The Pundits Have Spoken
I shortened the last HOG Poll to get the new poll in this week.
The last poll question inquired about the strength of your game. Driving won out surprisingly. I thought driving was hard? And what about the “mental” game? NO votes!
What is the strongest part of your game?
Mental Game -> 0% (0 Votes) 0%
Short Game -> 21% (8 Votes) 21%
Irons -> 21% (8 Votes) 21%
Putting -> 24% (9 Votes) 24%
Driving -> 34% (13 Votes) 34%
Happy birthday pop
I’d like to wish my dad a happy 69th birthday today, January 10th.
69 years old and he can blast my old Titleist 983K driver (hand me down) damn near as far as I hit my Ping G2!
Appleby wins at Apple-lua
Newsflash: Kapalua Golf Course has been renamed to “Apple-lua” after Stewart Appleby won his 3rd Mercedes Championship in a row. He’s going to have to build a new wing onto his house to store all the Mercedes cars he wins every January. Shall we just write him in next year too?
Other blogs are claiming this year’s PGA Tour has started with a ho-hum, boring start. I don’t think they are true golf fans. This was a truly great tournament and a very good “test” of the players’ skills. The greens were brutally fast and the winds were 20-40 miles per hour for 4 straight days. If that was ho-hum golf, perhaps those bloggers ought to blog about something else.
The finish was fun too. Appleby had to birdie the 663 yard 18th hole just to get into a playoff with Vijay Singh who posted -8 with a stellar round. Appleby then birdied the 18th again to win.
Now the question I’ve asked before: Can Appleby win some other tournament?
Help HOG win the 2006 Bloggies
I’ve never put HOG in any kind of thing like this but let’s try and see what happens…
The Sixth Annual Weblog Awards (Bloggies) are underway and I’d love to have your support. Just head on over to 2006.bloggies.com and enter HOG. The more pub the site gets, the bigger it gets and the more free drivers and boxes of ProV1’s I can hand out to each visitor….well, maybe not.
I’m bummed they don’t have a sports weblog category. That’s kind of dumb. But these are the categories that I’m shooting for:
Best American Weblog
Best Topical Weblog
Best-Designed Weblog
Weblog of the Year
