I’ll admit I watched the Charlie Sheen broadcast, which sucked.

I got sucked into some of the humorous tweets and the #tigerblood comedy on twitter by Charlie Sheen.  I admit it.  Knowing a local guy who was funny and intelligent who got totally sucked into the world of drugs made me relate to it a bit.

Then I found out Sheen would be doing a live broadcast tonight on some web streaming site.  SO what the hell.  I tuned in.  The viewers started out at about 80K and bumped up to about 125K.  I tried to watch it for as long as I could but it was so boring I couldn’t watch anymore.  Sheen was there with three sidekicks who were trained to laugh when he laughed and say “winning” when he said winning.  They’re like little Sheen minions, or “Shinions.”  By the time I decided to bail, the viewers had dropped to 85K.  So there was a spike of curious people like me who came, saw, got bored and left.  As my buddy John said, “Sheen is losing viewers faster than he loses his kids.”

Charlie Sheen live webcast fail

Charlie Sheen's debut webcast sucked. #winning ? No. #fail ? Yes.

I’d hoped to see Sheen snort five feet of cocaine, or sacrifice a virgin, or do some sort of nutty circus act.  Instead the whole thing was an epic fail.  It was the sort of thing you could only be entertained by if you were stoned.  #fail #tigerblood #notfunny

The highlight of the broadcast happened just before I left, when Sheen said “We’re out of material.”  Yup.


Honda Classic – Making the cut

The conditions at the Honda classic have been brutal.  There was a steady 25-30mph wind on Thursday and winds Friday were gusting up to 25.  Watching the best players in the world hit shots into lakes can at least make some of us hacks feel a little better.  Some players really blow up in the wind, so to speak, while others shine.  Who shined and who blew up?

Shined

Rookie Kyle Stanley leads at -6 with rounds of 68-66.  Having never been in this position before how will Kyle’s nerves hold up on the weekend?

Rory Sabbatini shot an unbelievable 64 in high winds yesterday, a whopping 8 strokes ahead of the field average.  He’s in 2nd place at -5.  Players almost never follow up a super low round with another one, so lets see what he does today.

Y.E. Yang is continuing his consistently good year, T8.  Ricky Barnes had some very cool pants yesterday which must have helped, 68 to reach T4.

A total of 12 players out of the field are under par, including world #2 Lee Westwood.  Lee can regain the #1 ranking with a win this week.

How to identify the new Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x balls

Every time Titleist changes to a new model of Pro V1 and Pro V1x they alter the ball slightly where the text on the ball says “Pro V1” or “Pro V1x.”  The text and aiming arrows, or what Titleist fancily calls A.I.M. for “Alignment Integrated Marking” for each model, vary slightly.

When you’re fishing balls out of the lake or the bushes, these photos of the Alignment Integrated Marking will tell you if you found one of the cool new Pro V1’s for 2011.

Pukka HeadwearI’m working in conjunction with my good pals at Pukka Headwear to make the first edition Hooked On Golf Blog / The Golf Space golf hats!  These will be great for giveaways, contests, fantasy golf etc.

I’ve just gone through the design and ordering process with my friends at Pukka, working on the customization of the hats and embroidery options.  It was a great experience.  Below is the final draft of the hats.

For those of you who are buyers for golf courses or corporations who want your branding on golf hats, I strongly recommend Pukka for your needs.  Of course I haven’t seen the final product yet, but having seen Pukka’s previous work at my local courses and at the PGA Show, I’m sure I won’t be disappointed.
