Last night Lanny Wadkins, Jose Maria Olazabal and Christy O’Connor Sr. were inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Olazabal was in tears as Seve Ballesteros gave his presentation speech saying “Enjoy this special night and from me, receive a big hug.”

For a full transcript of the speeches by the inductees and others such as Arnold Palmer and Jim Nantz, click here. I think I heard Jim Nantz say it was a “win for the ages” somewhere…

One of these two golfers is breaking the law

Left is my golf buddy Marius and right is Arnie. They’re next to the most photographed “smoking area golf sign” in the northern hemisphere of our planet. The green is north of the sign, which faces west. Therefore, Marius is smoking his cigarette within the boundary between the sign and the green on that hole. Arnie, is outside of the boundary of the designated smoking area and is therefore violating state law.

Wait a minute. I’m wrong. The sign states that the smoking area is between the TEE and the green, not the sign and the green. So with every day that the tee is moved by the greens crew, the smoking area may be fluctuating in size. I’ll have to do some further research to determine where the tee was that day. It is possible that BOTH of these gentlemen were in violation of state law…

Checking in on some other golf blogs

I don’t get out to other golf blogs as often as I’d like to these days. I’m very busy with my own golf blog here, The Golf Space, running some other sites, attempting to play golf and have some semblance of a personal life.

Since I’m feeling a bit of writer’s blogger’s cramp I thought I’d make a few stops and report on what some of my golf blogging pals are up to. In alphabetical order…

Armchair just got back from the McGladrey Team Championship, where Chris DiMarco, Natalie Gulbis and Zach Johnson were in the field. Armchair’s content is always great.

Deep Rough reviewed the new Ping i15 irons. I get lost on Deep’s blog though. The content is excellent but the blog format is confusing.

Miranda at Even Par Round is still at it. Good analysis of the PGA Tour money list and she’s always good at keeping track of the good lookers on tour. Now if I could just get her to switch to a new theme for her blogger template!

Geoff Shackelford is a must read. I recommend stopping by regularly.

Golf Babes is a blogspot blog (can’t win ’em all), but hey at least he covers all the beautiful women who golf with many photos. No comments allowed though. I always stop by there for a fix.

GolfBlogger is a rock. Nobody blogs harder about golf.

My pal Kristen, The Golf Chick, is still around. This is good.

Grouchy is still busting out great, controversial and engaging golf blog posts, like the latest one “The FedEx Cup Still Sucks.” I particularly like the comment in the thread from “Jessica” who says “I couldn’t agree more. Fedex Cup totally sucks balls.” Jessica, could I have your number?

I see my pal Luke Swilor every week. We play golf sometimes and he takes $2.00 from me in stymies now and then. Luke is in a position right now where he has some decisions to make. Whatever path you take buddy, I wish you the best.

Jay Flemma is a good pal and the engergizer bunny of golf writing. Perhaps his funnest category is “Chumps, Lunkheads, Dingbats.” I may add the category “Boneheads” as a result this great categorization.

My friend Dave, the Orlando Golf Blogger is working hard and has a good thing going. I especially like the post about nude LPGA players posing for pictures. Assuming I go to the 2010 PGA Show, I have a $1.00 with Dave’s name on it, literally.

My pal Scruffy agrees with Grouchy. Who’da thunkit?

The Golf Blog asks “Can Michael Wan save the LPGA?” Um, no.

Patricia, The Golf Girl, is passionate about golf blogging. Nothing better than an attractive and passionate brunette. Hey I’m lucky to have one of those. I just wish Patricia would bag blogger and move to her own URL soon! It is time!

Last but not least, The Green Blazer is twisted. Twisted in a reaaaallly good way. He needs to move from blogger too to bigger and better blog engines! Same green template that about 500 other golf blogs are using…

LPGA names Michael Whan as new commissioner

The LPGA has named Michael Whan as their new commissioner. Whan was previously an executive VP for TaylorMade-Adidas and president CEO of Mission-Itech Hockey.

I’m not the biggest LPGA fan in the world. In fact I haven’t watched an LPGA tournament since Annika Sorenstam retired. I’m not sure naming anyone as commissioner can help their cause all that much with today’s economy.

The rest of the news release is below:
