Quagmire Golf DewSweeper Polo – white
The term “Dew Sweeper” comes from a reference to golfer who has very early tee times, early enough that there is still dew on the ground. If one is playing in a tournament on the last day or two, this certainly isn’t a term you’d like to be associated with because the players in the worst position on the leaderboard start first.
Quagmire DewSweeper Golf Polo
The Quagmire Golf “DewSweeper” golf polo shirt is certainly a more positive use of the term. The DewSweeper is a very unique golf polo with a slanted button up setup. Quagmire always seems to do something interesting and unique with their shirts, which sets them apart and makes them very recognizable. This button pattern certainly does that.
The material in the DewSweeper is a 100% polyester. Yay! No cotton! I really love polys because they’re a breeze to care for, don’t wrinkle easily and last forever.
The DewSweeper’s polyester also is a “wicking” material, which brings moisture away from the player’s skin and sends it to the outside of the shirt, where it will evaporate. In short, it keeps you nice and dry.
Sizes/Colors
The DewSweeper is available in men’s medium through XXL. No small, but I’ve found that Quagmire’s shirts fit more “euro-style.” To me that means smaller and tighter fitting.
Color choices for the DewSweeper include purple (pictured below right), white and blue. (more…)

What guy would want to caddie for Natalie? That gig would not suck. Click for more Natalie images...
Golf babe Natalie Gulbis just announced via Twitter that her caddie is leaving her to pursue a gig on the PGA Tour. I’ve already offered my services for the job, though I’m not sure the lovely wife would dig the gig as much as I would.
I’m guessing that the PR machine that is TaylorMade/adidas will be coming up with some sort of contest giving a Natalie fan a chance to carry her bag, though I’m sure she’ll pick a real pro in the end.
Would you volunteer to caddie for Natalie? What are your qualifications?

This is a bizarre story. A passing motorcyclist had “several” of her teeth knocked by an errant golf ball when riding by the 14th hole at Murfreesboro’s Indian Hills Golf Course in Tennessee. Fortunately the woman didn’t crash. The full story can be read here on The Tennessean.
Peanut Gallery Comments
In my group we always tell our buddies “put your mouthpiece in” when they are in the line of fire.
No word as to what score the golfer posted on that hole.
I’ll be here all weekend. Try the veal.

I may have to start a new category for all of the apps that are coming out in the golf world. Okay that is now done. New HOG APP CATEGORY created!
Yesterday Nike Golf announced a new app for golfers, the NG360 app:

“The NG360 App is an easy-to-use tool that will allow golfers to track their rounds to see how they stack up; improve their swing techniques with the help of coaches; and view and implement athletic training workouts that are golf-specific.” ~from Nike Golf press release
Key components of the app’s first version are My Game, My Swing, My Body and My Gear.
“The new NG360 App is one piece of a bigger initiative that is a holistic approach to improving golfers’ performance through physical evaluation and training, custom fitting of equipment and digital tracking applications.” ~from Nike Golf press release
NG360 Video below. Not too hip on the “get the props you deserve” line, but the rest is fine.

I’ll add this system to my review queue and do a post about it when I’ve made some conclusions. Until then you can read the entire Nike Golf NG360 press release from the HOGWire.biz newswire for more information.
Review: adidas Samba Golf Shoes
This past review period for the adidas Sambas has been about as fun as one could imagine. I first put them into play on my favorite course in the world, Black Mesa. I beat them up right out of the box, climbing like a mountain goat on the New Mexico sand hills and plateaus looking for great photo opportunities. Then there was the round yesterday, my best ever, here at home.

Samba Overview
The Samba shoe was originally a soccer shoe. The golf version seems to be a cross between the soccer shoe, a golf shoe and the new street shoe styles which are hot right now. The platform of the shoe isn’t like a standard golf shoe with the big heel and thick sole. It seems to get the player closer to the ground as a result of the “THINTECH” low-profile design. (more…)
