How can I not post this video of Miguel Angel Jimenez teaching his world famous “Most Interesting Stretching Routine in the World” to a crowd of golfers?
For many golfers it is their dream to play golf with their idol Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods. I think my biggest dream (other than the one with all the Sports Illustrated swimsuit models, the rose petals, incense, circus swings, and body oil), is to have a glass of wine and a cigar with Miguel Angel Jimenez.
New Additions to the Golf Book Queue From Dave Stockton, Gil Capps, and Mark Broadie
Time to mention three new golf books which have been added to my massive reading list.
Own Your Game
First up is a book I’m going to read very soon by one of my all time favorite golfers Dave Stockton. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Dave on several occasions and he’s been nothing less than a gentlemen and willing to chat it up with you. He’s arguably one of the best putters, ever.
Dave’s new book is called Own Your Game: How to Use Your Mind to Play Winning Golf
The Magnificent Masters
Being a Masters aficionado naturally this book is going to be high up on my to-read list, the Gil Capps book, The Magnificent Masters: Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, Tom Weiskopf, and the 1975 Cliffhanger at Augusta
The Masters is coming up in a couple of weeks. Good timing.
Every Shot Counts
Last but not least in today’s book queue additions is the Mark Broadie book, Every Shot Counts: Using the Revolutionary Strokes Gained Approach to Improve Your Golf Performance and Strategy
paradigm-shifting approach that uses statistics and golf analytics to transform the game.
PGA Tour Gallery Members Are STILL Yelling Dumb Things? Really? SHUT UP ALREADY

I don’t do a lot of “reporting” of PGA Tour or professional golf here, the web is overflowing with people regurgitating that information. Perhaps the most useless reporting is the photos of the winner’s bag. Great! Pictures of hand-made tour-only clubs any regular golfer can’t get, and if they could they would not be able to hit them…. That’s a post rant for another day though.
After a small “procedure” I had on Friday of this past weekend, I was couch bound as per doctor’s orders so I finally watched a full broadcast of professional golf. I watched the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. The FIRST thing I heard on the broadcast thankfully was not a discussion about Tiger Woods. Perhaps worse than that, it was some idiot, a lady this time, yelling at the top of her lungs “mashed potatoes” just as Adam Scott hit a tee shot.
Really? Are people STILL yelling these stupid things like “you da man,” and “get in the hole” (on 475 yard par-4’s of course), and “mashed potatoes?” REALLY?
STOP. PLEASE. It is no longer funny. In fact, it is dumb. Those of you who are yelling these boneheaded things are showing the millions of viewers who the dumbest person in the gallery is, YOU. Show some class. Shut up.
Assuming these boneheads don’t shut up, WHEN will the PGA Tour grow some golf balls and start kicking these idiots out of the event?
167 Tees and NO Sand Found in Dad’s Golf Bag

My pops knows that whenever he needs some new golf gear, I’ll take care of him. His old golf bag at his club, a cart bag, was hammered. He needed a new one. So I gave him a fantastic new bag which was complete with a large skull on it. Perfect for a 77 year old country club type. What a rebel. I received this great email from him after he switched over to the new bag:
Just transferred golf items to new bag. Thank you for a much needed upgrade. Definitely need slim, slim club covers so clubs cam fit in slots. In transfer I discovered 28 ball markers, 12 pencils, 22 ball mark repair pools, 3 pairs of golf gloves (which I never use), $1.22 in small coins, 3 foreign coins, 33 golf balls in various stages of decomposition and — drum roll — 167 tees!! (After extensive search, no sand was found in my old bag!) p
That’s the “what’s in my dad’s golf bag” post… Definitely no sand in his bag. He’s a player.
