How to survive the next month of your life without the PGA Tour

Golfer on a Rainy Day Leaving the Golf Course

We are in unprecedented times. On Thursday night, the PGA Tour cancelled the remaining rounds of the Players Championship and suspended operations for the next three weeks due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. With their announcement, professional sports in America effectively ground to halt, leaving fans with nothing to do for the next month but practice their elbow daps, learn chess, and make little Coronavirus babies. In two weeks time, we all be grasping for something—ANYTHING GOD HELP US—to help fill the golf-less void in our lives. In a month, we'll be scribbling "yorlIcM" on the walls and announcing old Master highlights with our refrigerator playing the role of Jim Nantz. Before we go full survivalist, however, let's grab those medical mask, hit the CBD like Cheech and Chong, and try to relax, because we have a couple of ideas to not only help us survive, but thrive over the course of the next 30 however many cold, barren, golfless days.
