Okay this has taken some time but I’ve had a change of heart about Rickie Fowler. When Fowler first hit the PGA Tour it seemed like the only notable thing about him was his orange jumpsuit, or what I like to call the “traffic cone” apparel script. Here it is below.

After this year’s Masters though I’ve changed my tune about Fowler. First I watched some of the pre-Masters interviews and was impressed. Then I saw Rickie on Thursday morning at the ceremonial tee shot, which was just Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. This was the first time Arnold Palmer was missing following his passing. In my opinion, a historic moment in golf. There may have been, but I didn’t see any other tour players who made the effort to attend that ceremony.
At that point in time I realized something. Rickie gets it.
During the Masters he played very well and ended up in the 2nd to last group, paired with Jordan Spieth. Rickie was at the top of the leaderboard even during the final round, before Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia separated from the field.
So this is an official HOG-style hats off to Rickie Fowler. Looking forward to his first major win. Hopefully it comes before 73 attempts unlike Sergio’s did.
I’ve just launched a new search and search results page here at Hooked on Golf Blog. I used to have a Google site search but I’m not too thrilled with how it worked, and despite having pages of results, the page wouldn’t scroll.
So I’ve put in my own search which is on a look-and-feel level with the rest of the site theme. Try it out. The search field is usually in the upper right of each page.
Here are some fun search terms to punch in (example results for articles featuring “big boobs” in image below):
Masters
Big Boobs
April Fool
WAGS
Holly Saunders
T&A
Tiger Woods
I’m going to be sporting some proper threads for my apparel scripting today (if you don’t know what apparel scripting is, use the search function here). The latest in my golf apparel review queue is the Devereux Cameron Golf Polo.

The photo doesn’t really do it justice. The colors and look are much better in person. Maybe I’ll post a selfie later today. That’s what the young kids do these days.
I’ll be putting this golf polo to the test and posting a full review soon, so stay tuned.

I dislike wearing shoes and socks when it’s hot here in the desert. My shoe-less, sock-less après golf footwear scripting looks to be solid for this summer, thanks to ahhSoles. “aahSoles?” I see what you did there, LOL.
It’s a little too cold at the moment to think about flip flops. The big snow we got over the weekend has melted though, and I hope to be golfing later this week. Soon here in northern Utah it will be hot, and I normally like to air out the feet after walking 18 holes.
Stay tuned for my aahSoles review soon.
I’m thrilled to have some new Tattoo Golf apparel to review. Tattoo Golf and HOG to back a long time. We’ve become good friends. And why shouldn’t we? We both have rock & roll attitudes, love golf, and love skulls.
I have a pair of shorts to review (preview post soon) and this handsome Plaid Series Performance Polo. Check it out.
I just tried the polo on for the first time tonight. It’s smooth as silk. I can’t wait to put it in play this week, if the snow melts.
Check out the coolest inside collar in the world:
That’s a case of “good ring around the collar.”
Stay tuned for my Tattoo Golf Plaid Series Performance Golf Polo review soon.
