Okay, guess you just have to laugh

The whole Tiger debacle has been what it is. Some people are upset, some pretend they knew it all along, some don’t give a rat’s ass, and some decide to make a funny. That’s what the fine folks over at My Dog Ate My Blog did when they posted Wood’s Wood Warrants 8 [...]

Curious about Tiger? Go ask him!

This for all the media dingbats who, given all the really important shit going on in the world right now, seem to have nothing better to spend their time on than idle gossip and private domestic issues.

Ode to a Golf Ball

In My Hand I Hold A Ball,
White And Dimpled, Rather Small.
Oh, How Bland It Does Appear,
This Harmless Looking Little Sphere.
By Its Size I Could Not Guess,

But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell,

Another “Ah-ha!” Golf Moment

I told you guys this was going to be a blog for the dedicated weed-whacker. That means sometimes I’ll come up with things that to me are revelations, while to the more skilled golfer they’d be in the realm of, “Well, DUH!” Witness my recent post about gripping the club: even if it’s [...]

An Ode to the Short Game

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems that the confirmed hacker spends a lot of time wishing, “If only I could hit it that far.” In the dreams of Hackerland all your golfing woes would be dispelled, if only…
Okay, again, maybe it’s just me.
That being said, today I’m all about how that’s really a [...]
