4. The golfer who was trying to play more than 300 holes in 24-hours for charity has reached his goal!

First Tee West Michigan shared a photo on Facebook saying Eric Dougal played 360 holes at Kalamazoo Country Club breaking the record by 60.

Dougal raised more than $12,000 for the non-profit which uses gold to teach life skills to kids.

This was part of the organization's first marathon of the season. The next is in June at Eastern Hills Golf Course in Kalamazoo.

5. Cheez-Its have gone Hip-Hop! The snack food is paired with music streamer Pandora, to release "Cheez-It X Pandora Aged By Audio," the first-ever sonically-aged snack.

The company says the Cheez-Its are aged sonically, by using a Pandora-curated hip-hop music playlist.

A Swiss study claims the tempo and sonic frequency of certain hip-hop songs can make the taste and smell of the snack stronger.

Fans can get their own limited edition box of the crackers on CheezItHQ.com beginning on May 26.
