Fantasy Golf Picks For The Players Championship
Well this week for my fantasy golf picks I had a simple system stick with the same picks from the Wachovia Championship , I had a good week last week other than picking the winner I still made some good Fantasy dollars. So how did I do after the cut well not bad but not great.
Mickelson, Phil- 70-73- (-1)
Singh, Vijay - 75-73-(MC)
Ogilvy, Geoff - 77-75-(MC)
Furyk, Jim 74-72- (+2)
Scott, Adam 75-71-(+2)
Cink, Stewart - 71-75 -(+2)
Parnevik, Jesper - 72-74- (+2)
So 5 of my 7 guys made it through to the weekend, we'll see how the scoring is on the weekend it looks like the course will continue to play tough with lots of wind and hard greens.

Charley Hoffman Tosses Putter In Water At #13 Players Championship
Charley Hoffman was having a bad round and it got even worse when he missed a 20-inch putt on #13 during the 2nd Round of The Players Championship and decided to toss his putter into the adjacent water. We`ve all been there right during a bad round and wanted to do the same thing Charley did, most of us hold back because dammit putters aren`t cheap. I`m thinking Charley probably wishes he didn`t throw his putter in but a spur of the moment decision and some lady is fishing it out a few minutes later and is was a Scotty Cameron. Fans of Scotty Cameron will not be happy as I`m sure Scotty himself.
"I had thoughts of diving in front of it," caddie Miguel Rivera said. "I did actually think about going in, but the water looked a little funky."
Hoffman declined comment after he shot 11-over 83 in the second round and badly missed the cut at 15 over. He was 7 over when he reached the par-3 13th and needed a few birdies to make it to the weekend.

Forty And Needing A GPS System
I recently turned 40 and you wouldn't believe what my wife and kids are thinking of getting me. You see I have this habit lately of getting lost. I don't know whether it's because I just turned forty (I’ll never admit it's that) or my mind is a little frazzled lately with the addition of new baby boy. It really has become an epidemic. I've even got lost en route to a few local golf courses that I haven't played in awhile, luckily my playing partners are understanding. Well they've been looking at purchasing a GPS system I guess they figure with one of these units I'll never get lost again but they're being thrifty and are looking for a good deal.
Well it looks like their search is finally over. They found a great deal at Buy.com. They presently have advertised in their weekly deals a nice Magellan Maestro 4250 Portable GPS System. This refurbished GPS system comes with 4.3" wide-format color touch screen and even a voice command feature. So when I have it in my van I can get it to perform functions just by my voice commands. Very good feature when it comes to the safety of my family. The Magellan GPS System also has built in maps of the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada so it can be taken almost anywhere. A great tool for going on those long summer vacations. You'll never get lost again with over 6 million pre-programmed points of interest and an integrated AAA TourBook guide. My wife's even talking about taking more vacation time. I'm just happy I won't be late for another tee off time. I've saved the best for last this GPS system is listed at $249.99 and Buy.com will ship it to you free. Another great deal from Buy.com.

Rest, Relaxation And Some Golf
My buddies and I are planning a little summer golf outing in Quebec this year outside of the Mont Tremblant area. We'll be playing Le Geant and the Le Diable, most of us for the first time. Most of us have kids so we're getting away for a little rest and relaxation. We'll be staying in a great place called Blueberry Lake Resort which is just a short drive north of Mont Tremblant. It's great to stay at a place like this as we really feel we've left the city for a relaxing country experience at Blueberry Lake. The modern log home is amazing and is a home I'd love to build for myself. They have a great restaurant on site so you don't have to head into Mont Tremblant if you don't want to. If your thinking about heading to Mont Tremblant Canada try the Blueberry Resort you won't be disappointed.
Jesper Parnevik 17th Wachovia 2008 4th Round
You have to love back to back weeks with some great par 3s, last week it was the 17th at the Wachovia Championship this week it's the 17th at the Players Championship. Here's some action from last weeks tournament. Jesper Parnevik on the tough 17th hole at the 2008 Wachovia Championship.
Canadian DeCorso Wins On Nationwide Tour
It was great to see Ontario native Bryan DeCorso became the 11th Canadian to win on the Nationwide Tour over the weekend when he won the South Georgia Classic this past Sunday. Canadians as a whole have won 17 times on the Nationwide Tour. That's second only to Australia's 36 wins among international players.
Bryan DeCorso shot a three-under 69 on Sunday to win the South Georgia Classic by four shots. DeCorso claimed his first Nationwide Tour victory at 14-under 274, breaking by four shots the tournament scoring record set by John Kimbell in the first year of the event last season. He was close the week earlier with a tie for fourth.
"I don't know if there was ever a monkey on my back, because this is my first full year on the Nationwide Tour, but I've been a pro for a long time. I've dreamed of playing on the PGA Tour, and now I'm that much closer," said DeCorso, who earned $112,500 for the win and moved into fourth place on the money list.

Camillo Villegas Is Hungry For First Win But He's Still Waiting
So Anthony Kim gets his first PGA Tour win last week in his second PGA Tour season. Pretty damn good stuff. You have to figure a guy like Camillo Villegas is just beside himself thinking I should have a PGA Tour win by now but he just hasn't strung 4 rounds together to get a win. He turned pro in 2004 and I'm sure it will come someday. Check out this video from last weeks Wachovia Championship of Camillo talking about winning.

A Helpful Resource For Your Blog
When you have a website or blog your always looking at ways to improve your site. I spend alot of time sifting through alot of different websites out there that have there opinions on web development and web design and marketing. Some are good resources some not so good I've integrated many on this blog and some of my other websites. The other day I stumbled upon Stylish Design and they're one of the good ones . They really seem to have a good eye on the world of Web Designing. I especially like there insight when it comes to Google and it's PageRank system and there insight into transforming a dynamic page into a SEO friendly web page good for anyone that interested in this concept. There mix of web marketing, web development and design topics is great because all three are so important in a successful site. You can just focus on one area with out the other two. Right now I'm reading about how to create a successful AdWord campaign good stuff for a newbie or someone who just why need a refresher. Check it out.

MacGregor MT Series Complimentary Demo Club Opportunity
Tell me MacGregor Golf isn't one of the more progressive golf companies out there for initiating a great Demo Club Opportunity. It was recently posted on GolfWRX.com so take advantage of this deal if your looking at a new set of irons or just want to demo one of there new offerings. I've got my 7 iron coming in a few weeks and I'll be doing a review of it here so stay tuned.
Hello Everyone,
This is Reid Gorman from MacGregor Golf. As we ramp up the 2008 golf season I'd like to thank everyone for their positive comments and feedback about our new MT Series product line...see this link if you haven't already (http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=120023). I've been told "unofficially" that this is one of the longest running and most active threads ever on GolfWRX.com. For those of you involved with this ongoing discussion...it has truly been a pleasure interacting with you over the past few months. For those of you that haven't seen it, here are a few thoughts about what today's MacGregor is all about.
MacGregor Golf is a 110 year old "brand new" company now under the ownership and direction of Greg Norman. In 2008 MacGregor has launched a very thorough new lineup of MT branded products. True to the roots of the MacGregor brand, all new MT products follow the "Modern Classic" design premise. What does this mean? Very simple...you can trust MacGregor to produce equipment that's as pleasing to the eye as it is to the end results. Regardless of your skill level, MacGregor now offers tour-inspired shapes that deploy relevant technology to help your game. In other words, you don't have to trade off aesthetics for performance.
Enough of the sales pitch about us! We prefer to let our product do the talking. That being said, for anyone in the market for new irons we'd be thrilled to send you a complimentary demo club (7-iron) for your personal evaluation. Just take a look at the new iron lineup here (http://www.macgregorgolf.com/irons.asp). The MT Series of irons covers the spectrum of many skill levels...from the low handicap "forged" golfer (MT-Pro) to golfers that need the ultimate in forgiveness (MT-OS CupFace irons...which includes Senior and Ladies versions). All of these irons have been crafted with classic shapes and clean lines, regardless of the player target. Once you've identified your model of interest, send me an e-mail here (rgorman@macgregorgolf.com) with which MT Series model you'd like to evaluate. My Customer Service team will respond back to you within a day or two to ensure that we have all your pertinent details.
If you love the product as much as we're confident you will…just walk into your local golf shop with your demo club and show them what you want to order. Once you've completed your trial, just pass on the demo club to some friends, drop it off to your local PGA Professional or donate it to Junior Golf.
Again, thanks for all of the positive dialogue. For those of you that have recently purchased MT Series products, thank you! For everyone else that we'll hear from shortly on this offer, we look forward to working with you.
Take care,
Reid Gorman

Au Natural
Don't you hate when you get a certain product and it says all natural on it but when you do further investigation it really isn't. So many things today are all natural from natural baby products, natural skin care products like natural acne treatments to natural vitamins and supplements it's sometimes important to do a little investigation to make sure things are all natural there are some great resources at Health Canada if you have any concerns I know I've gone to there website for information.
