Try some of these next time you’re out on the course (courtesy of one of my league mates, with a little editing of my own). WARNING: locker room humor follows… Rock Hudson – a putt that looked straight, but wasn’t. Saddam Hussein – from one bunker into another. Yasser Arafat – butt-ugly and in the [...]

When Spinny gets pissed off about something related to golf.
Evidence: There Are Golf Gods
…and they have a sense of humor. First, witness Phil Mickelson’s birdie putt on the par 5 #2 during the final round of the 2010 Masters: Surely somewhere up on a gilded cloud a group of deities in plaid slacks was sharing a belly laugh! And, just to show that these golf gods giveth as [...]
Tiger who?
For whatever it’s worth, I’ve bent over backwards to give Tiger Woods the benefit of the doubt. No, not about the horrible things he’s been doing behind everyone’s (especially his wife’s) back, but about being a golfing star of whom I could be a fan. I don’t normally care what such figures do in their [...]
Don’t Be This Guy on the Golf Course!
Blaine over at the Addicted 2 Golf blog has hit another one in regulation with his latest entry. Do you know someone who insists on playing the “macho tees” even though his/her game isn’t up to it? Have you ever been stuck behind one (or several) of these clowns while they hack their way up [...]

He helps expose the dark underbelly of what really goes on at some “club testing” events. Tell him Spinny sent you. The Golf Digest Hot List is a Joke (And We’re Not Laughing) at Addicted2Golf
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 New Campaigns! [...]
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. Step right up!
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, The Awesome Strength It Does Possess. But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell, I’ve Wandered Through The Fires Of Hell. My Life Has Not Been [...]
A Craptacular Finish
My tale of woe… Playing a 9-hole course yesterday, one of the Turning Stone offerings. For the first seven holes I’m playing very well for me, bogeys except for a double on a long par 5 (the bogey putt lipped out), and after #7 I’m at 36, eight over. Definitely one of my best rounds [...]
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 [...]
