PGA Championship Saturday Play Suspended – Modified Extended TV Schedule Sunday

Written by: Tony Korologos | Saturday, August 11th, 2012
Categories: PGA ChampionshipPGA TourPro GolfTiger Woods

Play has been suspended at the PGA Championship due to bad weather.  There’s still about half the round to play for the leaders and today’s play was more than interesting.  Rory McIlory poured it on, despite having a three wood lodge in a tree branch on the FLY.  Tiger Woods made three bogeys in is first seven holes, losing six shots to McIlory and 10 places in position.

Vijay Singh and Rory McIlory will bring a lead into the final day of the PGA Championship, at -6, with about half their 3rd rounds to finish.  Tiger will have to sleep on his frustrating seven holes.  Tomorrow will be VERY interesting.  Can’t wait.

Play resumes tomorrow at 7:45am ET.  Final round play is scheduled to start at 11:44am ET.

Review: Slammin’ Sam Snead Premium Lager – Smoothest Beer In Golf

Written by: Tony Korologos | Friday, August 10th, 2012

Slammin' Sam Snead Premium Lager

Bottle or can, the flavor is just as good…

The latest tests in “HOG Lab” were very tough.  HOG Lab tests are very thorough.  I go through every possible situation, setting, configuration.  I put the products through extensive and detailed testing, in real world situations.

Can

At 5:01PM Wednesday I cracked open the first test unit, a can of Slammin’ Sam Snead Premium Lager, the self proclaimed “Smoothest Beer In Golf.”   I don’t typically drink my beer straight out of the can or bottle.  I really enjoy them when I pour ’em in to a frozen glass or mug.  That’s just what I did in this test.

The color of this beer is a nice orange/yellow.  Definitely a lager.  I expected the beer to be on the light side based on the light color, but the body was quite surprising.  Not overpowering though.  The head of the beer was on par with more premium beers I’ve tried.  I really enjoyed the taste, and found myself able to consume this beer much quicker and easier than I typically can.  I’m not a gulper.  I sip beer typically.  Perhaps the beer really is that smooth if I can down it quicker than normal.

Slammin' Sam Premium Lager

Pretty… Tastes as good as it looks too.

Bottle

I gave my palette a break for about 30 minutes between my testing of the canned and bottled version.  Once again, I poured the beer into a frozen beer glass.  Normally I enjoy beer from bottles better than cans.  In this case however, I couldn’t tell one bit of difference between the bottle and the can version.  Both had the same great body and smooth taste.

Yes, but can it help your golf game?

The following morning after I tested the two Slammin’ Sam beers, I played 18 holes in my usual weekly grudge match.  I hit 13 of 14 fairways, for 93%, had two birdies and an eagle.   The results speak for themselves.

Conclusion

Slammin’ Sam Snead Premium Lager is a fine brew.  Very tasty and enjoyable.   Do you swing as smooth as Sam Snead after enjoying this beer?  I did.  Now I need to get Slammin’ Sam to send me a lifetime supply so I can assure the same results on all of my golf rounds…
