Welcome to this week’s Social Eyes. Let’s start with a celebration with a difference.
When Padraig Harrington won at the Honda Classic last year, he went straight to popular fast food chain Five Guys to celebrate. When he won at the Portugal Masters last week, we knew exactly where he’d go for his victory meal.

Justin Thomas was as prolific as ever on Snapchat as he won in Malaysia last week.
When he got to Shanghai for this week’s World Golf Championship, he was quick to show his followers a slight problem he had encountered.
He soon worked out it was written in English on the other side.
When he won the Masters, it was reported Danny Willett treated himself to a white Ferrari California T.
It looks like he might have already upgraded. This car was spotted at his coach Pete Cowen’s golf academy and, going by the number plate, there can’t be much doubt as to the owner.
Okay. This picture has been shared far and wide on social media but it’s such a great image, we can’t help but include it.
Playing in the Mission Hills Celebrity Pro-Am in China last weekend, Gary Player was paired with retired pro basketball player Yao Ming. While Player isn’t the tallest at 5ft 6inches, he was towered over by Ming who stands at 7ft 6inches.
I admire @Yaoming and what he is doing for children’s education and am thankful golf is a catalyst for both our foundations. #GolfandGiving pic.twitter.com/K2E0natOUj

Training aids are a great help on the range. They can help you sort out some quirks with your swing in no time at all.
Just make sure you don’t catch them on your downswing.
Jason Dufner was joined last week by Steve Elkington at Auburn University as part of a food drive run by his foundation.
Dufner and Elkington decided to take each other on in a game of basketball. Here’s how it went down.

And finally…
We love to include a cool trick shot in Social Eyes and this week is no different.
This is an absolutely brilliant effort from Paige Spiranac. She even surprised herself.
