♐ Sagittarius Daily Horoscope for July 16, 2025
Your curiosity is in overdrive today — ride the wave, but don't forget to land. July 16 is handing you a big cosmic permission slip to explore, question, and dream out loud. Your Sag soul is craving adventure, even if it's just a mental escape during your lunch break. The challenge? Keeping one foot on the ground while your head reaches for the stars. Career: You're brimming with bold ideas, but try not to pitch ten things at once. Focus on one wild idea and back it up with action. Someone influential might be paying attention — don't miss the chance to impress with both vision and follow-through. Love: Single Sags, someone from a totally different background could spark your interest — stay open-minded. Coupled Sags, your partner may not be vibing with your need for space today, so reassure them it's about self-discovery, not detachment. Body: Your energy feels scattered. A grounding activity (like yoga, hiking, or even walking barefoot in grass) could help pull you back into your body. Hydration is also key — don't skip water in your hunt for iced coffee. Mental Health: Your brain is buzzing with possibilities, which is great — but it can lead to overwhelm. Journal your thoughts to clear mental clutter. You'll be surprised at what patterns emerge when you slow down enough to listen.

Derek Sanders is making his PGA Tour Champions Dick's Open debut after years as a caddy
ENDICOTT — Imagine a dream weekend playing golf. Who are you playing with? Do you have a caddy? Which golf course are you playing at? What's your tee time? The answers probably come to mind instantly, but it stays a dream — just a picturesque world created by an impossibly fictional scenario. Advertisement Derek Sanders' dream was to always play in three major events: A PGA Tour qualifying event, the PGA Tour and a PGA Tour Champions tournament. He'd accomplished the first two, and the final felt like that distant pipe dream. Until last week, when he got the phone call from Dick's Open Tournament Director John Karedes while brushing his teeth to get ready to attend a wedding. More: Lupo's spiedies, wings and John Daly cocktails: Your Dick's Open food and drink guide 'I still wake up every morning thinking it's a dream,' Sanders said. 'But it's getting really close to tee time.' Sanders knows everything imaginable about the En-Joie Golf Club. He knows how the ball rolls down the fairways, which greens are harder than others and where to lay off if he can't get to a par five. Advertisement He's been around the course for years as a caddy. And for the first time in his career, he's teeing off at the Dick's Open in his first PGA Tour Champions tournament. 'It's overwhelming,' Sanders said. 'Being a caddy for 12, 15 years out here, and then John (Karedes) giving me the spot to come play with these guys is a dream. I mean, you can't make this up.' John Karedes, Dick's Sporting Goods Open tournament directors, addresses media members April 15, 2021 at En-Joie Golf Course. Sanders had only had mere days to prepare for the tournament. He played in the Pro-Am with the other professionals, partook in the two practice days beforehand. But he took a 7:15 a.m. flight to New York the morning after the wedding he attended — which was last Saturday night. Advertisement He didn't even get a chance to bring his family or friends along with him. Instead, he'll have his caddie, Mike 'Fluff' Cowan. Yes, that's the same Fluff who was Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk's caddie, who's been caddying for nearly 50 years. 'Then I've got Fluff on the bag, the Hall of Fame caddie,' Sanders said. 'It's a good week, it's just amazing.' Sanders will have one other familiar face, though he'll also be playing in the Dick's Open.

Mandatory Credit: Thomas J. Russo-USA TODAY Sports Caron said the two of them have a lot in common, which helped him trust Sanders so quickly. He's encouraged Sanders to soak up the experience at the Dick's Open, and to use his knowledge of golf as a caddie to his own advantage throughout the tournament. Advertisement 'He loves the game of golf and he does a great job,' Caron said. 'I mean, you can't really ask for anything more than that.' With the dream opportunity in front of him, Sanders said he's turning his focus toward playing well. He's been given numerous tips and pieces of advice from other golfers, including Caron, but it's been pretty cliché. Jason Caron plays a tee shot on the second hole during the first round of the 2024 Charles Schwab Cup Championship at Phoenix Country Club. () 'You're gonna want to downplay it because he wants to perform well, that's the problem, right?' Caron said. 'The more you downplay like you're playing with your buddies, he can go make five, six, seven birdies around and shoot decent scores and finish up there. You never know, right? So I just want him to go and have a good time, and hopefully, he'll enjoy the experience.' Advertisement Play like you're playing with your friends, play your own game and just have fun with the experience. But Sanders is still a competitor, and even if this is his first PGA Tour Champions event, he wants to do well.

Sanders had the up close and personal chance to see golfers win championships and get frustrated having a bad day on the course. Now he wants to make a good impression in his tournament debut. Sanders is almost hyperaware of the pairs of eyes that will fall on him now that he's one of the competitors. He's watched golf fans glue their eyes to the pros, while he's looked on and prepared to offer whatever advice needed after the swing. It elevates the heart rate, but it's not completely unmanageable, he said. Advertisement But then there's the nerves of playing against some of the best golfers in the world. 'If I didn't know any of these guys, and they weren't professionals and they didn't have six major wins like Ernie Els or (Miguel Angel) Jimenez and Jerry Kelly I don't think I'd be that nervous,' Sanders said. 'But now I'm going out and teeing off second, and I'm gonna be a little nervous.' Ernie Els of South Africa sends his ball down the No. 3 fairway during the first round of the 2025 Kaulig Companies Championship at Firestone Country Club, Thursday, June 19, 2025, in Akron, Ohio. And although Sanders will claim he's not superstitious, he used to never play with a ball that's marked number two. It's not something he's worried about recently, but did mention when he steps to the tee box Friday morning, he'll double check to avoid that number. Advertisement Then, he'll take his first swing of the tournament, and use the bits of knowledge he's gained watching the pros play to his advantage. And make his dream weekend of playing golf come true. 'I have all this stuff in my book,' Sanders said. 'It's just executing and having some confidence to take the next step.'

Number 10 shirt 'is something beautiful'
Matheus Cunha says it is a "privilege" and "a dream" to be given the number 10 shirt at Manchester Amorim's summer signing from Wolves hopes to emulate some of United's historic former number 10s in his debut and future seasons."It's something that you always dream about," said Cunha. "I can mention many players that use this shirt. It's so easy for me."Of course, I think the one I always think about when I see this number in this shirt was Wayne Rooney."He was someone that I grew up to watch play and I have watched many games now."Then I swapped shirts with Marcus [Rashford after a game] also. I have his shirt in my home. But, of course, we know many players used this shirt - Ruud van Nistelrooy and Zlatan Ibrahimovic."It's the dream not only to use the shirt, but with all the history they have around the number, it's something beautiful I have the privilege to do."
