Reno-Tahoe Open? Who cares?

Who is leading the Reno-Tahoe Open? Who cares? It’s more entertaining to see who missed the cut: Azinger goes 69/81? Duval goes 82/77 (he’s only 28 shots from the lead).

Tiger, Vijay, Phil and many other top tier players at the NEC Invitational, where they’re bombing drives in the 375-400+ range.

Tiger and Luke Donald are atop the leaderboard but only because of a sloppy finish by Tiger. Vijay and DLIII also gagged their way down the stretch.

How about Tiger’s shirt today? First I thought he was wearing a vest. Then it looked like he wasn’t. Then it looked like he was. Tiger kept messing with his sleeves and it did look like the sleeves were not quite right for him. The yellow-white-yellow gradient just wasn’t working for me either.

There was only one gallery member today. He was quiet and quite friendly. I think he was hungry though…

I just barely got over the sadness of MJonGolf’s hanging up his golf blogger shoes. Now he’s back, with a clear mission: “to help golfers achieve their full potential, and highest level of enjoyment, by teaching Moe Norman’s single-axis swing and properly fitting them to their equipment.”

Best of luck MJ. Glad to see you back. You’re back on the blogroll.

Go visit MJ…now.


Found some interesting golf balls

My kids and I finally went through the HUNDREDS of golf balls we’ve found over the last couple of weeks here on the course. I’m living on the #17th fairway for about 2-4 more weeks 🙁

These two particular balls seemed interesting. The Nike ball is obviously some kind of prototype. Perhaps they try some stuff with different prototypes and give them numbers. Then they wait for feedback from the testers and cross reference the numbers with the tester’s opinions… Sounds logical.

The Spalding ball I can’t believe we found. This course we’re on is only about 4-5 years old. But this ball is considerably older than that. And was someone playing this thing? No wonder they lost it. It’s so oblong it wouldn’t fly straight with a 120mph tail wind.


Amazing poll results so far

Current poll numbers

I’m pretty amazed that at this point 38% of you folks play 20 or more rounds per month of golf! You guys are crazy, just like me.

Vote if you haven’t already!
