Wanted to give a shout-out to my buddy, John, over at
GolfBlogger.com. It was his 8 year anniversary of the launch of Golfblogger.com just a few days ago. Congrats, my good man!
8 years. Wow! that's pretty amazing when you think about it. Here at GolfDash I think we're about 4 or so now but to be around for 8 years in the blogosphere is just damn impressive.
I always love reading and perusing the content at GolfBlogger. It's "hands-down" one of the top golf blogs in operation today. Period. You don't hang around that many years because you have crappy content.
I have never met John personally but we have collaborated ...

I say this somewhat *tongue in cheek* because I mean no disrespect for Mr. Woods and his many amazing golfing accomplishments but the beauty of Tiger losing IS the beauty of sport itself.
Tiger 2 up going into the last round of a major is/was a forgone conclusion for a win. After all, he has done it every single time he has been in the lead. So why watch? We could do something else rather than watch the boob tube and then pick up the next mornings newspaper with the headlines "Tiger Captures Number 15"
But, as we all know, that did not happen. Y.E. Yang (the 110th ranked golfer in the world) ...
Check out this interesting tidbit below. Talk about going postal. Hey John, this is one idea to speed up slow play, huh!? - df
KENT, Wash. (AP) — A golfer has been sentenced to 1½ years in prison for bashing another player over the head with a 6-iron during a fight over slow play.
The 34-year-old man, Nicholas Jay Shampine, had been convicted of assault in King County Superior Court.
At Thursday's sentencing, he said he was sorry, but also claimed he was defending his brother in the clash a year ago between two groups of golfers.
The victim, 45-year-old James Compton, says he still has memory loss and headaches.
Congratulations to 2009 US OPEN winner Lucas Glover!
Although I was hoping for a Phil or Duval story, Glover played smart and steady with no real hiccups throughout the day.
His final card looked like this: 69-64-70-73-276 -4
Besides the check for $1,350,000 here a few other US Open perks he receives:
In line with the other majors, winning the U.S. Open gives a golfer several privileges that makes his career much more secure.
U.S. Open champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (the Masters, the Open Championship (British Open), and the PGA Championship) for the next five years, as well as the Players Championship, and they are exempt from qualifying ...
The luck of the draw certainly plays its part in golf, but at this year's US Open it IS the story. After Friday's rounds were over, all of the players in red figures, except 2, came from the second groupings. It couldn't be clearer that they had a huge advantage.
Those who teed it up Thursday played in rain until play was suspended, then had to come out Friday morning to damp soggy conditions and finish up. The second pairings got to play almost two rounds on Friday as they began late morning, playing until darkness. What they got were dry clubs, quickly draining fairways and rough, and greens soft as ...
I have just a few quick impressions on Quail Hollow as I'm still unpacking from our Scotland trip.
When is the last time you saw Tiger Woods open a tournament at 7 under after the first round and then go only 2 under over the next 3 rounds? When is the last time he started the last round within a couple of shots of the leader and never made up a single stroke? Tiger is still the best, it just goes to show how difficult it is to return to competitive golf after a long layoff. Think back and it's hard to find a golfer who has ever come back to pre-layoff ...

Behold the golf country club, a place of privacy, exclusivity, privilege and markdown bargains.
Bargains? Markdowns?
Although many restrictive private country clubs traditionally recruit members by invitation only, this month, the
private Glenwood Country Club in Old Bridge, N.J., is advertising on the New York sports-radio station WFAN to promote memberships with no initiation fee and no monthly spending limits. The club is raffling off a free membership online and has advertised on billboards in New Jersey, inviting member applications.
In eastern Massachusetts, the resplendent Golf Club of Cape Cod opened two years ago with an attention-grabbing initiation ...
HOLZundEISEN—German for wood and iron—sells equipment for a new sport that's taking off in cities around the world: urban golf. Also known as cross golf or street golf, urban golf isn't limited to country clubs, and its players don't have to fork over exorbitant greens fees (although a good personal liability insurance is advisable). Instead, they play their rounds on building sites, campuses, rooftops and quiet streets.
Since urban golfers literally hit the pavement, HOLZundEISEN’s iron is extra durable. It's equally suited to long and short shots, a definite advantage for golfers trekking through the city without a caddy. As befits a democratic game, the club is priced at ...
