Time to Call in the Golf Fashion Police?

Posted in Fun Stuff at 11:58 pm by alex

The great thing about golf attire is the latitude players have for self-expression. This of course opens the way for going too far, as I discovered today when I stumbled on the Flair Hair Visor and Bang-Go Cap:

Make a Difference with $1

Posted in Fun Stuff at 3:49 pm by alex

From Friday, Aug. 29 through Monday, Sept. 1, you can show your support for the families of our troops while doing what you love–by donating a minimum of $1 during a round of golf for Patriot Golf Day. All funds raised will benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation to provide educational scholarships to families of those who have become disabled or have lost their lives in the line of duty. In 2007, some 3,200 golf facilities nationwide participated in Patriot Golf Day, raising more than $1 million dollars. You can look up participating golf courses in your state here: http://www.playgolfamerica.com/index.cfm?action=patriot

World Golf Tour and GGL Global Gaming Bring Golf to the Olympics

Posted in World Golf Tour News at 12:42 am by alex

Now that the Olympics are upon us, calls are again being made to have golf accepted as an official Olympic sport. WGT, of course, loves the idea of golf in the Olympics, and has partnered with GGL Global Gaming to be a part of the 2008 Digital Games. In doing so, we hope to bring golf to the masses and give people an opportunity to experience a game (and course!) they might otherwise not have the chance to in real life. You can read more about the partnership here: http://www.worldgolftour.com/news_olympics.aspx

The final major of the golf season is upon us! The 90th PGA Championship will be played beginning this Thursday at Oakland Hills in Michigan, and here at WGT headquarters, we are having a little office competition where each of us picks four players who we think will do best in the tournament. At the end of the tournament, we total up the scores for our players, and the person with the lowest score wins the office bragging rights.

Who are your four picks?

With Tiger Out, Less People Watch Golf

Posted in Pro-Golf News at 1:02 pm by alex

The presence of Greg Norman on the leaderboard apparently couldn’t offset the absence of Tiger Woods.

ABC’s final-round coverage of the British Open on Sunday earned a 3.5 overnight rating, a 15 percent drop from last year (4.1). Padraig Harrington won both years, although last year’s numbers were bolstered by his four-hole playoff against Sergio Garcia. In a report issued last month, Magna’s Brian Hughes notes that the average household rating for four non-major events Woods participated in this year was double that of non-Woods PGA events, a 3.6 compared to a 1.8.

All told, viewership of the majors may hit its lowest since 1997, when Tiger first dominated the Masters. The networks have responded by extensively covering Tiger’s injury during majors, in an effort to generate more interest.

Will you tune in despite Tiger’s absence?

Bad Economy, Great Golf Deals

Posted in Equipment, Fun Stuff at 3:33 pm by alex

Everywhere you look these days there is a sale, promotion, or give-away going on. Kind of makes me think about all the things I overpaid for when times were better. No matter, getting in on the good deals now will average things out, right? Here are some promotions we came across that we thought we’d pass on:

Callaway Gas Card (ends tomorrow!): Free gas card with purchase of driver
