The Masters and WGT
So I’m here at work trying to focus making sure we get you some incredible features in the next product release. But I can’t help but go back to masters.org and check the score. Guess what I stumbled on while I’m on their site… The guys in Augusta want “you to submit your ideas on how to get people playing, watching and talking about golf”. Well guess what… WGT would love to shoot Augusta and bring it to your home PC for play with your friends and family. So if you want to help us get Augusta excited about WGT go to this link and tell them your opinion http://www.masters.org/ggw/en/index.html

World Series of Golf on NBC June 23rd & 24th
Make sure to watch the inaugural event of the World Series of Golf on NBC this weekend June 23rd and 24th. The event is made up of everyday golfers who anted up $10,000 each to enter the tournament. The format is based on Texas Hold ‘Em Poker where players must ante before each tee shot, and can bet, raise and fold on each hole. There will be some great drama played out on the course. The winner will end up taking home $250,000! Not a bad payday just for playing a couple rounds of golf.
Make sure you check it out on NBC this coming weekend!

Harvard vs. Yale!
This comment was posted by a World Golf Tour player who attends Harvard challenging their rival, Yale, to a World Golf Tour competition. Let’s see if the “Yalies” are willing to step-up and accept the challenge!
Harvard v. Yale:
We, the undergraduate class of 2011, challenge those Yalie punks in New Haven to a match the greatest internet sport ever, the greatest game ever -World Golf Tour, Inc. What would you Yalies be willing to pony-up per hole per freshman?

Ho Hum…Tiger wins again
The final round of the Wachovia Open looked like it was going to be an exciting one. With Tiger, Vijay Singh, Phil Mickelson, and Rory Sabbatini within a couple shots of each other I was expecting a fantastic finish. We ended up a lot of excitement during the round, but the ending was anti-climactic. Tiger seemed to be in command after going eagle-birdie-birdie on holes 7, 8 & 9. The double bogey on 13 added a little drama but did anyone really think Tiger wouldn’t come through in the end? I never really had any doubts.
I heard an unreal stat on the CBS telecast on Saturday. They said that during the 2005, 2006 & 2007 PGA season Tiger Woods has had 1059 putts within 3 feet. Guess how many he has missed? ONE!!! He has missed only 1 putt within 3 feet during the last 3 years!! That just blew me away. If I needed to count the number of 3 footers I have missed during the past 3 years I would need all my fingers, toes, and the finger and toes of about 20 other people. I guess it just goes to show that you drive for show and putt for dough. I would really doubt that any other PGA player has that same level of success from 3 feet and in. Who else do you think would even be close to Tiger? Mickelson? Maybe. After hearing that statistic during the telecast I felt a strong urge to head to the putting green and practice those 3-footers. I never made it to the putting green…now I know why I don’t make them very often!

Plumpjack/LINK Golf Tournament
I was lucky enough to play in the 8th Annual PlumpJack/LINK (learning, information, networking and knowledge) Golf Classic yesterday to benefit the Northern California Cancer Center (NCCC). It was a great day at Lake Merced Golf and Country Club in Daly City, CA. The weather was warm (most of the day), birdies were showing up on everyone’s scorecard (it was a scramble!) and the NCCC received some much needed funding for researching the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Mayor Gavin Newsom played in the tournament as well as some other members of the San Francisco society scene. My team did not fare so well in the tournament but we had a great time. The dinner and silent auction after the golf was pretty exciting too. Stuart Schweigert from the Oakland Raiders was there. I never would have guessed that he was a football player when I saw him because he didn’t look particularly big or strong. Someone told me that Stuart can run the 40 in 4.4 seconds and can hit like a mack truck. I guess you can’t judge a book by its cover!
