Okay, so there’s this thing about Zach Johnson, right? He’s, like, a golfer who loves food. No kidding, every time you hear him talk, he’s raving about some dish or another. Makes you wonder if you even should trust his taste since he’s always raving mad about meals. Not that it matters, but it’s like when you eat, you add salt (or a pinch of it). Ironic though. Hah.
Apparently, Scottie Scheffler, some big-name golf champ, threw this fancy dinner at the Masters, and from what Zach says, it was like nirvana on a plate. Cheeseburger sliders, shrimp that explode in your mouth, meatballs, raviolis, chili—cowboy-style, no less. Then there’s steak that’s all kissed by firewood, fish with a blackened edge, and the grand finale: a chocolate chip cookie that practically hugs you from a skillet. Imagine this—Zach ate it ALL. I mean, who wouldn’t? But still!
Zach’s on this radio show blabbing about it, “Gravy & The Sleeze.” Sounds like something that belongs in a roadhouse, not the airwaves… but that’s the appeal, right? Anyway, he and Jordan Spieth apparently rewrote Scheffler’s menu. They just tossed ‘or’ out the window, opted for an ‘and’. Like kids at a candy store, “just gimme everything!”
The vibe was Tuesday night glitz, but not in that pretentious way. It feels, I dunno, super secretive yet totally the talk of the town. What’s crazy is how this menu gets its own big reveal on social media. Like some Hollywood movie trailer or something, but it’s just food!
The host, Scheffler, he nails it. Well, Zach thinks so. Stepping into those shoes? Not easy. Yet, it seems Scottie is suave with words. And Ben Crenshaw? That guy’s like a walking etiquette class with a Masters green jacket. Though, weirdly, the top National bigshot, Ridley, waits for their invite to this shindig—isn’t it his party? Mind boggled.
It’s all wrapped in this layer of gratitude and “I live for this” kinda feel from Zach. And then, out of the blue, there’s Rory McIlroy—just grabbed his first Masters win. What advice does Zach serve? “Buckle up and do you, man. Ditch the pressure; whip out a menu you adore.” Past menus from guys like Charl Schwartzel and Trevor Immelman, those were hits, so why not take a page from their book?
Bottom line, Zach’s got this one simple nugget: Make it yours. Everyone’s gonna chow down like there’s no tomorrow. Forget trying to please every single tastebud at the table—impossible task. Savor putting it all together like a seasoned dish ‘cause chances like this aren’t exactly popping up each year. Rory might host again, but this one, yeah, it’s the biggie. Truly savor it.
