My two golf sites, Hooked On Golf Blog and The Golf Space, have a new sponsor this December, Annika perfume by Annika Sorenstam. I have a bottle and I’m making the ladies I know wear some so I can do a review shortly. I’m in the “sniffvaluation” period right now. So far I like it.
The makers of Annika perfume asked me how I can help get the word out about their product so I suggested we run a couple of contests for December and the winners will get a bottle as a prize.
The Contests
At Hooked On Golf Blog I’m running a comment contest. The best comment for the month will be the winner. And with the latest “events” in the golf world there should be plenty of material to comment on.
At The Golf Space, which is like a Facebook for golfers, we have a feature called “Karma.” Every person’s profile has a thumbs up and thumbs down you can click on to vote for them. It is like the “like” button on Facebook only you can “dislike” spammers or boneheads too. We have monthly and yearly Karma prizes. So the person with the highest Karma rating at the end of December wins a bottle of Annika.
If you just want to pick up a bottle now as a golf Christmas gift you can pick it up on Annika’s site or at The Golf Space SHOP.
Uh, this is interesting. The lawyer for Rachel Uchitel has canceled the scheduled press conference today due to unforeseen circumstances. Uchitel’s attorney Gloria Allred says there will be no more discussion on the matter.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the news conference scheduled for today is canceled. There will be no further statements on this matter.
Any guesses what the unforeseen circumstances are? Did Rachel get a hangnail? Bad hair day? Is she getting her lips enhanced? Perhaps some “event” transpired which helped them decide they were done talking?
I just got a nice package in the mail yesterday. It was my “member benefits” package from the USGA (United States Golf Association) for signing up for the 2010 season. This membership is just about the biggest no-brainer in golf.
Included in even the most basic membership, with is $15, is the following:
- USGA Member Bag Tag
- Rules of Golf Book
- Member card
- 2010 US OPEN Pebble Beach Golf Hat
- US OPEN program
- Discounts on golf
- USGA Newsletter
There are multiple membership levels which can be found here.
Two crooks (alleged) were busted for selling Titleist ProV1 golf balls for cheap, but never delivering the product. They also would set up accounts, purchase golf balls from shops and never pay for them. Total scammed was around $400,000.
ProV1’s aren’t cheap. If some company says they can sell you a brand new dozen of them for $25, back away from your wallet. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Full press release below.
DISCUSS THE TIGER SITUATION WITH OTHER GOLFERS
I invite you to join a forum discussion about Tiger Woods’ affairs over at Hooked On Golf Blog’s sisters site, The Golf Space. I’d like to get the opinions of fans, haters and whoever else. What do you think this will mean for Tiger, golf, next year, Tiger’s quest to overcome Jack Nicklaus’ major record etc. What does this mean to you as a fan?
