A Joel Dahmen Twitter Q&A featured member-guest alcohol consumption plans, conspiracy theories and more

Dahmen dished on everything from White Claws to his Washington Huskies.

Joel Dahmen tied the low round of the day on Sunday with a 6-under 64 to finish T-5 at the 2022 RSM Classic.

The key to that strong finish?

“I don’t know, not being an idiot,” said Dahmen.

“I was an idiot (Saturday). I wasn’t patient on the first hole and I hit it over the green and made bogey,” he continued while noting he’s “far too often” an idiot on the course. “And then after that I was just like there’s like no more stupid mistakes today, don’t be super aggressive at some pins, there’s birdies out here, there’s plenty of them. So just kind of hung in there and played great on the back.”

Known for possessing one of the best personalities on the PGA Tour, Dahmen was just getting started. Netflix wasn’t working on his trip back home, so the 35-year-old took to Twitter for a little Q&A fun to pass the time. Dahmen didn’t disappoint.

The winner of the 2021 Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship gave a handful of serious answers as he explained the difference between tour pros and average joes, his travel schedule and his love of his alma mater, the Washington Huskies.

Here are some highlights:

Beverage of the Week: White Claw’s new lemonade line is not an improvement

Finally, a White Claw that tastes like something (but not something good).

Welcome back to FTW’s Beverage of the Week series. Previously, we’ve folded these in to our betting guides, whether that’s been for the NFL slate or a bizarrely successful run through the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Here, we mostly chronicle and review beers, but happily expand that scope to any beverage that pairs well with sports. Yes, even cookie dough whiskey. 

I have nothing against White Claw. I just don’t think it tastes like anything.

The brand that helped launch the ongoing hard seltzer trend has, for me, stayed too true to its source material to be all that enjoyable. Every flavor offers a faint hit of what it could be, washed away by dry bubbles. It’s a reasonable alternative that tastes fine on ice but has been utterly skippable when it comes to my beer fridge.

I assumed all seltzers were roughly in that range before High Noon’s vodka/soda-based offerings changed my mind. Those tasted like actual cocktails while retaining the fizz and low calorie count of its genre. With summer set to settle upon Wisconsin at some point — 66 and rainy all weekend! — it felt like a good time to give White Claw another shot.

That led me to their new REFRSHR line of flavors which promise “a completely new take on lemonade.” That seems ambitious since there are already a bunch of other hard seltzer lemonades on the market, but the mix pack I was sent also led me to Google whatever the hell “calamansi” is, so there’s at least a partial truth in that statement. The flavors seem tasty enough and at 5.0 percent alcohol and 100 calories, it packs more of a punch than light beer or High Noon without ruining anyone’s diet.

So sure, let’s see what White Claw’s gonna use to secure its standing in the seltzer world.
