The Pundits Have Spoken
The latest HOG poll has closed.
This was the most popular poll yet at 175 votes! Thanks for your participation! I now realize the poll has been broken for a while since no votes worked on the previous poll.
The results please:
30% of you drive the ball in the 225-250 yard range, followed closely by 28% of you in the 275-300 range. Most of you were honest and only 2% voted on 300+ yard average.

Will the real Tiger Woods house please stand up?
I posted an article and some photos of a junk email floating around the web which were supposedly Tiger’s house.
I’ve received some less than friendly emails from real estate agents in Maui stating that the house in question was not Tiger’s, and that it was a rental that goes for $4k-$6K per night there.
Now there’s real news that Tiger has bought a “compound” of about 10 acres on Jupiter Island for about $40,000,000. You mean for $40,000,000 you can’t get your own island?
Price gouging? The guy who owns that particular compound now bought it for $16.7 million in 2003. Do you think he jacked the price up a bit when he found out who was interested? Welcome to America.
Nickent announces a Pipe Blade Putter
Nickent’s press release:
Nickent Golf Launches Innovative PIPE Blade Putters
Nickent Golf sure knows how to bring in the New Year! The up-and-coming company that took the PGA Tour and the golf world by storm in 2005 announced today that the PIPE Putter is now available in two new “blade†version models: the PP-004 (Plumber-Neck Blade) and the PP-005 (Flare-Tip Blade).
Initial manufacturer tests show that the innovative design of the PIPE Blade makes it the highest MOI blade putter in the game.
“In the era of high-MOI putters, there are only a few putters out there that have the ability to be a blade style design and a high MOI putter,†said Nickent Senior Vice President John Hoeflich. “Our new PIPE Blade features a classic blade shape combined with a very high MOI created by the light thermoplastic PIPE scheme and heavy tungsten back weight. It’s two putter design elements in one for the best in feel, alignment and traditional beauty.â€

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.
The Golf Server: Golf blog and site hosting.
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?
