As you watch Aaron Rai in the PGA Championship, you might notice he uses iron covers for his clubs and wears two gloves — two habits often viewed as golf faux pas. But both are actually inspiring.

Rai grew up in a working-class family in England, where his father sacrificed heavily to support his golf career. When Aaron got an expensive set of irons as a kid, his dad would clean every groove with a pin and baby oil after practice because the clubs meant that much to them. The iron covers became a reminder to appreciate what you have.

And the two gloves? Rai started wearing them as a kid during cold-weather golf in England and eventually became so comfortable with the feel that he never stopped.

Not gimmicks. Just gratitude… and comfort.

Aaron Rai has a good reason for using iron covers ❤️

I made a sports geography game where you're asked to pinpoint locations of 5 questions. I'd appreciate if you gave it a shot

[Glockford Files @GlockfordFiles]

This was called a foul in overtime of the Illinois vs Wisconsin game.

Calls this bad make you wonder if the refs have money on the game.
