Golf News: Air Canada puts in a lot of effort, but Aaron Cockerill’s wife, Chelsea, puts in even more.
Okay, so maybe only the second half of that sentence is true, but on Wednesday Chelsea had to fly over three hours round trip at 23 weeks pregnant in order to pick up her husband’s clubs.
The incident began when the pair took a flight from their residence in Canada to Mallorca, Spain, the stop on this week’s DP World Tour. Aaron, who is now ranked 110th in the DP World Tour rankings and was just recently awarded a seat in the field, has a particularly significant week. His best result in the previous five starts, a T-51, puts his card for the following season in jeopardy.
With little margin for error, Aaron pleaded with Air Canada on Twitter Tuesday morning to bring back his clubs that had been left across the Atlantic.
How did Air Canada respond? The clubs did make it to Madrid, a 10-hour trip away, despite the social media silence. At that point, Chelsea—who occasionally caddies for Aaron—took matters into her own hands.
In order to get her husband’s clubs by Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. in time for an hour-long range session, the MVP of wives everywhere boarded a plane and went to Madrid for an hour and 20 minutes.
Aaron, 30, had the opportunity to tour the course without clubs earlier in the day, but his lack of practice time didn’t seem to have much of an effect on him in the opening round of the Mallorca Golf Open; he fired a 3-under 68 to tie for T-16 after Thursday. After shooting an 8-under 63 that included eight birdies, Marcus Armitage is currently in the first place.

It’s alright, said Cockerill. “You’ll be fine if you hit the ball where you’re looking.”
It also helps to have a partner who is encouraging.
