Happy Labor Day, all. I don’t know where you’re at, but in Washington DC, the weather is beautiful. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get on the course this weekend, but hopefully family obligations and warm Bud Light haven’t prevented the rest of you from the ol’ hit-and-chase.
Let’s get right to the links.
Hole 1: Please Help
Let’s get this week started off right. I’d like to challenge anyone who reads this to donate whatever they can to the David Toms Foundation to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. [link]
Hole2: Bloody Geese
I’ll admit it. I’m scared of birds. They’re just so unpredictable! I consider geese my enemy. I hate them and will hit them with a 5-iron if they come too close on the course. So, golfchick, you might want to get the po-po, cause I’ll do it. I’m serious. [link]
Hole 3: Who’s Your Caddy?
I wish I would have known about this contest. I would have submitted about 10,587 entries. This is a lucky dude. [link]
Hole 4: Tiny Tots
Here’s a good article about children golfers and the way their fathers are coaching them. Some are pushing them too hard to be the next Tiger, while others are not. I’m curious, if you have children (or when you do), will you push your kids or will you let them determine how good they want to be? [link]
Hole 5: Foreign Correspondent
I’m just a short drive from Dewey Beach. Maybe GolfPunk needs an assisstant to this bunker babe’s coverage of the area? I’m pretty hands on. [link]
Hole 6: Falling Prices
Ashworth took a hit this past week. Their stock price fell almost 25% this past Friday. Now, I’m no stock genius, but I’m pretty sure this ain’t good. [link]
Hole 7: Table Tennis Injury
Vijay, I feel your pain dude. I had the same thing happen to me, except I was playing beer pong with my college roommate and my hangover caused me to quit going to my 8am class. I guess it’s not the same thing, but still. [link]
Hole 8: Hot Balls
These things are coming out for the Newport Cup. I have never tried some of these illegal balls, but I’d like to. I think I have a sleeve I got as a gift, come to think of it. I’ll have to try them in a scramble or something. Anywho. Here’s a good rundown of what’s available. [link]
Hole 9: The Donald Championship
I say let Trump host a major championship at his course. Can you imagine how funny and over-the-top he would make it? I bet they’d have a red carpet, and he’d try to rename it to get his name on the trophy. We could even make it as a project for the Apprentice. [link]
