Armchair Michelle Wie book contest
So Michelle Wie won this weekend. Well, well, well. Stay tuned for my comments shortly about her win.
In the mean time if you are unlike me and you’re in a Wie feeding frenzy, Armchair Golf Blog has a contest where you can win a book about Wie’s “Making and Unmaking.” I like the “unmaking” part.

Casio EX-FS10 could be a great camera for golf swing analysis

There are systems out there which are thousands of bucks, designed to analyze golf swings. They can draw lines for posture, swing planes etc. They also have super slow mo for capturing crucial points in time during the swing.
Enter the Casio EX-FS10
Now Casio has a pocket sized, point and shoot camera which could replace many of those high end pro analysis system’s features. The EX-FS10 has all the features a normal camera would have, plus high speed movie capture of up to 1,000 fps (frames per second). That is amazing. For reference, standard video is 30 frames per second. At that speed you’d better have a big memory card though. There are also settings for 210fps, 420fps and variable 30-210fps.
The Casio web site doesn’t show the lines in the photo here, the digital golf pro. I’m gathering that though the camera is available now in the USA, that feature isn’t available in models here, yet.
Perhaps I can get my hands on one of these babies soon and give it a test run.
Kicking and screaming, I integrate Twitter here
HOG TWIT
I have a pal who I listen to and value his advice greatly. He’s my best friend. If he told me to jump off a cliff, I’d ask which one. If he told me to switch from ProV1’s to Top Flites I’d ask if he wanted me to play the XL’s or the Gamers. Once he told me to start a blog back in 2004. 2500+ posts and tens of thousands of man hours later, here my blog sits. I guess I do have him to thank for a tripping over golf gadgets every morning when I walk through my kitchen to make a cup o’ joe.
TWIT or Twitter?
I’m not a Twitter fan. I think Twitter is gay heterosexually challenged. I don’t think it is a coincidence that the first four letters of “Twitter” are “TWIT.” Those little birds and the little frilly, girly designs make me want to throw up in my mouth. To me Twitter seems like the Britney Spears of the web, hot one day and old trash the next. It really seems like 97% of the people on there are just trying to generate traffic to their own web sites. It all seems like a collection of 140 character spams. If it isn’t spam, it is what somebody ate for lunch, or the fact that some lady’s kids farts smell like roast beef. If I had severe ADD I’d probably love it.
That being said I’ll give it a shot
My pal is smart (I trained him well) so I’m taking his suggestions and implementing them. I’ll probably have a couple of Twitter accounts, one for my golf web sites and one for personal so I can filter what I want.
For now I’ve got my recent “Tweets” (oh God I just threw up in my mouth) in the right column… Testing 1 2 3 4…

The press has Tiger mania about Tiger mania. They’re all going crazy about Tiger playing in Australia, and his $3 million appearance fee. The course, Kingston Heath measures out at 6923 yards (I had to convert it from meters), which is pretty short for PGA Tour players and the scores reflect it. Tiger sits at -10 (66, 68) after two rounds and has a three shot lead currently. I’ll try to wind the DVR up and watch a bit this weekend…
