I don’t like popup ads, or ads which take over the page and push the content down, requiring you to “close” them to see the content of the page. The PGA Tour web site has many of these, and they can be quite a pain. On one of my recent visits to the home page the ad was even worse. It messed up the whole format of the page:
I might actually frequent sites more if they didn’t have these intrusive ads. When I know they do, I avoid going there unless I absolutely have to.
I feel the design pain on this, having designed my own pages and gotten them looking good only to find they don’t work in IE or some odd browser/host setup.
The datacenter which houses the Hooked On Golf Blog / The Golf Space dedicated server has been under a major DD0S attack today. All the sites on my server have been resorted and will hopefully be working from this point on.
My apologies for the inconvenience and lack of golf reading and golf social networking.
New digs...
There’s a lot of buzz about Tiger Woods’ new practice facility in his back yard. 3.5 acres, special grasses, bunkers, greens, bla bla bla.
Not to be outdone, I must announce that HOG World Headquarters is also in the midst of an upgrade in facility. Pictured are the new digs for Mr. and Mrs. HOG, as well as HOG’s secret lab (HOG Lab), the HOG offices, and HOG Central. Pics of HOG Lab will be coming in a week or two. Its where all the magic happens.
With that announcement, please note that my old address and phone will no longer be valid in a couple of weeks. Email me or, the new contact info is here if you’re shipping stuff.
It was an entertaining weekend of golf, though I’d say that this week was probably the least exciting of this short PGA Tour year so far. The winds kicked the asses of the pros, making us hacks feel a little better about dumping shots into water hazards. Not sure I can remember seeing more balls go in the drink during a PGA Tour event than this weekend, except perhaps some windy rounds at the TPC Sawgrass.
Sabbatini wins Honda
Rory Sabbatini surprised me by following up a mega low 64 in 30mph winds with a 66 the next day. Those mega low rounds and hot putting with his custom TaylorMade Ghost Putter, gave him enough of a margin to shoot an even par 70 and end up winning by one shot on Sunday.
As each week passes by I become a bigger and bigger fan of Y.E. Yang. I thought perhaps we’d never see Yang again, after he beat Tiger in the PGA a couple of years ago. But he is having a great year, and this week’s solo 2nd just adds to it. He will be a big factor in the majors in 2011. Mark it down.
