LPGA Tour player, Charley Hull, is one of the most popular women’s golfers on the planet. The 28-year-old is a great golfer, but recently has gained popularity due to the fact that openly smokes cigarettes on the golf course during events.

This past weekend, Hull was once involved with a cigarette on the golf course, this time signing one for a fan.

A signed cigarette is quite the souvenir, and I’d imagine that one cigarette that will never be smoked.

On Monday, the popular social media account, “Monday Q Info”, posted an interview with Nick Bienz, who is a Golf Galaxy employee that Monday qualified into this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic.

Nick Bienz has never played a pga tour sanctioned event. He has never played an event bigger than a state open. He pounded 3 beers before the playoff.

Bienz was drinking a few beers prior to the playoff, and managed to get himself in.

If this four minutes doesn’t make you love Mondays I can’t help you.

The interview with Bienz is about four minutes long but absolutely worth watching.

After he got in the field at Detroit Golf Club, Bienz sent a text to Ryan French of “Monday Q Info”.

Last week, DP World Tour player John Catlin took the spot of the injured Charles Howell III on Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers team for LIV Nashville.

The 33-year-old played extremely well, finishing T7 and making $562,500 in the process.

After the event, Catlin said he’d love to join LIV full time.

“I’d be lying if I said it didn’t creep in there, but again, I don’t really have any control over that. That’s up to the captains. That’s up to managers. That’s up to the team organization.”

“If I just keep doing what I’m doing, things are going to work out, and I’m going to keep putting in the work, and I hope I get more opportunities to showcase what I can do.

“I can tell you that right now; I would love to be out here.”

Catlin got the opportunity due to his strong play on the Asian Tour, where he won two events this season.

He currently leads the Asian Tour International Series Order of Merit, of which the winner receives a LIV exemption for 2025.

Catlin added that he enjoys the format and atmosphere on LIV.

“I’m loving it, I’ve always liked playing golf with music. Whenever I’m at home playing golf with my friends we always have music, so it kind of feels like that again.

“The team part is really awesome. Nowhere else do we have that. We kind of have a lot of team chemistry, team camaraderie, and I feel like that’s helped make the transition easier.

“I’ve been a pro for 11 years. I’ve played on pretty much every tour in the world. I’ve had a chance to meet all these guys before, and coming back, it just kind of felt like, hey, I haven’t seen you in a while.”

He’ll tee it up next at LIV Valderrama in a few weeks time.
