Dancin’ Dog Golf makes the coolest personal golf simulator, called the Optishot. This system is $399, and is beyond what systems costing over $50K were not too long ago. My buddy Brandon tells us about the system during this year’s PGA Show, and we even go through a shot to see how it works in this video below:
Tiger Woods must have learned some spitting techniques from Sergio Garcia. He spit on the #12 hole in Dubai and was subsequently fined by the European Tour. The amount of the fine will not be reported, but I’m guessing TW can afford it.
“Tournament director Mike Stewart has reviewed the incident and feels there has been a breach of the tour code of conduct and consequently Tiger Woods will be fined.” ~European Tour statement
Apparently Tiger was spitting up a storm while moving himself from one shot behind the lead to a final positions of seven shots back with a final round 75.
“You look at his work ethics and he is a credit to the game and an inspiration to all of those who are trying to become professional golfers. But there are some parts of him that are just arrogant and petulant. Somebody now has to come behind him and maybe putt over his spit. It does not get much lower than that.” ~Sky Sports announcer Ewen Murray.
Tiger is the real winner in Dubai
Why is Tiger the real winner in Dubai? First, it was reported that he pocketed about $55 million for his fees for the billion dollar golf development in Dubai. It was announced last week that the development was halted due to the economic conditions and the golf course would “return to sand.”
Tiger is also the winner of the tournament because of his $3 million appearance fee. His appearance fee is far greater than the winner’s check, and is more than half of the total purse for the tournament.
I’m wondering through the PGA Show in a daze and I happened to notice the name tags of some people in a both were from my home town of Sandy, Utah. I took a closer look and found possibly the coolest golf tees I’ve ever seen, Tornado Tees. I interview Tornado Tee founder and creator John Hartline in the video below.
Note: Tornado Tees are officially a sponsor of 2011 HOG Space fantasy golf. They’ll be providing tees as prizes!
That was the right thing to do…
