Dang this is a great looking swing. This kid is definitely missed on the LPGA.

I love this SM7 Vokey wedge. I am attached to it already. When I look at it, I feel good. The sand wedge is always my number one club, in the sense that I use it the most during practice--full shots, pitch, and chipping. And it is delivering on the course too. Thank you to DougE and all the other fi...

Had one of my best rounds ever (but not quite top 3) today with a 72 on my new easier home course. Pretty solid in every facet today, 5 bogeys and 3 birds. Interesting had 3 EXTREMELY bad swings that caused 3 of the bogeys, the kinds that you were thrilled to just make bogey, but otherwise was spot...

Speaking of remodeling, I played a local round for the first time in such a long time yesterday. To my dismay I failed to break 90 on a course I know all too well. Attempting to do something very different with the swing, I made some of the worst shots imaginable. A four-putt on the third hole made ...

Overnight, the battle against humidity ended and the battle against dryness has begun. I went to play yesterday and my right index finger split open a tiny bit. :bawl (Temps were in the 40s and the course was still crowded btw.) The gusty winds have arrived for the season. At home, humidifiers are r...

Never played it but sounds to me like a wonderful way to bond with strangers.

I for one am bummed. I don't think he was all that spectacular at calling the shots, but I am accustomed to his presence. As a Tiger Tard I have strong associations with Johnny's voice and big moments in tournament golf. He was there for many of Tiger's exploits going way back to the US Am when Tige...

Real actual cool weather has arrived finally. Just as I been lamenting, we are moving straight from swamp-ass to winter-like chill. No fall this year I guess. We didn't have spring either. Bring it on. This winter I attempt to set a new benchmark for cold weather golfability.

I ordered a new television set yesterday, following a couple days of intense deliberation. It was only ever a question of LG or Samsung. I leaned towards Samsung mostly, same brand I been using for the past seven years. Then I went to Bestbuy and had a look at both screens, they both looked similarl...

If these new rules are so insignificant as you all seem to be arguing, then you should have no problem letting your next match opponent play by the new rules while you play by the old. Right? It's plain old logic you see. Transitive property and shit. Oh, so you would have a problem with this scenar...

"I didn't come up with this recommendation. The USGA did. I don't like it anymore than you Bob. But hey if you gotta a problem with it, take it up with them. Not me."

I am definitely going invoke the 40-second recommendation. Now I can be a dick and the USGA backs it up. "Um, excuse me Bob. I notice you've been taking way longer than 40 seconds to hit your shots. Here, I have the USGA rules book here in my bag, let's open it up and read what it has to say about t...

I am not opposed to change in and of itself. But these new changes will instantaneously make everyone a better golfer, and that's just silly. It's as if millennialism is beginning to infect all generations now. Don't even attempt to refute what I am saying. You are asleep, of course you cannot see w...

Dropping from knee height is bullshit! Takes so much of the randomness out of the result. The randomness was the point, motherfucker! I always appreciate the shoulder drop. It's like, you get to choose the general area for your drop, but you don't get to choose the lie. I liked that. Knee height is ...

North San Diego county is a magnificent place to live, maybe one of the best I have ever seen.

This is one big ass bucket. 260 count. Need two hands to lift a laundry basket worth of balls. Biggest I've ever seen at any range. I split this one with Ms Beef but I want my own next time. I can handle it.

Part of my own personal Facebook problem is that I never learned how to converse or to comment on that thing. I am always at a loss for words. I have little to no reaction to people's insignificant little life events perhaps. "That looks like fun!" "Amazing!" -- that's something a normal person migh...

The disappearance of a whole season is a more cataclysmic event than some hurricane I would argue. Try to think of the big picture for once. That is a metaphor by the way. There is no actual big picture. Tomorrow is forecast to be around 80 degrees, and then temps are supposed to cool. Here is a pre...

Fuck this shit. This is shaping up to be the worst fall season ever, for golf at least. It has been muggy every day. The forecast might read 60-something but it's deceptive, you could walk around nude and still work up a sweat. In the past I used to get a sort of spiritual boost, an inspiration, fro...

It is official. Korea reigns supreme in women's golf. End of discussion.

Weather is putting a damper on the whole thing from start to finish I think. Course and weather conditions contributed to some uninspired play all around. Commentators criticized the tournament for tucking the pins, making the course play unduly hard. They are probably right. The only real highlight...

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that none of the Golf Digest Top 100 Teachers in America would sign off on that practice. But who knows. There's probably some benefit to it. I think if you want to hit it long ultimately you have to get acquainted with a very fast moving clubhead.

Hello! ello ello lo lo lo

Anyone Here? Here ere ere ere

I am here and I am sitting in a puddle of sweat. Very steamy here today. I give up.
