HOGCAST #1 – Masters Chat 1

Man do I have a treat for you!

Today I sat down for a chat with my buddy Bob at the driving range shack of one of my home courses: River Oaks http://www.thegolfspace.com/riveroaks

Bob is my buddy who has had the privilege of attending the Masters for roughly 30 years. He was going to take me this year but lost his tickets. I made it through suicide watch…

I recorded our conversation to bring home and type up some good Masters nuggets. He gave me so many good nuggets I decided this is a good time for the first HOGCAST. (HogCast=Hooked On Golf Blog Podcast).

This first HogCast is 12 minutes of Bob and I talking Masters. We cover Greg Norman, Freddy, Faldo, Weiskopf, Arnold Palmer, Augusta holes #12 and #13 and part one of player’s wives getting mad. Its my first podcast and though I’m a professional audio engineer I just haven’t had the time to put fancy intro and outro music in. That will come.

I set up HOG Podcasting on iTunes but due to inactivity iTunes canned it. I’ll work on getting it set back up.

Augusta National #13 Tee Trivia

Did you know that in order to extend Augusta’s #13 Tee another 40 or so yards years ago, Augusta National had to buy the land from the nearby Augusta Country Club?

In this post I announced the newest nugget to come out of my cranium: The Golf Space.

The Golf Space is a “networking” site geared toward golf. Networking in this sense refers to the connection of friends, businesses and business associates. In short it’s golf’s version of myspace.

Today is the “grand opening” of this new site and I’d like to invite you all to drop in for a glass of virtual champagne. It’s Dom, the good stuff. Nothing but the best for my friends!

I’ve had a great response already from bloggers and golf forums. The site is about networking in the golf world and The Golf Space itself is already forming it’s own network in the form of affiliates and sites who link there.

Now on to Masters talk…

My buddies at TM/Adidas sent me the info on Sergio’s new green shoes. These babies look pretty cool. I hope they are as comfortable as they are cool looking. (I wouldn’t know, haven’t tried them).
