Marcel Siem: Hungover Course Records
Marcel Siem, one of Germany’s most colorful DP World Tour pros, made headlines again in 2025 – this time off the usual sporting stage. In the “Life on Tour” podcast, the 44-year-old recounted three personal course records claimed while completely hungover and sleep-deprived.

Since opening in 1993, La Jenny has become the world’s only officially recognized nudist golf course, attracting nature-loving golfers who value freedom of movement and a relaxed atmosphere.
