The weather forecast is sublime for this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Apologies to those hoping America’s elite got rained on all week.

For reasons unclear, there is a sizable gold-brick of a flower bed off the 8th tee at Pebble Beach. Maybe it’s a placeholder for the restoration of Chandler Egan’s imitation sand dunes? Natural, it does not look.

Lee Westwood photographed one of the world’s most venomous snakes, a King Brown, when it appeared on the Lake Karrinyup CC range where he’s getting ready for the European Tour’s ISPS Hander World Super 6 in Perth.

For those still suffering a Super Bowl hangover, The Onion addresses the difficult conversation many football fathers are having with their sons...about what it means to control the ball long enough to be deemed a runner.

β€œGod, this so awkward, he was watching the Super Bowl last night, and now he has so many questions and I can’t describe how it works,” said local father Michael Dorgan, who admitted to stammering his way through an uncomfortable 10-minute explanation of what a football move is. β€œI tried bringing out a football to show him what maintaining possession means, but I think it just confused him more. And there was this painful silence after he asked about controlling the ball long enough to become a runner. How do you explain something as complicated and mysterious as that to your son? I wish he just asked his mother.” #TheOnion
