Welcome to this week’s Social Eyes. Next week will surely be an
emotional affair as it marks the first Arnold Palmer Invitational
without The King.
As it stands, only ten of the world’s top 25 will be teeing it up at
Bay Hill with no Dustin Johnson or Jordan Spieth – and the decision to
skip the event has been criticised by other pros.
Billy Horschel called the decision taken by some pros ‘disappointing’.
Disappointing. Totally understand schedule issues. But 1st year without AP. Honor an icon! Without him wouldn't be in position we are today https://t.co/yzaIqbbSpM

The course for this week’s Hero Indian Open is a toughie. The final
six holes measure just shy of 2,500 yards and some of the bunkers are
insane.
Just ask Richie Ramsay…

As for the 17th? Well, your guess is as good as ours Stevie!
Even getting to the course was proving to be an issue for Gregory Havret, Paul Dunne and Ricardo Gouveia!
