Tee-Minator Video
My pals at Frogger have outdone themselves. This promotional video they created for their Green Monsters bamboo tees is very well produced and entertaining.
My Current Perspective
Not much going on in the golf world until the first week of January. Good thing in a way, because with the the coming of my new baby Seve things are a bit busy here at HOG World Headquarters! Here are a couple of photos which express my current perspective… Didn’t realize a golf ball was that big, did you?
Badass Golf Cart
My friends and family know I’m a golf nut. Every day my email inbox is flooded with dumb golf jokes and photos. If I receive the “golfers running from the bear” or the “lady golfer with gigantic breasts” photos one more time I might lose my mind. Yesterday a new one (to me at least) hit my inbox from my dad. This is a bad ass golf cart if I’ve ever seen one.

During the HP Byron Nelson Classic last year I took the opportunity to follow Jordan Spieth. At that time, Spieth was an amateur from Texas who was sure to be on the PGA Tour in four years. Well, make that two years. He’s turning pro.

Spieth’s amateur career was very impressive. Here are a few of his accomplishments:
- First team All-American at the University of Texas at Austin
- Big 12 Player of the Year 2012
- Led Texas Longhorns to a NCAA National Championship in 2012
- Finalist for Ben Hogan Award, for the nations best college golfer
- Two U.S. Junior Amateur titles (2009, 2011). Tiger Woods the only other to win twice
- Made the cut in 6 of 8 professional events including T21 at the 2012 U.S. Open
The future is bright for this one. It will be fun to watch. The question will no doubt be whether or not turning pro at this point is a wise idea. Time will tell.
Oakley Suing Rory McIlory & Nike For Breach Of Contract
This article on ESPN.com goes into detail about a federal law suit filed by Oakley in Santa Ana, California. McIory’s contract is up with Oakley on 12/31/12, but they apparently have right of first refusal. This means Oakley would have the right to match an offer, which would end up being 30% of the rumored $20-25 million per year Nike inked with McIlory. They apparently were not given the opportunity to match.
This will be interesting to follow to say the least.
