The Masters golf tournament officially starts tomorrow (Thursday), but plenty of golfers have gathered to get things going. One golfer -- Jon Rahm -- was at Augusta National yesterday (Tuesday) to take part in a long-time tradition of dropping a ball and trying to skip it across the pond at hole 16. Jon dropped the ball. Jon hit the ball with his 5-iron. The ball skipped across the pond… and went into the hole. No joke. He skipped a ball across a pond and hit a hole-in-one. It was just a practice shot, of course, but Rahm must be hoping his luck continues as [...]

Ozzy Osbourne did a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" session on Tuesday afternoon, and he had some interesting responses to the thousands of questions asked. If you could go back in time and change just one thing what would it be? I would make sure Randy [Rhoads] never got on that plane. What's your favorite Pink Floyd album? Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall or Obscured by Clouds. Is there someone that you've always wanted to collaborate with on a song? I'd love to do something with Paul McCartney, but I doubt that will happen. What is one thing you tell to someone that can motivate them to stop doing drugs? I'm lucky. Everyone [...]
