Steph? Thoughts?

Melvin Gordon still thinks about the 41 yards that kept him from passing Barry Sanders' rushing record — and how that ties into his love for golf. He breaks down how he went from hating golf on his very first round to building Vibes Golf Club, a community aimed at changing who shows up on the course, and co-hosting We Know Ball, a show built to bring golf to people who'd otherwise never tune in. Plus: the saga of his five broken drivers this year, his ongoing campaign for left-handed golfer rights, and why he's still chasing his first round in the 80s while playing nearly every day.
