Me and my buddy Rocco

Rocco Mediate is one of the most liked pro golfers out there and there are many reasons. He’s cool, friendly and willing to give a little of his time to talk to fans. Not to mention that he’s a good example for golfers with regards to playing fast. I’ve had the chance to hang with Rocco a few times. Nice cat.

This past weekend Rocco played in and WON his first Champions Tour event, the Allianz Championship. HOG congrats go out to our pal Rocco!

Well played.

Switch Belts – click for HOG review

Below is the 2nd (and now annual) video interview I’ve done with my Utah native pals at Switch Belt. Switch Belt is company based out of Provo, Utah which makes plastic golf belts. Check out my Switch Belt review.

In the video here we check in with Sam Clayton and see what’s on the agenda for 2013, and evaluate 2012. Things are looking good for this cool and young golf company.

Here’s a quick and fun video from the 2013 PGA Merchandise Show. This one is the Ogio X4 Synergy golf push cart. Before you comment that the cart looks too big when folded, this is a setup designed for golfers who want to leave the golf bag on the cart when folding it up rather than having to take the clubs off.

Thanks to my very close friends at Golf Channel for the cool gift. Signed, James…

I got a neat gift in the mail from Golf Channel this week. It is a promotional goodie basket for their newly re-vamped Morning Drive show. Love the coffee mug and the wife and I are going to have an arm wrestle to see who gets the jammy pants. For those who know my lady, you know I might not win that one. Also inside is a neat alarm clock with the morning drive logo.

The best part though was the nice note.

Thanks to my very close friends at TGC!

Signed, James…
