    I went to Newport Beach Country Club on Saturday afternoon at 2:30pm to see the Champions Tour, hosted by Toshiba.  I’ve seen these senior guys on TV before, and I’ve known their names.  Seeing them in real life was a different experien...

    We went to Islands last Wednesday.  It was a warm sunny day when we talked about: The golf game at Dad Miller Golf Course.  It was my annual outing for my friend’s birthday.  We seldom play, so our progress is stagnant. Possibly going golf ...

  • One Golf Club Will Rule Them All?

    Posted on Monday October 27th, 2008 at 17:02 in Golf, equipment, weight, childhood, telescopic

    My Dad gave me a golf putter with an adjustable shaft when I was 8 years old.  As I was growing taller, the adjustable height was a good and economical idea.  So now, I read about the existence of telescopic and loft adjustable golf club for irons ...

  • The US Has finally Won The Ryder Cup

    Posted on Tuesday September 23rd, 2008 at 00:34 in Golf, europe, usa, players, captain

    That was as interesting Ryder Cup.  The US came in as the “underdog”, without Tiger Woods, using a new Captain’s selection process, and played by more rookies than veterans.  So how did they end up winning it?  Maybe it’s a...

  • Is Golf a Sport?

  • US Open 2008 - Lessons Learned

    Posted on Tuesday June 17th, 2008 at 05:04 in Golf

    I’m a sucker to golf drama. I like watching them. Why? Two words: Tiger Woods. This guy really knows how to make golf, an otherwise boring sport, into something of a phenomenon. He tackled the US Open 2008 with a bummed ankle, for goodness sake...

  • Space…

    Posted on Friday February 29th, 2008 at 12:29 in Golf, graphics, ads, space, stuff, content, Above the Fold, this blog

    Top space, that is. As in: what shall I do with all that space on the top of my blog? In my quest to make my blog more readable, I try to give as much space as possible between the graphics and words. Am I wasting too much space? Well, [...]...
