So I've become a fan of Rory McIlroy lately. So today I decided to look up and see if he had a website or blog. It turns out he does. He has a blog on the site and it seems to be painfully clear that he does the postings himself.

Now, let me just say I want to hear what he has to say from his own head. I do. But my problem with his blog is the first entry I read was riddled with grammatically errors and run-on sentences. Past that there isn't much of a flow, but I can forgive that, he's a golfer not a writer. I can't forgive terrible grammar (of which I know i don't have the best grammar myself) The difference is his management company, that seems to run the site, could have an editor to proofread and fix grammar for him on the posts, if he doesn't have the time or skill to do that sort of proofreading himself...

Anyone else have similar things they've noticed about other tour player's blogs, or recommendations of any really good blogs (and of course if you want to point out really bad ones do that to).

I'm terrible, but i have fun.

You've read stuff on here, right?

I do understand your point and agree that from a PR standpoint it would be better, but maybe the "strategy" is to have Rory appear to be like any other kid (young or old) blogging on the web.

Hah, yeah You're definitely right.

I guess I was hoping for a little more. I was interested in what he had to say but I couldn't get past the run on sentences. I like the idea of the kid having his own voice on the internet, I think thats great.

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
