Netflix's 'Full Swing' Star Hit With Unfortunate News
Netflix's 'Full Swing' Star Hit With Unfortunate News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It hurts more when it feels personal. Especially when the bond seemed unbreakable, on and off the golf course. Advertisement This week, Joel Dahmen and Geno Bonnalie, perhaps the most adored player-caddie duo on the PGA Tour, decided to part ways. Fans first learned of the news through Matt Gannon. Soon after, Skratch's Dan Rapaport confirmed it with a direct quote from Dahmen himself: 'It was time. We had a great run.' That 'run' wasn't just about golf. These two weren't just teammates; they were best friends. Their bromance became the emotional heart of Full Swing on Netflix. Season 2 even showed them tearing up mid-flight when Dahmen told Geno, 'I love the f--- out of you.' Now, it's over. The split adds to a growing list of big-name shake-ups this season. Max Homa and Joe Greiner? Gone. Collin Morikawa and J.J. Jakovac? Done. Even Tom Kim and Paul Tesori broke up this week. This isn't just a trend, it's a full-blown caddie carousel. Advertisement Dahmen, meanwhile, is having a rough patch. He's winless since 2021 and ranked No. 172 in the world. He's hanging onto his PGA Tour card by a thread, finishing No. 124 in last year's FedExCup standings. This year, only the top 100 will get full status for 2026, and he's sitting at 96th.

For now, he's more visible off the course, doing commentary and making appearances. But after 10 years together, it's clear this wasn't an easy decision for either of them. Dahmen tees it up this week at the Barracuda Championship. A new caddie will be there. But for fans, something will be missing.

6 Foods Science Shows Are More Hydrating Than Water
We are currently in the thick of summer and sweating in the sweltering heat. So, now is the best time to reassess your hydration goals. Are you drinking enough water? Dehydration symptoms include muscle cramps, headaches, fatigue and dry skin. It's particularly important that you pay attention to your hydration levels during these hot, sticky months. Most people will tell you to drink more water to stay hydrated. While that's the best way, what do you do if you don't enjoy it? Fortunately, according to an expert, there are hydrating foods full of electrolytes that can help you replenish your body's minerals while satisfying your thirst. These are the top hydrating foods to focus on this summer. How to tell if you're hydrated Hydration needs vary based on your size, activity level and how much you sweat. Gabriela Barreto, a registered dietitian and sports nutritionist says there are two indicators of hydration level: your thirst and the color of your urine. "Drinking to thirst can be appropriate for most individuals to maintain their hydration levels and as for urine, you're looking for a pale yellow color," says Barreto. She says the only times you shouldn't be concerned about the color of your urine are during your first pee of the morning because it tends to be dark, or if you are taking vitamin B supplements, which make urine more likely to appear bright yellow. Barreto recommends that besides food and water, a hydration supplement such as Skratch can benefit individuals with active jobs and people who work out or spend a lot of time in the heat outdoors. "Utilizing a hydration product can be useful to increase your body's water stores," she says. "I recommend a hydration product with 300 to 500 milligrams of sodium and preferably about 20 grams of carbohydrates." Keep in mind an electrolyte drink without carbohydrates will help with rehydration, too, just not as efficiently. So make sure to read the labels first to choose the best option for your needs. A glass is water is not the only option if you are foods are most hydrating? Most foods contain some amount of water, but it probably won't surprise you to learn that fruits and vegetables are at the top of the list. To get the most out of these hydrating fruits and vegetables, make sure you follow standard dietary guidelines. Barreto says, "Dietary guidelines recommend two to three servings of fruit and three to four servings of vegetables for most adults." There are no specific guidelines for hydrating fruits and veggies, but by eating the daily recommended amount of produce you will be adding to your hydration, she says. It is estimated that 20% to 30% of fluid needs can come from food, including fruits and veggies. By combining certain foods, you can boost your hydration. "When looking to adequately rehydrate, carbohydrates, fluid and sodium are key," says Barreto, adding, "Carbohydrates are important for optimizing water and sodium absorption in the body." Watermelon and other melons Watermelon isn't just a fruit that is synonymous with summer, it's also highly hydrating. It's made up of 92% water and has antioxidants, important nutrients like vitamins A and C, magnesium, fiber and lycopene (a pigment found in red, yellow or orange-colored fruits and vegetables). Other melons such as cantaloupe are also made up of 90% water and are a good source of potassium, folate, as well as vitamins A and C. Barreto says one hydrating recipe to try is a cucumber and watermelon salad with lime, mint and salty feta. As previously mentioned, the sodium and carbohydrates will help the body easily absorb the water from the fruit. Barreto points out that for this reason, you'll also notice some sports dietitians recommend sprinkling some salt on your watermelon. Cucumbers Cucumbers are made up of 95% water and consist of vitamins like vitamin K, magnesium and potassium. This refreshing veggie can be easily added to salads, sandwiches, water or eaten on its own. Its high water content also makes it a low-calorie vegetable and is an ideal food to add to your diet if you're looking to lose weight and feel full longer. Squash This versatile vegetable does well as an addition to soups, stir-fries, salads and as a side. Popular summer squashes like zucchini are a good source of vitamin C, potassium and fiber and are made up of 94% water. The high water and fiber content will keep you full and hydrated for an extended period. Strawberries This popular summer fruit is full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, manganese and folate. It's an easy fruit to add into smoothies, yogurt, salads or eat on its own. Strawberries are made up of 91% water, making them the perfect fruit to quench your thirst and satisfy your sweet tooth. Many seasonal fruits and vegetables can help keep you hydrated. Getty Images Lettuce and other leafy greens Make a salad out of lettuce and other greens like lettuce, watercress, spinach or bok choy, which have high water content and provide lots of vitamins and minerals. Lettuce consists of 96% water and has folate, fiber and vitamins K and A. Spinach is high in iron, folic acid, calcium and vitamins C and A. Watercress, meanwhile, provides 100% of the recommended dietary intake for vitamin K, which is an essential nutrient for blood clotting and maintaining healthy bones. Bok choy is abundant in vitamins K and C, which means any combination of these greens is guaranteed to provide you with a salad full of nutrients. Citrus fruits If you enjoy oranges, grapefruits, limes and other citrus fruits, then eat up. Citrus fruits tend to be made up of about 80% water, making them good options for hydration. They are also high in vitamin C and fiber and are good for supporting your immune system. They're even versatile enough to add to fruit salads, eat on their own, add to water or salads and even as a marinade for proteins, such as chicken or fish.

Bryson DeChambeau praises Oakmont by smashing US Open course he won at
The post Bryson DeChambeau praises Oakmont by smashing US Open course he won at appeared first on ClutchPoints. The US Open is just days away from kicking off at Oakmont Country Club outside of Pittsburgh. Defending US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau is on site and finished his practice round on Tuesday. When asked about the course, he compared it to Winged Foot, where he won the 2020 title. But he did not in a way that praises the course in Westchester County, New York. Advertisement 'It's not like every single hole is Winged Foot out here. You can't just bomb it on every single hole and blast over bunkers and have a wedge run up to the front of the green,' DeChambeau said in his press conference, per Dan Rapoport of Skratch. DeChambeau blitzed the field on Sunday at Winged Foot in 2020. He started the day two shots behind Matthew Wolff and shot three-under par to win by six. He was the only player to shoot under par on that Sunday and the only one to finish the tournament under par. That tournament rewarded length off the tee, which DeChambeau had just prioritized throughout the pandemic pause. The fairways were so narrow that even the short hitters were ending up in the rough. So DeChambeau's bruising length provided an advantage with no flip side to the coin. He says the 2025 US Open will not reward that, which the 2024 one did not either. When DeChambeau won at Pinehurst in 2024, Rory McIlroy outdrove him in the strokes gained stat, according to DataGolf. DeChambeau won that tournament with his incredible bunker shot on 18 and solid putting all week. That puts him firmly in contention for the title at Oakmont, which would make him the third three-time winner in the tournament's history. Advertisement The first round of the US Open is on Thursday at Oakmont Country Club. DeChambeau is playing with Xander Schauffele and Jose Luis Ballaster at 7:29 A.M.

Paige Spiranac Got 'Greatest Experience of my Life' with Tiger Woods
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Any golf fan would give almost anything for a lesson from the legendary Tiger Woods. Well, the equally famous Paige Spiranac had that opportunity, and naturally, it was unforgettable. Spiranac recounted the experience during a recent interview on the Vanity Index podcast by Skratch. The former pro player and current influencer also revealed what impressed her most about Woods—and it wasn't precisely his golf skills. "He gave me a chipping lesson once. It was like the greatest experience of my life," Spiranac said. "He smells so good, by the way... like that was the first thing I noticed." "I remember he hugged me, and he smelled so good, and I didn't take my jacket off or wash it for an embarrassingly long time because I was like, 'I feel and smell like a winner,'" she added. Of course, the moment also involved the highest quality of golf. Spiranac described the lesson she received from Tiger Woods just as you would expect from such an opportunity. "We were doing this low little spinny shot and so we opened the club up almost like on your back, open stance, narrow choke down, and you take it out and almost slice across it and it's you hit it with like a 54 [degree wedge] it comes out low and then checks on the second bounce. It's a really cool shot. He did [demonstrate it] and it was perfect." Paige Spiranac is the golf personality with the most followers on social media. She is currently followed by more than one million X users, more than four million on Instagram and more than 1.4 million on TikTok. Her YouTube channel has over 445,000 subscribers.

Last year, Spiranac revealed that she had given up on a professional golf career because life on the tour was too emotionally demanding for her.

Charley Hull didn't seem happy during first round of US Women's Open —with one dramatic theory emerging
Charley Hull could have used a smoke on Thursday. The British golfing star was shown looking exasperated throughout the first round of the U.S. Women's Open while playing alongside Nelly Korda and Lexi Thompson. Hull is known for playing at a brisk pace and did not seem happy at times with Thompson. Advertisement 'Charley was antsy as ever to play her next shot. She was putting her club back in the bag before it even reached the apex,' a reporter said after tracking the group on the back nine of Erin Hills. 'She was running ahead to get to her ball before anyone else could. And just generally giving us that great Charley Hull content.' Advertisement There seems to be little doubt that Hull was annoyed as play was slow on the challenging course, however, there was some question as to whether it was directed at Thompson. 3 Charley Hull watches on during the first round of the US Women's Open on May 29, 2025. AP Hull, 29, struggled for early parts of the round before a pair of back-nine birdies helped her finish even par. Advertisement 'For context, both Hull and Korda looked visibly frustrated on the front nine as I followed along—neither was playing well,' wrote Skratch's Addie Parker, who was covering the group. 'Hull had several poor reads, and missed putts. She'd miss crucial fairways (at Erin Hills every fairway is crucial) finding herself in bunkers… Ultimately the problem (if you want to call it one) lies in Korda and Hull being two of the fastest players on the LPGA Tour, if you put anyone with them, that third party will look slow.' 3 Lexi Thompson during the first round of the US Women's Open. Getty Images Parker further noted that there was a 'very obvious dynamic' with Korda and Hull talking on the sixth tee, while Thompson talked separately with her caddie. Advertisement The group is the featured one of the first two rounds — Korda is the top player in the world, Hull rocketed to viral fame after she was seen smoking at this tournament last season (she's since quit) and Thompson is a popular veteran who only plays occasionally. 3 Charley Hull tees off on the third hole at Erin Hills. Getty Images Korda finished even par after the first round, thanks to a birdie on 18, and Thompson finished 1-over. The trio was back on the Wisconsin course early Friday in the second round, with Korda off to a hot start to shoot her into contention.
