This is the blog of golf’s 99 percent.

While the site is a labor of love, the costs do add up. Fortunately, over the years, GolfBlogger.Com has been fortunate to find a small number of sponsors to help to pay the bills. You can say thanks to the companies that make GolfBlogger possible by giving them a visit:

GolfBlogger got a link in the esteemed community weblog, MetaFilter. That link that says “recreate the famous sandwiches” leads to this article on GolfBlogger, here.

Thanks, guys.

A recent National Golf Foundation report included an infographic that points to GolfBlogger as the face of golf blogging.

NGF did this entirely on their own. They didn’t ask my permission to use the logo (I would gladly have given it), and didn’t even bother to tell me about it after the fact. It only came to my attention when one of my loyal readers asked whether I was aware of their use of my logo.

Nonetheless, I’m happy to have their endorsement.

I have to delete a lot of spam messages from the golf forums. Most are written in garbled English. Few, however, make as little sense as this one:

Title: shanghai escorts
Message:According to reports, the appearance of two police patrol boats 26 meters long, 4.4 meters wide, can carry 16 people, even when fully loaded state of deep calm water speed of up to 50 km / h and a range of more than 20 hours therefore can afford security patrols, counter-terrorism anti-riot, it is important water security, water rescue and escort work, and the multiple security response alarm daily tasks, is used for police patrols of the most advanced water craft.

New patrol boat is not only “are bigger,” do not have heaven and earth inside. It reported is that the installation of mobile patrol boats Electronic Camera Can Wireless transmission Signals, real-time image information within a clearly visible not only in the patrol, but also sync back to land-based command center, the big screen. Moreover, the command center can remotely control the camera, the image information at any time view the board for water authorities to grasp the dynamics of science policy-making and command and provide the basis for disposal.

It’s so bad, it’s actually funny.

The internet has gone down at GolfBlogger World Headquarters (its actually been out since early yesterday), and AT&T/SBC/Ameritech (or whatever they’re calling themselves these days) says it’ll be some twenty four hours before it comes back up. Right now, I’m using my phone to post—not the best method. I’ll still be writing and posting (I write compulsively the way some people gamble compulsively), but my grandiose plans for posting plans from the Crowne Plaza Invitational are on a little bit of a hold.

I recently did an interview with the folk at Leaderboard Golf across the pond.
