Hooked On Golf Blog Celebrates 6th Blogday
I’m two days late on this announcement because I didn’t have an internet connection, but I’m happy to announce that Hooked On Golf Blog has just had its 6th birthday blogday.
One of the original golf blogs, I founded HOG on 12/4/2004 at the suggestion of my best friend Alan. Al was a pioneer in blogging, and told me that blogs would be the next big thing on the internet (pre “social networking” era). When I asked him what I should blog about he said, “blog about something you love.” Naturally golf came to mind, after ruling out wine, cheese, cigars, heavy metal, jazz and strippers.
Thankful
As a result of working this blog I’ve met some of the coolest people in the golf world, traveled to some of the most incredible places and had a first hand look at gear. I’ve even had input into the development processes of major golf company’s products by giving them feedback with test gear, apparel and golf balls.
For all of the great people I’ve met, great golf courses and golf travel destinations I’ve visited and great golf companies I’ve dealt with, I’m thankful. I’m especially grateful for my visitors who, for some reason, keep coming here. Thank you.
Going into year seven I’m anxiously looking forward. I can’t wait to see what the 2011 golf season has in store, who I’ll meet and what cool stuff I’ll be exposed to. I’ll be blogging about it all right here so stay tuned.
Back from Los Cabos
Unfortunately my internet connection in Los Cabos was very bad, so I wasn’t able to do any updates while I was gone. But I’m back and new posts will be hitting tomorrow.
I got a bit sick down there and I’m still feeling the effects. I think it is possible that a cactus which poked me made me ill. I’m going to be doing some researching about that.
It was quite a shocker coming home. We left sunny skies and 85 degrees in Los Cabos, to come home to 31 degrees, nearly zero visibility due to fog, and air quality warnings saying not to go outside.

Today is another case of “being a golf blogger doesn’t suck.”
The high temperature at home today will be somewhere around 16F. But I won’t be looking out the window at the two feet of snow on the ground, wishing I could golf. I’ll be looking out the window of a US Airways jet as I make my way to Los Cabos, Mexico. I’ll be there for four days doing golf travel reviews on some resorts as well as evaluating two area golf courses.
The Courses
Golf course #1 which I will be evaluating tomorrow will be Palmilla Golf Course, a Jack Nicklaus design. Golf course #2 is Club Campestre San Jose Golf Course, a Nicklaus design as well.
I’ve played many Nicklaus designs, so I’m fairly sure I’ll be needing to work on my fade and my sand game when I hit the range tomorrow morning.

Salt Lake City, UT. (December 1, 2010) – Hooked On Golf Blog, the #1 blog in golf, reached the 3000 golf blog post milestone on November 30, 2010 with an article about a golf babe.
