A few posts back I wrote about the Gunslinger Accident. My love for super duper hot sauce, especially my all time favorite Arizona Gunslinger, resulted in a large spill into my Mac keyboard. I’d exceeded the structural capacity of the white corn tortilla chip. The chip gave way under the immense pressure and dumped the load of Gunslinger right into my keyboard.

Unfortunately my keyboard didn’t pull through. The right shift key, the numbers 4-5-6 and the + sign no longer work. Time for a new keyboard.

Golfers for global warming

As president and founder of “Golfers For Global Warming” I thought I’d mention that today is the weekly meeting.

The meeting place will be the 17th hole at River Oaks, pictured below. I birdied this hole yesterday. Today? Doubting it.

Greg Norman becomes TaylorMade Tour Staff Player

This isn’t an April fool’s joke.

Greg Norman has inked a deal with TaylorMade. The Shark will play the TP Red golf ball (which he played in that great performance at the (British) Open last year, TaylorMade golf clubs, TM staff bag and a TM logo on the side of his hat. Yes the side. There’s NO way the Shark would let his Shark logo play 2nd fiddle to any other.

What about MacGregor?

Not sure what the ramifications are with this deal and Greg’s relationship/investment in MacGregor Golf, which is still sporting Greg’s photos on their home page.

Norman video on the switch, The Masters

In this nine minute video, Norman explains his decision to switch to TaylorMade. He also mentions playing golf at The Masters this year. He says the length of Augusta National makes Beth Page Black look like a pitch-and-putt course.

Augusta National dethrones Pine Valley as #1 on Golf Digest’s Top 100. Kenny G #1 on my list of kazoo players who golf.

Golf Digest’s top 100 U.S. courses for this year (see below if you click “read more”) has Augusta National (The Masters) at #1 now, over long time #1 Pine Valley. I guess they like distance in their ranking equation?

Beginning to wonder about Golf Digest’s “rankings”

Golf Digest loves to rank everything. While browsing their web site trying to find the elusive top 100 golf courses list, I found that they’re even ranking the top 100 musicians who golf. Strangely enough, GD had Kenny G listed at #2 on that list. This is why I now take Golf Digest’s rankings with a grain of salt. Everyone knows that Kenny G isn’t a musician, he’s a kazoo player.

I now have my own list of rankings as inspired by Golf Digest.

1. Kenny G

Please accept my apologies. I couldn’t find any other kazoo playing golfers for my top 100 list.
