Golf

2,041 birdies at 2026 John Deere Classic

By Ryan M. Jaster,

23 days ago

The golfers who descended upon Silvis last week left on Sunday with 2,041 birdies at the John Deere Classic, off slightly from 2,102 scored last year.

That doesn’t mean that Birdies for Charity will have a down year.

Last year’s total was a record-breaking $16,944,896 that included a 9% bonus match for the 460 nonprofit organizations participating in the program.

The John Deere Classic has led the PGA Tour in per capita charitable giving for more than a decade, with last year’s equal to $45.19 for each of the Quad Cities’ 375,000 residents.

Last year, the tournament passed $206 million in all-time charitable giving since its inception in 1971. This year’s total will likely be announced in October.

The John Deere Classic, including Birdies for Charity, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in East Moline.

Some recipes have that instant save-it-for-later feeling, and ground beef and gravy over mashed potatoes – the ultimate comfort food is exactly that kind of recipe. It has the kind of name that makes you picture real flavor before you even start cooking: cozy, homemade, and easy to share, with enough personality to stand out in a busy feed. This is the sort of dish that fits the moments people actually cook for, whether that is a relaxed weekend bite, something easy to bring to the table, or a recipe you want nearby when you need an idea that feels a little more special than the usual routine.

Easy-Going 6-lb Little Dog Saved From Shelter Awaits His Happily Ever After

Argos, a 10-year-old, 6-pound senior dog rescued from a Texas shelter, is now “fully vetted and ready to find his retirement home,” according to Small Dog Rescue of New England. In its introduction of Argos, the organization emphasizes both his age and temperament, calling him “a senior guy saved from the shelter in TX” and adding that “if you are looking for an easy going guy, look no further.” The nonprofit says Argos is currently in a foster home in Texas and “doing well,” and the organization is asking the public to share his adoption post to help him find a permanent home in the Northeast.

The Habit That Keeps My Shower Cleaner Longer

Cleaning the shower used to be one of those chores I'd put off for as long as possible. Soap scum would slowly build up, water spots would appear on the glass, and before I knew it, I was spending way more time scrubbing than I wanted to.

The One Thing I Always Check Before Buying Cherries

Learn what you always want to look for when it comes to buying cherries from the store or farmers market. Whenever I am shopping for cherries the number one thing I look for is color. This will determine whether the cherries will be sweet and flavorful or sour and bland. I want to start by talking about the bags of dark cherries that are the most commonly found cherries in grocery stores nationwide. Cherries that are sold in the stores as "dark cherries" or "red cherries", should be dark in color. They should be closer to black in color than red. Often you won't find all the cherries in the bag to be exactly the same color, but the majority of them should be dark.

Returned After Being "Too Chatty": Little Taxi is Hoping For a Second Chance That Actually Lasts

Taxi is a small, scruffy 27-pound Border Terrier/Pug mix (no DNA done) in Massachusetts who’s looking for a forever home after a disappointing turn of events: Taxi was adopted, then returned, not for aggression or “bad behavior,” but simply for barking at daycare. In a recent post, PAWS New England shared Taxi’s story in Taxi’s own words, explaining that busy daycare environments are stressful and bring out loud opinions, even though Taxi is otherwise described as “pretty perfect” at home.

The Spray I Use on My Mattress Every Month

For me, it wasn't something I thought about for years. I'd wash the sheets every week, vacuum the bedroom, and dust the furniture—but the mattress itself rarely got any attention.

I Made This Amish Country Casserole Once—Now Busy Nights Feel More Manageable

Tender egg noodles, savory ground beef, sweet onions, and a rich tomato cream sauce bake together under a bubbling layer of cheese in the kind of casserole that knows exactly how to feed a hungry family. The noodles soak up every bit of the seasoned sauce, the beef adds hearty comfort, and the golden top brings those crisp-edged, melty bites everyone reaches for first. It tastes like something pulled from an old church cookbook—simple ingredients, generous portions, and no need for anything fancy. Warm, saucy, cheesy, and deeply satisfying, this is the sort of dinner that makes the whole kitchen feel calmer once the pan comes out of the oven.

This One-Minute Shower Habit Saves Me So Much Scrubbing
