New poll: US Open Playing Conditions
The US Open is 10 days, 8 hours, 41 minutes, and 48 seconds from right now (according to the Hooked On Golf Blog countdown ticker!).
In preparation for the US Open the new poll addresses your opinion on the playing conditions. Last year there were complaints from PGA players that the conditions were too difficult.
Would you like to see them struggle, have to overcome much adversity and possibly see an over par score win? Would you like to see a shootout like the Bob Hope? Do you think even par should win it? Do you care?
I think it should be extremely difficult with even par or higher winning it.
Vote now (lower left column) and the polls will close when the US Open begins.
Voters like women on the PGA Tour
The latest Hooked On Golf Blog poll is now closed. An overwhelming 65% voted yes when questioned whether or not women should be allowed to play in PGA Tour events. 50% did feel that the women must “qualify” just like the men do, with no sponsor exemptions. Results below:
Yes, if they qualify (no sponsor exemptions) -> 50%
No -> 22%
Yes -> 15%
Don’t care -> 12%

Unfortunately I was unable to actually watch golf at all this weekend because Comcast still hasn’t gotten my subscriptions working yet. (see this post) Now they say tomorrow. I’m dying over here without my golf TV.
Bary Bryant sneaks up on the rest of the field to win the Memorial. What happened to Tiger, Sluman & Freddie? I told you Sluman wouldn’t keep the lead….
Miguel wins the Welsh Open. The coolest thing about that is that we get to see him hold the trophy with a big fat stogey in his mouth. What a great example eh?
The most dominant golfer in the current era won another tournament. Gee what a surprise. At the ShopRite LPGA Classic she had a 1 shot lead going into the last hole. She eagled it just to remind the field that she was in control. Will someone on the LPGA Tour please step up and challenge Annika? Ochoa tried to challenger her but it was only a verbal challenge which she couldn’t back up.
On the PGA Tour we have the “Big 5.” On the LPGA Tour we have the “Big One.”

As far as I’m concerned Jack can just keep making farewell appearances. It was a privilege for me as a kid and adult to watch him play in the middle to end of his career. I only wish I would have followed golf a little more closely when I was younger.
I got the chance to follow Jack around for 18 holes at a then Senior Tour event in my town. He also played with a couple of other players you may have heard of: Arnold Palmer and Lee Trevino. That was very cool to watch.
Thanks for all the great performances and memories Jack. See you at St. Andrews.
Bogey Rants: New unhappy Comcast customer
In honor of BogeyMan at Bogey Lounge, I’m going to go off on a “bogey rant.”
If you’ve read my last couple of posts you’d know I’m in a new condo and I’ve gone through the worst hell a person can go through: moving. I was scheduled to have Comcast hook me up today with digital cable and high speed internet. As a subscriber to “other” services, I was looking forward to evaluating Comcast.
As promised, the install guy showed up at 9:30am (while I was hacking my way around a tournament) and installed the proper gear. When I got home at 2:30 my TV was hot but I couldn’t get the high speed internet working.
