Wayfinding is an ancient Polynesian way of navigating by reading the ocean, stars and wind. No compass, no map, just deep observation, and experience passed down through generations. But because of that, wayfinding is more art than science. It's about trusting your instinct and using all your senses - and it's exactly the kind of travel Daniel Scheffler believes in, and exactly what this conversation is all about.Daniel Scheffler is one of the world's most successful travel writers, and in today's episode he and host Aaron Millar swap tales like a couple of mates having a laugh down the pub. Expect scorpion bites in Angola, voodoo ceremonies in Benin, Berber festivals in Morocco, and lots more.But between the wild stories, this episode is about something much deeper too. If you want to be inspired about not just what to see, but how to see - and how to make travel more than just Google reviews and ticking off lists - this is the episode for you.HIGHLIGHTSHear how Daniel survived a scorpion bite in Angola, three minutes from death, and the tribal leader who saved his life by sucking out the venom. Travel with Aaron to a Festival Fantasia in the foothills of Morocco's Atlas Mountains, the biggest culture shock he's ever experienced, and why that discomfort was exactly the point. Discover what it's like to sit inside a voodoo ceremony in Benin, a belief system entirely outside Daniel's own, and why he calls it one of the best things he's ever done.FIND OUT MOREDaniel Scheffler writes regularly on Substack at Without Maps find more of his writing and adventures there.And don't miss his own podcast, Wayfinder: Life-Changing Travel - if you enjoy Armchair Explorer, we think you'll love it too.Listen to Wayfinder: Life-Changing Travel on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts: Wayfinder: Life-Changing Travel on Apple PodcastsPASS IT ON:If this episode lit something up in you, do me a favor - send it to just one person.

Die wêreld-nommer-een, Scottie Scheffler, wat die sewende man sal word wat ʼn loopbaan-Grand Slam voltooi indien hy hierdie week die Amerikaanse Ope wen, sê hy sal dit nie as ʼn mislukking beskou as hy nie wen nie. Die 29-jarige Amerikaner is reeds ʼn viermalige major-kampioen. Hy spog reeds met twee Meesters-oorwinnings. Scheffler hou vol die loopbaan-Grand Slam was nog nooit ʼn motiverende faktor nie:
My Father’s Day isn’t complete until I plop down after lunch on Sunday to watch the final 18 holes of the US Open golf tournament. My wife and sons became quite familiar with my annual Father’s Day afternoon ritual. I have to grind the final five hours of this golf tournament (on television, of course) until a winner is crowned. In the event of a tie, a two-hole playoff will be held immediately following the final round. Prior to 2018, there was an 18-hole playoff conducted on Monday. The US Open is usually played on the toughest golf course which the professional golfers face all year. The last ten US Open champions have posted an average winning total of just six under par. This year’s US Open returns to a windswept tract near the eastern tip of New York’s Long Island. Shinnecock Hills was founded in 1891 and is one of the oldest golf courses in the United States. They were also one of the first American golf clubs to admit women members from its inception. This will be the fifth US Open conducted at Shinnecock Hills since 1986. Ray Floyd won that one with a one under par total. Corey Pavin won in 1995 (even par). Retief Goosen took the 2004 event at Shinnecock Hills with a four under par score. The most recent US Open held at this course was in 2018 and captured by Brooks Koepka with a one over par score. In other words, this fascinating US seaside links has a long history of playing tough for professional golfers. Watch for these holes to cause the golfers significant trouble this week Hole #7 (Rodan) – Listed at 185 yards, the par-3 7th hole at Shinnecock is a devilish short hole. The winds play havoc with shot selection off the tee. The green features a unique rodan design. That means that the green slopes away from the front portion and toward the back left side. A bad tee shot is quite likely to result in a bogey or worse here. Hole #9 (Ben Nevis) – Ben Nevis is the name of the highest peak (4,400′) in Scotland. The final par-4 on Shinnecock’s opening nine holes involves golfers playing their second shot uphill by some 20 yards against a prevailing wind into an elevated green. Once on the putting surface, some players will face a downhill putt with the wind now pushing their golf ball even faster to make par an exceptional score. Hole #11 (Hill Head) – You wouldn’t think that a short 150 yard par-3 hole would cause many of the top golfers in the world to get jittery standing on the tee box. Missing this elevated green (which looks like inverted bowl from the tee) quickly brings a bogey or double bogey into play. There are four deep sand traps surrounding the 11th hole. Add a gusty wind on the tee, and this short par-3 can wreck someone’s round in a hurry. Hole #14 (Thom’s Elbow) – This difficult par-4 plays a lengthy 520 yards and moves uphill on your second shot into the green. Don’t forget the ever-changing 15-25 mph winds which will affect both your tee shot and approach into the green. The hole was named for Shinnecock’s 55-year Scottish head golf pro named Charlie Thom. Two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw once asked Mr. Thom why the 14th hole was named after him. Thom replied, “Look at my elbow. It’s crooked. They named the 14th hole after me, because it’s crooked like my elbow. It goes back up the hill.” Which golfers are “hot” coming into the US Open? Let’s cover a few golfers who are playing well right now. Wyndham Clark – He won the US Open in 2023. Clark then went into a lengthy slump but has returned to form recently with a win at the Byron Nelson tournament in Dallas. He also posted a third place finish at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio a few weeks ago along with an 11th place finish last week at the Canadian Open. When you’re hot, you’re hot! Russell Henley – The quiet Henley won the Colonial in Fort Worth a month ago. He followed it up with a 22nd place finish at the Memorial. Henley has a tendency to play well on difficult courses. Shinnecock Hills will provide a great test of his skills this week. Matt Fitzpatrick – The winner of two events this spring on the PGA Tour, Fitzpatrick shot a closing 66 and 64 in the final two rounds of last week’s Canadian Open to finish in second place. Did you remember that this English golfer won the 2022 US Open title? His game is peaking at the right time this year for a possible second major championship win. Cameron Young – A product of nearby Scarborough, New York, Cameron Young is another two-time winner on this year’s PGA Tour. Young is going to have a boisterous crowd of New York area fans rooting for him all weekend. Now for a few top golfers who haven’t sizzled recently but may contend this week Scottie Scheffler – The world #1-ranked golfer has failed to score a victory since late January. That doesn’t mean that he’s playing poorly, though. Scheffler’s last five tournaments have produced two runner-up finishes, a third place, 12th place, and 14th. Scottie Scheffler could complete his personal career “Grand Slam” with a win at this week’s US Open. He’ll be ready. Jon Rahm – LIV Golf’s top player in 2026, Rahm won the 2021 US Open title on another tough layout at Torrey Pines in San Diego. Spain’s Jon Rahm, like Scottie Scheffler, has a way of pushing his way to the top of the leaderboard in major championships. He broke an 18 month slump with two wins on the LIV Golf tour this spring. JJ Spaun – The defending US Open champion finished sixth and 12th in his two most recent golf tournaments. Spaun’s focus and gritty style is reminiscent of another past US Open winner at Shinnecock Hills. Corey Pavin captured the 1995 US Open on this same golf course with a memorable four wood second shot from the 18th fairway to seal the victory. Tommy Fleetwood – After finally breaking through in 2025 with a win at the Tour Championship, Fleetwood’s sights are now set on winning his first major golf title. The Englishman is quite familiar with seaside links after beginning his professional golf career on the European circuit. Fleetwood is overdue for his first major championship triumph. Don’t overlook these former US Open winners this week! Rory McIlroy – Rory’s first major title was a US Open. He won the 2011 US Open at Congressional near Washington, DC by a whopping eight shots. The deep rough at Shinnecock Hills will punish Rory if his recent issues with errant drives continue. Bryson DeChambeau – Inconsistency has been the only consistent portion of Bryson DeChambeau’s game this season. The two-time US Open champion (2020 and 2024) missed the cut at both The Masters and PGA Championship this year. However, he won twice in March on the LIV Golf Tour. DeChambeau, like McIlroy, must hit more fairways off the tee this week at Shinnecock Hills to get into contention. Justin Rose – The 45 year old Rose is playing in his 100th consecutive major golf tournament this week. That’s a record bested only by Jack Nicklaus. The Golden Bear played in an incredible 146 straight appearances in golf’s majors. Justin Rose is the seventh ranked golfer in the world. He won the 2013 US Open at Merion Golf Club near Pittsburgh. His maturity in pressure situations could give him a chance this week. Brooks Koepka – He won the 2018 US Open on this same golf course eight years ago. Koepka has played well at times this year but hasn’t registered a win in 2026. His five major championship wins have usually been on difficult golf courses. He knows Shinnecock Hills well. If he makes the weekend cut, Brooks Koepka might be a factor on Sunday afternoon. US Open weather: The National Weather Service is calling for: Thursday – 40% chance of rain. High near 76. South winds gusting to 35 mph. Friday – Sunny. High of 77 degrees. West winds at 10-15 mph. Saturday – Sunny. High of 75 degrees.

A Monday Mini today from a wolfpacker with an unpronounceable name (or is it...), however the comment / question that this person has for Nick and Mark is about the merits of adding a 5th Mens Major, but theming it as a retro major.....everything as it was 30-40 years ago. Nick and Mark discuss how it might look, the gear, the equipment, the rules, the clothing....it's a fun chat. It will never happen, but it's a fun hypothesis to explore.Nick says that, in the event it were to happen, it would lengthen the gap between the top pros like Rory and Scheffler, and the more average pros and that if you give them a few weeks to get used to the gear, they'd nail it. Mark makes the point that the equipment then, particularly the driver, helped pros like The Shark dominate.Nick also raises some news on Tiger's young bloke Charlie that he saw last week, which we chat about - relevant to this mini as Tiger had Charlie learn on old style blades so he had to learn to find the sweet spot, it meant he lost to some players early, but the skills it formed were excellent.A fun Monday Mini today !We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Hostplus, Talk Birdie To Me's official retirement partnerBMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;The Find My Player app - follow every player on every tour;And Southern Golf Club.

Of course, it wasn't an easy road to victory with Si Woo Kim and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler chasing him down the leaderboard all weekend long. The girls dive into Si Woo's quietly stellar season, why they think a win is coming very soon… and why Syd would absolutely love to grab a drink with him someday.

Grace - A Scandalous Relief On May 17, 2026, at Skycrest Community Church, the theme of the sermon was "Grace - A Scandalous Relief," focusing on the human pursuit of status and the divine gift of grace. The Human Condition: The Pursuit of Status Pastor Chris began by addressing a universal truth: "Everybody wants to be somebody fancy." This desire for high status, he explained, is part of the human condition. People often measure their worth through various societal markers like wealth, education, and social media presence. However, this relentless pursuit can lead to "status anxiety," where one constantly questions their worth and fears not measuring up. The Biblical Perspective on Status The sermon referenced several biblical passages to contrast human efforts with divine grace. Matthew 5:20 and Matthew 5:48 were highlighted to explain that human righteousness, even that of the Pharisees, falls short of God's standard of perfection. Jesus taught that true righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and requires perfection, a standard impossible for humans to meet on their own. The Role of Grace This is where grace comes into play. Pastor Chris emphasized that through grace, God does for us what we cannot do for ourselves. By grace, God not only forgives our sins but also imputes righteousness upon us. This concept of imputation means that God regards us as righteous, not because of our deeds but because of the righteousness of Jesus. Imputation Explored The concept of imputation was further explained through Romans 4:4-8. Here, Paul discusses how righteousness is credited to us by faith, not by works. The sermon explained that God imputes our sins onto Jesus, who bears them on the cross, and in return, we receive His righteousness. This divine exchange is the essence of grace, freeing us from the burden of proving our worth to God and others. Illustrations of Status and Grace To illustrate, Pastor Chris contrasted two athletes: Naomi Osaka and Scottie Scheffler. Osaka's struggle with status anxiety, despite her achievements, highlighted the insecurity that comes from relying solely on personal success. In contrast, Scheffler found peace in knowing that his "victory was secure on the cross," demonstrating how understanding and accepting divine grace can relieve the pressure of worldly status. Living in Grace The sermon concluded with a call to live in the security of our status before God, which is secured by grace. This divine assurance should transform how we view our status among others. With our identity grounded in Christ, we are free from the relentless pursuit of status and can find peace and contentment. Reflection and Invitation Pastor Chris invited the congregation to reflect on whether they have accepted the gift of imputation and are living in the security of their status before God. He encouraged those who have not yet placed their faith in Jesus to do so, assuring them of the peace and eternal life that comes with divine grace. In essence, the sermon was a powerful reminder of the transformative power of grace, urging believers to rest in the security of their God-given status rather than striving for worldly validation. It was a call to embrace the scandalous relief that grace offers, freeing us from the chains of status anxiety and opening the door to a life of peace and fulfillment.

For one final time, Andy joins Brendan from The Shed(!) for this Sunday recording as they look back on the formative years of this podcast. It's often said that the more things change, the more they stay the same, so it's nice that Cameron Young's dominant 2026 season remains in progress despite Andy leaving The Shed behind. Mr. 1,000 blitzed the field at the inaugural Cadillac Championship, defeating World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler by six in the end. This event was practically over on Friday afternoon and Cameron secured his third PGA Tour victory despite calling a penalty on himself for his ball moving at address on a day with Preferred Lies. Brendan found the whole week at Trump Doral sleepy and wonders if there's anything the PGA Tour can do to make events between majors truly stand out. The two discuss which PGA Tour events matter on their own and nearly all occur before the Masters. Andy gives major props to Cameron Young for his continued evolution into a top three player in the world and there's a debate whether the foursome of Young, Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Matt Fitzpatrick have separated themselves from the rest of the world. In other Doral news, Adam Scott looks likely to qualify for his 100th straight major, Justin Rose's McLaren irons didn't make it out of the garage, and Alex Fitzpatrick secured a top ten finish without his brother! Brendan and Andy then run through results from the rest of the world, including a back-to-back runaway win for Nelly Korda, a famous Michael winning on the DP World Tour, and a SECOND major championship win this year for now-Ryder Cup Vice Captain Stewart Cink. Lastly, Brendan wraps up this show with some... enthusiasm for a Game 7 performance from James Harden! Visit BDraddy.com and use promo code SGS30 for 30% off your 2026 Presidents Cup gear!

Gary Williams opens with a wide-ranging look at the Ryder Cup captaincy decision, reacting to Jim Furyk's return and the criticism surrounding it. He frames Furyk as a “piñata” for fans and media while defending the broader system the United States has built since 2014, arguing that context, road losses, roster construction, and generational transitions matter more than simple results. Gary also touches on Nelly Korda's win, the evolving PGA TOUR schedule, and growing concerns around LIV Golf's stability and its impact on players and competition rhythms. Brendon de Jonge, co-host of The Wagyu Filet Show, joins Gary to break down the Furyk appointment, calling it a safe but potentially uninspiring choice while acknowledging Furyk's professionalism and experience. They debate whether the U.S. should be leaning into a younger generation of leadership and how much blame should be placed on past captaincy decisions versus structural challenges like course setup and team composition.Brendon de Jonge also shares insights from the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, highlighting the team format's growing appeal and discussing the implications of Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick's win. The conversation expands into PGA TOUR policy, questioning whether non-members should receive full access to Signature Events and what that means for competitive balance and fairness across the membership.The discussion shifts to current form across the game, with Gary and Brendon de Jonge evaluating players like Keegan Bradley, Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy, and Scottie Scheffler. They analyze who needs to find momentum ahead of the PGA Championship and whether Scheffler is on the verge of another dominant run, emphasizing how consistency and preparation separate contenders from the field as the season intensifies.Finally, Gary and Brendon de Jonge dig into the reported LIV Golf postponement and what it signals about the league's future. They explore the competitive gaps it creates for players, the uncertainty around scheduling and funding, and how it could influence decisions for top players weighing their long-term paths in professional golf.5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (Channel 92).0:00 Jim Furyk Returns as Ryder Cup Captain13:50 Brendon de Jonge 43:40 Status of LIV Golf FOLLOW 5 Clubs: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/5clubsgolf/X: https://x.com/5ClubsGolf Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/5ClubsGolf/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@5clubsgolf

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.comKyle Porter from Normal Sport is a thoughtful commentator who thinks about a lot more than just the sport he covers. So I wanted to press him on this topic, plus a few others: Is golf, with the PGA Tour now led by a former NFL exec, about to truly take off and conquer the culture? We get into the sport's eccentricities and current moment. Topics include…* Post-Tiger Woods stars: Debate on who has “juice” in golf, including Scottie Scheffler's dominance, recent struggles, and potential as the next face of the sport.* Golf's niche status: Analysis of golf remaining mostly niche amid declining monoculture, contrasted with strong participation growth post-COVID and viewer overlap with players.* NBA-golf parallels: Connections between waning NBA regular season interest and rising personal golf fandom, including entrepreneurial YouTube golf content.* Family and aging into golf: How mid-life dads (around age 40) increasingly play golf with kids due to modern parenting trends, unlike past generations.* Player personalities: Comparisons of “boring” narratives around Scheffler, Rickie Fowler, Steph Curry, and Mike Trout; Scheffler's media interactions and focus.* Golf's watchability: Why golf suits casual viewing (especially with kids), constant action without stoppages, and unique moments like shots hitting birds.* Broadcasting challenges: Importance of shot selection, pace (e.g., pitch clock analogies), and simplifying stats like strokes gained for fans.* Skill breakdowns: Tiger Woods' elite iron play and lag putting; Scheffler's mid-round adjustments, course discipline, and avoiding risky shots.* Equipment and distance: Debates on tech advances (e.g., TrackMan aiding young players like Spieth), gear's role in driving distance, and need for pro-level limits.* Rory McIlroy's appeal: His humanity, vulnerability, and post-Masters career arc as the most relatable superstar, with older players sustaining power.
Tiger Woods made an unexpected "return" to "professional golf" on Tuesday night, so Andy and Brendan! once again went LIVE on YouTube in his honor. They initially react to LAGC's blowout win over Jupiter Links in Match 2 of the TGL Finals, ending Tiger's comeback early and sending Tom Sim packing until next season. There are takeaways from the second season of TGL, ideas for the league's future, and more questions about when we'll see Tiger next. Andy submits that the only question remaining should be whether Woods can make the cut at the Masters, not whether he can compete or even finish four days of competition. Speaking of Augusta, that's the next time Scottie Scheffler will play following a WD before this week's Houston Open. Houseplant #2 is arriving at the Scheffler household just in time for Scottie's latest attempt at a green jacket. Without the Sheriff in town, Brendan runs through some notables for this week's Tour event and breaks the news of Deputy Sam Burns's new job at Raising Cane's! Andy shares his 5 Guys to Monitor as we approach crunchtime for those not yet in the Masters field. Andy and Brendan end up with the same one-and-done pick for the wide-open setup at Memorial Park, but PJ ends up using a big gun to even things out. Elsewhere on the Schedule for the Week, the DP World Tour is leaning into the absurdity of DLF and has captivated Andy with an 18-hole flyover of perhaps the best course in the world. However, the "Event of the Week" has lost some shine as a podcast favorite is not playing in this year's Indian Open. Lastly, Brendan brings this rambling episode home with yet another Masters Fact of the Day with just two weeks to go until the first major of the year.
