Qolf — WTF?
July 12th, 2008 — Golf
So clicking around the channels I saw this advertisement (I think) for a thing called Qolf. Yes, Qolf. What is it? Well, I think it’s lawn golf. Your wife or mom will be so happy you decided to play golf on the lawn.
update: it appears that you can also play indoors. No doubt you local TV store is happy about that. Should be good for business.

Tiger Forces Playoff with Rocco
June 16th, 2008 — Golf
Tiger birdied the 72 hole to force a playoff with Rocco Mediate, after blowing a 2 shot lead to start the day.
If Rocco wins, he will be the oldest Major, and oldest first time Major winner in history. He will also break Tiger’s streak of having never lost a tourney when leading after 54 holes.

More Broadcaster Idiocy

Bob Costas must be a complete idiot. Today on the coverage of the U.S. Open at Torre Pines he decided to make a joke about Tiger Woods’ “swing coach”, Hank Haney that was offensive. Another in a long line of stupid comments made by announcers. Horrible coverage.
