Annika Sorenstam continued her quest for the women’s grand slam by shooting an even par 71 today at the US Women’s Open. She’s 2 shots behind Angela Stanford. There has been a weather delay so some players have yet to finish round one.
Annika is right in the mix, in position to continue her historic run. And according to the rumor mill, Annika may have a new employer soon.
My buddy BogeyMan has posted an article about a possible takeover bid of Callaway Golf.
Click here to read the article.
He mentions that Callaway is the nation’s largest golf manufacturer. Is this the case? This has made me wonder just who the top 5 or 10 golf manufacturers are in sequence.
I thought Titleist was the largest. Starting google search…
Now that Michael Campbell is the US Open champ, I’ve found his official web site!
Campbell has some good stuff there including news, results, schedule, photos and his own clothing line.
Check it out at: http://www.cambogolf.com/
Check back June 16? It’s June 21 now….
A while back I posted that the US Open would be blogging this year. Here is the link to their blog.
I was pessimistic that they’d be able to put a decent “blog” together. My pessimism proved to be warranted.
I could call their blog a complete failure, but they would have to actually try blogging in order to fail at it. So this looks like they were just trying to jump on that old buzzword blog bandwagon I mentioned before.
OK USGA boys, next time you want to do a blog why don’t you hire me to do it? Hell, you don’t even have to “hire” me. Just bring me in next time, give me a hotel room, some grub and an 802.11b wireless network to latch onto and I’m good to go.
If not me perhaps any of the select golf bloggers that can be found in my golf blogroll like Bogeyman, Rich from EatGolf, Jay Flemma, Golf Blogger etc. They would all do a bang up job…
By the way, I like how they called it a “web blog.” Any bonehead knows that “blog” is short for “web log.” So they were actually doing a “web web log.”
UPDATE
iacas points out that they did blog and there was some interesting stuff there. So where is it? I wonder why blog and then get rid of it and put back the “check back soon” message.
BogeyMan pointed out there may have been TWO different URL locations…. But the other location http://blog.usopen.com/index.htm only has info on the US Women’s Open now. Once again, why nuke the entries?
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE!
Here’s a 3rd url: http://www.usopen.com/news/blog.html Seems the entries are there so they didn’t nuke them after all. So a while back I find a link to the original blog locale, and they changed it. I bookmarked it, checked it regularly and nada. Just great. And they just left that locale and notice there (I bet they just completely forgot about it). They must have changed their mind about the locale while setting it up and neglected to put redirect or a link to the new one. Meanwhile I’m stuck there on the old one wondering where the entries are 🙁
OK credit where it is due, they DID “web web log.”
BogeyMan hits this point better than me, check it out.
I’ve recently added a “coming soon” page to the site. Pages within this site are not like normal blog posts. They are not related to time or post order. They are a constant. These pages are in the Internal Links category at the top left.
Coming soon will have what I’m working on. Currently I’m working on a few reviews: the new TaylorMade r5 TP driver and r7 TP fairway wood, the Ogio Grom golf bag, PeakVision sunglasses, the new Callaway HX Tour 56 ball and more. You can always click the coming soon link to see what the future holds here.
Of course tons of other golf nuggets will appear on a daily basis that won’t be on the coming soon page…
