove Resort in Florida, nudity here is mandatory, not optional.
