Introducing the HOG Golfer’s 12 days of Christmas.

For the next 12 days I’m going to be featuring my “must have” golf gift list. I’m starting the 12 days on December 1st. Why? So you can show your spouse and friends the list and they’ll still have time to get you what’s on the list for Christmas! The items on this list will all be items I’ve covered in the last year and I’ll include links to my articles on them.

Maxfli Black Max Golf Balls

Maxfli Black Max Golf Balls

The first item: Maxfli Blackmax golf balls!

The Blackmax is about the most durable ball I’ve ever played. It is LONG and has plenty of spin around the greens. It explodes off my irons and flies true. Try some out!

I was doing my daily rounds on all the golf blogs (as many as I could at least) and found out via The Undaunted Duffer that it’s St. Andrews day

John DalyJohn Daly withdrew from a silly season tourney, the Bard Capital Challenge due to a broken hand.

He broke his hand 400 miles down the road from my place in Mesquite, Nevada while playing at the Duff Challenge.

I hope that’s how it happened.

There is a new drink out there geared toward helping golfers. Launched in April of 2005 by my new pal Jon Mason, Swing Juice is the premium energy drink for golfers.

Swing Juice is an energy drink “designed to increase concentration and sharpen focus, giving you the mental edge needed to improve your game.” Sounds good. How do you do that?

Gingko Biloba- helps to sharpen Focus and maintain Concentration.

Ginseng- has been shown to reduce the effects of stress, improve performance

Natalie Gulbis – What’s all the fuss about?

After watching The Big Break IV tonight I saw a promo for the “Natalie Gulbis Show.” I thought what the hell, let’s watch it and see what all the fuss is about.

This show is one hour of a camera following Natalie around. She goes to the spa, she gets interviewed on a TV show, she plays some golf. Fine.

The most entertaining part of the episode without a doubt was a quote from Big Break III winner Daniel Aimee (remember the Barbie doll golfer?) during a practice round with Natalie. She was reaching into her shirt for something that fell in there and said “my implants are going to pop.” Classic.

…Ok, so I’ve seen Natalie play golf. She can certainly hit a golf ball. Turned pro in 2002, no wins. I’ve seen her swimsuit calendars, and for an LPGA player she is alright looking. She’s not Sports Illustrated Swimsuit caliber by any means though. And now I’ve watched a so-so at best reality TV show about her. One is enough for sure.

Am I the only one wondering what all the fuss is about?
