The famous Hooked On Golf Blog World Tour resumes today. I’m heading to the airport in a few hours. All packed. Ready to go. The HWT returns to perhaps my favorite golf course on the planet, Black Mesa Golf Club. It has been far too long since I visited the course back in 2012.

In addition to Black Mesa I will also be checking out Paa-Ko Ridge this Sunday. Paa-Ko Ridge is a very highly rated course and I’m looking forward to checking it out. I really dig the New Mexico landscape and what it can help produce in terms of golf architecture.

If time allows, I may try to sneak down to Cochiti Golf Course as well.
Just arrived here at HOG world headquarters is the 2nd edition of Tom Watson’s instructional DVD, Lessons of a Lifetime.
I’ll be reviewing the program soon and writing a full review so stay tuned. I will be skipping right to the short game lessons first, the area I need the most work.
I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Rick Limpert for his radio show on Netcast Studio, “Tech of Sports.” Rick is a very connected and knowledgeable guy in the worlds of technology and miscellaneous sports, especially tennis and golf. It was great meeting Rick and playing some golf with him in Michigan earlier this year. He’s a cool cat and produces a massive amount of great content.
Here’s the interview below in audio form. Click the play button on the left side of the controls. We discuss the beginnings of HOG, the game of golf, golf media, gear, Tiger Woods, and all sorts of other interesting subjects.
Many thanks to Rick Limpert.
larrydoh on Instagram (you know Instagram, that website where you mask bad photos with filters) found this golf ball on the first hole at Congressional Country Club. Yes, it appears to be the golf ball of golfer, I mean president Barack Obama.

This photo is all over the web and I debated whether to post it since it is getting plenty of coverage already. But why isn’t anyone asking or mentioning where on the first hole it was found? My guess would be LEFT of the fairway.
Carry on.
If you were to ask my opinion, I’d say the golf ball market is pretty saturated. We don’t really need more brands and models. That said though, perhaps we could use more (or some) “affordable” high performance golf balls. Perhaps these new Monsta Golf balls fill that niche.
Monsta Golf Balls
The Monsta ball is a 3-layer ball with a cast urethane cover. Most “tour” level golf balls like the Titleist ProV1 feature the same cover material.
I will put these balls into play soon. I take many rounds to work up my reviews so stay tuned.
