Marcel Siem’s Legendary Course Records
Marcel Siem, one of Germany’s most colorful pros on the DP World Tour, made headlines in 2025 beyond typical sport. On the ‘Life on Tour’ podcast, the 44-year-old revealed three personal course records achieved while completely hungover and without sleep. His famous round at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2015 stands out: after a party night with Long Island Iced Teas, beer, and champagne, Siem played one of his best rounds ever, despite multiple vomiting breaks. He shares that course record with golf legends like Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.
Ryder Cup 2025: European Team’s Jubilant Victory Celebration
After a narrow 15:13 victory at the 2025 Ryder Cup, the European players let go of singles match tension and celebrated exuberantly. At the post-award press conference, the upcoming party night was already a topic: Tyrrell Hatton joked that Sepp Straka would remain \”undefeated\” in partying, and Justin Rose recalled his extensive festivities after the 2018 win. Shane Lowry planned to leave early, but how the night unfolded remained unclear until his next social media post. The celebrations began with fans chanting \”Ole-Ole\” and continued on the team bus, accompanied by champagne showers and an upbeat atmosphere, fully commemorating the triumph off the golf course.
La Jenny: The World’s Only Nude Golf Course
La Jenny golf course, located in France’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, offers a unique experience: nude golfing is not only allowed but explicitly encouraged here. Set among pine forests and dunes, players can improve their skills on six holes—three par-3s and three par-4s—free from polo shirts, pants, or belts. Opened in 1993, La Jenny has established itself as the only officially recognized nudist golf course worldwide, attracting nature-loving golfers who value freedom of movement and a relaxed atmosphere. Post-round, the clubhouse invites players to enjoy drinks and relaxation. Unlike other places such as Cypress Cove Resort in Florida, nudity here is mandatory, not optional.
