No big surprise here, but it is now official that Tiger Woods’ first tournament for 2011 is next week in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.

“I’m really looking forward to competing.  I’ve been working hard on my game, and I’m excited about 2011.” ~Tiger Woods

Tiger has won his last five starts at Torrey Pines, including the mega-exciting playoff victory over Rocco Mediate in the 2008 US Open.

Many people are contacting me and very anxious to find out about the 2011 fantasy golf season. The season will tee off on February 10th at the AT&T Pebble Beach PGA Tour stop. We should have a practice round set up the prior week.

We will be using the same fantasy provider as last year, Kerplookee. Sign up information will be posted soon.

SPONSORS NEEDED – GAIN VALUABLE PR AND EXPOSURE TO YOUR GOLF BRAND!

I’m currently in the process of searching for sponsors for the 2011 fantasy golf season. Sponsors will be highly exposed and receive many hits via referrals from our weekly fantasy updates as well as the static pages permanently posted, like this one.

Contact me to inquire about a sponsorship asap!

GREAT PRIZES

Over the past fantasy golf seasons we’ve had sponsors like Bridgestone Golf, OGIO, FootJoy, Bobby Jones, Nicklaus Golf, Frogger, Rife Putters, Tattoo Golf and many more. This year we plan on announcing some big name sponsors and great prizes shortly. We usually announce the sponsors after the PGA Merchandise Show, when we’ve finalized the details. Stay tuned.

Hard for me to watch celebrity pro-ams

Written by: Tony Korologos | Wednesday, January 19th, 2011
Categories: PGA Tour

The Bob Hope is starting today down in Palm Springs, but I probably won’t be tuning in. When I’m watching golf on TV, I want to watch good golf. I want to watch PGA Tour level play. Otherwise I could go down to the local municipal course and watch a bunch of hacks. I’m not a big fan of watching pro-am tournaments and all the “hit and giggle” of the “celebrities” in the field. I don’t watch a lot of TV so many of these sitcom stars are foreign to me.

Reasons I might tune in, though not likely

That being said, I almost made it a point to tune in because I saw that Eva Longoria was on the list of celebrities. I would watch her swing a golf club any time. Then I read it again and realized it wasn’t the brunette babe from Hot American Housewives (or whatever that show is called), but some baseball player named “Evan” Longoria. Boo hoo.

Two “celebrity” players not in the field which always seem to be in these tournaments are Kenny G and George Lopez. If those guys were in the field, I probably wouldn’t even go in the same room as my TV.


Pin High’s id labels for golf clubs

Thanks to my pals at Pin High for hooking me up with some cool golf club labels.  How many clubs have been lost which may have been returned if only the person’s name was on it?  Yes there are jerks who would keep the club or put it on ebay, but there are honorable people who do turn clubs in to the pro shop when they find them or attempt to find the owner.

Golf Club Id Labels

idlabels in action!

Construction

These aren’t wimpy labels.  These labels actually have six different layers in their construction.  The layers have specific traits which improve the durability, reflectiveness and adhesiveness.  Without the durability and adhesiveness the labels may wear out or fall off, resulting in lost clubs possibly not coming back home to your bag.

Colors

Pin High’s labels come in three colors, so matching them with shaft colors is easy.  The chrome and gold backgrounds have black text, and the black background has gold text.

Pin High's labels are available in three colors to match club shafts

Customized Online

Pin High’s labels can be customized and created right on the Pin High web site.  Each label can accommodate up to four text lines with a maximum of 20 characters per line.

Conclusion

Tracking down a lost golf club can be a real pain, especially if you are like me and golf a lot.  A club in the bag which doesn’t get used very often may have been lost several rounds ago and contacting all the courses is a hassle.

The cost for Pin High’s labels, $9.95 for 20, is a minor insurance policy which could pay huge dividends if you forget a club somewhere.
