Early this morning I hear the sound of a diesel engine running in the parking lot across the street. It was running all morning. That engine was in the bus in the pic on the left. Who’s buss is it? REO Speedwagon’s road crew. They’re in town to do a gig and the crew apparently golfs. That singer for REO Speedwagon sure had a thing for his R’s. “Forrrreverrrrrr” I still remember…
9:30pm
The pic on the right was taken about 12 hours later in front of #3 tee. It seems some aholes where messing around with carts and apparently drove on a green before driving the cart in the canal. The driver of the cart ran off but his friend was busted by the cops. The maintenance crew had to come down at 9:30pm with a tractor to pull the cart out of the canal.

Uncharted 3 system requirements. The famous Titleist NXT critic Ian MacAllister has accepted my request for an interview:
Tony,
I welcome the opportunity and thank you for your quick response. I look forward to chatting about golf, GDAD, the abolition of the NXT and all things Ian.
Cheers!
Ian
I plan to give Ian 5-10 questions about technology, golf, NXT’s, living in his mother’s basement or whatever. I’m asking YOU to comment in questions for Ian. I’ll pick the best ones and submit them.

Wow is Mark O’Meara a cool cat. I loved it back in 1998 when he won The Masters AND the British Open Championship. Megastat for mac. He’s also known for being one of Tiger Woods’ best friends. I met him today, along with a few other famous golfers at the Champions Challenge.
Mark was kind enough to sign my Masters flag and an Augusta National score card I had from my “Masters shrine.” Mark was very nice to talk to and was very cool to my two young kids I had with me. He gave each of them an autographed golf glove.

Mark was playing with the 2nd richest guy in Utah, a billionaire. I guess if I want to play with famous players I need to make a few more bucks off this blog. The billionaire guy bought my kids snickers bars… Hey man, how ’bout a little something for me too?
Below is a video of Mark’s driver swing. He hit his Titleist driver deep down this fairway and shaped the shot perfectly with the curve of the dogleg. I’ve always liked his swing, especially his move down low, right after contact.
When a gallery member said “nice shot” Mark replied, “It’s an easy shot on Monday.”

I’m spending a good portion of the day today at Thanksgiving Point, a golf course designed by Johnny Miller. The course is insanely long at over 7700 yards. The Champions Challenge golf tournament is today and tomorrow. I’ve attended before and met some big golfers like Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, Mike Weir, Jim Furyk, Craig Stadler, Hale Irwin and many others.
I’m hoping to get a couple more autographs for my Masters autograph flag. The two I’m after are Craig Stadler and Mark O’Meara.
I should have a bunch of photos of players and their gear, and also some player swing videos too.
A report will follow.

Ian MacAllister, the man who is singlehandedly leading the crusade against the “wretched NXT golf ball” has been reading Hooked On Golf Blog. He’s apparently been lurking for a while, reading many of my posts about the new high tech equipment which, in his opinion, is ruining the game of golf.
He chimed in with a comment on my recent post about his new site at www.nxtube.com:
Ian’s Comment
Dear Mr. Korologos,
Dear Mr. Korologos,
I’d like to thank you very much for publicizing GDAD’s efforts to abolish the vile NXT Tour and NXT Extreme golf balls. However, I must take exception with your insinuation that my NXTube.com interweb site is nothing more than a front for my arch-enemies in the Titleist Marketing department. Forgive my bluntness, Mr. Korologos, but (as long as we’re all making accusations) I noticed that your little hookedongolfblog enterprise has a decidedly pro-technology bent. I’ve noticed that laser putter alignment systems and space-age polymer training aids leave you giddy as a schoolgirl. But you offer nary a single review of a finely-crafted persimmon wood or trusty niblick. For shame! I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear that the black-hearted hedonists at Titleist are funding your dark hookedongolf endeavors themselves!! How’s the weather down there in the Black Script pocket, Tony? I’ll bet that NXT shrine you’ve erected in your living room is quite lovely. I’s all so marvelous for you isn’t it ? Helping people to attain that which should remain forever out of reach. Having fun destroying golf, are ye? The thought of you makes me physically ill!
Of course, I could be over-reacting in which case I humbly recant. Thanks again for the (mostly) positive feedback (excepting, of course, your heretofore-mentioned libelous inaccuracies). So in closing, allow me to assure you that my quest is real and my intentions pure. Join my crusade! Down with NXT! Ban the yellow and black!
Good day!

I’ve requested an interview with Mr. MacAllister
Since reading Ian’s comment I’ve contacted him. I’m asking if he’ll be willing to do a small online interview. I’m giving him the opportunity to speak his peace and let the HOG readers come to their own conclusions about Ian’s opinions.
We’ll see if Ian has the balls to respond (pun intended).
