In the turbulent storm that is Tom Brady’s personal life, the only stories coming out are of his past relationships, and future ones. But it is not that easy to forget that Brady has a passion outside of football. His exploits in golf leave many of his peers in stunned silence, as many of his golfing partners recall.

He’s really good. I couldn’t believe it. Those competitive juices kicked in and he smoked me.”
