Social Spotlight: It’s that time of year again for Spieth and Fowler fans
The Masters is over for another year, so you know what that means: Spring Break, baby! (Yeah, we can’t pull that off.)
While Gary Player was disappointed not to be invited along, Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Smylie Kaufman looked like they had a pretty good time at Bakers Bay in the Bahamas regardless…
Fowler even recreated that image of him all by himself while at the Ryder Cup…

Despite the quality of golf on display, Jason Dufner’s actions after his bogey on the 5th hole during the final round angered fans.
Disgusting from Dufner… pic.twitter.com/p4jvSFiRsg

Edoardo Molinari is also back in the winners’ circle, ending a seven-year drought by winning the Trophy Hassan II…
It means the Molinari brothers hold an impressive record…

Social Spotlight: How Sergio celebrated the Masters win
Matthew Beedle
Matthew has been playing golf since he was around 13 and took up the game at a local nine-hole municipal course with his friends before joining Pontefract & District Golf Club just over the hedge.
Still a member of Pontefract with a handicap of 3, he currently sits on the board of directors to help with digital and marketing initiatives in order to improve membership and visitor income.
Matthew graduated university with a First Class in Sports Journalism from Leeds Trinity University and has been working in the golf industry since graduating.
NCG’s social media & marketing manager, Matthew’s main job role is to increase website traffic to the National Club Golfer website via our email and social media channels as well as driving entries to grow our NCG Top 100s Tour events amongst other tasks.
Not one to change his equipment too often, Matthew currently plays the TaylorMade M2 driver which has lasted the test of time in his bag. Elsewhere, you’ll find him using the TaylorMade Stealth 2 three-wood with a Ping G425 Crossover 2-iron to aid his long game.
Through his 4-iron to Gap Wedge, Matthew uses the Ping i500 irons accompanied by Ping’s Glide 3.0 56-degree and 60-degree wedges.
Another club that has stood the test of time in his bag is a Nike Method Core MC-3i putter which has had to have the SuperStroke grip changed at least three times. Ball of choice is the Titleist ProV1.
