Some golf blogging…

Hey this is a golf blog right? OK. Time for some golf blogging.

Deep Rough has just undergone a site redesign. I really like the new look. I’m partial to the 3 column setup as I think it takes more of an advantage of the space.

An incoming link I found here comes from The Royal And Ancient Golf Blog. Hey sounds cool. One catch though: It’s all in German. It looks like they have some great instructional pieces though.

Golf Chum is a new site which is looking to “get the latest golf news, scores and statistics to Golfers all around the internet.” Good luck Chum!

Heather over at Travel Golf has shown HOG as much love as any blogger on her Blogger Leaderboard. My blog heart is throbbing… Thanks for all your posts Heather.

Online Golf News is a UK based golf news blog. They’re on blogger, using that standard old green blogger template I used when I started blogging. It’s a good start (Dec 2005) and hopefully they’ll convert over to WordPress or MT down the road.

Another blogger based golf blog I haven’t hit on yet is Golf Babes (pun intended). Golf Babes is “for those guys who think there’s nothing hotter than a sexy female golfer.” I’m one of them. There’s nothing hotter than female golfers or female drummers.

Speaking of golf babes, I’d like to thank HOG contributor and certified golf babe Megan Heckeroth for the autographed hat! I don’t want to wear it!

I can’t go a “blog related post” without mentioning HOG’s best friend EatGolf.com. Eat is always working on some amazing new feature like his photoblog, price shopper, course finder etc. Now he’s got the new Eat Golf News section. It’s amazing what comes out of Eat’s cranium. Perhaps I need to change my diet to beer and 7-11 nachos and see if my creative juices flow even more…

WRX is blogging? Woa. A fairly new blog (to me at least) is “Gourmet WRX.” WRX has long been a golf forum, but now they’re venturing into the blog world as well. Even though they started in May 2006, the blog is very well done and the design is slick and clean.

Golf Chick is in the golf blogging zone lately. Her review on a course I reviewed, Wolf Creek, kicks my review’s ass. I need to kick it up a notch now. Thanks a lot!

Last on the list for today, Geoff Shackelford has finally added a blogroll to his site. That was a long time coming and I’m glad he finally got it happening. Nobody writes or blogs as much about golf as Geoff.


Flemmapalooza 2006 – Bowling For Soup – Flemma – Guru – Engh

Here’s the first post I’ll make about the upcoming “Flemmapalooza” starting on August 26th. I’ll be golfing in Denver with fellow buddy and golf blogger Jay Flemma. He’s a long time golf blogger, specializing in golf course architecture and design and also a writer for Cybergolf, Golf Magazine and Golf Observer.

Jay and I will be playing with none other than Chris and Gary (guitar/vocals & drums) from the big time band “Bowling For Soup.” Gary and I should hit it off well, both being rock & roll drummers.

Gary (background) & Chris (foreground):

We’ll be enjoying Bowling For Soup perform live in the Ogden Theater in Denver on the 27th. (Sorry BGS guys if some of the groupies go after Jay and me back stage after the show).

That’s not all. We’ll be golfing at some AMAZING courses for 4 days including Pradera and Red Hawk Ridge. These courses rank in some of the top courses in the country.

We might as well golf with the designer of these courses, Jim Engh, right? OK sounds great!

Man can it get any better? Oh yeah it can, when the “rockers” clean the clocks of the course architects in a friendly match. Bring it on baby.


Lost another buddy to cancer

This hasn’t been a very good year. I’ve just lost my 2nd buddy to cancer: Jake Almond.

Jake was a pretty old guy, about 79. He was a member at one of my clubs since probably before I was born. He played there so often he owned his own custom golf cart which the course allowed him to park in their cart barn. I played dozens of rounds with Jake.

He was really funny in the last few years. He had a really low and gravelly voice and mumbled a lot. We usually just smiled and said “yeah” even though we had no idea what he was saying.

This death hit my Thursday playing buddy of many years very hard because he was much closer to Jake than I was. Our Thursday game yesterday was very quiet and none of us really cared how well we played because we knew in the grand scheme of life it just doesn’t matter that much.

Here’s a toast to Jake.
