Yesterday I played a new course here, about an hour from my place with my new pal Chris from My Golf Book. The course is the Promontory Dye course, designed by Pete Dye.
We had a great time and this course is pretty wild. Unfortunately the greens had been punched and it has been raining here for what seems like several weeks straight. So the greens were so bad we decided to implement a max 2-putt rule. I hope to get back up there when the conditions are better to experience the course as it is meant to play so that I may do a full review here. Here are a couple of pics below from my newly added Promontory Dye Gallery which already has about 100 images.

This is yet another of what are sure to be glowing reviews of a product by my new golf buddy Marius, the gray matter behind the new hip golf company called SUMI-G. Marius and I met at this year’s PGA Show and have become golf pals, with weekly grudge matches to determine who reigns supreme, at least for one week. For the first time in our playing history, we both played decent last week. To this date all our battles have been pig fights. Somehow this week the bugger Marius beat me out of $1.00 despite the fact that I beat him by one stroke.
SUMI-G Dormy Belt
Part of the SUMI-G “Tee Collection,” the Dormy belt is a very hip and stylish belt for golf or just everyday life, unless looking cool isn’t on your list.
The Dormy belt sports that new wider footprint we’re seeing in golf belts these days worn by many of the “in” golf crowd. The width is 1 5/8″ wide. Note: if you are wearing some old school style golf pants or golf shorts from years ago, this belt may be too wide to fit through the loops. If you pick up one of these belts and it is too wide to fit through the belt loops, that’s a tell tale sign that the “hipness level” of your belt is beyond that of your pants. You’ll need upgrade your pants to match the quality and style of the belt!
The buckle is super stylish and shiny and features a unique double prong to latch it into the belt. Within the buckle is a magnetic SUMI-G ball marker. Using this marker during play is easy and is referred to “Sumigizing.” If you misplace the marker, the belt comes with two backups.
The leather of the belt is very soft. When I have strangers comment on the looks of the belt, I have them feel how soft the leather is. That looks a bit strange to passers by I must admit, but I feel a duty to spread the word on how nice and supple the belt is. It isn’t like a “biker” belt with the cheap hard Tijuana leather. This is Italian leather baby.
Conclusion
The Dormy Belt is yet another mega-stylish, elegant and useful product from my new favorite company SUMI-G.
Just a few minutes ago while sitting here in the San Diego airport withing for a flight, I had someone tell me how cool my belt was (I’m wearing the white one right now). This happens daily.

Dolphins swimming underneath me
Yesterday I had a blast with my new friends down here in San Diego. Cap’n Mark took us out on his 60 foot yacht (yacht is too snooty) boat for about 9 hours. We found a bunch of dolphins swimming and I caught this video clip:
I’m grabbing a bunch of quarters and heading back to this gumball machine asap
So I’m milling about here in San Diego. I walked out on the Ocean Beach pier and found a fascinating selection of prizes in a gumball machine called “Homies.” I didn’t have any quarters on me, but rest assured I’ll be bringing a pile of them back and attempting to acquire my favorite Homie, the one legged “Hero” pictured right.
Can you believe the ball I found in the swamp at my home course?
So I’m searching in the reeds of the swamp at my home course. With the state of my game lately I’ve been doing this quite a bit. I’m looking for my damn ProV1 in one of the hundreds of hazards at my home course in Sandy, Utah. This is Sandy, Utah OK?
I find a ProV1 but unfortunately it isn’t mine. I can see some kind of logo on the thing but it is covered with mud. After I clean the mud off, I’m shocked to find a 2009 US OPEN Bethpage Black logo ball. What bonehead is knocking these collector’s items in the hazards in Sandy freakin’ Utah?
This one went right to my ball rack.
