Social Spotlight: Is Rickie Fowler finally off the market?
Has professional singleton Rickie Fowler finally found love with fellow American athlete Allison Stokke? Matthew Beedle rounds up the best of social media…
“Rickie Fowler changed his relationship status to ‘In a Relationship’.
No, really.
After embracing his singleton status on a recent Spring Break trip, Fowler has since posted that he has been “hanging out” with American pole vaulter Allison Stokke…
If you didn’t already know who Allisson Stokke is, then here you go. And it seems she also enjoys a spot of our beautiful game…
At least Fowler might not have to feel alone at the next Ryder Cup. Remember this from last year that sparked the #FindRickieAGirl Twitter hashtag?
Meanwhile, Fowler’s mate Smylie Kauffman obviously took a dip in the fountain of youth…

Back to the course and there was actually some golf played this weekend. Kevin Chappell won his maiden PGA Tour title at the Valero Texas Open, beating Brooks Koepka by a single shot. To say the American was fairly pleased with his victory may be an understatement…
Here are the highlights of an action packed final round…
We won’t forget this finish anytime soon. pic.twitter.com/C5eRZhYDO3

The Niggle Podcast: Episode 25 – The new season is here!
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.
