Padraig Harrington PGA Tour Player Of The Year
This one was a no-brainer. Padraig Harrington is the 2008 PGA Tour Player Of The Year.
What a stud. That British Open win was awesome.
Random stuff you find on the course, episode 2
Back on February 14th 2006 I played a great match with my pal Luke Swilor. During that round we spotted an odd thing on the fairway, a porno dvd case. That was birth, and episode #1 of “Random stuff you find on the course.”
This past week I’ve stumbled across two items which have been submitted to the HOG Random stuff you find on the course archive. And, I’ve now created a sub gallery in the HOG Random photo gallery, Random Stuff You Find On The Course. Feel free to send me in images of odd things you find on your course.
Item one: The giant cookie
I feel sorry for the poor chap who bought this $3.00 cookie the size of a 10″ plate. He took two bites out of it and left it on the 7th tee. I’m sorry because:
A) He forgot the cookie and missed out on all the joy of eating it while walking down the 7th fairway.
B) The cookie sucked so bad he left it there.
Item two: Soiled underwear
Kudos to my friend Dan, who spotted this pair of soiled undies in the rough, right of #16 fairway last week.
What is the story behind these undies? What event occurred which caused someone to discard these undies? Was a guy golfing and had to discard them following an accident? Was a couple messing around on the green and had to take off when discovered?
Hooked On Golf Blog enters 5th year of golf blogging!
Man I’ve been so busy lately I forgot to mention something which happened eight days ago. December 5th was Hooked On Golf Blog‘s fourth blogday (birthday for bloggers). My first post on December 5th, 2004 wasn’t terribly bad.
Much has happened for me since starting this blog. I’ve met hundreds of cool people in the golf industry, played some incredible golf courses, and I’ve had the pleasure of testing out all the latest and greatest in golf products.

Thankful
I’m thankful and happy to have a great outlet like this and I fully intend to keep this baby going for a long time. It is just too much fun to stop.
My 2008 golf season may finally be over
I was happy to get in 16 holes yesterday before I ran out of daylight. I even hit my irons solid, which I haven’t been doing lately. Perhaps I hit them solid because I had to. If you thinned an iron in that super cold temp, your hand would go numb for the next 15 minutes.
I guess that was likely the last round of 2008 in my neighborhood because I woke up to find a big snow storm dumping.

Sometimes in order to do my product reviews I have to hope for bad conditions. In the case of this review, I had to hope for high winds and rain. My home course is a wind haven, so no problem there.
GustBuster umbrella
I have no less than 10 golf umbrellas from various manufacturers, but now they’ve all been banished to the depths of my garage. My new GustBuster Pro Series Gold 62-Inch Golf Umbrella has earned a starting position in my golf bag.
