Entertaining yourself on a rainy weekend

October 1, 2011 /

As we head into October, it’s becoming tougher to get those golf rounds in as we face more rainy days and rough weather. Pretty soon many of us will have the clubs packed up and will be dealing with snow.

Of course, that’s the time to start planning your golf trip. There are so many options out there, but for most guys you want other entertainment to go along with your golf activities, while others want something more relaxing. One of the most common activities includes gambling, so Las Vegas is a popular destination.

Of course, you’ll have to kill time now on the weekends while you wait for that trip. Fortunately, the NFL is back and you have college football as well. You can also entertain yourself on the web with sites like CasinoTopLists.com which points out sites where you don’t have to download software to play.

It’s a whole new game in the golf world

August 17, 2011 /

We seem to be entering into a new era in golf, and that will affect everyone from the casual fan to tournament sponsors to golf betters in Vegas. Tiger Woods has dominated the game of golf for so long that many people are accustomed to the notion of one dominant player being chased by everyone else in the field. Tiger Woods is an international icon, and his involvement in a tournament boosted ratings and affected sponsorships. Many of the other golf pros were also intimidated by his game.

All of that seems to be changing. It had to change some time – every athlete starts to get older and sees his skills decline. But with Tiger we’ve seen a stunning series of events that have knocked him off his perch.

If you like to bet on golf you need to get used to this “new normal.” Recently, you had a young kid, Rory McIroy, win the US Open after blowing The Masters. Then you had a guy like Darren Clarke win the British Open. Everything is changing, so there’s much more uncertainty. TV ratings are down, but for the golf purists this might be more interesting.

Caddie Steve Williams – The Best Week of His Life

August 8, 2011 /

It seems like quite a bit of hyperbole, but caddy Steve Williams was pretty happy after Adam Scott’s victory at Firestone. After his well-publicized breakup with Tiger Woods, many have interpreted his comments as a shot at Tiger.

UPDATE: Williams is getting hammered for his self-centered comments.

Will the golf summit help Obama and Boehner strike a deal?

June 20, 2011 /

Most businesspeople understand the importance of golf and other activities in building a relationship that can be helpful in business. This applies to politics as well, as President Obama invited Speaker John Boehner to play a round of golf with the idea of forging a better relationship. The two men are on opposite sides of some intense political battles, but hopefully they got to know each other a little better after what many are calling the “golf summit.”
