I’ve added a new category. I can’t believe it took me this long to do it. The new cat is “Life.” How the heck can your slogan be “Golf, life. In that order” and not even have a “life” category? I’ll have to retroactively move some posts in there but for now here’s the first one for the “life” category:
I’m not a bandwagon jumper. The Steelers have been my favorite team since I was a kid. Those were the days of Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Swan, Mean Joe Green, Rocky Blier and the rest.

Tiger undefeated in 2006
Tiger stands pat as other players melt down around him
Tiger beat Ernie Els in a playoff at the Dubai Desert Classic. I’m a little bummed that I ran across this news while surfing this morning. I’ve been watching the tape delays of this tournament at night and that was my plan for tonight. So now the cat is out of the bag.
Will Tiger lose a tournament this year?
My new friends at Nintendo contacted me out of the blue to review their new game True Swing Golf. I was pleasantly surprised that some of the folks there were not only bloggers, they were reading my golf blog!
They gave me a tough gig: play a fun game and write about it. There are worse jobs…
The Nintendo DS Unit
First I need to cover the Nintendo DS unit, which is the platform True Swing Golf operates on. The DS is the most modern version of the series of Game Boy units. My kids initially had the regular Game Boy Color, and two years ago my son got a Game Boy Advance for Christmas.
DS stands for “dual screen.” The DS is basically a super cool Gameboy with two back lit screens, stereo speakers, wireless networking, a microphone, internal rechargeable battery, and one touchscreen with a stylus that you use like a PDA. This is a very cool unit. I love the fact that it uses it’s own proprietary internal rechargeable battery (it does come with charger cable) so I don’t have to spend a fortune on batteries at the store.
HOG fantasy players better have your teams set! It starts in about 10 hours! Also there are now about 40 teams! Awesome!
How often do you practice on the range?
I’ll admit that I had intended to hit the range about 3-5 times a week last year. That ended up being the occasional warmup bucket before rounds, and that is why I didn’t improve my scoring last year.
Hit the new poll and let’s see how often the average person here does practice.
