TravelGolf.com This Week's Buzz

Doug Carey This Week at TravelGolf.com: October 19, 2004

The hottest trend in Web publishing is blogging. Unlike many Internet fads, however, blogging figures to stick around for some time. Basically a Web journal, blogs offer writers the freedom they might not have in a traditional story. Needless to say, our writers were thrilled when they learned about the TravelGolf.com Daily Blog, which launched this week.

In his initial blog ("Sounding off on the talking heads"), associate editor Kiel Christianson submits a biting commentary on the current roster of golf broadcasters. Before mentioning a few of his favorites - David Feherty, Gary McCord, and Judy Rankin - Christianson rails against so-called experts such as Johnny Miller and Ken Venturi. "Every Sunday I thank the golf gods that Ken Venturi retired," he writes. Agree or disagree, we hope you enjoy our newest feature, and we invite you to visit TravelGolf.com's Blog Central on a regular basis.

Speaking of media, we're receiving plenty of mail in response to national golf editor Tim McDonald's recent "Inside Media" column on the poor state of travel writing. As always, your comments are welcome on any topic, including our usual lineup of course reviews and feature stories. Have a great week.

Chris O'DonnellO'Donnell's latest role easy
for this golf nut to handle

Anything golf is a natural role for 34-year-old Chris O'Donnell, who first broke into Hollywood at age 17 playing Jessica Lange's son in a movie. Long before he was named one of the most beautiful people in the world (1996), O'Donnell was playing golf with his family, playing golf with his buddies, playing golf whenever he could. This is a guy who once told his agent that the main prerequisite for his dream house was that it bordered a great golf course.

Lovett WedgeA little love for the Lovett Wedge

Perhaps you've seen the infomercial for the new Lovett Wedge and quickly turned the channel after seeing the odd shape of the clubhead. You may want to give it a second look. As Kiel Christianson reports, the Lovett Wedge clearly delivers for higher handicappers who fear bunkers and rough. The key is getting used to the big, heavy, rather ugly clubhead, and trusting it
to do its thing.
