Tiger’s yacht privacy for sale? Let’s get 20 million people to chip in $1 each and buy it!
The Cost Of Privacy
The NYPost is reporting that Tiger Woods’ yacht “Privacy” is for sale with an asking price of $25 million. The article reports that TW paid $20 million for it and he’d be lucky in this economy if he got that back. Apparently Elin got the yacht in the divorce and gave it back to Tiger because she didn’t want to fork out the $2 million per year it would cost to maintain it. Wow. Them’s big numbers.
Shall We Take Up A Collection?
I’ll throw in the first buck. Let’s take up a collection and get 20 million people to pitch in and buy the thing! We can have a hell of a party, but it would hard to fit that many people on the thing at one time…
Solutude
Apparently Tiger is downgrading. His new boat is a diving ship he purchased for about $3.1 million. The name of that one is “Solutude.” I get it.
Leave Me Alone
At this rate, in 4-5 years Tiger will be buying a row boat for $323.04. That row boat will be named, “Leave Me Alone.”

Hang with me for a day and you’ll know that if the weather isn’t warm enough to wear flip flops, I wear Vans. I love the comfort of that type of shoe.
At last year’s Masters practice round I stood next to Fred Couples and noticed that he wasn’t wearing “golf shoes.” He was wearing some sort of tenny. His reasoning was that the shoes were softer and easier on his back. That struck a nerve, pun intended, with me.
Kikkor Golf
One of the biggest buzzes at this year’s PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando was about Kikkor Golf. Everyone was stopping by their cool booth to see their line and have a frosty beverage. I made my stop there as well, and interviewed Kikkor’s James Lepp.
In my talks with James I loved this quote from him:
“Golf is an athletic sport. Why am I wearing dress shoes?”
Kikkor Tenny Clayburn
My first (and not last) pair of Kikkor’s are the Tenny Clayburns. They look similar to my loved Vans or a pair of Converses.

The construction of the shoe is quite serious though. Despite not having removable spikes, the Kikkor Diacon Embedded Spike System (DESS) does a fine job. I surprisingly have great traction.

One of my favorite movies of all time is The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly with Clint Eastwood. That’s also the name of a fun casino chip golf game.
Good Bad Ugly Chips
Golf Game by GolfPokerChipGame.com - click image to visit their site
The game comes with 12 casino style chips, each with a golf scenario on it like birdie, par, sand, OB etc. Six of the 12 are “good” and six are “bad.” The good chips are green and the bad are black.
As an occurrence, like say a sandy par happens, that player gets the chip. At the end of the round the person with the most green chips wins. In my group we assign $1 to each chip.

Hope to see Nickent return
I was sad to see Nickent Golf go under a while ago. I still have a Nickent hybrid in my bag, though it is currently on probation for some bad shots last Tuesday. I have two other Nickent hybrids laying around somewhere and a Pipe Putter.
Wait a sec. I gave the 23 degree to my dad. So I have two. My dad is deadly with that 23 degree. It has really helped his game.
Dick’s Sporting Goods has bought the Nickent brand, I’m sure for pennies on the dollar. But it will be nice to hopefully see that R&D and intellectual property going to some good use.

I’ve been doing a lot of personal research for my review of the FootJoy Layering System, at locations on and off the golf course. I’ve used the individual garments of the system on their own, as well as combining any two of the three and all three together on and off the course.
Layering System Concept
“Dress in layers” is a quote you always hear as advice when trying to keep warm. The FJ Layering System is a complete set of garments which are used for every possible layer. The three primary layers are the base layer, mid layer and outer layer. I’ll describe each a bit below, as well as my experience with them.
