Word is out that Davis Love III will be the captain of the 2012 Ryder Cup team. This is unofficial and won’t technically be announced until next year however.
Let the rain gear questions for DLIII begin.
Nike SQ Machspeed Black Driver - Pretty isn't she? Click image to view larger version.
It has taken a long time, but there may finally be a replacement to my old driver which has been in my bag for a good seven years. Thanks to my pals at Nike, I’m now testing out a new SQ Machspeed Black driver. My first range session with this thing was stellar. I’ve logged four rounds with it now. My review will be coming soon.
Nike has just released a video about the Machspeed. I receive press releases and videos from golf companies all the time and I can’t possibly post them all. That would be a full time job. But since I’m about to do my review on this particular driver I’m posting this one as a teaser in hopes you come back and check out my review.
In this video I like how Paul Casey’s accent makes it sounds like he’s saying Nike “Mack” Speed.

Boy was yesterday fun. My local post office has ONE employee. ONE. In fact, since there’s nobody else to cover for him, he simply locks the door at 12:00 and leaves for lunch with a hand written note on the door:
“One employee. This office will be closed for lunch from 12-1 daily.”
65 minutes after getting in line, I finally shipped out the last small fantasy prizes.
And some people want the government to provide us health care? Don’t get me started. I can see it now.
“This emergency room has one doctor. He’ll be out to lunch daily from 12-1 and on the golf course Tuesdays and Thursdays…”
I wasn’t done though. I had two large items to ship at FedEx. All said and done I spent close to two hours shipping.
DONE – Looking to 2011 now
All prizes which were claimed have been shipped and it is now officially too late to claim a fantasy prize for 2010. Unclaimed prizes will be added to next year or put into the HOG/Space prize pool for other site giveaways.
I’ve played some form of golf for the last three days here in Salt Lake City, Utah. Golf on December 12, 13 & 14 (9, 18, 18). Those may be the last rounds of the year though. Yesterday the course was green and today it is covered in snow.
Left: Yesterday - Right: Today
Last year the final round was 12/6. The next time I played a round of golf was the day after the 2010 PGA Merchandise show in Orlando, two months later.
It is nice to play golf this time of year, barring freezing to death. Those few rounds will help come spring, when the swing has gone “x” weeks in hibernation. I’m fairly satisfied with the scores from the three rounds, 37, 77, 77. When I have 40 layers of clothing which restrict swing flexibility, and my hands are freezing, shooting any score in the 70’s is good in my book.
Next tournament, 2010 Christmas Classic
Last year I won my first Christmas Classic tournament championship. I’ve been happily carrying around the trophy for a year and I’m looking forward to becoming the first ever player to successfully defend this championship.
A small note to the spammer at IP address 58.22.77.190 who has been flooding my comments with spam links to Moncler products.
You’ve been banned.
Your IP is now blocked on my server. Of course, my writing this to you is pointless since you’re banned and can’t get to this web site or any of the 30 others on my server now.
And I’m going to go ahead and say this, for those searching for Moncler on the web, Moncler products suck.
