Friday March 31, 2006 | 08:20:05 am 132 words, 2267 views  
First of all, Bruce Stasch and the Golf Gear News podcast has made its way to WorldGolf.com. Bruce was born to podcast, he just had to wait all these years for it to become popular. He’s talking about golf gear, crazy golf stories and everything in between. If New 2 Golf wasn’t addicted to golf before, he certainly is after his first tournament. Matthew Ipsan went to Golfest, GolfWeek’s “Golf Lifestyle Extravaganza” in Charlotte and told the readers at Unplayable Lies about it. Seems he had an interesting chat with a PGA professional from Orlando. Finally, the RV Golfer has a redesigned office ...

It's a Golf Chick's world: Golf Blogger Survivor champ has her say, Part I

Tuesday March 28, 2006 | 08:20:24 am 559 words, 2344 views  
Following her smashing victory over a field of boys in the first-ever Golf Blogger Survivor, Golf Chick and I did a little girl talk over e-mail. The end results were so good (and apparently spell-checked ;), I just decided to run our little Q&A verbatim, as part of her Survivor victory prize. So, to do that, I will run this in two parts. In this part, Golf Chick chatted about how she started golfing (I wonder what happened to that “new relationship?") and what she does well, and not so well on the golf course. Golf Chick Q&A Part I Heather: When did ...

Players Championship, a good book on the mind of golf bloggers

Thursday March 23, 2006 | 06:51:19 am 118 words, 2714 views  
From tournament previews to book reviews, golf bloggers are telling it like it is. The Sand Trap is one of the Web sites previewing the 2006 Players Championship at TPC at Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. and debating whether it should be the “5th major.” At Travelling Golfer, Mike Sigers seems to have enjoyed the book The Morris Men much more than that dastardly William K. Wolfrum did. “More or less, I read it in 4 hours, without hardly having put it down. It’s that good,” blogs Siger. Finally, want to make a grouch golfer happier? Then take a look at the ...

New blogs focus on photography and golf architecture

Monday March 20, 2006 | 11:29:51 am 179 words, 2546 views  
Golf bloggers come and go, as a recent blog at Hooked on Golf reminds us. Luckily, there seems to be more comings than goings lately, and its time to welcome some fun new blogs to the golf scene. First off is a photo blog by the fabulous Frenchman Patrick Micheletti. Called One Day One Shot, Micheletti is planning to be a busy man to show off some of his favorite photography. “The objective is to post one new golf shot each day, if possible from a recent and good shot, it’s not always easy, but a very fun challenge,” wrote Micheletti. Then there ...

Women's rankings and golf technology have bloggers feeling fine

Friday March 17, 2006 | 08:39:14 am 146 words, 2354 views  
With the golf season really starting to gain some momentum, golf bloggers are picking up the pace themselves. Lashan Clarke at Engolfed is a one of the golf bloggers talking about the Rolex Women’s Golf Rankings. Lashan also mentions something Chris Baldwin has said all along – that many critics think Paula Creamer, and not Michelle Wie, will be the one chasing Annika Sorenstam. Proving that he can’t help himself when it comes to new golf technology, Bogeyman gives his thoughts on the new TaylorMade r7 460 driver. At Golf Dash, has been talking to Long Drive Champ Sean Fister and shares some ...

It’s with great cheerfulness I get to welcome Stacy Solomon to the Daily Blog team! Many of you know Stacy and have kept up with her golf career and her advice for golfing newbies.

Annika drives home a point while golf bloggers find a faux pas

Monday March 13, 2006 | 12:59:21 155 words, 2191 views  
It would take a person specializing in golf and business to see deeper into someone driving a golf cart. Suzanne Woo at the Business Golf Blog talks about seeing Annika Sorenstam riding in a cart during the recent MasterCard Classic – and driving. “I chuckled to myself because when I speak to professionals I suggest that they drive if they’re the host of a business golf round. The goal is to build a relationship and treat your guest well that day. To see Annika driving, just showed who is in charge and is in the power position,” wrote Woo. Rich at Eat Golf ...

Golf Chick outlasts them all to be the No. 1 Golf Blogger Survivor!

Tuesday March 7, 2006 | 11:13:29 399 words, 2306 views  
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls: We have a Golf Blogger Survivor Champion. Golf Blogger Survivor was a game where bloggers got a secret, silly or strange word to put into their blog as seamlessly, or humorously as possible. Many thanks to all those who played, even Ron Mon, who was ridden off the island on a rail. Looking back, here are some of my favorites: Mark at Another Golf Website, showing his skills with the word “floccinaucinihilipilification:” Golf Chick using the word “speculum” to describe Tiger Wood’s concentration over a putt: “The Speculum Squat. What I would give to see through Tiger’s eyes. ...

Bloggers discussing golf from Atlanta to La Costa

Friday March 3, 2006 | 08:06:02 231 words, 2272 views  
So what have golf bloggers been up to lately? Let’s take a look: John K. is keeping us up to date on the Atlanta golf scene at The Hole Truth. He’s running a poll to find out Atlanta’s favorite golf course that we’re interested in seeing the results for down the road. Bogey Lounge was one of the sites to blog about former U.S. President Bill Clinton getting snubbed at an Australian golf course. Perhaps this is the beginning of golf clubs not allowing politicians to dirty up their courses? Am I the only one who like Armchair Golfer’s Golf by the Numbers? ...
