Comparing professional golfers to popular turkey day dishes

It’s that time of the year again.

Families are gathering around the table, giving thanks and stuffing their faces full while watching football on TV.

However, some folks may make their way to a golf course, scratching that itch that simply won’t go away. Although the professional golf world across the United States is quiet on Thanksgiving, that doesn’t mean golf can’t be a part of the holiday season.

That got us thinking: which golfers are most like certain Thanksgiving dishes? As we try to have a little fun and not take things so seriously heading into the holidays, here’s what we came up with: (A reminder — this is for fun.)

Turkey: Jordan Spieth

Of course, we begin with Spieth as the turkey. Because when it’s done right, it’s perfection. When it’s not, it’s going to be a hot mess.

Ham: Joel Dahmen

An interesting creature, and an interesting golfer. The exchanges with his caddie. His bucket hat. The self-deprecation. Does Dahmen roll around in the mud? Maybe. But, he did say at the RSM Classic one of his keys to success was not being an idiot. Either way. Dahmen is a ham. A ham is Dahmen.

Mashed potatoes: Rory McIlroy

When it comes to mashing the ball off the tee, no one hits it quite like Rory. But no one can forget this legendary clip, either.
