After the embarrassment of the long list of Tiger’s unfaithful trists became public fodder for jeers and jokes, Tiger’s game suffered. A long two year decline where a lost of mojo was obvious. Some thought he was done - never to be the master of the game again.

But those who gave up on Tiger were wrong. Turning things around late last year, Tiger has wone 3 PGA tour events in 2013 and is now back on top. Some are crediting Sean Foley for the return. But I have another theory. Clearly Tiger plays well when he’s got the love of a very beautiful, very blonde, good woman. Yes, I’m suggesting that now that Tiger has Lindsay Vonn in his life, her influence has provided that little ’something extra’ that his game needed.

BTW, is it me or does anyone else think that Lindsay looks amazingly like Elin? OK not like twins but cousins? Just sayin’

Is Sergio Garcia trying to start a new trend? Probably not but the tree climbing skills were only secondary to the masterful shot he made while up in the tree. One neat swing and the ball arches up and over a huge tree branch, over the rough and onto the middle of the fairway.

Amazing!

It’s cheap and so may not be the golf accessory you first think of when considering what to get for a golf loving friend. But don’t dismiss the golf towel too quickly. Golf towels dry sweaty hands which is key to getting a good grip on your club as well as helping to keep your club grips in top notch condition. Moreover, accidently spill something on yourself while you gaze at the pretty young beverage gal (you know you do) or need to clean up a club head and the golf towel is there to make things right.

Golf towels come in a wide array of colors and patterns too. The Golf Collection offers a numer of towels of varied quality at rock bottom prices. Check out our full display of golf towels or shop for other gift ideas here.

It’s tax day and that’s the last day we have to file for 2008. This year I’m getting a tax refund and I’m trying to decide what to spend my refund monies on. I’m pretty sure I’m going to finally invest in a metal golf organizer that will hold my bag of clubs, shoes and just about everything else I need for the game neatly and out of the car trunk.

Another great golf accessory I like is the golf ball sweet spot finder. This is a simple gadget but can really help your putting.

And, of course I’ll need some new golf towels for the year. I like to get a couple of the premium golf towels because they really soak up the sweat. And for the small price that I end up paying, I can get a number of these fine towels so I can always have a clean towel for

With the emphasis on the environment and doing everything we can to thwart global warming, it’s often the little things that can make a really big difference. For example, switch out an electronic or gas powered golf cart for a golf push or pull cart. These don’t pollute the air and actually get you to expend a few more calories during a pleasant round of golf.

I like the Clicgear push cart personally. It’s not a cheap cart but it’s construction is super sturdy and it has so many amenities I’ll not go into all of them here now. Frankly it would make an awesome Father’s day golf gift for any deserving Dad.

For those of us who live in northern climates, keeping our golf game from deteriorating during the winter months is tough. Many of us have no chance of a round from January through March which not only is a bummer, it hurts our game.

This year is different though. I received an Optishot golf simulator for Christmas and could not be more pleased. This easily hooks up to my laptop and I can swing away and see how I’m doing. The only drawback is that you need an 8′ x 8′ amount of space (more or less) to be secure in swinging your club. This is one of several new golf practice aids and equipment I’m investing in during the new year.

The two times during the year when I really think about all the blessings in my life are Thanksgiving and New Years. While many folks are focused on resolutions for the new year, I prefer to think first of all the things I accomplished by myself and with the help of others over the year that has just been put to bed. Then I think about what I’d like to accomplish for the New Year.

The great plains is getting slammed with its first bout of winter. Here in Nebraska the skies are gray and the north wind is blowing and we’ll not get out of the 30’s today. Cold and miserable but at least there is no snow.

Yesterday the news reported that parts of South Dakota received snow falls in excess of 40 inches. Yup you read that right, EXCESS of 40 INCHES. Good golly that’s a whole lot of snow.

You’ve got to wonder if winter starts out this forcefully, where will it end? I guess we’ll have to see. Meanwhile you can bet there isn’t a lot of golf getting played in the upper Plains states this weekend.
