I should take up photography

Recognize this woman? Yea I didn't either but apparently she plays on the LPGA Tour, her name is Belen Mozo. This is a picture from her photoshoot with ESPN the mag for the Body issue. I don't really get it but I can only hope there's more where this came from.  Any guesses on which other female athletes will be in the mag? Who would you rather have seen represent the women of golf in this issue? Check out the poll on the right side of the page and lets find out.

RIP Steve Jobs

I know this will be all over the Internet in a matter of nano seconds but the Steve Jobs has passed away.  He was 56 and love or hate Apple there is no denying his innovative and creative genius.  Condolences go out to the Jobs family.

Walk with Tiger

Not for an evening stroll on the beach but in the first round of the Chevron World Challenge.  I swear I'm not trying to turn this into a Tiger only blog, but what can I say the guy makes the news.  If you live near Hollywood and you would be interested in being told you're standing to close to Tiger please move away for the 10th time, you should check out this putting challenge.  Apparently when you show up to this event you will receive a voucher and some of them contain a red ticket (no Charlie this ticket won't get you into the chocolate factory). This ticket allows you to compete in a putting challenge which determines the oh so lucky guy or gal who gets to walk in the ropes with Tiger for round one of the Chevron. Yes this is a sweet prize, however being inside the ropes essentially just means you follow him around like all the other spectators except you can grab a bottle of water and a banana from the tent on the tee box.  I'm sure he'll also give the winner an autographed glove or ball or hat or something which might make it more worthwhile. I would totally go to this thing if I didn't live 2,000 miles away. Oh yea and if you do go be sure to wear your sharpest "Sunday red".

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2013, with your favorite player in Tiger's shadow on the cover

*note - picture somewhat related, apparently enough that it showed up in my image search results for the video game. So I felt it worked well. Plus I'm a big Jimmy Fallon fan.

EA Sports wants to get you involved in the marketing for their newest version of the one and only golf game worth playing.  I know you're asking yourself why me? and I'm asking the same but if you go to the games facebook app at http://apps.facebook.com/tiger-woods-bracket/ you can vote for who you want to see on the cover WITH Tiger for the next game.  They have an American brack and a European one, both including some questionable choices.  Rocco Mediate, Ben Crane, and Furyk are iffy picks IMO and the Euro side isn't much stronger.  I say we thrown in the wild card "other" vote and try and get Elin up there.

Get em while they're white hot

Hey guess what! Odyssey is now making the slightly popular belly (and long) putters available to the everyday joe blow now.  I have seen a few of them around prior to the last few days but who knows if they were custom sticks or just a motivated shopper. No matter now because you can search any site or dealer and they will have all the belly button brooms you could ever want.  If you do want one I would say buy it soon because they are sure to sell out soon because if the pros do it we've gotta do it right?

Tiger's gaining back some confidence

Tiger shot a 62 at his home course of Medalist GC. Setting the new course record which was previously set at 64. So what do we take from this? was it a practice round? yes. Does this still prove that Tiger can work his way around a course and still go freakishly low? yes.  For all we know he probably fluffed a couple of lies and foot-wedged a few from light rough to fairway. His "gimme distance" could've been 10 feet (mine's 15).  No matter how he shot it or what went down, the fact is we will be hearing about this and all things Tiger going into the Frys.com this weekend. Although the fall series event is like a JV tournament for Tiger it will give him a chance to post an official tournament score. Granted even if he does win or place top 5 everyone will say it was because it was only the Frys.com open who cares? I agree with the insignifigance of the fall series, did anyone realize there was a tournament in vegas last weekend? Being a big Tiger fan I hope he does well and gives us all some hope for the Prez cup.

Bite on the green good, bite in the mouth bad?

This is the ArmourBite, looks like a regular mouthguard you say? You couldn't be more wrong. This is a performance enhancing mouth piece made by Under Armour (because the logos didn't give it away). The basic concept is that when you clench your teeth your delaying or wasting energy and not allowing a free flow of power.  So basically if you hang your mouth wide open with and let your tongue hang out the side you should be able to drive the ball at least 600 yds.  Apparently Hunter Mahan trains with one and who knows he might have even made a putt at the Tour Championship if he wore one.  Check out more info at underarmour.com.
