New Ping putters are the “IN” thing

I’ve always been a fan of Ping putters. The best putter I ever had was my trusty old Ping Zing. Unfortunately for me (not my opponents) that putter was stolen.

Ping has a new series of putters called “IN” which are very cool. The IN putter and other Ping gear is in my Ping image gallery.  If you rotated this image 90 degrees clockwise wouldn’t it look like a bear’s head?


Rough weekend. Cat got my mouse.

I had a rough weekend starting Friday morning.  Some non golf related issues sucked the creative juices out of me so I’ve been laying a little low with writer’s cramp for the past few days.  I tried to post the fantasy golf results over the weekend but Grouchy pointed out that I screwed it up.  I’m revamping and hopefully fixing my errors.

Hopefully my morning coffee and a fresh week will get me back on track today.

The Race To The HOG SPACE Cup 2009

(Fantasy Golf Final Results – fixed!)

Free Fantasy Golf

The 2009 Fantasy Golf Season has come to an end. I started off great, leading for several weeks at the first of the season. But I was like a sprinter trying to run a marathon and I gassed out, bad.

This season was the best ever and I’m happy to announce the top four winners and their great prizes.

FIRST PLACE

“Fore Heaven” with 5772 points

FootJoy“Fore Heaven” wins a custom pair of custom MyJoys golf shoes courtesy of my good friends and primary sponsor FOOTJOY. Fore will be able to build his own pair of custom golf shoes on the MyJoy web site!

Many thanks to FootJoy for sponsoring 2009 and I’m proud to have such a great company as a sponsor!

SECOND PLACE

“Golf Grouch” with 5678 points

Rife Putters“Golf Grouch” (my golf blogging pal) wins an awesome putter from RIFE PUTTERS. I own two Rife Putters and they are amazing. Thanks to Rife for sponsoring 2009.

THIRD PLACE

“Par Six” with 5641 points

Ogio“Par six” wins a golf bag from my closest of golf pals at OGIO. OGIO is the BEST, hands down. OGIO has been sponsoring HOG Space Fantasy Golf since the beginning and has been a great supporter. If you’ve never used OGIO bags before, throw your old bag away now and go buy an OGIO.

FOURTH PLACE

“Birdie Man” with 5593 points

Tattoo Golf “Birdie Man” brings up fourth place and is the lucky recipient of a shopping spree on the Tattoo Golf web site. Tattoo Golf is also a long time HOG friend and sponsor and we appreciate the love. Hey “Birdie Man” don’t forget my birthday is coming up this week.

Final Thoughts

2010 is just around the corner

The 2010 fantasy golf season will be upon us soon. I’ll be entertaining suggestions for 2010 sponsors so please contact me if you would like to be involved next season. Fantasy golf sponsors receive a ton of publicity on the fantasy home pages of Hooked On Golf Blog and The Golf Space, as well as publicity when announcing the weekly, quarterly and final winners. We’re talking about millions and millions of hits over the course of the season!

Winners contact me to claim prizes! Prizes not claimed by November 30, 2009 will be donated to my local junior golf organization.

I don’t know if I’m actually cold or just psychologically.  I had to put my flannel PJ’s on.  I looked out the kitchen window this morning while pouring my morning life blood coffee.  There’s a ton of frost on the grass outside.  First frost of the year at my level is October 2.

Alternate title: “Dear Dad: Why didn’t you start me out golfing sooner?”

Winning the $10 million FedEx Cup dough last week put Tiger Woods over the $1 billion mark in career earnings according to Forbes.

Man I wish I was “son of a black man and a Thai woman” as Robin Williams says….and married to a blonde Swedish model with a twin sister. I digress… Okay, back to reality…
