The PGA Tour’s Waste Management Phoenix Open is this week. This is probably the craziest PGA Tour event, though they’ve toned it down a bit this year by disallowing the “caddie races.” Boo.

In the water at the tournament is a large Waste Management logo. This floating logo was constructed out of 140,000 used golf balls. Below is a time lapse video of the construction. Very cool.


Coolest Box of Bridgestone Golf Balls…EVER

This has to be the first time I value the box more than I value the golf balls inside the box!  How cool is this?

Inside are four individual sleeves of R&D Prototype B330 model Bridgestone Golf balls: B330, B330-S, B330-RX, B330-RXS.  That’s awesome.

One problem though is that Bridgestone must not know my home course.  There are so many hazards I could lose a sleeve on the first hole or two.

Need more…  🙂

What an honor it was last week to spend a few minutes interviewing Mr. Fitness, golf legend Gary Player. Interviewing the Black Knight is certainly one of the best highlights in the history of this modest golf blog.

In the interview below I discuss fitness with the 9-time major champion and member of the “Big Three,” the other two of course being Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.

Enjoy…
