The erectile dysfunction comments are rolling in…

In a recent post I mentioned opening up comments without registration. It only took about 24 hours for the erectile dysfunction spam comments to start rolling in. The registration process has been turned back on. Sorry. Listen up though! It’s not that hard. You only have to register once then you can comment all you want.

I’m searching for a plug-in which will have an image verification for comments instead of registration.


Now THAT is a good birthday present

I had a little party at my place last night. I had a few of my golf buddies and a few of my musician buddies over for some munchies and “frosty beverages.” I have bit of a headache and I hope it goes away by 10:20a.m.. 10:20 is my tee time today.

My good pal Jim brought me a very nice birthday present (box of ProV1’s). THAT is what I call a good birthday present. I had to ask him if it was OK to use his birthday present to me as a tool to win bets against him on the golf course and he said “take your best shot.” Sunday pal, Sunday.

The 19th hole today

After my round I’m heading straight up the road to Rice/Eccles Stadium to see my beloved University of Utah Utes play San Diego State in football. After last year’s BCS busting 12-0 season and a complete obliteration of Pittsburgh in the Fiesta Bowl, this year’s 3-3 record is a little hard to swallow.

I started a blog about Utah sports so check it out if you are really bored: The Ute Blog.


New Links Page Under Construcion

Pardon my dust during construction/remodeling:

You may notice some strange formatting in the right column. The links section has been growing and I intend to make it MUCH bigger. It will no longer reasonably fit in that right column. So I’m working on a NEW links page which will have many many more links! (GolfDash is my idol in that category!).

The large cells containing all the links and blogroll in the right column are now gone. They’ve been replaced by one cell/link to the Hooked On Golf Blog Links Section!

The links page is functional but under construction. If you have any formatting suggestions or comments feel free to let me know.


The Pundits Have Spoken

The latest HOG poll is closed.

Where do you buy your golf gear?

Golf Store 37%
ebay 20%
Anywhere I Can 17%
Sporting Goods Store 13%
Course Pro Shop 3%
Online reseller 3%
Other 3%

The majority of you shop at a “golf store” for your gear and ebay was a distant second. Surprisingly, online was way down the list.

The new poll is a simple one: What is your handicap?

I’ve casted my vote: 2 and going up. 🙂


And we’re back

If you tried to get your HOG fix late last night you may have run into some problems. As it turns out my server blew a power supply. Thank goodness it was that and not a hack.

In other site news I’ve had some, shall we say “whining” about the comments setup here from some. In order to prevent spam I had implemented a process where you had to register before you commented. I’ve made it easier for comments now by not requiring registration. BUT if I start getting the dreaded Viagra comments I’ll have that sucker back the way it was before you can say “erectile dysfunction.”
