**Golf stars, like Tiger Woods, guarded but open up to dad talk**
Golfers are notoriously private people but there’s one thing that can get them talking — their kids. Rory McIlroy has been called a “grumpus” by critics but he couldn’t hide his joy as he spoke about the impending birth of his first child with wife Erica Stoll.
Woods, famously guarded about his private life, practically beamed when he was asked about his son’s burgeoning golf talent. He even indulges in dad jokes, responding to a question about playing golf with his son by quipping, “If I’m not playing well, it looks like a good time to quit.”

**Ball Position: A Key Factor in Golf**
Ball position is a crucial factor in golf, and can greatly affect the outcome of your shot. In general, the shorter the club you are using, the closer the ball should be to your body. For example, with a wedge, you would position the ball in the middle of your stance. With a driver, you would move the ball forward towards your left foot (if you are right-handed).
Experiment with different ball positions and find what works best for you. Just remember, proper ball position can make all the difference between a great shot and a frustrating miss.

New father and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler says he has no concerns over a lack of sharpness or fatigue at the PGA Championship, beginning at Southern Hills on Thursday. Scheffler kept his hot streak alive by winning the Masters a month after becoming a first-time father. He has since finished runner-up at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans before sitting out last week’s Wells Fargo Championship. “Coming back into it this week, I hope I’m ready to go,” said Scheffler. “I think the adrenaline takes over and you do what you’ve got to do. No matter if you’ve played a lot or not, once the gun goes off this week, it’s all hands on deck.”

The recent power struggle within professional golf highlights a broader societal shift in the balance between tradition and new methods. The core of the debate revolves around the tension between established players and governing bodies clinging to predefined norms and innovative thinkers embracing change. This paradigm parallels the larger debate about preserving established societal institutions and seeking progressive alternatives. Some see the clash as a reflection of the generational divide, with younger players demanding a more forward-looking approach.
