Golf web nuggets
I check all the golf blogs and sites I know each day. There are a couple I really like. My two favorite golf blogs right now are Jamboy and Saguaro Open.
My golf surfing somehow ended up at the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews last night. Strange how you can end up at certain places.
I saw some interesting nuggets there. First I read the HUGE list of illegal drivers. Most seem to be Japanese models. Pick up an illegal Japanese version of your favorite driver and blow your drives past your friends…
Then I took the rules quiz. These rules quizzes are tough! I found myself just trying to make an educated guess on some of them. I eeked out 4 out of 10 for my first quiz, on the “medium” setting. Smokin’.
The last and perhaps most interesting nugget is courtesy of my pal Bogeyman over at Bogey Lounge. There’s an article floating around in cybergolfspace showing Danielle Aimee of the Big Break III topless and in a G-string. (She does have her clubs with her). There’s something odd about the pic so I’m guessing it’s a photoshop job. Seems odd to me that she would be posing topless for a photo opp, but not have her usual “level” of makeup. Some of the shadows don’t quite look right either. But if it is real, she has a bodacious set of…..clubs. VA VA VOOM.
Leonard is cruising
Justin Leonard has a 5 stoke lead now after round 2 of the St. Jude Classic. (62, 65) He’s just cruising along spanking the field right now. I don’t see any major changes there. He’ll have to melt down or someone will have to shoot pretty low to catch him over the weekend.
Every last piece of his gear has a Nike swoosh on it. That swoosh on the back of his putter couldn’t be any bigger.
St. Jude Classic round 1
Justin Leonard dropped a 62 today at the FedEx St. Jude Classic. He’s averaging 294.0 with the driver which is good enough for T83. Yup…Justin is one of the short hitters.
Speaking of short hitters, John Daly appears to have a case of “golfer’s elbow.” After doing a ton of work on my basement last year I had a case of “tennis elbow” AND “golfer’s elbow” at the same time. The difference? The pain is on top of the elbow with tennis elbow. The pain is under the elbow when you have golfer’s elbow.
I was at the point last year where I couldn’t reach up to touch my nose. I couldn’t lift a glass of water or gallon of milk. It took an entire year before all the pain went away. The strange thing with this ailment is that taking time off doesn’t really seem to help. I took an entire month off from golfing, and within one driver strike the pain was back.
I still get small flareups, especially if I hit harder balls. I have to hit softer balls (like V1’s).
JD is my buddy and I hope he doesn’t have tennis or golfer’s elbow. It is no fun at all.
Rankings Added (thanks MJ)

You will now see that one of the sidebars now has a new section here. This section is a ranking section which currently contains the Top 10 world golf rankings, and the top 10 PGA rankings in earnings per start. My buddy MJ from MJ on GOLF spends a lot of time and effort putting these together and is kind enough to supply the code for posting it on your own site. So here is a thank you to MJ! Go over and visit his golf blog. It is one of the best out there.
Speaking of rankings… Monday this week Vijay Singh snatched back the world #1 ranking, even though he and Tiger didn’t play. There was also some other shuffling around in the rankings. Chris DiMarco and Kenny Perry are climbing up into the mix. Retief is still in the top 5 which kind of surprises me. He hasn’t won a tournament this year on the PGA Tour. Somehow Ernie is still ahead of Phil despite the fact that Phil has won 2 more PGA events than Ernie this year. Ernie’s European Tour Wins must be the reason.
Snapshot these rankings and let us see how different they may be after the US Open.
We knew that already

“They are among a growing group of people exploring the potential of blogs, or Web logs, as a marketing tool and advertising venue.”
CNN has a story about how some of the main stream media are starting to look at blogs as a marketing and advertising tool, rather than the online journal of a web geek.
We knew that already.
