In honor of April Fool’s Day, the writers at golf’s leading website-joined by this month’s celebrity guest, heavy-metal guitarist Joey Allen-let their thinning hair down to come up with the game’s most outrageous news items.

Which is why our writers take aim at such conventions as collared shirts, private clubs, and gear that promises improved performance even with a lousy swing.
This month’s first story is from Joey Allen, lead guitarist of the 1980s-90s heavy-metal band Warrant-and a diehard golfer.
