Daly Planet: Almost as bad as the Natalie Gulbis show

“The Daly Planet” on The Golf Channel… This is the highly anticipated John Daly reality show.
TGC missed the boat (or should I say double wide). Where are the real behind the scenes clips? You know, the ones where strippers are flashing their breasts, drunk people are pounding beers, mini JD’s are at the barber getting their mullets trimmed, or perhaps JD is rolling out of bed after a “long” night.
I’d have to grade this program barely above the Natalie Gulbis show. That would be an F. The NG show was an F-. I may watch the 2nd episode to see if it’s any better, but I may opt to go get a prostate exam.
Very bad news
I just found out today that my former best friend’s Masters tickets were pulled. That would be the friend that was TAKING ME for 4 days.
Apparently his tickets were originally his deceased father’s. He was going to the tournament posing as his father or something like that. Someone apparently tattled on him and he lost the “privilege” to be a “patron.”
Talk about letting the air out of the balloon. I’m deflated for sure. But I’m still hoping to get my letter back from Augusta National informing me that I made the lottery for practice round tickets….
🙁
HOG news
Fantasy Golf
The fantasy league is going to be AWESOME! We’ve got 24 teams so far. Join now if you haven’t already. There will be prizes and Nintendo has signed on as a sponsor! I’m still looking for 2-3 more sponsors too so hopefully we can have some great prizes.
This Week On Tour
All last year I had a block on the left column for the current week’s tour events and TV times as best as I could get them. I hope that has been useful to you. To make it easier I’m moving it to it’s own page now. In order to publish that block in the left column I had to go into the site template and program the html code which was a total pain. Now I can just add the text into a static page. The link to that page is in the upper left internal links.
Podcasts?
As EatGolf has said, I have the gift of gab. It’s more like the gift of type. I’ve been considering doing podcasts. What is your opinion? Podcast or no? How often? What subjects? A certain sponsor has requested that their product be featured on a podcast so I’m experimenting with it. I’ve already got the feed and a test podcast is already listed in iTunes. Don’t bother checking it out yet though, it’s just a test.
Golf Blogs
New golf blogs
Point 1 Golf is a Chicago based golf blog that just started up. He’s focusing on golf in Chicago and local events/tournaments. Good luck.
Kiwi has a new golf blog he’s working on, no posts yet but I’ll let you know when he does.
Luke Swilor is a neighbor of mine and an aspiring pro. His blog cronicles his road to the tour. We plan on playing some golf here when the weather improves.
Down fore the count?
What is up with MJ these days? Just a server directory there now.
Bunker Mulligan‘s site is now taken down. RIP Bunker.
Still on the blogroll?
And I’m wondering how long a blog (not just golf blog mind you) should stay in someone’s blogroll without any new posts? Opinions? Some golf blogs out there still rank highly in search engines yet they haven’t posted in months. (Musey, Primary Rough, World Golf Views etc).
Eat Camera
My good buddy Rich from Eat Golf has finally gotten a decent camera. Go there and check out his wildlife pix. Look real closely at all of them. You’ll pay for this Rich. You’ll pay…
Bob Hope: “Hoping” not to see Kenny G
Here’s a quote from my 2005 preview of the Bob Hope:
Rant about the Bob Hope
The Hope is basically a shootout. If you like seeing low numbers, this one is for you. But what I DON’T like is watching freaking Michael Bolton golf. I’ll have to keep my distance on this one.
A year later my thoughts are exactly the same. Sure I’ll be tuning in to this tourney, but most likely when it’s pros only. Last year I thought this tournament was the George Lopez show. Guess what folks…I can’t stand George Lopez. He’s not funny. I swear I’ll turn the TV off the first time the camera goes on him.
Other players I “Hope” not to see:
Justin Timberlake: His name and golf should never be used in the same sentence.
Michael Bolton: Imagine yourself trapped in an elevator playing his music.
Rush Limbaugh: Stick to radio pal. Think he misses to the right?
Mary Povich: Stick to terrible TV pal.
Marshall Faulk: My favorite NFL player
