Tiger Woods iPhone Application - click for more TW images
The timing of releasing a Tiger Woods swing iPhone application couldn’t be any worse. Tiger’s swing has been anything but consistent of late. Golf pundits and TV talking heads have criticized and critiqued the swing until the cows came home. Tiger’s swing coaches old and new are trading body blows in the press and on Twitter.
Let the jokes begin. I’ll go ahead and start it off…
Tiger Woods iPhone swing app features:
- The block right
- The smother hook

Hopefully I’ll be getting my hands on a promotional copy soon so I can post a review…
Just listened to the Arnold Palmer presser at Bay Hill. I say “listened” because for the life of me I can’t get these live video feeds on PGATOUR.com to work. They only play audio. I’ve upgraded my Flash player a million times, and even recited Shakespear backwards in Latin with a lampshade on my head, but still no video… A rant for another day (probably tomorrow).
Arnie answers questions about Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger, Mr. Woods, The Masters, Tiger Woods, TW, Bay Hill, Eldrick and of course Tiger Woods
You just have to love the press right? Well, no. 24/27ths of the questions they asked Arnie were about Tiger Woods. Arnie did his best to politically correctly (huh?) dance around the personal stuff to basically say that you can never count Tiger out of the tournament. Translation: Tiger is playing poorly, but may find it.
Wisely, Arnie didn’t bite on any of the Tiger swing change questions.
Bites from Arnie not about Tiger
Of course, Arnie had to get in a Sam Saunders comment or two. Saunders is his grandson who he is doing the best he can to help out with his pro golf career.
Arnie’s comments on the course, Bay Hill, were probably the most useful of the bunch. He mentioned that the greens would be very hard and fast. Putting will be tough. Hitting greens without the ball running off into collection areas or roll-offs will be difficult. Arnie also mentioned that they’ll be penalizing errant drives as well as equally rewarding good drives with the size of the fairways and the depth of the rough. Translation: Arnie doesn’t want it to be just a bomber’s festival.
I still contend that when she had the chance and we were both single, Annika should have dated me. 🙂
SURPRISE! I went into labor today & William Nicholas McGee was born at 6:33 PM. I’m well. Will is hanging in there fine for being 27 weeks. ~Annika Sorenstam
HOG congratulations to Annika Sorenstam and her husband on the birth of their 2nd child, William Nickolas McGee. Bravo!
The last session of back problems is still going. It has been over two weeks of pain now, the first 1.5 was brutal. Now if I sit for a while it takes me about five minutes to straighten my body and it aches quite a bit.
So I’m going to consult with a new back doctor this morning. This guy is supposed to be pretty good, so we’ll see what he has to say. Likely I will need to get an MRI ($$$) for them to do a complete diagnosis. I’ll have to sell a hell of a lot of golf ads here to cover that…
A report will follow later today.
I’m getting some emails from companies and individuals who are wondering when I’ll get around to reviewing the gear they sent in so I thought it would be good to make a statement about my current situation.
1. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah, home of the winter Olympics in 2002. This is not Florida. It isn’t 80 and sunny here yet. It is still winter. In fact, it is snowing right now. The courses are open on and off as the snow comes and melts. Playing conditions aren’t the greatest. For instance yesterday the courses were open, but we had winds strong enough to blow my BBQ over and it was about 35 degrees. With wind chill that makes the temperature -1,000,000 degrees. Not good for golf.
2. I separated my shoulder about 2.5 months ago and I’m still recovering. I’m hoping that if the sun comes out and the temps rise enough, that I may gingerly attempt a golf shot today for the first time in months. There is still some pain and lack of flexibility and it is driving me nuts not being able to swing a club.
3. I’ve moved recently, and as a result my bad back (scoliosis) really got bad. For the last two weeks I’ve been in muscle spasms and such pain that I can’t even take a gallon of milk off the shelf and put it into a grocery cart without yelping. The spasms have stopped, but I’m still stiff. I’m going to a new doctor TODAY to have another examination and discussion as to what to do with my back.
Hope
I hope that as spring comes and the temps rise, I’ll be getting fully back into the swing. I have quite a bit of gear to test, including 4-5 drivers, several sets of irons, hybrids, putters and about a million accessories. Oh, how about 5-6 pairs of golf shoes?
I’m going crazy not being able to do my gig, but hopefully soon all will be as it should be and I’ll be back on track.
