Who would you like to hit a golf ball at? (That’s a joke, don’t answer it.)
This is one way to get yourself on TV and get your 15 minutes of Twitter fame…

Australian veteran John Senden was in attendance at the weekend’s Byron Nelson alongside his son Jacob, who was recently diagnosed with brain cancer, and the PGA Tour and golfers have showed their support.
John Senden and his son Jacob came out to watch some golf today.

It was therefore fitting that Senden’s former caddie was on Billy Horschel’s bag for the win…
Players honoring @JohnSendenGolf son Jacob this week. He loves @JDayGolf but also @BillyHo_Golf caddie Josh was Sendo’s caddie 4 long time.

Elsewhere, ahead of his home town tournament Jordan Spieth was announced as new face of Wheaties cereal.
Sure. Why not?
And some of the Web.com tour players had a thrill from some of the BMW drivers…

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.
