GolfDash Hot List

doug — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:17:51 +0000

So I added a new section on our blog which I think is pretty cool. It’s called the GolfDash Hot List.

It actually aggregates all the “hottest” golf items being auctioned on Ebay. Really some fascinating stuff. I mean, check out the number of bids (and the amount of people watching)!

The auction changes continuously so be sure to check back often to see whats HOT.

Note: in interest of full disclosure I am NOT an Ebay affiliate and make nothing (that’s right, zilch!) if you purchase something via this section. Who knows – maybe that will change in the future – and if it does you will be the first to know. I just like the script and how it aggregates only the “hottest” golf items.

Is There Anyone in Panama that Could Beat Tiger Woods at a Round of Golf?

doug — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:38:31 +0000

Though Panama is a breathtaking Central American country that is known for its amazing weather and white sand beaches, many people go there for much more challenging reasons than just a relaxing vacation.

While Panama hotels are elegant and comfortable, and there is more than enough sunshine to go around, many travelers also like to compete in rigorous golf tournaments to test their reflexes and skills.

Generally new to Panama, the sport of golf has caught on there like a wildfire, with millions of dollars spent to create and maintain a multitude of gorgeous golf courses. However, though there are various golf resorts and packages for beginners and intermediates, Panama is the perfect place to push prospective expert golfers into the professional circuit.

Of course, the ultimate challenge to any golfer would be to play a round of golf with arguably the best player of all time: Tiger Woods.

Many golfers ask themselves, just what would it take to defeat Tiger Woods at a round of golf? How many hours of practice and concentration would one need on a Panama golf course? To even begin to understand what a challenger Tiger Woods would be, one must become familiarized with his inspirational and groundbreaking history.

The Many Victories of Tiger Woods
Named as the Michael Jordan of golf, Tiger Woods has a bigger collection of PGA Tour wins than any other current golfer. For a record nine times, he was awarded the PGA Player of the Year, and was the youngest player to win fifty consecutive tournaments in a row.

On top of these accomplishments, Tiger Woods is still the only person to be named Sports Illustrated’s “Sportsman of the Year,” on more than one occasion.

Woods as a Legendary Figure
Even more impressive than Tiger’s list of awards and victories, is the fact that he alone has changed the face of golf forever. He is the first African American to win the Masters tournament, and his very presence has attracted a whole new generation of golf fans.

Because of his winning personality, unbelievable talents, and one of a kind story, Tiger Woods is the golfer who has drawn the largest television audiences in golf history.

Practice in Panama Makes Perfect
For all of those dreamers out there who want a chance to take on this titan of golf, it is going to take more work and determination than you have ever imagined. However, for the brave golfers who are up to the challenge, Panama offers the perfect golf courses, peaceful atmosphere, and luxurious resorts to provide the ultimate backdrop for all of your training needs.

But golfers must be prepared for failure and disappointment, as Tiger Woods is a competitor who settles for nothing less than perfection in every stroke.

So make your reservations, get your plane tickets, and don’t forget your golf clubs, because Panama is where the next Tiger Woods could be born.

Open Championship Online Shopping

I just received notification from the British Open folks that they are now selling official 2009 Open merchandise online. For those of you who like mementos from majors, this might be the year to get a nice shirt, hat or ball marker from Turnberry. They look cool when you’re walking around your club and no one has to know that you weren’t actually there in person.

The Ultimate Golf Prize

doug — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:40:13 +0000

Now this is a GREAT idea. I have been a big fan of Owen Garratt’s work for sometime. I mean *only* 1500 companies have used Owen’s limited edition art prints as the ultimate golf prize.

All you have to do is see a drawing once and you can immediately see (and feel) the artistry of his pencil-only drawings. I guess he’s not called “the pencilneck” for nothing!

But back to the idea. Now if you have played in a few golf tournaments ( I have played in SO many) all the gifts are typically the same. The same boring box of balls, golf shirts, gift certificates, free passes to play golf, etc. Of course, these are not *bad* gifts but not very exceptional just because they are common.

So Owen has come up with the idea to give limited edition golf art prints instead. Who would not want an exclusive limited edition print of one of Owen’s golf-related themes? I am going to sprinkle some of his golf-related themes throughout this post as only be seeing them can you get an idea of the power of his work.

And it’s nice too that the works are fairly non-descript. That is, they don’t depict a particular hole or particular club. I believe Owen does do individual commissions but you most likely will have to pay a pretty steep fee. But, heck, quality art costs money, right?!

Currently Owen is running an amazing special. He will actually give you a limited edition ($69 value) “mini-print” free just for checking out his Golf Corporate Program. Absolutely no strings attached. He has a small video that explains it much better here: the ultimate golf prize.

I would encourage you (especially you have anything to do with organizing golf tournaments) to take a moment to discover Owen’s art at his site: The Pencilneck – And, of course, tell him you found about about him via the GolfDash blog. I am always happy to spread the word about great golf art. There is just not enough of it out there.

Tee Off at St. Andrews’ Old Course

doug — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:05:40 +0000

As most golfers know, getting a tee time at the renowned Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland, can be an exercise in patience.

Even those who have made the trip to the course and wait in the lottery line to receive a possible playing time are often disappointed to learn that the course is completely booked.

In honor of Homecoming Scotland 2009, a series of events and celebrations throughout the year in honor of poet Robert Burns’ 250th birthday, the Old Course Hotel and golf course are offering exclusive, guaranteed tee-off times to its guests as part of the Come Home to Play package.

The package, starting at $2,679 per person, includes a three-night stay at the resort, guaranteed tee-time on the Old Course and either the New or Jubilee course, a spa treatment at the Kohler Waters Spa, and two dinners at the resort’s fine-dining restaurant, the Road Hole Grill.
