“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. ” -Benjamin Franklin

Michelle Wie must be insane.

Having still not won on the LPGA Tour, and not even having won a game if tic tac toe either, Michelle Wie still wants to play against the men.

“You know, like I always say, dream high and stuff, set your goals up high, and I think it’s definitely—I’m not saying it’s an easy goal to achieve. I’m not going to be like, ‘Oh, I’m going to go out and win a men’s event.’ It’s not like that, but it’s one of those long-term goals where I see myself getting to. I see myself getting there, and it’s one of those goals that really motivates me and pushes me to be a stronger player, a better player.”

Like I like think like I like may like bring like back like my ban on Wie like mentions like until like she like wins like on the like LPGA like Tour, and stuff.


My Sack is light brown, soft, and has two balls in it

golf ball holderYesterday I met with my new friend Doug from “MySack.”  MySack is a golf ball/tee bag you can hang from your golf bag.  The bag looks like, well, a guy’s ball sack.

Not only does MySack look like a ball sack… it comes with two balls in it!  Bonus! Ya gotta hand it to Doug for having the balls to “sack up” and try to make a golf product like this fly. I wish him luck.

The MySack could be a good ice breaker for that nervous first golf date you are on.  I could definitely see this unit as a good giveaway or tee prize for corporate tournaments, embroidered with a Hooters logoo etc…

I just installed my MySack yesterday.  I’ll be evaluating MySack, and putting MySack to the test for a review soon.

Back from the desert of southern Utah

I’m still recovering from my incredible journey which caused me to miss the entire TPC tournament last week.  I have the tourney DVR’d so I’ll watch it if I get bored.

Can you see me?  I should tee up a driver from this spot at Canyonlands with a 2000 foot drop.  That would be one sure way of increasing my driving distance.

Last week I camped with my pop and my two youngest in southern Utah.  The first night we were at a remote and desolate site between Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park.  We visited Dead Horse and Canyonlands in the first 24 hours.  The picture above is of me (can you see me?) standing atop a ledge at Canyonlands.  There’s a 2000 foot drop below.

The rest of the trip we camped in Arches National Park, my favorite place on this planet.  We hiked all over and saw the incredible land formations and some of the 2000 documented arches in the park.  Arches has the highest concentration of natural bridges in the world and to be “documented” the arches must be three feet wide or bigger.   I’ve reviewed Arches before and you can read that post here.

Below I’m standing in the single most breathtaking place I’ve ever visited, Delicate Arch.  This is the arch you see on Utah’s license plates.

I’ve visited this incredible spot dozens of times.  Every time I turn that last corner of the 1.5 mile hike straight uphill in the hot desert heat and see the arch, I’m speechless and breathless.  I completely forget how tired I was and I’m filled with energy and humbled by the beauty of this place.

I only posted two images in here, but I shot 792 photos last week.  That was clearly not enough so I’m going back in two weeks…


Golf Course Review: TPC Sawgrass

17th hole TPC Sawgrass

TPC Sawgrass island green – click for more images

I’ve been saving this one, my review of TPC Sawgrass, until the right time.  Obviously the week of THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP is a great time to post it.  This piece could shape up to be the longest one I’ve ever written and for good reason.  There’s a lot to tell.

I was at the PGA Show Friday doing my thing, interviewing people and checking out all the gear.  I was talking to Fuzzy Zoeller when my phone rang.  Obviously when you are talking to Fuzzy Zoeller, whoever is calling can go to voicemail.  When I checked the message it was my buddy Eddie from Black Mesa in New Mexico.  His message, “Hey Tony we’re here at the show.  Come over and visit us at the food court.  We’re playing TPC Sawgrass tomorrow and we have an open spot.  Did you bring your clubs?”

I had goose bumps.  One second I was planning on a busy Saturday at the show, complete with interviews of Ian Poulter and Erica Blasberg.  The next second I knew I was going to be blowing off Ian and Erica and playing one of those “must play” courses of a lifetime.
