Khaaaaannnnnn!!!!
When I was a kid I definitely watched Fantasy Island. As a Star Trek fan, I loved Ricardo Montalban as Khan Noonien Singh in the original 60’s episode “Space Seed” and then in “Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan.”
Ricardo Montalban passed away today at 88.
Thanks for the memories sir. I now feel it is time to apologize to you for pulling into your driveway in Beverly Hills back in 1988. Yes, that was me and my best friend you heard in your driveway yelling “Khaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn!!!!”
VedaloHD confirmed as fantasy golf sponsor #3
I’m happy to announce the confirmation of HOG Space Fantasy Golf sponsor #3. VedaloHD makes killer golf sunglasses and they’ll be providing a pair of shades for the winners of the 1st half and 2nd half of the fantasy season!
You may have seen VedaloHD’s in use by a caddie for a certain famous player named Tiger Woods. Yes, Steve Williams’ shades are VedaloHD’s.
No George Lopez? No Wie? Maybe Kenny G is next…
And there was much rejoicing! No George Lopez!
I was just reading one of my regular blog stops over at Geoff Shackelford’s blog. I found out that George Lopez was no longer going to be the celebrity host for the Bob Hope Desert Classic. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to actually be able to watch that tournament now! To say I’m not a George Lopez fan is as big an understatement as saying Tiger Woods is an average golfer.
Every year I’d turn on the broadcast and practically injure myself diving for the remote to change channels when Lopez would come on with his not-funny shtick.
No Michelle Wie at the Sony!
I was setting my fantasy team for this week’s Sony in Hawaii and realized that Michelle Wie wasn’t in the field. This is good. I hope this means Wie is concentrating on her LPGA season, rather than making a fool of herself.
Why not make it three?
I’m glad enough to see these omissions, but why don’t we make it a complete set? Let us go ahead a give Kenny G the boot now. He can take his kazoo and his long hair and, oh, maybe play for mountain bikers or something.

This Puma Swing GTX golf shoe brings the best of old school design and modern technology into a super hip looking package.
Looks
This Swing GTX was a real eye catcher for me the first time I saw it. There’s a retro style and simple elegance to these golf shoes. How Puma can take a white shoe with a couple of green (or black depending on the model) lines and make it look so cool is beyond me. That’s why I’m a golf blogger and not a shoe designer I suppose.
Comfort
The Swing GTX is super comfortable. With the soft leather in the upper I feel like I’m wearing my cozy slippers rather than a pair of performance golf shoes.
There was no break-in period required before enjoying that comfort level either. I put ’em on and they felt great right out of the box.
PGA Tour opener may move from Kapalua to new venue
The global financial crisis has hurt many industries who sponsor PGA Tour events. That combined with the fact that the Tour’s contract with Kapalua ends next year, opens up a possibility that the season opening tournament will move to a new location.
Tim Finchem:
“We have one more year on the contract with Kapalua and we are looking at some options in terms of what is the best future for this tournament.”
Personally I’ve grown to love having the Tour open in Kapalua. It has become a small tradition and I look forward to the positive golf vibe I get in early January. I love seeing the 400+ yard drives due to the winds and hills of the course. I especially love seeing all the green grass of the course while I’m bundled up freezing to death in several feet of snow here at home.
I hope the tourney stays in Kapalua, but if it doesn’t I hope they’re able to find a decent replacement.
