MJ’S SECRET: COACH REVEALS THE PROFOUND REASON MICHAEL JORDAN CHOSE GOLF OVER EVERYTHING
Michael Jordan isn't just a casual golfer. Discover the deep philosophy behind MJ's obsession and his secret to mastering life.
Everybody knows Michael Jordan is one of the fiercest competitors out there. Didn’t matter if he was tearing it up with the Bulls, locked in over a game of cards, or battling it out on the golf course; if Jordan showed up, he showed up to win. And you felt it.
After his NBA days, Jordan dived headfirst into golf. He basically lives on the course now and owns his own place, The Grove XXIII, which he designed just for his style of play. He’s famous for taking on top PGA pros and pretty much anyone who thinks they can keep up.
But here’s the wild part: the reason Jordan loves golf isn’t just about the competition. It’s actually something deeper, and PGA Tour coach Adam Schriber still gets chills thinking about it.
Adam Schriber has coached big names like US Open champ JJ Spaun and LIV Golf winner Anthony Kim, and he spent a lot of time around Jordan, too. One day, Schriber asked Jordan what made him care so much about golf. The answer? It stuck with him ever since.
Schriber tells it like this: “Back when Jordan was coming back to basketball from baseball, we were in Orlando for the All-Star game. He played nine holes with Nick Price and Mark O’Meara. Shot a 50, which, honestly, is rough for someone as good as MJ. So I’m driving him back to the arena, and everybody’s talking. ‘Oh, MJ could play in the NFL, he could do baseball, he could even make it on the PGA Tour if he wanted.’ But I’d just watched him shoot 50 on nine holes. He could hit the ball, but great athletes find out fast that golf is a whole different deal.
We’re driving, just talking, and I ask him, ‘What is it about golf that’s got you hooked?’ And he just let it rip. I wish I’d recorded it, because, man, everything he said was spot on.
He told me, ‘You can’t get ahead of yourself. You have to stay in the moment. You have to control your expectations.’ The stuff he said sounded like it was straight from the world’s best sports psychologist.
And then he hits me with this: ‘You know what? It flipping mirrors life.’ I still get chills just repeating that.
Everything you learn playing golf – messing up, learning from it, not repeating the same mistakes – it all mirrors real life. Golf teaches you the kind of maturity you need to handle the tough stuff.”
So yeah, if you want to get better at rolling with the punches in life, maybe grab some clubs and head out to the course.
When it comes to golf, Jordan doesn’t treat it like a casual hobby; it’s more like a second career. He brings that same fire he had in the NBA, sometimes playing 36, even 54, holes in a single day. He’s not just another celebrity swinging a club; he lives and breathes the game.
Jordan’s handicap usually floats between 1.9 and 5.0, putting him in the top 1% of amateurs. Sure, he doesn’t have the polished swing of a tour pro, but his athleticism, those huge hands, and his 6’6” frame let him generate serious power.
Guys like Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas, who’ve played with him, say people sleep on his short game and putting. When the money’s on the line, that’s where he really shines. And get this: at The Grove XXIII, the course is set up to fit his favourite shots, so good luck beating him there.
In the end, Jordan’s golf game is all about high-level skill and insane mental toughness. He never made the PGA Tour, but the way he plays, most amateurs don’t stand a chance.
THE CRUEL MISTAKE: WHY MAKHACHEV THINKS GARRY’S TWO-MONTH WRESTLING CAMP IS A FAILURE
Islam Makhachev isn't impressed by Ian Garry. Discover why the champ thinks Garry's Georgia trip is a "cruel mistake" for 2026.
Islam Makhachev doesn’t buy the idea that Ian Machado Garry can just spend a couple of months working on his wrestling and suddenly be ready to face him.
Ever since Makhachev grabbed the UFC welterweight belt last November, he’s been getting called out left and right by Garry. The Irishman’s convinced he’s the real top contender at 170, especially after stacking wins over Carlos Prates and Belal Muhammad. He’s now ranked number two, and even though he isn’t locked in as the next title challenger, Garry’s making noise and prepping like he’s on deck.
Earlier this week, Garry had fans buzzing after he posted a photo from the airport, about to board a flight to Tbilisi, Georgia. He’s said before that if he ever fought Makhachev, he’d head to Georgia to sharpen his wrestling with the best around. Naturally, everyone started speculating that the fight was happening soon.
But Makhachev isn’t impressed. He called Garry’s trip a “cruel mistake,” saying two or three months in a wrestling camp won’t cut it. “I’ve said it before; it’s a mistake for fighters to think they can just join a camp for a couple of months and be ready,” he told Ushatayka. “Honestly, it just sets them up for failure. You go somewhere for a short time, start to believe you’ve really improved, and then it all falls apart in the cage. Nobody learns to wrestle in two or three months. You have to start as a kid and keep at it for years.”
Despite all the hype, Makhachev says there haven’t been any real talks with the UFC about facing Garry. “I’ve just seen the rumours online, to be honest. No one from the UFC has talked to me about that fight specifically.”
Still, Makhachev’s aiming to return in June. Maybe it’ll be at the UFC’s White House event, maybe right after. Either way, he’s getting ready, opponent or not.
WHY LUIS GIL’S HEALTH IS THE BIGGEST STORY AT YANKEES CAMP TODAY
Luis Gil is hitting 96 MPH again! Discover why the Yankees are optimistic about a 2026 rebound after his 2025 injury struggles.
The Yankees couldn’t have been thrilled with Luis Gil last season, no matter how shiny his ERA looked. His strikeouts dropped, his walks shot up, and he just didn’t look like the same guy. Watching one of the hardest-throwing starters in the game suddenly mix in 92-93 MPH fastballs in 2024, yeah, that felt desperate. He was just trying to find the strike zone any way he could.
It all started with that late injury in the middle of spring training. He sat out until after the All-Star Break, then got thrown right into the chaos of the AL East race. Not exactly ideal.
But this year? Things feel different. Gil got through the offseason healthy, and people around the Yankees seem genuinely optimistic about him. Early bullpen sessions have him sitting 94-96 MPH, and that’s the kind of news that makes you think he could actually get back to his old self in what’s shaping up to be a huge year for him.
Last year, Gil opened the season firing 96 MPH four-seamers, but by the end, the heat faded. Over his final six starts, his fastball averaged 94.9 MPH, and his FIP ballooned to 5.10. The ERA hid a lot of cracks. The Yankees clearly noticed too; they turned to Cam Schlittler in a Wild Card game instead of Gil. When his fastball loses that zip, Gil becomes way too hittable. But lately, he’s been back in that 94-96 MPH range during live bullpens, and that’s a real positive sign for his health heading into 2025.
Velocity does more than just light up the radar gun. It gives his four-seamer that extra ride, makes his whole pitch mix tougher to read, and keeps hitters off balance. Last year, Gil’s fastball whiff rate dropped from 28.5% to 18.8%, and hitters started crushing him more often; his xwOBA jumped from .315 to .360. More contact, more damage. That kind of slide tanked his strikeout rate by 10%, and every start looked like a grind.
If Gil’s fastball is truly back, the rest of his arsenal opens up. His slider and changeup work better, and suddenly, that Yankees super-rotation they’ve been chasing doesn’t sound so far-fetched. Adding Max Fried was supposed to give them an elite one-two punch with Gerrit Cole, but Fried missed the whole year with Tommy John.
Gil, meanwhile, slipped from a dependable middle-of-the-rotation guy to a shaky backend starter with command issues serious enough to put the whole bullpen at risk. Getting him healthy would change everything. It’d push guys like Will Warren and Ryan Weathers down the depth chart and give the Yankees some real firepower in the rotation.
There’s a clear link between fastball velocity and run prevention. If Gil can keep his heater where it was back in 2024, the rest should fall into place. A bounce-back year isn’t just possible; it’s right there for the taking.
