Almost every golf ad you see says their product can add distance to your drives. I was very confused when I heard Eidolon Golf make the same claim about their V-Sole Wedges. How can a wedge add yards to your drives? We’re about to find out.

When Winter comes around in my neck of the woods I can’t get out and golf much. I also can’t golf much when I have torn cartilage in my chest, but that’s another story…
I’ve got two golf sites: www.hookedongolfblog.com and www.webcountryclub.com. Web Country Club has been strictly a golf forum for over a year now. Over the last few months I’ve been getting more and more into web design, hosting, forums, blogs, shopping etc. I’ve revamped Web Country Club and added a Pro Shop (online store), classifieds and a bunch of other stuff. I’m still working on much of it.
With what I’ve learned about blogs, hosting, forums etc., and with the explosion of golf blogs and sites out there, I’ve come up with a nutty idea: Web hosting specifically geared toward the GOLF industry. Hear me out:
The site: The Golf Server
How many golf blogs are under the blogger umbrella? Dozens if not hundreds. They all have names like “mygolfblog.blogspot.com.” Would it be cooler for a golf site to have “mygolfblog.thegolfserver.com” rather than “mygolfblog.blogspot.com”??? Or am I just on drugs? OK, I admit it… I am on lortab right now.
At The Golf Server I can setup a sub domain (like “mygolfblog.thegolfserver.com”) or setup a whole entire site (like mygolfblog.com). Any of the popular blogging software can be used: WordPress, b2Evolution, movable type, even blogger’s. And I can also setup golf forums, shops, photo galleries, chat rooms or whatever. I have a sample blog running under WordPress you can check out: http://blogs.thegolfserver.com.
With all the new golf sites and blogs popping up I thought why not get involved? Why not see if anyone is interested? Any ideas folks?
So what’s it worth? I don’t know. It is my first web experiment for 2006. I’m going to start out with hosting blogs for free under the abcd.thegolfserver.com setup. I’ll see if I get any nibbles. Maybe to pay for the bandwidth put some small google ads there. Thoughts? Wanna be a test subject and try a free golf blog?
2006 is here and now the golf bloggers are revving up their blogs for 2006.
New golf blogs (at least to me)
Luke Swilor is a new golf blogger. He’s got a cool angle. He’s a young pro golfer trying to work his way to the PGA Tour. He’s also a neighbor! Luke and I intend to have the first ever on the course golf blogger match. I need shots…
30 Dollar Golf is all about finding good golf at a good price.
Golfing Zen is a golf blog dedicated to the mental game. (my weakness for sure).
Veteran golf blogs:
The Sand Trap is back after a holiday break.
Though he hasn’t posted since December 21st, you know my pal Rich at eatgolf is going to be busting out something cool.
Bogey took a small break and he’s back.
Golf Chick is the most decorated golf blogger out there unless someone out there has the hardware to prove otherwise.
Robert Thompson is definitely THE golf blogger from the great white North, aye?
Wounded Duck is about the most “to the point” golf blogger out there.
MJonGolf was one of the original golf bloggers. He’s had some what a of quandry as to just what he wants to blog about. And I hope this is not bad news, but I just went to his site and it’s just an index. There’s no site there now. Is MJ bagging it or working on something new?
Kiwi has gotten to be a good buddy. Check out his blog from New Zealand.
Golf Punk is my idol golf site. One check of the bunker babes is all you need to know why.
GolfBlogger is one of the elite golf blogs. He’s just opened a forum too.
There are TONS of other golf blogs out there. A year or so ago there were very few. If I didn’t mention you I probably still have you linked in the HOG Master Links section. If not, comment in and I’ll add you to the list!
The slogan here is “Golf, life (in that order).” Pretty much sums up my mindset. But I found this thing called a “sloganizer” and I typed in Hooked On Golf Blog to see if it could come up with a better slogan. Here are my favorites:
«I’d sleep with Hooked On Golf Blog.»
«Hooked On Golf Blog, pure lust.»
«I lost weight with Hooked On Golf Blog.»
«Don’t mess with Hooked On Golf Blog.»
«Swing your Hooked On Golf Blog.»
«I’d walk a mile for Hooked On Golf Blog.»
«Don’t get in the way of Hooked On Golf Blog.»
«Hooked On Golf Blog. Making people sucessful in a changing world.»
«Take what you want, but leave Hooked On Golf Blog alone!»
«Hooked On Golf Blog – spice up your life.»
«You don’t want Hooked On Golf Blog as your enemy!»
«My Hooked On Golf Blog, your Hooked On Golf Blog, Hooked On Golf Blog for all!»
«Have a break, have a Hooked On Golf Blog.»
«Hooked On Golf Blog never sleeps.»
«I quit smoking with Hooked On Golf Blog.»
«It’s not a dream. Hooked On Golf Blog is real!»
Well, maybe my original slogan is good enough.
For fun let’s try typing in “naked women”
«naked women- what more could you want?»
«naked women – it’s like heaven!»
«naked women – get ready.»
«Enjoy naked women.»
«See the world with naked women.»
«naked women for you!»
«naked women for your life.»
«When you say naked women you’ve said it all.»
«I believe in naked women.»
«hhmmmmm… naked women.»
«naked women, i want it all.»
«God made naked women.»
«Halleluja, it’s a naked women.»
«Can you feel naked women?»
«naked women wanted.»
«Connect with naked women.»
«I fall for naked women.»
«It’s time to think about naked women.»
«A day with naked women.»
«My naked women, your naked women, naked women for all!»
«Endless possibilities with naked women.»
Now let’s type in… oh nevermind.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Right now I’m in the middle of my other gig (literally). I’m also a professional drummer in a rock & roll band. Right now I’m on stage playing for hundreds (maybe thousands) of drunk people who are celebrating the new year.
2005 was a hell of a golf blog year and I’m looking forward to making 2006 even better!
Take care and drive safely…. Well, better just get a hotel room to be sure.
