A once-in-a-lifetime hole-in-one!

   Michael Block is a golf pro, not a pro golfer. So when the California golf instructor earned a spot at the PGA Championship earlier this month, many in attendance assumed he wouldn’t make the cut to play the weekend, if they noticed him at all. But by the final round, Block made sure everyone knew his name. The coach earned his place to play alongside four-time major champion Rory McIlory and even drilled a hole-in-one at the 15th hole. Block ended the weekend in 15th place, earning over $288,000 (the equivalent of what he'd make off of 1,922 golf lessons) – and an automatic invite to next year’s event. He was also invited to compete at this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas, though he had to cancel a few golf lessons back home to make it. “I think they understand why I can’t teach them tomorrow,” he said. 

 

 

You gotta see this!

BABY ALERT! Two litters of critically endangered red wolf pups were just born at the North Carolina Zoo, and they're already doing their part to raise awareness about their species' plight. Wouldn't you want to do everything you could to protect those teeny little angels? The bevy of babies was somewhat unexpected: Two wolf couples had nine pups between them, the zoo said. The babes will be raised by their parents, likely away from zoo visitors so that they'll have a better chance at survival if they're chosen to return to the wild. The zoo is one of several around the country with a red wolf breeding program designed to eventually improve their wild populations, which declined significantly due to habitat loss and "predator control" programs. These yipping babies have a lot of responsibility, but they'll spend their infancy snoozing with their siblings.
