Well, it’s almost upon us. The pinnacle of my golf season will arrive on Saturday. It’s the point in my year where I must summon the golf gods and hope that they cast good fortunes my way. That’s right, it’s almost time for the Newport Cup. It should be a ton of fun. Hopefully all the rust and dust that has gathered will be forgotten when I take my first swing.
I’m sure there will be updates, but for now, here’s the links. Oh, and don’t forget to root for the red team!
Hole 1: Great Mini-Golf Course
I’m not a fan of mini-golf, but I definitely need to take a road trip to play this course. I love the “monkey poo” hole. [link]
Hole 2: Deal Alert
Does anyone want to send me this watch for review? Or buy it for me? Christmas is coming up, plus it’s on sale. Gosh, I need one of these. [link]
Hole 3: 72 Holes, 72 hours
This is a great concept for reviewing a regions golf courses. I’ve enjoyed reading all the pieces. Check the archives for all the others, they’re worth a read. [link]
Hole 4: Poker is the New Golf
CEOs are picking up a deck of cards instead of a set of clubs. Well, I imagine they’d prefer a set of clubs in their deck of cards. Rimshot! I should be a comedian. [link]
Hole 5: If Tiger Says So
Tiger seems to think that Michelle Wie is capable of coping with being a professional golfer at such a young age. I think she’ll be just fine as long as her father doesn’t become too involved, which is destined to happened. I would put some money on there being an E! True Hollywood Story coming soon. [link]
Hole 6: Stupid Football
I got stuck watching the NFL yesterday and completely missed this playoff. I’ve been hoping to see those two match up just for funzies. Oh well, I guess I didn’t miss much. [link]
Hole 7: Yes, Please
Anyone else ready for 2006? If not, take a look at this and then answer the question! [link]
Hole 8: Confusing Headline
Does the headline, ‘Red hot Chile putter Perrot rallies past Han to win the LPGA Longs Drugs Challenge’, confuse anyone else? I think there is a play on words in there, but I’m not quite sure. [link]
Hole 9: MJ Links
MJonGolf has a couple cool links this week. One about a deaf golfer and a second about a 274 yard hole-in-one. Check them out. [link & link]
