This is a classic brain knot exercise. I did a post about this web site who is scraping my content and many others’ content and posting it without permission. Their system automatically scraped that post, about them stealing, and it appears on their page. Classic.
I like to link to my own web sites within my content for this very reason. That way if someone does rip off my posts, it at least links back to my site somewhere.
I need to get on with getting this damn site shut down. But maybe I’ll wait and see if they steal my post about them posting my post about them stealing my posts first. Then the screen capture could be a picture in a picture in a picture…
I’m very happy to announce the release of the first Hooked On Golf Blog / The Golf Space golf hats by Pukka Headwear. Pukka makes great hats, custom logo for golf courses, businesses, tournaments, web sites.. you name it.
Pukka’s reputation is very high. A few days ago I was telling the buyer at a local golf course about the new hats coming up. This guy started raving about Pukka and told me they were the best in the business. A totally unsolicited rave review.
Pukka has been a great company to work with from start to finish. The design process was very thorough and efficient, with great service and help on getting things to look their best.
How do you get one?
The first few dozen hats will be for giveaways. I first intend to get these on the craniums of those who have been HOG/TGS pals, members, users, friends etc. I’ll use the rest of this batch for site contests, giveaways, fantasy golf and any other reason I can to get ’em out in public.
I’ve already had one test round under my belt last week with the Nike 20XI-S golf ball, the spinnier version of the new 20XI series. That round was extremely tough though as the course had just opened following being covered with snow. The course was playing massively long, no roll at all. Mud ball central. Holes which I normally would have 7-9 iron approaches were hybrids, and some I couldn’t even get home.
So today will be my 2nd test round with the 20XI-S and should give me a great idea how this ball performs. Stay tuned.
20XI-X Golf Ball Review
I already reviewed the 20XI-S’s sister ball about two weeks ago. To my knowledge, I’m the first to post a review the Nike 20XI-X golf ball so check it out.
The next read in my gigantic list of golf books is by the golf author John Coyne, who previously penned the book The Caddie Who Played with Hickory.
Coyne’s new book is called The Caddie Who Won The Masters. This is the story which Bobby Jones would have loved, that of an amateur who managed to win the best golf tournament on this planet.

We were at the beach. Everybody had matching towels. Somebody went, under a dock. There they saw a rock. But it wasn’t a rock, it was rock lobster…. golf ball.
I’ve seen those cruise ships which have driving mats on them and wondered about the environmental impact of hitting balls into the world’s largest water hazard, the ocean. I didn’t know it, but they make biodegradable golf balls for that.
The researchers at the University of Maine have created a golf ball from lobster shells for this purpose. Somehow I doubt the cover on this ball is as soft as ProV1 or a Srixon ZStar.
