Here’s your chance to ask Tiger Woods a question. Five minutes ago Tiger mentioned that he was on his way to Torrey Pines and was going to answer some questions on Twitter.
I sent in a question. Why not? We’ll see if I get an answer.
Ian Poulter is giving Tiger a bunch of grief on there, asking him to join in the funny banter between himself, Lee Westwood, Rory McIlroy and the other super golf tweeters.
I wonder if Tiger will take the bait?
I created a Twitter list containing Poulter, Westwood and Tiger so you can follow just their conversation: http://bit.ly/eCz0a9
Now that my arm is in a sling, I’m sitting here on my couch looking out the window at the green grass wishing I could play golf. Normally the local courses would be closed right now, but we’ve had some warm weather and they’re open. I guess the closest I can get mentally to playing, is reliving a great round of golf I had a few weeks ago. That round featured the Bridgestone xFIXx golf ball.
About the xFIXx
The Bridgestone xFIXx ball is designed for “recreational golfers.” My interpretation of that is a golfer who plays occasionally and is about an 18 handicap. So perhaps it isn’t the best ball for me, a low handicap who plays 100+ times per year. Or is it?

If you aren’t watching the Bob Hope, now would be a good time to tune in. A three man playoff is underway.
Jhonattan Vegas could have won the tournament with a par on the par-5 18th, but made bogey via a 3-putt.
Bill Haas and Gary Woodland round out the playoff.
After winning in Abu Dhabi at the HSBC Championship, Martin Kaymer leapfrogged Tiger Woods to #2 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Tiger officially drops to #3.
Kaymer lapped the field by eight shots at -24. The closest competitor was Rory McIlroy at -16. Rounding out the top four were Retief Goosen and Graeme McDowell. That is a heck of a top four. The PGA Tour doesn’t have that kind of firepower playing this week.
World Golf Ranking Needs Tweaking?
I’ve posted this before and I’ll post it again. I still find it amazing that Tiger hasn’t won a tournament since 2009 and he’s still ranked in the top five. And before you comment, yes I know he built up a huge lead in the points…
Here is the last of my batch of new photos from my local TalorMade rep Phil. Thanks Phil. See you this week at the PGA Show.
Below is a shot of the new TaylorMade MC forged irons which will be coming out in March 2011. TM calls this club design a “muscle-cavityback-blade.”
