Marcel Siem: Course Records Amid Hangovers
Marcel Siem, one of the most colorful German pros on the DP World Tour, made headlines again in 2025 – this time beyond the usual sporting context. In the \”Life on Tour\” podcast, the 44-year-old shared how he set three personal course records reportedly while completely hungover and sleep-deprived. His round at the 2015 Pebble Beach Pro-Am stood out: 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, sharing the course record with legends like Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.
Ryder Cup 2025: European Team’s Jubilant Victory Celebration
Following a narrow 15:13 win at the 2025 Ryder Cup, the European players left the tension of singles matches behind and celebrated exuberantly. At the post-victory press conference, party plans were already a hot topic: Tyrrell Hatton joked that Sepp Straka would remain \”undefeated\” in partying, and Justin Rose reminisced about his extensive celebration after the 2018 win. Shane Lowry announced an early exit, though the night’s details remained unclear until his next social media update. The festivities began with fans chanting \”Ole-Ole\” and continued on the team bus, including champagne showers and high spirits as the team celebrated their triumph off the course as well.
The World’s Only Official Nude Golf Course
La Jenny golf course in France’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine region offers golfers a unique experience: naked golfing is not only permitted but expressly encouraged. Set 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 opening in 1993, La Jenny has established itself as the only officially recognized nudist golf course worldwide, attracting nature-loving golfers valuing freedom of movement and a relaxed atmosphere. After the round, the clubhouse invites players to refreshments and relaxation. Unlike places like Florida’s Cypress Cove Resort, nudity here is mandatory, not optional.
