Meadowink Golf Course's 11th hole doesn't leave much room for error
The 11th hole at Meadowink is one of the nicest par 3's in western Pennsylvania.
It's a beautiful golf hole, but don't let that beauty fool you.
There's not much room for error with water and two sand traps surrounding the front and left sides of the green.
The tee shot provides a bit of a downhill carry to the green and shots short of the pin that make their way onto the putting surface will allow for an uphill putt.
Putts will tend to break towards the water and if you can make par there, it's a good score.

Lions' starting DT Levi Onwuzurike will miss 2025 season with torn ACL
Last season, injuries derailed a season with Super Bowl expectations for the Detroit Lions. This season is already off to a troubling start for the Lions' defense. Defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike will miss the 2025-26 season with a torn ACL, head coach Dan Campbell announced on Sunday. It was a "significant" injury, in Campbell's words, and Onwuzurike has already undergone surgery to repair the tear. The Lions were already missing defensive tackle Alim McNeill, who tore his ACL in Week 15's loss to the Buffalo Bills last season. He'll begin the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list and could return toward the end of the year. Onwuzurike has struggled with injuries ever since Detroit made him their second-round draft pick in 2021 out of Washington. He missed the entire 2022 campaign with a back injury that required spinal fusion surgery. However, he finally broke through with a solid 2024-25 season, playing 16 games and starting 10. He notched 28 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 13 quarterback hits and a tackle for loss. Campbell says he's still confident in the Lions' depth on the defensive line. The team drafted Ohio State defensive tackle Tyleik Williams in the first round (No. 28 overall), who should start on the interior line alongside DJ Reader. Williams had 46 tackles and 2.5 sacks during his senior season with the Buckeyes. "You don't like to lose anybody," Campbell said, via the Detroit Free Press. "Certainly, losing Levi, that hurts, but it helps that we've got Tyleik, so we've got a little bit of balance here." "All in all, I think we're pretty good," he added. "I like what we got in that room and really there again, man, we got an opportunity for a lot of guys." Roy Lopez, Pat O'Connor and Chris Smith are expected to contribute at defensive tackle. Meanwhile, the Lions are expected to get Aidan Hutchinson back on the edge, coming back from a broken leg. He should start at defensive end along with Marcus Davenport. The team is also looking at bringing back Za'Darius Smith, whom Detroit traded for last season but eventually cut. Detroit has also been in discussions with veteran edge rusher Matthew Judon, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Scottie hurtles toward history while Caitlin Clark's season goes sideways
The Pulse Newsletter 📣 | This is The Athletic's daily sports newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Pulse directly in your inbox. Good morning! Drink something out of your own Claret Jug today. Scottie Scheffler is already in rarified air. But a win today would make him just the fourth player in golf history to win the Masters, PGA Championship and Open Championship all before age 30. The other three are Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. We're talking about a different stratosphere. Here's where things stand atop the Open Championship leaderboard with 18 holes to play: The only weirder thing that could happen at Royal Portrush today? Scheffler conceding a four-stroke lead. It would take a miracle. The final pairing tees off at 9:30 a.m. ET, but you can follow the action all day with our live blog. Bookmark it. When we last checked in with Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever, they were having an odd, halting start to the WNBA season. Clark had been in and out of the lineup, the team had unceremoniously waived a celebrated offseason acquisition and the Fever looked like they were struggling to find their sea legs in the early going. Things are worse now, even with a Commissioner's Cup: Most distressing, Clark is hurt again, with her fourth non-contact injury of the season, all to different body parts. The timing of this one stinks; the WNBA brought its All-Star festivities to Indy this weekend, and Clark did not participate beyond her preselected role as a team captain. She missed not just the game but a highly anticipated 3-point contest appearance. Ben Pickman writes that Clark 'was set to be the affair's de facto representative.' Advertisement Her return timetable is uncertain, but a bigger concern is how long it will take for her to look fully like herself. To see Clark miss 10 games has been jolting. In four years at Iowa, she did not miss a game and only seemed to get stronger as she took on more volume. More or less everyone in the WNBA has some reason to be upset about Clark's season. The league office just put on a marquee event — in which one of the teams was called Team Clark — without Clark on the floor. Other WNBA players, especially the stars, may be getting irritated with the apocalyptic terms in which Clark's absence is sometimes discussed. After all, the league has currently superior players who are playing, headlined by Napheesa Collier, MVP of last night's All-Star Game. And then there is Clark herself, not happy about it either. So, a question for Sabreena Merchant, a women's basketball staff writer for The Athletic: Who in the WNBA is most annoyed with how Clark's year is unfolding? 💬 Clark is easily the most annoyed party at how her season has gone, with Fever fans a close second. There were such high hopes for how she would perform after a full offseason of rest and recovery, considering the giant step forward she took after the month-long Olympic break as a rookie. Instead, she has been plagued by muscle injuries, the latest causing her palpable emotional anguish as she took herself out of the game. For Fever fans who also root for the Pacers, seeing Clark struggle after already losing Tyrese Haliburton to an Achilles injury has to hurt doubly. I hadn't thought about that last point, but what a brutal few weeks for Indy basketball fans. The Hoosier State turns its lonely eyes to you, new IU men's coach Darian DeVries. WNBA stars make statement As Napheesa Collier accepted the WNBA All-Star Game MVP trophy after a record 36 points last night, chants of 'Pay them!' rang out throughout the arena. It was a reference to the increasingly contentious CBA discussions between the WNBA and the WNBPA. The All-Stars took the floor last night wearing shirts that read 'Pay Us What You Owe Us.' Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said yesterday she is confident in a new deal getting done, but the players believe there's a long way to go. Read the full report.
