Ben Crane’s stock is rising in my book.  I’m a fan now.  I really like Ben’s sense of humor.

Ben has taken a lot of flack for being a low player on the PGA Tour and he’s released a new video to address it.  Enjoy.


PGA Tour wives reality show – zzzzzzzzzzz

PGA Tour Wives

Tour wives - click to enlarge

Don’t we have enough reality shows already?

I’ll admit that when I heard of the reality show idea featuring wives of PGA Tour players, I had to close my mouth hard to prevent the barf from exiting.  What is even more fun, is having to swallow it again.

I’ve meant to post about this dumb idea, but after reading my buddy Jeff Palopoli’s blog Good Walk Spoiled and his opinion piece on the subject, I’d just say “here here” and tell you to go read that.

All due respect to these fine women, I think they’re missing the boat if they want any TV traction at all by leaving out the one wife who could draw men to watch the program.  She would be the new wife of Hunter Mahan, a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.

Intrusive ad intrudes more than it should

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:

intrusive ad

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.


HOG attacked – We will survive

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.
