The golf industry show is taking place as you read in Anaheim. Whether it's sexy or not, I have no idea. I used the term as a loss leader, to get you in my store. Here is what I know about the show, courtesy of the PR people at Robert Trent Jones II (… more »

I have a buddy who runs a major championships pool. Four times a year we pick ten guys (only three of the big four allowed) and try to get seven to the weekend. My chum aligns everyone in teams of three, and pays out team and individual each day. For… more »

I've been mortifying to write this blog entry, since I take a different cue from what happened to Phlabby Phil on Sunday. The way I see it, the playoff win was much more important for C3PO than was the playoff loss for PM. Here's my reasoning: CH3 has… more »

Another quickie for the cialis set...If you ever devalued the importance of wedges in golf, study up on Andy Bean's final round at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am on the Champs Tour. It might have been two consecutive holes where the behemoth had, respect… more »

Here's a quickie for all you Viagra fans...Watch Annika, Jeff or Bill to figure out how to swing a golf club. Each one of these three is so relaxed through the ball, the point at which we amateurs usually tense up and gag. Quinney had such great succes… more »

If the Enjoy Jakarta Astro Indonesia Open is not my favorite golf tournament name, please tell me what is! All right, I'll "Enjoy Jakarta," but please tell me what the name of the Jetson's Dog is doing in the title! No matter. Mikko Ilonen stole t… more »

Recently, the aged and daft Will Wolfrum insinuated that I rarely link to other pages, blogs, etc. I cannot deny nor confirm that allegation, so I will move on to the business at hand. Paula Creamer has returned to the winner's circle on the LPGA Tour.… more »

I've noticed something lately on the Sports Illustrated website. Michael Bamberger, Alan Shipnuck, John Garrity, and others have supplied the Golf section with multiple articles. The regularity of their postings is cause for alarm only in a cynical wor… more »

Al Shipnuck just cannot get off my radar, otherwise known as my s-list. Talk about dangling an unreachable carrot in front of a braying, drooling donkey! Here he is this week, writing about the Phoenix PGA Tour Stop's collision next year with the NFL's… more »

I am astonished at how many grumpy pusses I see while watching PGATour.Com's "Live At 7" feature on the web. I've watched for two days, and can testify that very few amateurs leave that green with a smile. Let's assess: you are playing in the best pro… more »

"4. The concept of "earning it" Michelle Wie was offered yet another special exemption, this time to the Dinah Shore. Wouldn't it be nice if one of these days Wie actually played her way into the field of an important tournament?" Al Shipnuck, earth… more »

I love video on the web. I love YouTube on the web. I love Windows Movie Maker. I love video on the web. That's my ode to video on the web. Even a hack like me can press the red record button, tape some life, upload it to a PC, and dice it into a… more »

Sometimes you can sense that a writer wants to use a certain storyline SOOOO much that she or he forces it in, with absolute disregard for propriety and the truth. Such is the case with Alan Shipnuck's apparent infatuation with Charley Hoffman's Tarzan… more »

As I am wont to do, I was browsing through my February 2007 Golf Magazine in January (I receive my mail earlier than you!) and paused at the section marked "What Tour pros think about..." I've found this to be an interesting little read in the past, and… more »
