Man this week has sucked for golf. It has been raining nearly non stop since Monday. The weather so far this year has been awful, and I’m getting farther and farther behind on my gear reviews because it has been so unplayable this year. Even my local course is down in revenues six figures over last year’s worse economy.
Tuesday league: cancelled. Thursday money game: cancelled. Friday round: will be cancelled. Sunday morning round: 60% chance of rain.
I was considering heading to home depot to start pickup up materials to build an ark, but then it crossed my mind that Tiger Woods’ yacht might still be for sale…
All the media scribes are going nuts about Tiger Woods eminent drop out of the top 10 next week in the world golf ranking. First time in 14 years since he will be out of the top 10.
Sure that is golf news and everyone needs to mention Tiger for traffic, but the more interesting thing to me is that it took this long for it to happen. He hasn’t won a tournament in 1.5 years and hasn’t exactly played great during that period either.
I don’t think Tiger is “done” as some critics are saying. He is after all only 35. Think about the length of some other players’ careers like Vijay Sing, Kenny Perry, Fred Couples etc. But the injuries keep coming and the swing changes don’t seem to be working just yet.

I’ve just uploaded a YouTube video I shot on my latest HOG World Tour stop at Sand Hollow Golf Course in Hurricane, Utah. Sand Hollow is a special place to say the least. It is amazing.
Left of the 12th hole is a cliff with a giant drop off, and right of the hole is a red rock cliff which rises hundreds of feet above.
