Holly Sonders: If You Don’t Like The Memorial, You Don’t Know Jack

For all eight people who watched the action last week at the Charles Schwab Championship, you know Jason Kokrak (?) walked away a winner. If you can actually prove you put your money on this 50-1 longshot to win, you can take me out to a fine seafood dinner and never call me again. I’ll have the lobster, you get the red snapper.

Onward and upward. This week’s PGA TOUR stop is the milkshake that brings all the boys to Jack’s yard.  And I mean that quite literally. The Memorial Tournament is known for serving a delicious variety of milkshakes that players can’t get enough of. It’s also hosted by Jack Nicklaus, with whom I’m pretty certain you’re familiar.

The Memorial also has personal significance to me since I grew up in a shitbag town 20 minutes outside of Dublin, Ohio, and the event was a highlight for me every year growing up. It gave all my Ohio high school girlfriends a purpose: wearing miniskirts to the course (no panties of course) in an attempt to attract a rich husband. Ahh, good times. 

I was the dork who just wanted to interview these guys though. And it’s where my internship at WBNS first allowed me to do so in 2010. Did I get them any useable content? Fuck no, I sucked on TV at that point. But I digress. 

Let’s make you some money this week. All odds are from FanDuel. After you win, make sure to drop some cash at my website.
