Hooked On Golf Blog golf photo gallery reaches 11,000 images
With the last image added to the HOG Photo Gallery of Nessie the Loch Ness Monster, the gallery has now reached the 11,000 mark!
I have 12 main categories in the gallery from golf equipment to Tiger Woods to golf courses to random, where I post bizarre photos like the one to the right.
I figure if I shoot 11,000 pictures, one or two may turn out to be good shots if not just by accident. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.
I’ll keep shooting and remember, “No smoking or alcohol in the toddler zone…”
Daly to make Halloween return
Maybe I’m just a little twisted. I found it mildly entertaining that John Daly’s return after rib surgery was at the Viking Classic Oct. 29-Nov. 1, or Halloween.
I hope JD finds his game, stays injury free, and shows us what he can really do on the golf course.
Back problems again… this time something I’m doing about it
My back has gone out again. This time I went to a local doctor who is doing laser treatment as well as spinal decompression. It is a big deal for me to go to a doctor, but I’m getting sick of missing golf and being in stabbing pain.
Inversion
I’m also trying something new. I now have an inversion table. I just set it up yesterday. You basically “hang upside down” and let your body weight decompress your spine.
Between the doc and the inversion table, I’m doing much better one day into the tweak than I normally would.
More to follow.

Yesterday I had a chance to chat with golf great Dave Stockton for a while. Stockton racked up 10 PGA Tour wins, including TWO PGA Championships and two 2nd place finishes at the Masters. I’d met Dave in 1997 when the then “Senior Tour” was in town. I followed him around, watched him shoot a 63 on a tough Jack Nicklaus course and win the tournament. Aside from Ben Crenshaw, Dave Stockton is known as one of the best putters of all time. My putting stroke is a close model to Dave’s, and most of my opponents would prefer I do something else.
The discussion, paraphrased:
Me: Hey Dave how are you? We met up in Park City when the Senior Tour played up there years ago.
Stockton: Yes. I wish we still played up there. I really enjoyed it. I used to love to play up there and then go fishing up in that area.
Me: I wish you still played up there too. We don’t get much high level professional golf here in Utah. I hear you are injured.
Stockton: Yes. I tore my rotator cuff. I had rotator cuff surgery a couple of weeks ago.
Me: Ouch. That must have hurt. How long will you be out for?
Stockton: I’m surprised to say I’m not feeling any pain right now. I should be back in about five weeks.
Me: I want to tell you how much I enjoy your putting style. I’ve modeled a lot of my putting after you.
Stockton: Thanks! More and more people are modeling their style after mine these days.
Me: So you’re here at this golf tournament (Champions Challenge at Thanksgiving Point, Utah) but you obviously aren’t playing. Why are you here?
Stockton: I’m following my sons around. They’re playing in the tournament.
Me: Ah! Well I wish your boys luck.
Stockton: Thanks. Nice talking to you.
