Sexy golf blogger toes the line between whoring for hits and making valid points

Recently it’s come to my attention that there are readers out there that believe I, William K. Wolfrum, the undisputed sexiest male blogger in the entire Golf Publisher Syndications network, is a keyword whore who will stick any subject together with golf in order to garner more hits.

“I’m disappointed that you stooped to make this association, WKW … But I have to ask: Does a line exist that you won’t cross for a couple more hits and comments? (I wince at the possibility that my own comment is probably only egging on more.),” wrote Kristen “Golfchick” Williams, in regard to my blockbuster blog, “If O.J. Simpson can get iffy, so can a golf blogger.”


“I saw that someone is linking Golf with Iran. Now what do you call that? Golf and Terrorism?” wrote Baby Blue Eyes.

“This blog seems beneath you K. Like you almost just threw two big names together to try to get some hits, while catering to a crazed demographic (Wie Warriors),” wrote Chris Baldwin in response to “Natalie Gulbis vs. Michelle Wie: Selling your body obviously better than selling out your game.”

Now, it’s easy enough to blow off Baldwin. After all, the guy’s spent the last two weeks desperately trying to convince people that David Duval and Mike Tyson are mirror images, and is the same guy that has shown that even when he’s completely, utterly wrong about something - like the lack of daylight-savings time in Arizona - he’s willing to argue his wrongness with an intensity only shared by people like Bill O’Reilly.

But when people like Golfchick hammer at you, well, it makes you think. It makes you think long and hard. Because Lord knows she’d never pander. Nor would her co-blog-author, the adorable Goose.

After thinking about whether I’ve crossed the line, I realized that I haven’t. Nope, not me. That’s because I have editorial integrity and there are some lines I would never cross. You could not even begin to imagine some of the insane ideas I’ve had in the past, that I’ve shot down because they went too far, insulted too many people, and were morally reprehensible.

In fact, here are a few of those ideas.

William K. Wolfrum presents: Crossing that line

“Repeated viewing of Paris Hilton’s video can help your stroke”

Michelle Wie: 325 days to glory

“Tom Cruise marries Katie Holmes while Dancing with the Stars and free Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii keeps the focus off terrorists in Iraq. Also, golf!”

“The U.S. can win the Ryder Cup if it tasers enough UCLA students

“Phil Mickelson and riding a horse across a janitor’s neck in Houston: the similarities”

Operation Urgent Fury: Let’s invade Julieta Granada

“Naked pictures of Tiger Woods’ wife, click here

“David Duval is Golf’s Mike Tyson”

“Charles Manson, Son of Sam and Il Mi Chung, three of a kind”

Carolyn Bivens: Damn, what a MILF”

Seriously, the list goes on and on. So just remember that when you think I’ve gone too far chasing hits. Things could be worse. They could be much, much worse.

(World's richest golfer in Scotland)

Found today on Slashdot politics,
regarding Scott Adams posting on
the Dilbert blog that an atheist
like Bill Gates could be president:


A geek, a nerd, and a programmer walk into a bar
when the entire roof collapses on all 3 of them.
As the dust begans to clear they begin to see what
looks like a Scottish golfer holding a nine-iron.

The Geek stands up and says, "I think we're dead."
The nerd exclaims, "Oh my God, that's Bill Gates!"
The programmer mutters, "We've ended up in Hell."

Mr. Gates just chuckles and explains to the boys
that he retired from Microsoft and bought Heaven.
I call it, "Bill Gates meets the Pearly Gates."
The dorks snort approvingly at the King of Dorks.

"You see" he continues, "I heard it is harder for
a rich man to get into Heaven than a camel to get
through the eye of needle, so I bought the place."

Gates lines up a 90 foot chip, takes aim, and it
goes right into the cup. "And if you want to join
me here in Heaven you each must correctly answer
one technical question. But they will be easy.

The geek gets asked "What is under assembly code?"
and he quickly replies, "Machine Language"

The nerd is then asked "What's under Windows 95?"
to which he quickly sneers "DOS 6.0"

The programmer then hears, "What is under my kilt?"
and he blurts out "Oh, I get the hard one"

And Bill Gates says, "Welcome everyone, to Heaven!"
