“My dad was my best friend and greatest role model, and I will miss him deeply.” ~Tiger Woods
Having lost a mother and a good golfing buddy in the last couple of years to cancer I can relate to what Tiger is feeling right now.
Tiger, I know you read my blog :-). I send my best wishes.
Full story
I played yesterday in a pretty harsh wind. I bogeyed two easy downwind par 5’s but still carded a 74.
I played the round with the new TaylorMade TP Black golf ball. Unfortunately on #5 I lost one…
First impressions are this ball feels the same as the Red. It’s the longer of the two but doesn’t feel hard like the V1x does. It feels soft and travels a mile.
The best feel however is when you strike it well with the irons. It’s butter.
I’ll have a full review coming soon, but so far TM’s has got two winners in my book with the Red and Black TP balls.
I guess we consumers aren’t getting enough of John Daly because he’s coming out with an autobiography soon.
In the book he describes how he’s lost $50-$60 million gambling and how he’d win $750,000 in a tournament and then go to Vegas and lose twice that much.
His sponsorship money was going straight to the casinos to pay off his debts. Remember that short period where JD was a Callaway player? There was a rumor that Cally signed him and paid off $10 million of his debts.
I believe it. Back in the early HOG days I wrote a post about the time I spent gambling with JD in the tiny little state line town of Wendover. I was grandfathered into the table at $25/hand while JD was playing two hands at $500/hand or more.
JD and I were the only two players there and we sat and talked for about 3 hours. Pretty cool. Funniest part was that he wasn’t drinking at the time and he was a basket case. He had a cigarette in each hand at one point and didn’t even know it.
Here’s some irony… I wonder if JD’s publisher HarperCollins is paying off any of his gambling debts?
Remember those cool new irons I wrote about from TaylorMade that weren’t even shown on the TM web site? We’ll they’re there now:

The other thing I didn’t know about them was what they’re called! I now know they’re the RAC MB TP Irons. One this is sure, they’re the irons with the most abbreviations in their name. 🙂
Reading over the specs I noticed that these are listed as “low” launch. I’m amazed because I’m a low ball hitter and I was hitting these things very high….which is good.
This week’s winner for fantasy golf is 04_UTES. For his efforts this week he wins a Golf Dust Tune-Up Kit.
