Sony Open Round One Status
Play delayed due to rain in Sony Open
Weather is going to be a big factor on play at the Sony Open. Meaning “whether” they play at all on any given day. Yesterday’s pro-am was canceled due to rain and all of the courses in the area were closed. I’ll update the status of the opening round as information becomes available.
UPDATE (30 seconds later!): I told you I’d give you an update as soon as it became available. Tee times have been delayed by ONE hour at this point, 11:31ET.
Ricky Barnes Withdraws
Ricky Barnes joins Dustin Johnson in the group of players who have withdrawn from the Sony Open due to a back injury. I don’t like hearing that, being a sufferer of back issues myself.

Click to contact me
I will be at the PGA Merchandise Show this year once again. Send me a note via email (if you know my email), or use the site contact page to send me a message and I’ll try to arrange a visit with you at the show.
I’m going to be doing things a little different this year. In analyzing the way the shows have gone for me in the past I’ve decided to try some new things.
No Paper
Every year at the show I bring back about 100 pounds worth of catalogs, photos, booklets and all sorts of printed promotional materials. Honestly, when I do my research for articles, I never use those “paper” materials. I always go online and look for the information digitally. Those papers sit in my office for about six months, then I recycle them.
This year I’ll be only accepting business cards and small digital files on flash drives or CD/DVD. I will get my info all via the web.
Thursday & Friday Only
The last few years, Saturday at the show is quite a bust. So many people are hung over and tired from the show that not a lot of work gets done that day. In fact, surprisingly after all the expense and preparation that goes into the show, many people start packing their booths up half way through the day.
Because of those reasons, I’ve decided to cut my trip a day shorter and come home Saturday night instead of Sunday night. I will not be at the show Saturday. I plan on kicking ass Thursday and Friday, and kicking the asses of my fellow bloggers on some Orlando golf course Saturday.
No Set Appointment Times
I’ve gone through a lot of hard work in shows past to schedule appointments. I’d bet that 50% of those appointments never happened. Due to my going over on time with appointments, or showing up to appointments with people at their booths only to find that they are busy, I’ve decided to NOT book a set schedule. I plan on walking the whole floor and getting to everyone on my list, but not via set times. If we have a really important meeting, like if Greg Norman wants to talk to me, then I’ll set up an appointment for that.
Ben Crenshaw records 59

Ben Crenshaw - perhaps the best putter ever...
Who doesn’t love Ben Crenshaw? I taught him everything he knows about putting…
Today is Ben’s 59th birthday!
At this year’s Masters Tuesday practice round, we watched Ben on the practice green. All of the young studs were asking for putting tips and advise from him. That’s what I’d be doing too. We then followed Ben down #1. I shot the photo on the right on #1 tee.
I hope I was close enough to absorb some Ben putting karma.
Feherty Joins Golf Channel
David Feherty joins Golf Channel broadcast crew
Some golf announcers suck, some don’t. Some make the broadcast so much more enjoyable with their insights and humor that I look forward to the times when they are on. David Feherty (pictured) is one of those broadcasters.
I forgot to mention this yesterday, but I’m glad David Feherty will be joining Golf Channel’s broadcast crew. A new Feherty show on Golf Channel is also in the works.
