I’m probably the only one who has a Golf Channel ski bag…
Golf Channel Ski Bag
I keep my ski goggles, gloves, hat, scarf, ski boots, GoPro and all my other golf accessories in there.
Great bag by OGIO. Glad it has the old logo and not the new one.

This is fun. FootJoy has been sending weekly “mystery boxes” which contain very interesting clues to a new technological innovation. It’s quite obvious at this point, if it was not already, that this innovation is in the world of golf shoes.
FootJoy NitroThin TPU Outsole
Today’s more obvious mystery item is the sole of a new golf shoe which features a “NitroThin TPU Outsole.” That was going to be my first guess.
This thermoplastic urethane outsole has been in development for several years.
Below my son Seve is helping me with the analysis of this NitroThin TUP thermoplastic urethane outsole.
“Dad, this outsole features a thermoplastic urethane.”
Master Seve wisely pointed out that urethane is also the same material found in the covers of premium “tour” caliber golf balls like the Titleist ProV1.
Nice call Seve. Nice call.

Golfers Treated For Sleep Apnea Improve Handicaps By 31.5%

This is a very interesting finding which makes me wonder what other health related issues can have an affect on one’s golf scores.
This study published by the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine (official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine) and also mentioned in the New York Times, found that golfers who have sleep apnea and undergo treatment can improve their golf handicaps by as much as 31.5%! That is crazy. It is even more crazy that there was a study done in the first place.
Groups of golfers whose handicaps were above 12 found an improvement in their handicaps following sleep apnea treatment by an average of 11.3% while golfers whose handicaps were under 12 had handicap improvements of 31.5%.
Golfers will do anything (except practice of course) or buy any worthless piece of golf-training junk to shoot lower scores. As crazy as golfers are, some may read this study and try to somehow contract sleep apnea, just so they can go through the treatment and improve their golf scores.
My wife says I snore a lot. Perhaps I have sleep apnea? Yesssss. Yesssssss.
What study is next? Golfers who lose 200 pounds or more improve their handicaps by 32.3%? Fetch me a pizza so I can put on enough pounds to be able to afford to lose 200!

Following the fantastic duffed putt video this week (see below), I HAD to come up with a new award to recognize the most entertaining golfer of the year.
Hands down the inaugural winner of the Hooked On Golf Blog Most Entertaining Golfer of the Year award is Jason Dufner. NOBODY can come close to the entertainment value Jason provided this season. Here are the three biggest highlights:
DUFNERING
First we had “Dufnering.” This photo below of Dufner at a school became legendary, and everyone on the planet got in on Dufnering.
Go to Google and type in “Dufnering” and click images. There are 100’s if not 1000’s!
GRAB ASS
After winning his first major at the PGA Championship Dufner was greeted by his lovely wife. On national television in front of millions of viewers, Jason grabbed his wife’s ass.
Classic…
DUFFED PUTT
Not like Dufner needed to do anything else to win MEGOTY after the grab-ass gig, but for good measure we had this video gem last week, courtesy of the PGA Tour:
Jason Duffs a putt. Amazing. PGA Tour players are human.
In fact, that’s one of the things we all love about Jason Dufner. He’s not a swing robot. He’s human, likable and not phony at all. We can relate.
Lost in all of these funny things are the fact that Jason Dufner is one hell of a golfer and has had a great run the last couple of years. The sky is the limit. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
