Tiger Woods’ guest house burned down
A guest house on Tiger Woods’ Juniper Island property burned down due to lightning. No big deal because Tiger is going to demolish the whole thing and build a new house anyway. I’m sure the new Tiger Woods home will be a modest and inexpensive pad… Here’s the old one:

Fancy Tees
Designed by Lorenzo Bonfanti
Fancy Tees are designed by famous Italian designer Lorenzo Bonfanti. An entertaining design quote from the description on one of the tee packages (obviously a rough attempt at converting Italian to English): “What characterizers these tees is the innovative design, the bright matched colours, and the unusual graphic and chromatic effects.” Just what I need from my golf tees! OK then.
Two Piece Construction
Fancy Tees are a variation of the standard golf tee, made of two materials. The shaft of the tee is made of a rigid plastic, while the head of the tee is made of a soft rubber. The soft head gives the tee a “soft” feel.
Colors
Fancy Tees come in about 48 different color combinations between shaft and head. There are 32 combinations with colored shafts and 16 combinations with metallic gray shafts. Picking a tee to use on the first tee is an ADD person’s paradise.

On The Course
I liked using the fancy tees on the course but I didn’t find that my drives went any farther than with conventional wooden tees.
Tee Compact Case
Below is a video of the Fancy Tee case. This case reminds me of a makeup compact. I imagine this case would probably be a little more popular with the lady golfers. What I do like about the compact tee case is that your tees won’t poke you or poke holes in your pocket.
Golf & strippers
I have a confession to make. The cat is out of the bag (so to speak). The reason why I play in golf tournaments has been “uncovered.”
Seems like every year there’s a story of hookers…er, a strippers… uh, I mean “escorts” working a golf tournament or something similar. GolfBlogger points out another one here. The video shows topless or near naked women “lap dancing” on tournament participants right on the course while other people tee off right over them.
There’s an ongoing investigation to determine if any other “activity” occurred but I suspect something involving stiff shafts, balls, hazards and other golf related subjects probably did take place.
Tiger Woods reveals his workout
Who says golfers aren’t athletes? Well OK John Daly probably shouldn’t be considered one, but in an upcoming article in Men’s Fitness Magazine (August) Tiger covers his workout regimen.
The workouts are roughly three hours, six days a week and include “stretching up to 40 minutes before each session, core exercises, endurance runs of seven miles (11 kilometers) and speed runs of three miles (five kilometers), along with weight training.”
Tiger has gained nearly 30 pounds since he turned pro.

This post is part five of “Tee Week” here on Hooked On Golf Blog.
Lucky Tee makes all sorts of neat golf tees. Here’s a video I shot from the 2007 PGA Show where David Minor demonstrates two of Lucky Tee’s “retraction action” golf tees.
Below are a few images of other neat golf tees available from my friends at Lucky Tee:
