On September 6th, 2025, we break down the devastating water crisis threatening the Plantation Course at Kapalua, Bryson DeChambeau's wild trick shot challenge culminating in a Bentley giveaway, and a cricket superstar's surprising golf advocacy.


KAPALUA'S WATER CRISIS

  • The PGA Tour's season opener, The Sentry, is in serious jeopardy after Maui Land and Pineapple cut off all irrigation water to the Plantation Course. The shutdown has prompted a lawsuit from the course's owner, Tadashi Yanai.
  • "Without water, we can't do anything." - Kapalua GM Alex Nakajima.
  • The shutdown is described as 'devastating to turfgrass already depleted,' putting the iconic course and a beloved tour stop at risk of being completely lost.



BRYSON'S BENTLEY GIVEAWAY

  • After 12 days of trying, Bryson DeChambeau finally completed his viral trick shot challenge, sinking a ping pong ball into a red solo cup. To celebrate, he's giving away his custom yellow Bentley this Saturday.
  • "It's in! No way! Are you kidding me?!" - Bryson DeChambeau's ecstatic reaction.
  • The giveaway is happening live on Instagram this Saturday at 12 PM CST, turning a silly household challenge into a life-changing prize for one lucky fan.



A CRICKET LEGEND'S GOLF ADVICE

  • Indian cricket icon Yuvraj Singh is championing golf as the perfect mental escape for young, high-pressure cricketers, advising that sometimes stepping away from the nets and onto the course is the best form of practice.
  • Echoing another legend, Singh said if he'd started golf earlier, "I would have scored three thousand more runs."
  • His advice to players like Shubman Gill highlights a growing trend of using golf for mental recovery, emphasizing that "sometimes too much practice is also not good for you."
