Can’t wait for the Pebble Beach Pro-Am to end
Can’t wait until Pebble is over so I can go back to watching golf. I’m so afraid Kenny G will break out his kazoo or George Lopez will break out the billionth non-funny joke after he shanks one into someone’s back yard.
Give me the PGA Tour players and ONLY PGA Tour players please. It totally sucks to have such a beautiful course as a background for such awful golf. It is like knowing that Cindy Crawford married Fat Bastard or something. It just isn’t right.
Does anyone on this planet enjoy watching these hacks?
I’m still waiting to hear from ANYONE who enjoys watching these hacks like Chris Berman duff the ball 10 feet. Where are you? I’d like to do an interview…
Watching Ben Crenshaw putt never gets old
In the control center here at HOG World Headquarters I’m now watching the Champions Tour for the first time this year. The Alianz Championship came on right after the Dubai Desert Classic. The first shot I watched was Ben Crenshaw (recently singed as a Cleveland Golf tour player) making a pure stroke and drain a seven foot birdie putt.
Watching Ben putt never gets old.
Speaking of the Champions Tour
So during the time I was posting this blog, I just watched Olin Brown make an ace on the par-3 8th hole from 176 yards. These guys are good! I may have to watch more!

The 2nd round in the Dubai Desert Classic is completed, even though it is being aired right now on Golf Channel. Tiger Woods improved his position considerably by shooting a 66 today with six birdies and no bogeys. TW has moved up to a tie for 5th, and has basically won the battle of the big three by shooting a lower score over the first two days than his pairing partners Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer. Westwood’s tweets are silent right now.
Rory McIlroy is still on top after shooting 68 on day two. He sits at -11.
2nd place has two players at -10, South African Thomas Aiken and surprisingly Sergio Garcia. Has Sergio gotten it together now?
Tiger Headlines – The Tiger pun-cheese begins
Here are a few sample Tiger Woods headlines for today…
“Tiger Woods goes from a limp to a swagger with a second-round 66 in Dubai”
“Tiger Woods claws back in Dubai.”
“Tiger Woods fires 66 to roar into Dubai contention.”
“Tiger Woods finds desert form as Rory McIlroy revels in lead.”
“Tiger roars into contention with 66.”
“Tiger hungry for success.”
…Stop me any time.
If you’re going to use social networking for your business, don’t be a bonehead.
Every company thinks they need to use social networking to promote their brand. OK that is fine. But if you are going to start a social networking campaign for your company, make sure you have someone do it who knows what they are doing. Otherwise you may lose more fans than you gain. Here’s a good example below.
EA Sports is trying to promote their new Tiger Woods PGA game which features Augusta National Golf Club. Great. But they make a Tweet asking people to click “like” if they’ve pre-ordered the game. The only problem is that there isn’t a like button on Twitter. They’re confusing Twitter with Facebook. DOH.
Active Wraps – A company with supernatural powers? ESP?

There are some events which are entertaining coincidences. There are some coincidences which are so freaky, you can hardly believe there isn’t some other sort of supernatural force at work. The latter happened yesterday.
Active Wrap elbow wrap was waiting on my doorstep the day I injured my elbow!?! Woa.
As many of you who read this golf blog know, I separated my shoulder almost three weeks ago. I’ve been recovering and the pain level is bearable. I’ve got 75% of the function back in my right arm now. I’m confident enough to go out and about without my sling now.
So I’m at a store yesterday and I need to put something in the middle passenger seat of my van. And as was pointed out on my Facebook page, yes I no longer have a sports car. That was two wives and three kids ago… But I digress.
I’m loading some stuff into my van with my right arm. I didn’t realize that I failed to open the door far enough for it to catch and stay open. So the van door slid closed and hit my right elbow so hard, it brought me to the ground in pain. Yes, of course it was the elbow of the arm with the separated shoulder. There’s a part of your elbow which has no meat around it. Just a few layers of skin and then bone underneath. That’s where it hit. Kill me now.
The wrap and two thermal pads
I get home, and as is normal there are some boxes on my doorstep; the normal stuff, some golf clubs and a bunch of golf accessories companies send in for me to review. Lo and behold, one box is from Active Wraps. What was inside took me aback. Inside that box was an elbow compression wrap, complete with two thermal pads which could be frozen or heated depending on the treatment needed. Within 20 minutes of incurring an elbow injury, I had an elbow wrap on my doorstep.
Supernatural or simply a coincidence? You be the judge.
I’m currently using the elbow wrap for my bum elbow. It is helping to reduce the swelling and elbow pain, as I’ve frozen the thermal packs and am using them like ice packs.
As a golfer, I’ve suffered from some pretty bad cases of tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow. There is a difference between the two and if you are really unlucky, you’ll have both like I did. The Active Wrap elbow system will surely help if and when those golf elbow injuries flare up.
