On Flickr, awakenphotography took this picture of her family on the range.  I thought it was such a great shot, I had to post it.

What’s in the pros bag?

Posted by Dave

Another quickie..  Found this cool link while perusing the Golf Channel’s website.  If you were ever curious what clubs your favorite player hits, visit the link and select the player.  Here’s the link: What’s in the bag?

Been crazy busy this week, so not a whole lot of time to write but Congratz to Vijay on his 4th Barclay’s win.  That win scored him 11,000 FedExCup points putting him in the lead with 109,500.  I’ve always been partial to Vijay, his swing is ridiculous..  True story, I was at the range and tried to mimic his swing, hit the ground and my back hurt for a week..

Oh, here’s another comic from Penny Arcade.

Enjoy!

The Ultimate Rough Recovery Guide

Posted by Dave

One of my fellow golf bloggers from across the pond wrote a pretty good article on playing shots from the rough.

I think it’s a relatively new blog, I found out about him via digg.  I haven’t been reading for too long, but so far, he’s been writing some pretty good stuff.

Today’s my wedding anniversary!  Wish me luck! :)

Patriot Golf Day 2008

Posted by Dave

Patriot Golf Day started last year on September 1st, 2007. It is a fund raiser started by Major Dan Rooney, an F-16 fighter pilot and PGA professional. It was created to help support the families of fallen soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan. Last year, in only a 24 hour period, Patriot Golf Day raised 1.1 million dollars to help aid those families.

This year from August 29th, 2008 – September 1st, 2008, golf clubs from around the US are participating in the event. Some golf courses will add an extra dollar to their greens fees and others will ask players for donations.

In addition to the greens fee, Taylor Made is auctioning off a limited edition r7 Driver.

At least 29 courses from the Central Florida area are participating and you can find a complete list of them here.

Patriot Golf Day participants

We need to get more courses added though. We’ve got to show everyone that Central Florida Golfers appreciate the sacrifices that our fellow citizens have made. Contact your local course and tell them to sign up for this event. Here’s a link you can forward to them.

If your like me and you are unable to hit the links that weekend (sigh), you can still and you should donate! Click here to make a donation.

Please do whatever you can to help this cause!
