I have been playing a Callaway FT-5 driver lately and am happy with the performance to date. That being said, I am always looking for new clubs, much to the chagrin of my wife and my pocketbook.

I am currently saving my pennies for a new beauty that has REALLY caught my eye. Read more…

Ernie Els??

March 19th, 2010

“The Big 3″. That was all the talk 6 or so years ago. There was Tiger then the other 3. Some conversations increased the number to 4, but the “Big 3″ was a guarantee. They were the ONLY competition for Tiger according to most of the golf world.

Seeing how Ernie Els just dominated the Blue Monster, I figured we would take a look at the “Big 3″ and maybe even might add the other. Read more…

Back From Bandon Dunes (day 3)

March 15th, 2010

Day 3 found us on Bandon Dunes again. We teed it at 8:30 in a drenching rain. It was as if we were standing under a shower. Living in Seattle I am used to rain, but I am used to playing in rain while under an umbrella for a good portion of time.

Bandon Dunes, that is not the case. Read more…

If Golf Isn’t Doing It For You……

February 22nd, 2010

The Olympics are starting to really heat up.

While I am not a big Olympics guy, I find myself drawn to watch this year. Could it be that they are being held just 4 hours North, or could it be the compelling story of the Canadian hockey team trying to win on home ice for the first time in Lord knows how long?

I am not sure, but here is what I am watching……. Read more…

Tiger Stuns the World

February 19th, 2010

Okay, okay, so the choice of headline might not be the reality that I want it to be, but it sounded good. Right?

The best player to ever hold a golf club broke his silence today and the whole world was watching or listening. I heard it and rather than dissect his every word or intonation looking for meaning as to when he will return, I am going to take this in a different direction.
