When did you first pick up a golf club.. I must have been about eight or nine when I first had a swing. I had a club – must have been my dad’s I guess – and I took it up to the playing fields at my school with half-a-dozen balls and just hit them back and forth. I joined my first golf club, Catterick, when I was about 12. It’s right by Catterick Garrison army camp in North Yorkshire. I used to get dropped off at the club in the summer holidays and me and three other mates would…
Ever since Evan Fournier landed in Greece, he’s been dominating the European competitions with Olympiacos Piraeus, his new team. Inn a recent interview, the French player shared his perspective on adapting to his new life, and talked about the never-ending debate between the NBA and the EuroLeague.

The 2024 Golden Goggles Awards auction is live with exactly 500 items up for bidding at the sport’s annual award show. The money earned from the auction helps to cover the cost of the annual gala, with leftover money going to the USA Swimming Foundation. This year’s batch lacks some of the “you can only get this experience here” that the auction has had in the last few seasons like cooking with an athlete or being a “broadcaster for a day” with the NBC crew, but there are still a lot of great items up for grabs I’ve picked out some…

The last time it won a regional was 2006, which is…
