Caption contest: Duf Dynasty?

Dufnering Dynasty

 

Bubba Watson tweeted the above picture from New Orleans of himself #Dufnering with Jason Dufner and the stars of Duck Dynasty. Now that’s a motley crew, eh?

This picture screams caption contest. Ready, set, go!


Balls in the Air: Masters picks and other random predictions

Cute alert!

Cute alert!

It’s Wednesday before The Masters and it feels like Christmas Eve. I’ve been trying to explain that to my roommate, a non-golfer, who knows nothing about the game. She is insisting it can’t be Christmas tomorrow without presents and she will be incredibly disappointed if she doesn’t wake up to a tree with pretty lights with gifts underneath it.

“Yeah, dream on,” I told her.  (continue reading…)


Bubba reveals his Masters champions dinner menu

Bubba Watson Masters champions dinner menu

2012 Masters champ Bubba Watson tweeted the above picture, unveiling the food he chose to serve at the Masters champions dinner on Tuesday night. Since Bubba kept the menu super top-secret, I was expecting something a little more exciting. I mean, it sounds delicious, but can anyone say, BOR-ING? Snore alert! (continue reading…)


VIDEO: WUP Hangout, 2013 Masters Tuesday

Pardon my rambling in this Hangout — I’m not used to doing these alone. It’ll be better going forward, I promise (and once I get more reps, which I’ve heard are important!). Thanks as always for watching and special shout-out to those who asked questions. You guys rock.


Bubba breaks down and cries (shock!) when asked about Masters victory

It’s no secret that last year’s Masters champion Bubba Watson gets emotional. He cries every time he wins, so it’s not a big a surprise he sheds tears when he talks about capturing his first major. Heck, I would probably do the same.

Watson welled up when he described wrapping his baby son Caleb in the green jacket a few days after his big victory last year. Golf Magazine’s Alan Bastable recounts the scene during Bubba’s press conference at Augusta National on Tuesday morning(continue reading…)


Your 2013 Masters pairings

The first- and second-round pairings are out for the Masters! I’ll cut to the chase —  Tiger Woods is grouped with Luke Donald and Scott Piercy at 10:45am on Thursday.

Maybe it’s just me, but the Green Coats seemed to have more fun with the pairings just a few years ago. Wait, no, they don’t have a sense of humor. I’m thinking of the U.S. Open. Duh. (Obviously, I’m typing train of thought.) Anyway, here are the groups that stood out to me (all times EST) — and there are quite a few: (continue reading…)


VIDEO: Bubba if by land, Bubba if by sea!

In case you’re one of the few people who haven’t seen this, Bubba Watson and the folks over at Oakley, along with hovercraft expert Chris Fitzgerald, president of Neoteric Hovercraft, Inc., an Indiana-based company, have built a hovercraft golf cart. (And the date of the above video’s release is April 2nd — my birthday! — so no, it’s not an April Fool’s joke.)

Everybody’s #Dufnering

After Deadspin posted this legendary picture of Jason Dufner hanging out with kids at a charity event in Irving, Texas, #Dufnering has become a trending meme on the internets. Here are some of the best from the pros, along with others around the Twittersphere…


Guess who bought Tiger’s old house?

This guy.

Masters champ Bubba Watson has made no secret of his imminent move to Florida’s exclusive Isleworth Estate, but until this afternoon, he’d neglected to mention one crucial fact: the house he’ll soon call home was once owned — and inhabited, no less! –  by a certain 14-time major champion. (continue reading…)


VIDEO: Golf Boys 2.Oh, Oh, Oh! (Yes, that just happened)

Okay, I’m not going to lie — I giggled and even laughed out loud a few times watching “2.Oh,” the encore performance of “Golf Boys,” a group consisting of Ben Crane, Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler and Hunter Mahan.

The song was written by Mat Kearney.

As you may recall, the group released their international debut in June 2011. A second music video was not in the original plans, but apparently the golfers finally gave in after relentless requests from fans.

There you go, everyone! Enjoy.  (continue reading…)




  • About Me

    Hi! My name is Stephanie Wei. I grew up in Seattle. I live in Manhattan, NYC. I played competitive golf for ten years in the junior and college ranks. I went to Yale, where I played on the women's golf team and graduated in '05 with a B.A. in History.

    I still enjoy pegging it, but don't ask me my handicap because I stopped keeping one when I left for college. More important, I'm feisty and I like to smile a lot. I also love sports, spandex and surprises.

    I'm a freelance writer and reporter, as well as a contributor for Sports Illustrated Golf+.
