One of the things that interests me about the internet is that it makes possible stores wth an extremely narrow focus. GolfPushCarts dot Com is an example. There is absolutely no way that a store that sold only golf push carts could exist in the brick-and-mortar world. But because the internet lets an entrepreneur market to tens of millions at minimal cost, a crazy idea becomes a viable entity.

According to his press release, author

David Nevogt says “The Simple Golf Swing” has helped 7,987 golfers during the past 2 years”. David suggests that the system has a success rate of 95%, and bogey golfers are able to lower their handicaps by AT LEAST 7 strokes within the first couple of rounds.

If only it were this simple. But maybe it is (hope springs eternal. Or is that, I hope for an eternal spring?).

Of course, everyone knows about Tiger Woods, and now, Michelle Wie. There have been others, though, who showed top golf talent at a young age. This article reveals the list. Jack Nicklaus is not one of them, though. He apparently didn’t play his first full round until he was a teenager.

Michelle Wie, nicknamed “The Big Wiesy” by Ernie Els didn’t make the cut at the Sony Open. (For those of you not in on the joke, Els’ nickname is “The Big Easy” for his long, flowing swing.) In fact, during the televised broadcast last night, they showed a side-by-side clip of Wie and Els’ swings. They were remarkably similar—same takeaway, same top set, same downswing. The difference was in the follow-through on the swing.  Wie almost completely turned herself around. Els, who was doing the commentary on the clip, joked about her flexibility. That’s what comes from being a 15-year-old girl.

Here’s an extremely funny bit from over on rec.sports.golf. Thanks to Manna Pheuwards for posting it:
