Social Eyes More airline horrors, Beef fan club grows

Welcome to Social Eyes on the eve of the final major championship of the year!

Players have been travelling from all over to make it to Baltusrol for the US PGA Championship and, as seems to be a pretty regular thing now, there was more than one occasion of airlines being careless with clubs.

First up, Luke Donald…

Thanks @united 4 hour delay & you still couldn't get mine or most of the other passengers bags on the plane #comedy

The Long Drive competition at Baltusrol was won by Byeong Hun An, but everyone was more concerned about who hit the hook into the trees.

Steven Bowditch tried to cover for whoever it was. The only problem? The Aussie isn’t in the field this week!

Ok that one was minehttps://t.co/nvL4QVZ6cV

Smylie Kaufman has changed a lot since the last US PGA Championship at Baltusrol. In 2005, he was outside the ropes!

Throwback to 2005 PGA at Baltusrol when I was on the other side of the ropes. Look forward to playing this time around!

Oh, the irony. Jean van de Velde only had one logo on and around his bag on his Senior Open debut at Carnoustie last week. It was this…

And finally…

We’ve heard about the top level pros who are playing PXG’s clubs. But what about the celebrities? Well, rockstar Eddie van Halen and comedian George Lopez are big fans.

One of the best pairings we can think of! @eddievanhalen and @georgelopez on the course together rocking #PXG. #PXGTroops
