Marcel Siem’s Course Records Despite Hangovers
Marcel Siem, one of the most colorful German pros on the DP World Tour, made headlines in 2025 beyond usual sporting contexts.

During the post-trophy press conference, party plans were already joked about: Tyrrell Hatton quipped that Sepp Straka would remain \”undefeated\” at partying, while Justin Rose recalled his own extended celebrations after the 2018 victory. Shane Lowry said he would leave early, though the night’s outcome remained uncertain until his next social media post. The festivities started with fans chanting and continued on the team bus with champagne showers and high spirits, thoroughly enjoying triumph off the course as well.
La Jenny: The World’s Only Nude Golf Course
Located in France’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, the La Jenny golf course offers a unique experience: nude golfing is not only allowed but explicitly encouraged. Amid pine forests and dunes, players can practice their technique on six holes – three Par-3s and three Par-4s – free from shirts, pants, or belts. Since opening in 1993, La Jenny has been the only officially recognized naturist golf course globally, attracting nature-loving golfers who value freedom of movement and a relaxed atmosphere. After rounds, the clubhouse offers refreshments and relaxation. Unlike places like Florida’s Cypress Cove Resort, nudity here is mandatory, not optional.
