Justin Rose’s Ace
How could we not love an Englishman getting the first hole-in-one at the Olympics?!?! Justin Rose is doing his homeland proud down in Rio and the world number 12 can now claim the first ace of golf’s triumphant return to the games. Check out Rose’s incredible shot on the par-3 fourth hole…
The first ever Olympic hole in one.

Bubba’s Golf Shoes
American Bubba Watson has taken his love for his country to new heights with his impressive choice of footwear. We can practically hear the chants all the way from Rio – U-S-A, U-S-A!!! These incredible high-top G/Fore golf shoes are definitely making a statement and Watson wants to be heard all the way to the podium!

Furry Friends Roaming the Greens
What could be more welcoming when playing in a foreign country then to run into some native wildlife? This week golfers from around the world have been introduced to the Capybara – the largest rodent in the world (according to Wikipedia!). The furry creatures have been described as everything from pigs to giant rats and dogs. One thing’s for sure – they are not concerned with any player’s quest for gold!
The cutest event crasher at this year's #Olympics in Rio? The capybara. https://t.co/RVI7gxczNW
