Golf - The Sandbelt Boom
The Fall Line (East) in Mauk, GA is Golf Digest's Best New Private of 2025. OCM routed London heathland through 5,000 acres of Georgia sand — and capped membership around 100.
Its sister, Fall Line West, goes full Melbourne Sandbelt — flashed bunkers running right to the green edges, a look never before built in America.
Broomsedge in Rembert, SC took second. New owners Baker Thompson and Michael Keiser Jr. plan limited outside play — get on the list now.
The Keep at McLemore hangs off Lookout Mountain, 300 feet above the valley. Five holes ride the cliff edge — few inland views anywhere come close.
The Roost at Cabot Citrus Farms is the calm counterpunch to Karoo — moss-draped oaks and Rod Whitman greens an hour north of Tampa. Public, and bookable.
Pinehurst No. 10 is Tom Doak on an old sand mine — walking only, 8-9-10 the run to remember. Coore & Crenshaw's No. 11 is next door.
On deck: Aiken's Tree Farm and Old Barnwell debuted inside South Carolina's top five, and Fenmoor becomes Reynolds Lake Oconee's eighth course this fall.
Turn it to …
Music - Albert Hall to the Hollywood Bowl
Cream's Farewell Concert, Royal Albert Hall, Nov. 26, 1968. The film's sound is famously muddy — the energy isn't. Start with "White Room."
Before that goodbye: the Goodbye Tour through Oakland, San Diego and the LA Forum. "Spoonful" at the Forum is the deep cut.
The March 1968 Fillmore and Winterland runs are peak Cream — the source of the live Wheels of Fire, now expanded to three LPs.
Thirty-seven years later, same stage: the 2005 reunion "White Room". Then watch Jack Bruce own "Stormy Monday" on fretless.
The Doors at the Hollywood Bowl, July 5, 1968 — widely called their best show on film. Don't skip "Moonlight Drive."
Two months later they took Europe: The Doors Are Open at London's Roundhouse, then a Copenhagen set Rhino finally released last November.
The last Doors concert ever filmed: Isle of Wight, 2 a.m., Aug. 30, 1970, 600,000 people. Morrison barely moves — and still owns "Light My Fire."

Time to Eat…
Food - Life After Ribeye
Swordfish is the gateway — thick, meaty, takes grill marks like a strip. Olive oil, lemon, done.
Pork shoulder steaks are the most underrated cut at the counter. Cheap, marbled, and fast over high heat.
Spatchcock a whole chicken. Flat bird, even cook, crackling skin — it's the move for a crowd.
Lamb: a butterflied leg over direct heat, or shoulder chops with pimentón if it's just two of you.
Ask your fish counter for halibut or yellowtail collars. It's what Dallas chef Andrew Bell grills at home — fatty, crispy, cheap.
A whole tandoori cauliflower will steal the table. The charred edges are the point.
Finish with grilled peaches. Five minutes, a scoop of vanilla — no one misses dessert.
Tell your people you love them…
Relationships - The Two-Letter Word
Every yes is a no to something else — your sleep, your people, your actual work. William Ury built a whole book on it.
Columbia research says we say yes mainly to dodge the discomfort of no. Most people won't think less of you — they tend to respect you more.
Decide your no before the ask comes. A rehearsed line beats in-the-moment willpower every time.
A no isn't a choice between conflict and staying friends. Say it neutrally, with a reason, and move on.
A clear no is kinder than a maybe that quietly turns into a no three weeks later.
Who in your circle tells you no? If nobody does, you don't have advisors — you have an audience.
Your yes only means something if your no is real.
OMAHA…
Football - Way-Too-Early Round One
The 2027 Draft runs April 29–May 1. Track the order live on Tankathon and every mock on Mock Draft Database.
Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith is the consensus best player — No. 1 on PFF's board, 5.42 yards per route run. WalterFootball and DraftTek send him to Miami.
The QB class is the story — PFF puts five in Round 1: Drew Mestemaker, Dante Moore, CJ Carr, Austin Simmons, Trinidad Chambliss. CBS has Mestemaker going first.
Arch Manning is the wild card. PFF leaves him out entirely, betting he returns to Texas.
Best defender: Notre Dame CB Leonard Moore — six catches allowed on 130 coverage snaps. Texas EDGE Colin Simmons is right behind him.
The Jets hold three first-rounders (9, 11, 12) — the team that decides how this draft goes.
Atlanta at 14: LSU OT Jordan Seaton, the heir to Jake Matthews' left tackle spot in his 13th season.
On the road again…
Travel - Tigers, Trevally, and the Mountain Kingdom
Tanzania's Mnyera and Ruhudji Rivers are the trophy tigerfish address — fish over 20 pounds on the fly.
Want to go now? The Lower Zambezi peaks September through early November. The Upper Zambezi is your May–July play.
The Okavango Delta is tigerfish in a totally different world — fish crashing baitfish schools in Botswana's channels.
Alphonse Island, Seychelles — a five-star resort on bonefish flats. It accounts for 90%+ of the world's released milkfish.
Cosmoledo and Astove are giant trevally country — GTs over a meter, regularly. No Wi-Fi, no crowds.
Lesotho's Bokong River is sight-fishing for yellowfish on dry flies. The season opens in November.
For the truly unhinged: Gassa Camp, Cameroon — Nile perch and three species of tigerfish. Pick the fish first, then build the trip around it.
Take care of yourself…
Exercise - Seven Moves, No Gym
The format: 30 seconds on, 15 off, three rounds. Step 1 — reverse lunges, alternating legs.
Step 2 — pike push-ups. Hips high, head toward the floor — shoulders without a single dumbbell.
Step 3 — single-leg glute bridges. Drive through the heel and hold at the top.
Step 4 — mountain climbers. Fast knees, flat back.
Step 5 — chair dips. Elbows straight back, not out.
Step 6 — side plank with a reach under. Both sides.
Step 7 — burpees to finish. Nobody posts their October workouts — but that's the work that shows up on the first tee in April.
