Rules Of The Game Made Easy
If you didn't already know, the point of the game is to hit/play the ball with your clubs and try to get the golf ball into the hole with as few strokes (aka shots) as possible.

If you haven’t tried virtual golfing before, you really should. It is a totally different experience than outdoor golfing, and is very enjoyable. I will write a post in the future about why I like it so much. Maybe you tried virtual golf a long time ago, but things have changed in the last few years. The graphics are better, the rooms are comfier, and the machines are much more accurate. Some of them cameras can even pick up the spin on your ball!

Pro Golfer, Jordan Spieth’s New Dream Home
Jordan Spieth had an amazing year last year golfing with a few tournament wins and few new records. So what is a guy to do after he wins all that money? Buy a new house of course.

Apparently, Spieth is almost as good at negotiating as he is on the course, since he bought the house for just over $7 million (after the seller dropped the price to $8.5M).
There are a lot of amazing features of this house including a basketball court, 12 car garage, pedal facets in the kitchen, and so much more. I will let the pictures do all the talking. The house is breathtaking and I am happy for him because he deserves it.
