At the Sentry Tournament of Champions, where Marc Leishman leads the season opener, Rickie Fowler’s Hawaiian shirt by Puma generated much discussion given the untucked look. I give it an A for execution on all levels.

@RickieFowler is tied for the lead! 🔥🐦🐦🐦🔥

Speaking of outfits...the buildup to Carnoustie has begun. Check out that look from Tommy Armour, 1931 winner of The Open at this year's host venue.

#TBT to June 1931 when Tommy Armour won The Open at Carnoustie. Tommy was an unusual victor because he only had one eye, having lost the other during World War I.

Ogilvy-Clayton and friends have created a new 19th hole at Kingston Heath and it's now finished.

New 19 at Kingston Heath. Opens Jan 6. 160y. Always interesting to redo your own work - and make it better. @occmgolf

History time! Jack Nicklaus cashed his first check 56 years ago today playing the L.A. Open at Rancho. Thanks reader AG.

On this day in 1962, Jack Nicklaus teed off for the first time as a professional at the Los Angeles Open. #TBT

Ok, this is a week old, the weather has gotten much worse, but this dog sledding is still spectacular and going viral:

Sledding!❄❤ We finally got enough snow to really sled yesterday and Secret couldn't be more thrilled! It's definitely one of her favorite activities, she probably went down this hill 50 times today!😂💞 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow my Pawtners @marvelous_marble_ @bluebearaussie
