Golf in Rio and Furyk makes history

I’ve scoured social media from the past week for the top photos, quips, and stories from your favorite golfers and golf media and gathered them together for you to enjoy! -Sniff

So, what did you think about the Opening Ceremonies in Rio? Rickie Fowler sure had fun:

Words cannot begin to describe what it was like to walk in the opening ceremony last night…thank you @teamusa @olympics @nbcolympics
