As predicted, Tiger killed the field, and made it clear that he OWNS Torrey Pines. I think the players on tour practically conceded the 2008 U.S. Open to him this year. Nick Faldo seems to think Tiger will complete a Grand Slam in one calendar year . . . . which would […]

Roger and Tiger’s Grand Slam Race for History
January 25th, 2008 · No Comments
Roger, Roger - loses in Australian Semis! His amazing streak of 10 straight Grand Slam Finals appearance has been broken by the up and comer Novak Djokovic! And he lost in straight sets too! Our expectations of Federer and Tiger have been so high, it sometimes seems outrageous, but the way they have performed in […]
2008 ECHL All-Star Game In Stockton
January 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Before I log off, I’d wanted to talk quickly about hockey in Sacramento. I’m a Sharks fan, but it’s a little far for me to drive out to San Jose for games unless it’s the weekends, so that’s a little depressing. But I just heard that The ECHL (East Coast Hockey League) had a the […]

I was happy to see K.J. Choi win the Sony Open in Hawaii, but here is where the excitement begins! First of all, Tiger is the defending champion. He’s actually won 5 out of the last 9 Buick Invitationals. His record at Torrey Pines is SICK!! To add on top wanting to win one of […]

January 20th, 2008 · 1 Comment
I went to the range on last Wednesday after hearing reading a tip from Retief Goosen. He said that for par 3’s you don’t really need to take a full backswing, which is one of my biggest problems. I tend to try to take big backswing and then lift my upper bodd *and* head up […]

My Golf Game on Google Charts
January 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment
So Google came up with the Google Charts API recently. This is kinda cool because I was looking for a analytics charting solution for a visual representation of data. I was thinking of using PHP/SWF Charts, but it seems that Google Charts is easier . . . although I have to […]
Caddy Daddy is a Must if You’re Walking the Course
January 12th, 2008 · No Comments
I know it’s really cold now, but the other day, I saw my Caddy Daddy six-pack cooler on top of my freezer and it reminded me of warmer days . . . sigh. The best thing about the cooler is that it’s soft, so it fits right in the side pocket of the bag. […]

How to Play the 10 Toughest Wedge Shots (Golf Magazine article)
January 5th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Recently, I read this really cool article in Golf magazine about how to place the 10 toughest wedge shots. Their summary of the article was “New research shows you can hit the ball up to 41 percent closer by making the right choice between your lob wedge and sand wedge”
This is pretty compelling since […]
