I had no idea that Footjoy made regular shoes. I found these FootJoy Mens Casual Walkers the other day while cruising the Golf Warehouse site for shoe bargains.

I’m sure that you’ve heard by now of Mark Johnson, a former beer delivery man who’s hit it big on the Champions Tour. For 25 years, Mark made his beer deliveries through the Mojave Desert. Now, with a victory and $600,000 in earnings, he sits at number 24 on the Champions Tour money list.

Only in America.

There’s an article in the Houston Chronicle.

Golf Digest and the PGA Tour have formed a “multi year marketing partnership” in which the magazine and its subsidiaries—GolfWorld, Golf for Women, GolfWorld Business, Golf Digest .com, etc.—become official sponsores of the PGA Tour.

Michelle Wie may be the latest “hot” thing in golf marketing and in the golf press, but there’s no way a 16 year old can compete with Natalie Gulbis. Check out the 2006 Calendar.

19th Hole Comedy is a new golf blog. The author writes:

I’m a player, former pro tour tournament chairman and golf show cohost. I am writing an entertaining book of golf humor—real-life stories that are funny, embarassing, ridiculous or incredibly amusing. From time to time I will update the website with stories, essays and utter nonsense.

Give it a visit.

I’ve been a clubmaker for a long time, so I know all about swing weight, component weight, and the interaction of all the parts.

But waggleweight?

That’s a new one on me.

The folks at Waggleweight claim that its a new form of balancing the club that takes swingweighting and translates it to how it feels to a human being.

I don’t know about this, but I’m not going to spend $25 to find out.

It got cold all of a sudden here over the weekend. I played nine on Friday in 50 degree weather with 15 mile an hour winds. Felt like my ears were going to fall off.

So its time to get out the winter golfing gear: earmuffs, turtleneck shirts, sweaters and gloves. Actually, winter is the only time that I play with gloves. This year, I’m going to tive these Zero Restriction Windstopper Gloves a try. They make some really good foul weather golfing gear and I have high hopes for the gloves.
