If you check out my buddy Eat’s site, he tells of his new myspace account. He has 22 Billion (spoken like Dr. Evil) friends.
HOG is on myspace too, located at http://www.myspace.com/hookedongolf. There’s nothing really there, except a blurb on HOG and links back to here. Free advertising ya know?
I don’t check in there very often but perhaps I should more. Apparently HOG has caught the eye of a very hot babe named Laura. Laura is 26 and a physical trainer. Ooooohhh baby.
Here’s her love note sent to HOG. I think she really likes HOG:
“The subject is me and you.
I decided to take a look at your profile and well, I liked what I saw.. ;p
Sooo my name is Lauren, and I’m from Salt Lake City, Utah. I think you and I should perhaps be friends, because you seem pretty cool, and interesting, and possibly cute! (it’s so tough to tell in this cold digital world.. 🙂
anyway, i would go on forever, but I want to get an answer from you first! Then maybe we could chat sometime! you know what they say.. appearance wins over the eyes, but personality captures the heart.. LOL!
hope to hear from you soon,
Lauren”
Wow. Now I’m confused a bit because her username is Laura but she signed Lauren. Oh well. I don’t care. She’s hot.
I love her quote on her profile: “Looking for a workout?” I wonder what that really means…hmmm. Perhaps HOG will “get lucky” and find out.
Well I don’t want to waste Lauren/Laura’s time so I’m going to do a little HOG/Laura-Lauren matchmaker graph and see if the two are “compatible.” If things look good, HOG will hit Laura/Lauren back with a note and maybe they’ll “hook up” if you know what I mean. Perhaps HOG can find out what that “workout” thing is all about? 😉

| Age |
26 |
1 year, 6 months |
OK, she’s a bit older than HOG. But when it’s love, the age boundary is meaningless. |
| Gender |
Female |
Web Site |
Laura/Lauren is all female, that’s for sure. HOG? Well, not sure if a site can have a gender but I’m going to say male. HOG could be female I suppose, then the relationship would have to be lesbian. |
| Astrological Sign |
Gemini |
Sagittarius |
Gemini is ruled by Mercury (Communication) and Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter (Luck). Mercury lends Gemini their chatty, intellectual demeanor; Jupiter is about both luck and philosophy, and lends Sagittarius their constant questing for knowledge and truth. This is a great match — Gemini comes up with a new idea and Sagittarius jumps right on, ready to explore it to its limits. |
| Smoke |

Match! Excellent! |
| Drink |
Yes |

A web site can’t "drink" per se. But HOG doesn’t mind if she drinks because….well, she’s hot. |

Match! Oh baby. Same city! HOG could be getting "lucky" very soon! |
| Body Type |
Athletic |
Web Site |
I’m not sure if a web site can have a body type. If it’s like the creator, then I’d have to say "functional." |
| Looking For |
Dating, Friends |
Readers |
HOG wasn’t really in the market for dating, but after seeing Laura/Lauren…well, she’s hot. |
| Height |
5′ 7″ |
1500 Pixels |
Ok, Laura/Lauren is taller. But when it’s love, height differences mean nothing. |
There you have it. Things are looking “up” for HOG if you know what I mean….
Annika Sorenstam hasn’t been playing up to her standard level this season. She missed her first cut since 2002 this weekend. She’d made 68 cuts in a row.
Does this mark the beginning of the end for the most dominant woman in golf? Is she ready to pass the torch to Michelle Wie, Paula Creamer, Natalie Gulbis etc? Or is she just going through those same ups and downs all golfers do? Sometimes all it takes is one quick idea, thought or minor swing change to get your game back.
I’m in the down part of my game right now myself, but due to personal reasons taking away my ability to concentrate on the game. Come to think of it, I’m in a blog funk too…
Technology has gone crazy over the last 10 years in the golf industry. Most of the technology focus is on golf clubs and golf balls. But I like where technology is taking fabrics used in golf apparel.
Case in point the Firethorn golf apparel line. The awesome looking deep blue polo I have has “Mercerized” cotton which is weaved in a kind of honeycomb pattern. With this pattern half the fabric touches your skin and the other half does not. This makes the shirt breathe very well. It also makes the shirt very comfortable.
What is “Mercerized”
Mercerized cotton is cotton that has been treated with sodium hydroxide to shrink it and increase its luster and affinity for dye. It is also mildew resistant and stronger.
Since the fabric is pre-shrunk before it’s even weaved, the shirts don’t shrink in the wash and they’re extremely durable. Even after many washes my polo still has a great, soft feel and the color hasn’t faded at all.
Firethorn is the official clothing supplier for the Canadian Tour. What’s that all a boot? Sorry, couldn’t resist.
You can check out the Firethorn web site here. It looks to be fairly new as many of the links on the site say “coming soon.”
A note on the picture of the full polo. It looks like there are zig-zag patterns in the shirt but that is some kind of aliasing going on between the resolution of the photo and the weave pattern of the shirt.
Remember the yacht company that built the 155 foot yacht for Tiger Woods with the agreement that they’d keep the details on his yacht, called “Privacy,” private? They didn’t keep Privacy private and Tiger just collected $1.6 million in damages…
The irony of this story…

This week’s winner for fantasy golf is none other than my good friend 😉 GOLF CHICK! For her efforts this week she wins a box of Swing Juice golf/sports drink. Perhaps I’ll have to deliver this prize in person. 🙂
We’re 6 weeks from knowing who the first winner of a Nintendo DS with True Swing Golf is. Bedford_Golf has the edge right now with a few others close behind. HOG is in a pitiful 28th place. Fortunately I already have a DS because there’s no way I’m going to win it. I wonder if I can make up enough ground to win the TAYLORMADE R7 425 at the end of the year?
