HOG moves to new server
As of 4:00PM MT, Hooked On Golf Blog is officially housed on a new, more powerful dedicated server. Thanks to some great sponsor ad placements here, I’ve secured the new server for the next YEAR. Yes, a whole year of hosting on a powerful server is covered!
About the new server
The old server was a single core processor machine with 3GB of ram, and a good, but not blazing fast throughput. The new server has a quad core with more than four times the processing power. In addition, there’s an additional gig of ram, higher throughput for faster delivery of files, and 64 bit processing versus 32 bit.
In other words, the new server should kick some serious butt!
If you have any issues or problems, chime in at the TGS Forum here and let me know what is up so I can check it out.

I just got back from a great and fun tournament for Homes For Our Troops. My buddy Bryant Jacobs did an awesome job putting it together and raising money for wounded veterans.
I met and played in the tournament with two vets, one is Travis (right below) and the other was a vet from Vietnam.

Travis was blown up in Afghanistan and lost a leg and function of many parts of his body. He’s had 84, YES 84 surgeries and was in the hospital for 2.5 years. He could be down with all of that, but he wasn’t. He was very positive and energetic and quite fun to be around.
Tip o’ the hat to Travis, Bryant and Homes For Our Troops. The tournament was great and judging from the big crowd I’d say it was a great success.

Moving to new server
Today I hope to initiate the switch to a new and more powerful dedicated server here. During this period, the web site may or may not work for a while.
Thanks for your patience. See you on the other side…

Golf ball for 1st date
That last post about Camilo joining TaylorMade caused me to stumble upon a funny golf ball I found in the bushes a couple of days ago. Yes I don’t need to hear it. With the state of my game this year, I spend a lot of time in the bushes.
Many say golf is a fun first date. If that is the case perhaps this would be the best ball to use on that first date.
