Purdy shares hilarious revelation about Luke Combs concert originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Brock Purdy has no trouble keeping his composure on the football field, but put him on stage with a microphone, and suddenly things get dicey.

The 49ers quarterback was asked what he thought was the more nerve-wracking situation: avoiding a linebacker or going on stage with American country music singer Luke Combs.
'I'd say being on stage with Luke Combs,' Purdy laughingly said Thursday on 95.7 The Game's 'Willard & Dibs.' 'Man, George [Kittle] and I were up there, and we couldn't hear a thing. I was like, 'How do they go up there and sing? And everyone's singing with you.' So, I was starstruck up there. So definitely that [is more stressful].
Last May, Purdy and some of his teammates appeared on stage at the sold-out show at Levi's Stadium to rock out with one of country music's biggest stars. Given the massive stadium show and the loud crowd, it's no surprise that the San Francisco signal-caller couldn't hear anything, let alone start belting out a song.

Thankfully, Purdy plays football for a living, so he won't have to worry about singing on pitch or in time.

Golfer makes albatross twice on the same hole at well-known Los Angeles golf course
Golfer makes albatross twice on the same hole at well-known Los Angeles golf course Jack Nicklaus made his professional debut at the Los Angeles Open in 1962 at Rancho Park. Arnold Palmer made the 18th hole at Rancho famous a year earlier when he signed for a 12 after pumping four balls OB from the tee. Enter Joel Okmin, who had his own way of making the par-5 closing hole at this venerable city course memorable. In the span of two months, Okmin made an albatross not once but twice on the 18th hole. Getting one in your lifetime is a rarity. Two? That's something not even Okmin, a retired TV producer and writer, could have scripted. The two big birds came on March 19 and May 21. Both times, Okmin drilled his drive and then had a shot from about 170 yards. Both times he used his trusty 7-iron. "I never holed out, really, from more than 100 yards. I've had eagles but most of my eagles are from putting," said Okmin. If you're starting to doubt this story, be assured that there were witnesses. Fellow Rancho Park Senior Golf Club member John Given was there for both, in fact. "The first time he didn't have [an angle], I had an angle where I was certain from the beginning it was one bounce and in," he said. "The second time, you could tell that it bounced and was rolling towards the hole but until we got up to the hole, you couldn't see anything." Those were the first albastrosses that Given had ever witnessed. "I heard what the odds are for an albatross compared to a hole-in-one, and then to get two!" he said. "That's some serious odds." Odds of a hole-in-one are generally accepted to be 12,000-to-1. Odds of an albatross are reportedly about a million-to-one. As far as the albatross vs. double eagle debate, Okmin makes it clear which term he prefers. "Double eagle doesn't make sense to me," he says. "Even though that's the American version and it does sound sexier. If you think of a double eagle, an eagle is 2 under par and double that is 4 under par. So, it makes no sense. If you talk to non-golfers, they don't know what you're talking about. It's way sexier to have a hole-in-one. They don't understand that an albatross is much more difficult."
