ShackHouse Episode 12: Henrik Stenson

On ShackHouse Episode 12, I discuss with Joe House his hometown's full-field Quicken Loans National, won in thrilling fashion by Billy Hurley over a diverse leaderboard, as contrasted with the no-cut, world ranking points-grab that is this week's WGC Bridgestone. We also discuss the latest news on Olympic golf and the continued chatter over the Dustin Johnson episode.

But best of all we bring you a chat with world No. 5 Henrik Stenson, fresh off his BMW International win and a favorite for The Open Championship at Royal Troon. Stenson discusses the state of his game, playing two tours, managing his body at the age of 40, excitement for the Olympics (yes, he's all in), and Dustin Johnson's win at the U.S. Open.

We kept things pretty straightforward but if you want to enjoy Stenson's lighter side, check out this recent video where Stenson must use his favorite club to hit shots within a designated target area or be forced to answer uncomfortable questions.

Trunk Club. I visited the operation here in LA and believe they are going to be a very popular addition to the lives of discerning men (and women now too), who don't have time to shop for clothes but want to look good at work, golf or going out in the evening. Go to TrunkClub.com/HOUSE, type in your measurements, share your likes and dislikes, and you get your very own personal stylist. They’ll pick your clothes from over 80 top brands, and ship them right to your door. The real value is in your stylist’s one on one relationship with you, understanding your likes, dislikes, and preferences, so they can help you always look your best. They also welcome in-store visitors to their ultra-cool labs in LA, New York, Chicago, Washington DC and soon, Charleston. Also, and this is not something they asked us to say, but I just feel it: Trunk Club is tremendous gift idea for someone you love who needs to upgrade their wardrobe...but maybe isn't easy to suggest that to!
