Welcome to this week’s Social Eyes. Although being a professional golfer probably ranks very highly on your list of a ‘dream job’, the profession does have one or two drawbacks.
One of those is dealing with airline companies. PGA Tour pro John Peterson had a bag go missing thanks to American Airlines. He wasn’t best pleased and a Twitter rant ensued.
Hey @AmericanAir, as if y’all couldn’t be any more of a joke of an airline, you lost my priority bag on a 40 minute flight to Houston. #joke

Hey @AmericanAir, when you lose someone’s bag on a 40 minute flight, when I flew first class, do you even feel bad? Nahhhhh, cuz y’all suck!

It turns out rap superstar Drake loves his golf. Here he is at TopGolf in Las Vegas showcasing his swing, while listening to his own music of course.

This tweet happened at the weekend – and we’re still wincing at it. Here’s hoping Monty took Mr Trump’s response in good spirit.

As well as being undoubtedly the coolest guy on the European Tour, Monty’s fellow 52-year-old Miguel Angel Jimenez is also the No.1 photobomber. Luke Donald thought he had a stunning pic of the 18th at Wentworth until Miguel intervened.
It’s still just as stunning though, right?
What a fantastic view…..it’s a shame Miguel got in the way #FinishingHole #18 #BMWPGA

There’s no stopping world No.1 Jason Day at the moment and it looks like, in a few years’ time, there’ll be no stopping his son Dash either. Here he is teeing off while shouting the famous ‘Go to you home’ line from Happy Gilmore!
HAPPY! #gotoyourhome pic.twitter.com/Fj7Yn6Txik

It was great to see Sergio Garcia back in the PGA Tour winner’s circle after four long years at the weekend, wasn’t it? Celebrations kicked off back in Spain…

And it was a busy few days for the Spaniard, who also met girlfriend Angela Akins’ parents…
Happy 39th anniversary Mom and Dad! Thank you for showing me what a true partnership looks like and what true love means! I’m so lucky to have you both. Love you!

Think it’s time to update this…
And finally…
Apart from a major title, Rickie Fowler really does have it all. If you get jealous easily, I’ll give you a tip – don’t follow him on Snapchat (rickiefowler15). Here are just a few pics from his latest excursion to #SB2K16 venue Bakers Bay.
Go to your happy place!
