Here’s your chance to get some fine jewelery from Tiffany & Co., Harry Winston and Cartier.
Reports are surfacing that Tiger’s former wife Elin Nordegren will be auctioning off her jewelery from Tiger through auctioneer Sotheby’s.
Proceeds of the expected $2.5 million take will go toward a mental health clinic Elin wishes to start, as well as to other charitable causes.
Tempo is an extremely important part of a good golf swing. MyGolfSwing is a $1.99 iPhone application which helps golfers establish and groove their swing tempo.
The app breaks the swing down into three sections and times each one: back swing, pause at top of swing and downswing. Drills show video and play sounds so the player can see and hear the desired tempo while practicing.

There’s a fun feature in MGS which shows the tempos of great golfers like Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Lorena Ochoa and others. Players can use those as templates in working on their own tempos. It is interesting how similar the pro tempos are. I’d like to see a few more in there like Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer.

SHOTmaster is a 99 cent iPhone/iPod/iPad golf application which provides some good basic instruction and golf tips. The application provides textual as well as video golf instruction for nearly every type of shot a player may encounter on the golf course.
From the main menu the user can access the shot category, video list and golf tips list. Some of the data overlaps between the selections.
When sleeting a shot from the main menu, like a 50 yard bunker shot, the next page displays text pointers and a supporting image, or may contain a link to view a video.

I ran into a guy in the Chicago airport this past Sunday who is a reader here on HOG. Small world. He told me about a piece of golf gear he bought because he’d read my review of it. He said that this unit was a “piece of sh*t” and then went through the details of all the parts which had broken. Then he told me about other products from the same company which he had issues with as well. The company in question did make good by replacing all the broken parts.
A while back a guy I know tried out a golf brush which I reviewed. Though my unit is solid and has been working perfectly for several years and 100’s of rounds of golf, his unit broke the first time he used it. That was a simply a case of bad luck and that minute fraction of a percentage which may have a manufacturing problem.
I try to keep my reviews as reliable and accurate as possible. If you have a different opinion or have different experiences with a product I’ve reviewed, I would love it if you posted your experience. Post your opinion on the related article, which you should be able to find with the search function here. You can be sure that the company who makes these products are keeping an eye out and listening to the buzz, and they’ll surely want to make things right if there’s a problem.
Today my Hooked On Golf Blog / The Golf Space YouTube channel went over the 3,000,000 view mark! That isn’t bad for a golf based YouTube channel I suppose. I mean, if I was posting Britney Spears crotch shot videos, silly kitty cat videos or Lady Gaga, those videos would probably hit 3mil in one day but this is golf!
