The long awaited Guru – Swilor rematch is slated for today at 10:30am. This time it’s on the guru’s home course. Unfortunately, the Guru doesn’t necessarily play that well on his home course.
A report will follow this evening.

I loved surfing Masters.org last year and watching the live video from the practice tee. I work much of the day at my computer so I’ll just set up a little window on my screen and watch all the players practice. This year Masters.org is even better with more live features.
This year the live feeds will be from the practice range, live from Amen Corner (should be very cool), interviews and video from the par 3 contest and real time scoring all tournament.
The folks at Augusta National not only know how to put on a golf tournament, they know how to present it online.
Steve Elkington will not be playing in this year’s Masters due to injury.
Man do I have a treat for you!
Today I sat down for a chat with my buddy Bob at the driving range shack of one of my home courses: River Oaks http://www.thegolfspace.com/riveroaks
Bob is my buddy who has had the privilege of attending the Masters for roughly 30 years. He was going to take me this year but lost his tickets. I made it through suicide watch…
I recorded our conversation to bring home and type up some good Masters nuggets. He gave me so many good nuggets I decided this is a good time for the first HOGCAST. (HogCast=Hooked On Golf Blog Podcast).
This first HogCast is 12 minutes of Bob and I talking Masters. We cover Greg Norman, Freddy, Faldo, Weiskopf, Arnold Palmer, Augusta holes #12 and #13 and part one of player’s wives getting mad. Its my first podcast and though I’m a professional audio engineer I just haven’t had the time to put fancy intro and outro music in. That will come.
I set up HOG Podcasting on iTunes but due to inactivity iTunes canned it. I’ll work on getting it set back up.
