Oh man. John Daly (my gambling buddy) is going to be the subject of a reality show. Let’s see….Paris Hilton, Ozzy and JD??!!
Starting this January 18th “The Daly Planet” will be on The Golf Channel. 13 episodes on Wednesday nights.
I can pretty much sum it up for you so you don’t have to watch it.
Lots of food.
Lots of mullets.
Lots of smoking.
Lots of bad guitar, bad vocals and bad lyrics.
Lots of Diet Coke.
Not a lot of time on the driving range…
My buddy the Golf Grouch has an excellent post you should read about stolen golf clubs. There are many sneaky and down right blatant ways a crook can make off with your clubs. And they’ll be easy to dump on ebay.
The post made me wonder just how much dough I’d be out if my clubs got stolen:
Driver: $300 (if I used the expensive driver it would be $699)
3W: $500 (yep, high end I know)
Hybrid: $230
Irons: $800
Wedges: $520
Putter: $140
Balls: $80
Misc items in bag: $60
Bag: $150
Rain gear, jackets etc: $200
Umbrella: $50
Sunglasses: $150
Wallet: I put my wallet in my bag when I play. Who knows how much is in there!
Total $3180
One new way the thugs are snagging clubs is this: A player joins up as a single. A few holes into the round he mentions that he’d forgotten a club on the last hole. So he takes the cart, with his and your clubs on it, back to presumably get the lost club. Instead, the crook drives all the way to the parking lot where he loads your entire bag (and probably your wallet inside your bag) into his trunk and drives away. All the while you’re standing out there on the course wondering what’s taking so long for the guy to get his lost club.
Be careful out there. Take your bag off the cart if some stranger needs to go back. You can tell him it’s “to keep up the pace of play.”
The final LPGA event of the season has ended. At the ADT Championship Annika Sorenstam won by 2 shots. This marked Annika’s 10th victory of the season. She’s only one of two women to ever do that. This marks her 3rd victory in her last 4 starts and her 66th in her career.
Eat it up now folks. All due respect to Michelle Wie and Paula Creamer, you may never see a better woman golfer in your lifetime.
There’s been an email floating around the net saying these pictures are of Tiger Woods’ house…
I guess if you had over $300,000,000 in the bank you could have a house this nice too. Interesting thing is that there isn’t one golf club, golf ball or trophy to be seen in this set of pics. I’m sure we’re not seeing all the rooms either though. I’d like to see the trophy room. It’s probaby bigger than my house.

I’ve managed to get the final missing chunks of the site back by using google! I found a cached version of the main page by simply typing in “golf blog” into google. Instead of clicking the link, I clicked on the word “cached” and voila! There’s my page from about a week or two ago! I just copied the source code and WOOOO! All is back and working. I wish I would have thought of that earlier and I’d have saved a ton of time. You don’t realize how many times you tweak a site like this in between backups 🙂
Whew. That ordeal is finally over.
