Since Megan Heckeroth, HOG contributor, has played in a Women’s U.S. Open I thought it would be nice to get a quick take from her. I just asked her to give us a quick paragraph on her thoughts:
“I thought that this year’s U.S. Women’s Open was very exciting with all the great players at the top of the leaderboard. Then having an 18 hole playoff on Monday with Annika and Patty.I wasn’t able to watch much of the Open during the weekend but made sure that I watched the playoff. It was really great to see Annika play so well and with so much confidence. You could tell that she was in a groove and nothing was going to get in her way. It was unfortunate that Pat got off to a rough start but this game is about the grind and anything can happen so it was great to see her stay focused and never give up. I loved watching two great players that have a lot of history together and respect each other, fight for something that they both want so very much.â€
Cheers,
Meg
Grouchy
The Golf Grouch, one of the best and first golf blogs to hit this planet, is two years old. Grouchy has a good system. He posts about 1 REALLY good post per week which gets lots of good comment action and stirs lots of excellent debate in his comment thread.
The Grouch is a class act and I tip back a frosty beverage in a toast to his golf blog quality and longevity. Here here.
EAT
EatGolf.com‘s 2 year birthday is just a few days after Grouchy’s. Anyone who has frequented this blog knows the HOG and EAT are the best of golf blog friends. Rich (Mr. Eat himself) has helped me out BIG TIME on many occasions with my newbie golf blog and aspiring web geek questions. Not sure I’ll take his advice on picking up chicks, but hey the “golf blog web geek” angle just might work in the bars or at 7-11…
Eat’s golf blog reflects the contents of Rich’s cranium, a vast geek wasteland full of twisted brilliance. You can find anything from great golf tips to golf jokes. The most impressive recent additions to EatGolf.com are his amazing course directory and the brand new Eat Golf Shopper.
Eat Courses
Eat’s course directory utilizes the Google Maps API and gives you locations and directions to every course in the country. Not only that, Rich’s cranium added detailed course information such as prices, amenities and even reader comments.
Eat shopper
The latest from Eat is the Shopper. Type in any golf product and the Eat engine will search the web for the best prices and give them to you in an ebay like listing. Here’s a tip though, it works for other products too. I typed in “panties” and was pleasantly surprised at the results. Ahem…I digress.
Idols
When I started out HOG I looked up at the “big boys” of golf blogging in admiration. I’d hoped to have a blog close to as cool as the Eats and Grouches of the web. Many dozens of golf blogs have come and gone but these guys remain two of the best. Cheers my friends. Here’s to 2 more years.
Hooked On Fantasy Golf results for weeks 21 & 22
Tee It Up won the weekly fantasy competition for week 21, the first week of the season’s 2nd half. For his performance Tee It Up wins a Golf Dust Tune Up Kit. The Golf Dust Tune Up Kit can help you make more solid, centered shots on your clubs.
EatGolf, one of HOG’s best friends, is the winner for fantasy week 22. Eat wins a box of Swing Juice golf energy drink. Eat could probably use that energy drink when he’s up for 38.7 straight hours programming some neat new web feature for his awesome golf site.
Everyone click through here to the sponsors below so they’ll see some traffic and want to sponsor our league next year!
By the way, it’s still not too late to join and get in on tons of great prizes!
Happy Birthday America!
I’m going to be taking a break from major posting here for a few days over the 4th of July weekend. My “real” world has me moving out of the “big house” that I just built, and working on the beginning of what you’d call a “new life” for me. My personal world has been insane for the last few years and certain “things” have finally come to an end, thankfully. I’m ready for my new start and much more golf and blogging! ’nuff said.
My new place, albeit much smaller, is a 1/2 lob wedge from the #1 tee at one of my home courses: River Oaks. With a Pinseeker 1500 I shot my new garage at 154 yards from cash register in the pro shop.
I’m also glad to have the previous post about golf site Nazis at the top of the reading list for a few extra days as I think it’s a very important issue.
See you on the other side.
