Welcome to this week’s Social Eyes. For the practice days of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, spectators were advised to stay away due to adverse weather.
J.B. Holmes detailed just how bad conditions were, as he hit a 6-iron – yes, a 6-iron – into the 105-yard par-3 seventh green…

‘Salt Bae’ was the social media frenzy of January. Not sure who he is? This picture should jog your memory.

Now, he’s made his way onto the PGA Tour, with Rickie Fowler – who ‘Salt Bae’ cooked for when the American was in Abu Dhabi – using it as a celebration at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
