Players Instagram Special: Who Showed And Who Didn't For Furyk's Ryder Cup BBQ, Pageantry At 17, LPGA Players At The Players, Ponte Vedra Inn's 17th

Hmmm...the Masters Champ, Captain America, had something better to do than attend the Ryder Cup bonding dinner at Captain Jim Furyk's house. Looks like some of the guys wore their very best t-shirts to impress the Captain!

Tuesday's concert and military appreciation day...

Some fine LPGA players spent the day at the Players, posed for photos with their male peers and took a blimp ride above TPC Sawgrass.

I stopped by Ponte Vedra Inn and marveled at Herbert Strong's 17th hole.

Instagram: Wells Fargo Leader Peterson's Deadline, Tiger And Patrick In Pink, LPGA Rained Out Near Frisco, Kelley's Jenga Shot

Wells Fargo first round leader John Peterson needs to make a few nice checks to earn his card off a major medical exemption, otherwise he's calling it a career. 

Tiger and Patrick playing the first together in pink? Nike scripters on vacation? 

On Thursdays, @preedgolf and @tigerwoods wear pink.

At El Caballero Country Club, Colorado State golfers Katrina Prendergast, 20 and Ellen Secor, 20, were 2-down with five to play before defeating Lei Ye, 16, of the People’s Republic of China, and Yachun Chang, 17, of Chinese Taipei, 1 up.

The 9th at Pine Valley has seen the old "skyline green" effect restored after decades of framing by trees.

Tiger has new irons he's helped design in the bag for the Wells Fargo. Woods took the irons out Tuesday for a practice round with Davis Love and looked sharp, reports Golfweek's Dan Kilbridge.

Rory's feeling bullish about his swing, and why shouldn't he be when you swing like he does? 

Looking forward to getting going this week @wellsfargogolf

Paige Spiranac presented our nation's leaders with this reminder of how much golfers spend, also noted in this Golfweek item. This is something our fine leaders have rewarded in the We Are Golf era by going after tax breaks for golf courses as green spaces, nearly revoking the PGA Tour and PGA of America's tax exempt status, and coming this year, eliminating entertainment deductions that could wildly impact the industry. So it's hard to fathom why National Golf Day marches on, but it does...

Weekend Instagram Roundup: Landry Looks Good In Boots, Kid Rock Goes Kite, Ariya Cries More Than Moriya, Sand Valley On Earth Day

Andrew Landry's Valero Texas Open win was an emotional one for his family, who've saw him come close to winning earlier this year and have witnessed no shortage of struggles, Mike McAllister writes for PGATour.com.

Also impressive of Andrew to take a few minutes away from his celebration to piece together a #LiveUnderPar graphic and image to make for Tweet No. 70 from his account. These Guys Are Good!

The winner's boots will definitely look better with a pair of jeans...

A moment that lasts long after the raise of a trophy. 🏆 #LiveUnderPar

Moriya Jutanagarn wasn't near as emotional as her sister upon winning the inaugural Hugel-JTBC L.A. Open with a strong final round that required holding off the almighty Inbee Park.

Kid Rock sports some retro glasses and displayed way more than anyone wanted to see of his mid-section during the Bass Pro Shops Pro-Am and Rain Dance. 

Kid Rock’s glasses come straight from the Tom Kite collection.

Instagram: Kodaira's Winning Putt, Golf Gets A Gray Malin, A Putter Recovery From Sand And The Living Brand Is Still Crazy After All These Years

It seemed like no one could hit a decent putt Sunday at Harbour Town--I blame the early wake up call to get play in before storms--but Satoshi Kodaira made a beauty on the third hole of sudden death for his first PGA Tour win. He had never finished better than 28th in limited PGA Tour play. That 28th was at last week's Masters, so of course we should have seen this coming.

Since Thursday bogeys at 8 and 9, Ian Poulter has not recorded another since and leads the RBC Heritage heading in to Sunday. Golf Channel and CBS coverage times here.

With rough weather forecast Sunday, the Mitsubishi Electric Classic played 36 Saturday and Steve Flesch won on the second playoff hole. It's the first PGA Tour Champions win for one of the good ones, though we may need to work on the hat removal timing:
