Tonight I’m going to an invite only grand opening of a place in town called Golf Lab. It’s a very high end indoor teaching facility. One of the founders apparently is a professional photographer and the lab is in his former studio. They have training bays setup with multiple cameras to video your swing along with computer analysis and tons of other cool stuff. Another founder is a physical trainer so he does body conditioning and flexibility.
Tonight’s deal is 2.5 hours of them showing you their wares, and probably trying to get you to sign up for one of their training packages. They have one package that includes a couple of lessons of all game facets (long game, short game, putting and even physical training and analysis). That package is $1500. Though I’m sure my game could use $1500 worth of work (and a hell of a lot more than that), I’m not sure I could pony up that kind of dough.
I’ll hopefully make some connections and have some good stuff to report. Maybe if I do a detailed feature on them here on HOG they’ll set me up with some training.
Report late tonight or tomorrow.

As many of you know, I’m a rock & roll musician. Drummer to be exact. I love heavy metal, loud guitars and heavy bashing drums. That’s one reason I can’t stand it when they put Kenny G on TV golfing.
I roll into the golf course at 7:16 am with my 12 speaker Harmon Kardon car stereo cranked to nearly the ear bleed level. I love to get pumped up for a round of golf cranking the likes of Tool, Otep, Killswitch Engage, Machine Head and many more. I love the look on the cart boy’s face when I pull into a more snooty establishment with my windows and sunroof open and spewing out metal all over their parking lot.
I quickly put a new poll in and cut the last one a little short. Michelle Wie is “taking on the men” (quote from TGC, not me) this week at the Sony Open in Hawaii.
Will Michelle Wie make the cut? Vote in the poll now and we’ll see if the “pundits” are right Friday!
Bogeyman has the scoop on this one so go read it at bogeylounge.tv.
In short golf digest has projected El Tigro’s earnings and he’ll have made a cool Billion (with a B) by 2010.
I think his personal wealth will reach that mark sooner than that if he’s investing what he already has wisely.
I knew I should have practiced golf more…
