The Golf Round I'll Never Forget
By Adams, Matt
With careers that often span decades -- and with most tournaments determined after four 18-hole rounds -- golfers have a lot to consider when choosing a single, stand-out round as the one they'll never forget. Even so, there is always one that leaps to mind for these legends of the links. From famous firsts to courageous comebacks, golf's best interviewer, Matt Adams, compiles over 50 incredible rounds from some of golf's best and brightest stars. In The Golf Round I'll Never Forget, readers will march the final round at Cherry Hills with Arnold Palmer for his remarkable 1960 U.S. Open comeback wing. Similarly, they will revel in the 46-year-old Jack Nicklaus' come-from-behind victory at the 1986 Masters. And, of course, most will vividly recall the Tiger Slam -- the unforgettable rounds by Tiger Woods that encompassed the never-before-achieved feat of winning all four majors in succession.

Fit Nation
By Petrzela, Natalia Mehlman
How is it that Americans are more obsessed with exercise than ever, and yet also unhealthier? Fit Nation explains how we got here and imagines how we might create a more inclusive, stronger future.. If a shared American creed still exists, it's a belief that exercise is integral to a life well lived. A century ago, working out was the activity of a strange subculture, but today, it's almost impossible to avoid exhortations to exercise: Walk 5K to cure cancer! Awaken your inner sex kitten at pole-dancing class! Sweat like (or even with) a celebrity in spin class! Exercise is everywhere.. Yet the United States is hardly a "fit nation." Only 20 percent of Americans work out consistently, over half of gym members don't even use the facilities they pay for, and fewer than 30 percent of high school students get an hour of exercise a day.
