Meteor hits a few miles from HOG world headquarters!
This is pretty cool. A meteor lit up the sky here yesterday and likely landed in the Utah west desert. No word yet if anyone has be abducted by aliens yet…

I need a fisherman to fish out my Golf Fisherman!
When ProV1’s and ZStar’s and B330 golf balls are $40-60 a dozen, it really makes fishing balls out of the water hazards a productive activity. Ball retrievers can save you a fortune in lost golf balls. The Golf Fisherman (sounds like the Popeil Pocket Fisherman) is just the tool for ...

Course Keeper
The Course Keeper is an extendable golf rake and ball retriever for those who would rather buy their own $60 rake then have to search around for one on the course. Better than a regular old rake? Funny you should ask that question. The Course Keeper extends to nine feet long for raking without ...

Cross Sight golf alignment aid
I go through periods of time when I have no idea where to put the ball in my stance, and where my ball actually is. Doubts come in to my confidence and I play bad golf. This happens 2-3 times a hear. It is strange to say the least, having no idea if my ball [...]

Sherpa Man and his Sherpa Chair
This past summer I had a terrific time hiking in Arches National Park. I was playing host and tour guide to four very fun ladies. Over the course of that weekend the ladies affectionately started calling me “Sherpa Man.” Little did I know that a couple of months later I’d ...

Handy Caddy
Here’s a golf accessory for keeping your clubs dry or just having convenient access to them while practicing. I suppose if you have a club losing problem, this may help too. The “Handy Caddy” sticks into the ground with the forked end and provides an oval ring on the top which ...

Columbia Match Play Golf Parka – Hard to review rain gear when you live in a desert
To prevent rain, bring your rain gear… (or live in Salt Lake) I’ve had a couple of really awesome pieces of rain gear from Columbia Sportswear tucked in my golf bag just waiting to be worn. The problem is that here in Salt Lake we’re in a desert. Yes we’re associated ...

Casio EX-FS10 could be a great camera for golf swing analysis
There are systems out there which are thousands of bucks, designed to analyze golf swings. They can draw lines for posture, swing planes etc. They also have super slow mo for capturing crucial points in time during the swing. Enter the Casio EX-FS10 Now Casio has a pocket sized, point and ...

Kicking and screaming, I integrate Twitter here
HOG TWIT I have a pal who I listen to and value his advice greatly. He’s my best friend. If he told me to jump off a cliff, I’d ask which one. If he told me to switch from ProV1’s to Top Flites I’d ask if he wanted me to play the XL’s or the Gamers. [...]

Tiger Woods leads after two rounds in Australia
The press has Tiger mania about Tiger mania. They’re all going crazy about Tiger playing in Australia, and his $3 appearance fee. The course, Kingston Heath measures out at 6923 yards (I had to convert it from meters), which is pretty short for PGA Tour players and the scores reflect ...

New category “BONEHEADS” created
In honor of my last post and some of the dumb things golfers do, I’ve created a new category here at Hooked On Golf Blog called “Boneheads.” Boneheads will no doubt be a regular stop for funny reading material. I get the impression John Daly may be mentioned in this category a ...

I’m a professional golf blogger. Don’t try what I do at home. You may harm yourself or accidentally throw stuff into a lake.
Today I’m testing this “golf accessory.” It is a tool which you throw out into a lake to drag the bottom for golf balls. You throw it like a fishing line or a grappling weapon of some sort, then drag it back to you, presumably retrieving dozens of brand new shiny ...

What it is all about
Today was perhaps the last “good” weather day here in Salt Lake. I got together with my regular Thursday buddies (yes it is Wednesday for those counting) Marius (sumi-g) and Arnie my long time golf buddy. We were joined by “Shanego” who is an old pal I’ve reunited ...

Tiger Woods sighting in Australia
Tiger Woods will be playing in the Masters this week. That is the “Australian Masters.” I’d fly all the way there and play in that tournament too, and for far less than the $3 million appearance fee Tiger is getting for just showing up. In fact I think I’d probably fly ...

Advise for chipping on tight lies
The weather is changing here. The grass on the courses has slowed or stopped growing. When the courses aren’t covered in winter snow here in Utah and the grass is dormant, the lies in the fairways or anywhere there’s short grass, can be very tight. Chipping with higher lofted ...
