HOG World Tour heading to Moab
Greetings from southbound interstate 15 at 7:47am. I’m en route to Moab Utah to add two golf courses to the HOG World Tour courses list. Adding a little fun to this tour leg is that I’m joined by my dad and shortly my buddy Shanego.
Moab Golf Course
The first course on the list is the Moab golf course, on the south end of town. Tee time today is 1:30. I’m anxious to see this course which is in the heart of my favorite area in the world, red rock country. Right next door is Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park. The Colorado river cuts right through town as well.
I’ll be posting some images of the Moab course later today so stay tuned.
Hideout Golf Course
The 2nd course on this leg of the HOG World Tour is The Hideout in Monticello, Utah. I passed through and looked at a few holes last month and when I saw it I knew I had to come back and play the course as soon as possible.
The Hideout Golf Course has beautiful tree lined holes and a lot of great eleveation changes. Click for more images.
Tee time is tomorrow at 10:30am.
Canyonlands National Park
Following turnaround at the Hideout we will be venturing into Canyonlands National Park’s southern end, as it is just a few miles north of Monticello. On the agenda is hiking and shooting about 1000 photos of the spectacular red rock scenery.

This week on the European Tour is the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in St. Andrews. The tournament is played on three St. Andrews area courses, the Old Course, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns. Having played two of the three (Old Course and Kingsbarns) it is very enjoyable to watch the play and reminisce about my rounds there.
The ocean side holes at Kingsbarns are fabulous! Click to see more
I strongly recommend watching the final round if you can. The Old Course is the track for round four and unfortunately if you missed the previous rounds, you won’t see Carnoustie or Kingsbarns. Kingsbarns (pictured above) is one hell of a track that could give Pebble or any ocean side links a run for its money.
Next time I visit, Carnoustie will be on the play list.
Mountain lion tracks in bunker
Very neat natural variance in the greenside bunker today on the 1st hole at Mountain Dell Canyon Course. There were hundreds of mountain lion tracks.
These mountain lion paw prints are about 4 inches wide. Here kitty kitty...
We figure overnight that the lion had chased a midnight snack around the bunker for a bit. You know how kitties like to play with their prey for a while before the chow down on it. Unfortunately my playing partner’s ball ended up in one of these tracks. Bogey.

iPING on my Ping Scottsdale Senita putter – click to zoom
I’m a not only a golf guy, I’m a Mac guy. In fact I have a Mac site and blog called The Mac Space which has been running for years which I work on occasionally. I put way more time in here though. Way more. So being a Mac guy does mean that I have an iPhone. I have many golf apps which have been submitted for review and I really hope to get to them, probably in the winter when there’s less time to play golf. Perhaps the coolest app I’ve gotten though, which I moved to the top of the review queue, is the iPING app and iPING putter iPhone cradle. This is cool! Check it out.
iPING Overview
iPING is a two component system for analyzing and improving putting, which also happens to recommend a suitable PING putter when asked. Sure no problem. Love PING putters.
Component one is the iPING cradle, which mounts an iPhone 4 to any putter shaft. Sorry, but if you have any iPhone earlier than a 4 you are out of luck. Time to upgrade.
Component two is the iPhone application itself, which is truly amazing. This is no haphazardly put together rush job. The interface is beautiful and the features many.
The app is free, however the cradle is $30. But if you struggle with your putting, this could be the best $30 you’ve ever spent. (more…)
