Back spasms stop after 5.5 days
I’m pleased to announce my back spasms have finally stopped. The muscles finally gave up after just wearing themselves out. I’m no longer bent at a 45 degree angle to the right. I no longer feel like someone is jabbing an electrified ice pick into my lower spine.
I’m happy but sore. I should be able to hit the course in the next day or two. I can once again appreciate the small things in life like putting socks on, walking, pushing on the gas pedal in the car…
Frogger BrushPro Groove Cleaner Review

Want to get that super spin that Phil Mickelson gets on his wedges? Want to be able to stop a 6-iron on the green like Tiger Woods, rather than having the ball release and go off the back? If you do, you’d better be sure your grooves are clean.
Frogger Brushpro Golf Club Groove Cleaner
I’ve gone through no less than 10 wimpy groove brushes. Some of those brushes have weak mounts and break off my bag, never to be found. On some the metal brushes bend, making the brush a disposable item since they’re not replaceable.
The Frogger Brushpro is the Hummer of club brushes. Every part of the Brushpro is industrial strength, even the handle. I’ve had a Brushpro on my bag for about 4-5 months now and I’m one happy groovin’ golfer.
Spring loaded nylon cable
The first great thing about the Frogger Brushpro is the retractable nylon cable. Many brushes don’t even have a retractable cable so you’re tethered to the side of your bag or you have to take it off. With the Brushpro’s cable I can casually stand and clean my grooves without having to bend over and hold my club under other items on my bag (like towels or straps). I’ve had other brands of brushes which do have a cable, but those wimpy cables broke after only a couple of uses.
Day 5 of back problems
The back is still tweaked. Waiting for the spasms to stop. Pain.
Tiger Woods has eye surgery again
Tiger Woods just had some Lasik surgery done. He felt his vision slipping. He also had Lasik surgery back in 1999.
Tiger’s driving issues explained?
I wonder if he had an astigmatism which was causing him to think the fairway was 30 yards right of where it really was? 🙂
2007 Players Championship Takes
Some takes on the TPC:
Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods was a non factor at the TPC despite shooting a great round Sunday to bring himself back to even par. He seemed pretty stumped by the greens at the TPC until Sunday when it was too late. Tiger hasn’t had his “A” game for quite some time. I’m wondering where it is. Like the saying goes: “I’d like to play my A game just once.”
Tiger wearing sunglasses on the back of his hat
Did Tiger go to the Rocco Mediate school of sunglasses etiquette? I’m no expert but I personally think it’s worse to be constantly putting them on and taking them off, freaking your eyes out with the changes of brightness. Maybe Tiger needs some Peak Vision, Tifosi Optics or Callaway Eyewear golf sunglasses instead of the Nike ones.
Despite the lack of Tiger the TV ratings were apparently very good. This is a good thing.
Phil Mickelson
A couple of weeks with new coach Butch Harmon and all the sudden Phil Mickelson can hit a fairway under pressure? Wow is Butch that good? Phil’s driver swing (and many other full swings) no longer is going insanely past parallel. The result is more accuracy and really not any notable distance loss.
Phil’s Brain
Phil’s talent has never been in doubt and now with some tweaking by Butch it appears he may get even better. But his brain is still the main problem he has and will no doubt cost him some victories. Despite winning Phil made some mental errors at the TPC. He just happened to get away with them this time.
Sean O’Hair train wreck costs him $747,000
Man you gotta feel for Sean O’Hair. This was the biggest stage, biggest opportunity of his young golf career. He was getting more and more nervous and spastic as the round on Sunday progressed. And he got slllloooowwer as the round progressed as well. That became fairly annoying to me and apparently Johnny Miller who pointed it out.
I hope O’Hair can overcome the train wreck he had on #17 where he cost himself $747,000 in prize money by going from 2nd place to 11th. Let’s see, he got a 7 on #17 so each stroke on that hole cost him over $100,000. Ha, $100,000 a stroke and I get nervous trying to make a 2 footer to win $2 from my golf pals…
Sergio Garcia
This was as good of a tournament as Sergio Garcia has played in a long time. He even showed that he can actually make a putt or two on Sunday, something he hasn’t shown since I can remember. Was this a case of a blind squirrel finding a nut or is Sergio close to winning some tournaments? Personally I think he’s a head case who may win a few tournaments but won’t win any majors.
Circling the drain?
Ernie Els tied for 37th. I still don’t think Ernie or Retief Goosen are living up to their “big 5” status….
I’m beginning to think we’re seeing the last of Justin Leonard and I’m pretty sure Craig Perks will be long forgotten. At least for Perks they’ll show his Sunday chip-ins a zillion more times once a year when The Players is on TV.
