Adam Scott was thrilled to finally win the Australian Masters, a tournament he has watched since he was small boy. 

Announcers on Australian television were equally thrilled to have one of their own charging to victory in the final round. 

Always prone to witty metaphors, one of the announcers during Saturday's third round said, "Adam Scott has the Miss Venezuela of golf swings."  

With no further explanation or follow up, it was left up to the viewer to decide what that meant. The picture above should help.  

This past week was a huge one around the world of golf, with star players like Luke Donald, Adam Scott, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Henrik Stenson earning victories in all corners of the globe. It was an even bigger week for Titleist, which earned the very first victories for both its 2013-14 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls with a matter of hours of each other.

I’m not exactly sure where in the guidelines of golf etiquette this falls, but Ian Poulter and Adam Scott appeared to be engaging in a bit of good-natured ribbing during Saturday’s third round of the Australian Masters.

Jamie Sadlowski, former two-time RE/MAX World Long Drive Champion (2008, 2009), stopped by the set of Golf Channel's, "Morning Drive," on Friday with the show's host, Gary Williams.

During the segment, Sadlowski and Williams were supposed to have a long-drive contest on the golf simulator in the studio. Unfortunately -- or, actually, "incredibly" -- the contest was pretty much over before it even got started.

Not only did Charlie Beljan overcome severe panic attack symptoms to earn his first PGA Tour victory at the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic last Sunday, he also chalked up the first victory for the new 588 RTX CB wedges from Cleveland Golf. And in a case of perfect timing, these new wedges are officially hitting the stores on Friday.

The new wedges are the latest extension of Cleveland’s famed 588 line, and include the company's most advanced spin technology ever.

You may or may not be familiar with "Movember." During November each year, men take part in this movement where they cleanly shave their respective faces on Nov. 1, and then spend the rest of the month growing out a mustache (or "moustache" if you prefer) to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other male cancer initiatives.

Geoff Ogilvy, Johnson Wagner and Rickie Fowler have all taken part and three-time major champ Padraig Harrington is the latest golfer making the "misplaced eyebrow" famous.
