Wow there are some very surprising results during this year’s FedEx Cup Playoffs so far, with two more tournaments to go. Neither Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson are even in the top ten in points.
FedEx Cup Top Five
1. Matt Kuchar
2. Charlie Hoffman
3. Steve Stricker
4. Jason Day
5. Luke Donald
Charlie Hoffman found the zone yesterday with a 62 to pull away from the field and win the Deutsche Bank, vaulting him from 59th 2nd in the FedEx Cup standings. Despite that, I doubt Corey Pavin will pick Charlie for the Ryder Cup unless perhaps he stays hot for the next two events.
The big question about Charlie, is if he and Rickie Fowler go to the same hair stylist?
It doesn’t suck when you get home to find a box like this waiting for you on your doorstep.
The contents are amazing. Photos and reviews coming soon.
Hard to classify golf shoes. They’re apparel, but they’re equipment too.
I haven’t driven my car in two weeks. The damn battery was dead this morning.
It was nice of my local PGA pro Guy Lester to come over to my house and jump start my car. That’s what I call service!
Two of my favorite companies are Apple and PING. If I could have a PING laptop I’m sure it would be easy to hit and the longest laptop on the market.
PING and Apple are working together on a new feature in Apple’s iTunes called “social music discovery.”
I’m not sure what PING and Apple have to do with discovering social music so stand by while I try to figure out just what they’re doing.
Clarification
Now that I’ve read deeper, it appears that Apple and PING are not working from a physical product standpoint. It appears that PING owns the rights to any social network using the name PING so Apple must have reached out to them. Apple’s new Ping is simply a new music social network where you can follow artists and the artists your friends follow.
Ping test drive = FAIL
Okay, after another hour I must say I’m not terribly impressed with Apple’s Ping. After setting up a profile, in which attempting to upload two different JPG’s for my profile image failed, I selected the following genres of music which I like: Rock, jazz and blues. There was no METAL or even just heavy rock selection, which is lame. That’s my main genre.
After setting up rock-jazz-blues, Ping’s first suggestion for me was Lady Gaga. Um, that is not rock, jazz or blues. Selection #2 for me, based on my rock-jazz-blues selection was Yo-Yo Ma, a classical cellist. Last time I checked, classical cello music isn’t in the rock-jazz-blues genre. Selection #3 (stop me any time) was Katy Perry, bubble gum pop. If I listened to that for more than 9 seconds I think my head would explode.
I’m sorry Apple (and/or PING), but Ping in it’s current state is a definite FAIL. NONE of the artists the engine selected for me were anywhere near the style I’m looking for, and once again METAL was not listed as a category I could select. FAIL.

Check out my new girlfriend. She’s sort of famous.
