Mike Weir, embarrassed after biggest duck-hook ever, stares down driver like it's faulty. It's reminiscent of a chop blaming his hackiness on his equipment. "It went like that."

Satire Saturday - Hair growth drug targets Jim Furyk as face of wealthy young balds
Today Jim Furyk announced that Propecia will join Srixon and Exelon as official sponsors for the ’08 PGA tour season.
The third ranked golfer in the world said he was excited about the new relationship with Propecia. "At first I wasn't very thrilled that I was being targeted by male pattern baldenss, or, I mean, by propecia for male pattern baldness," said Furyk. "But now that I've finally just accepted it it's made my life a lot easier." The deal will require the construction of a specialized hat for Furyk, which will be branded in the specific areas that male pattern baldness occurs (vertex area of the head and the lateral sides of the forehead).
A spokesman at Merck, the pharmaceutical company that has the rights to the Propecia trademark, said they have a comprehensive program for Furyk and the trademark. “We have a whole system worked out to get Propecia involved in Jim’s life,” said the spokesperson.
In addition to displaying the name brand on the pattern baldness areas of his hat during tournament play, they have worked the deal so Jim will receive a daily dose of 4mg (as opposed to the usually prescribed 1mg) to “show off the drug’s capabilities,” according to the spokesperson.
About targeting Jim Furyk, the Merck spokesman said “Lets face it … most golfers are older males, and older males struggle with balding. Jim is the perfect person to represent Propecia. Besides being one of the winningist players, he might also be the baldingist player on the PGA Tour.”
Initially Furyk was all for Merck’s total life plan. In fact, Furyk mentioned his personal confidence becomes dashed on the rare occasions he is seen hat removed. His only reluctance appeared when he heard claims that Propecia was known to cause erectile dysfunction. His mind was put at ease when he heard Merck's official response to the claims. According to the pharmaceutical giant, the underperforming men in the tests "probably couldn’t achieve an erection anyway."

Movie Monday - Tiger Waits on a Fumbling Patraig Harrington
Tiger gives Padraig Harrington the classic, "Hurry the f*ck up pose" as Padi and his caddy frantically fumble around taking a drop near the lateral hazard. Padi, along with Rory Sabbatini's bitchass, who withdrew for personal reasons (he was hacking) , might find their invitation to next year's Target World Challenge lost in the mail...

Green Blazer Voted Coolest New Golf Blogger
The Hooked on Golf Blog recently voted thegreenblazer.blogspot.com to be the coolest new golf blog of 2007.
Thanks for the article, and some props back to you, HOG, for your foresight in those matters of URL claim staking. Unfortunately one of G Blaze's Arch Enemies has already snatched the aforementioned URL, no doubt tipped off by the notoriety of your published observation. You have some villains in your readership, HOG; but no worries, The Green Blazer understands it's nothing personal. Alas, in a world where superheroes exist, there will always be supervillains trying to thwart them.
Nonetheless it's to no matter, as The Green Blazer had something more apt and poignant already pre-registered at the time of the unsolicited yet much appreciated recognition from "about the fourth golf blog ever created," as self-proclaimed in the generous and well-crafted journaling.
Thanks, hookedongolfblog, for your recognition. Like Steve Stricker winning, "comeback player of the year" twice consecutive, The Green Blazer will be looking forward to your vote for coolest new golf blog of 2008 as well.

Introducing Satire Saturday
Woods' Self Sufficiency Drives Swing Coach Into Depression
It has been reported that Hank Haney, swing coach of Tiger Woods, has slipped into a severe state of depression over the last few months. Woods has backed off his time spent with Haney this off-season, apparently causing an emotional breakdown in the usually stable Haney.
“It’s just not fair,” said a sobbing Haney in a recent interview. “I treat him so good; why do we need to take these breaks?”
Woods said he was surprised to hear his swing coach was taking the separation that seriously. “I thought we had an understanding that this was just a break,” he said.
This coming from a number one golfer who is no stranger to relationship problems. Who can forget the superstar's separation from world-renown instructor Butch Harmon, a train wreck that finished about as smooth as the mud-packed face of a hacker's PureSpin "Diamond Faced" sand wedge. Butch was able to dampen the sting by acquiring Phil Mickelson, the world's number two, but apparently the number two isn't big enough to fill the void Tiger left. Harmon himself even said “The empty space never gets filled when you lose the precious, or, I mean, something that precious.”
According to Woods, the relationship with Haney was growing stagnant and a little space this off-season was needed. "As I've said, this is just a break," reiterated Woods. "It's not him, it's me."
This should be good timing for Haney, whose ailing wife is in need of nurturing at this time, but Haney seemed to feel being on the range with Woods was more important. "My wife, she's family, but not as much as Tiger has become my family. And nothing's more important than family ... Even if he doesn't always realize it."
Woods has made it clear on several occasions that Haney was still his teacher. Haney's paints a different picture, however, suspecting Woods may have been seeing another swing coach prior to requesting the separation. Woods called the allegations “Ridiculous.”

Trump will Build the World’s Greatest Golf Course Somewhere Other than Aberdeen
Donald Trump’s plot for world domination took a step backward yesterday as his proposal to build the world’s greatest golf course (along with 1500 homes and a hotel) was shut down by members of the infrastructure committee. The vote went seven for the proposal and seven against, but committee chairman Martin Ford scored in overtime by using his casting vote to reject the bid. Many members of the community in favor of big business development in environmentally safe areas were outraged by the decision. One resident went so far as to assault a liberal councilor who opposed the project. Ms. Storr described the incident by overusing the term “hurl abuse.”
"I heard a banging on the door and when I opened it there was a woman standing there who proceeded to hurl abuse at me.
"She was very angry it had been refused and continued hurling abuse at me.
"I asked her who she was and if she would moderate her language. She told me who she was, but she did not moderate her language. She continued hurling abuse at me.”
When the abuse hurler became annoyed by Storr’s smugness, she hurled even more abuse by cursing at Storr and shoving her. The only hurl abuse the Green Blazer sees is himself wanting to hurl after hearing Storr's abuse of the term.

Satire - Even Tommy Armour III won’t sign with Tommy Armour
Tommy Armour Golf's notoriety has been on a gradual downslide since the days the 845 was a tour favorite. It's gotten so bad that the brand can't even sign Tommy Armour himself. After the release of the Hywood, the equipment company decided to make one last ditch effort to sign their main man. Although the deal guaranteed him nearly double what he gets now, TAIII didn't take the bait. He said his game is somewhat unstable as it is, and using second-rate equipment may make it worse. When the equipment company pointed out that the deal wouldn't require TAIII to use Armour equipment, just where the hat, TAIII responded by saying, "None the less...I still don't want to be associated with that sort of underperformance." He also mentioned that it doesn't make sense selling out to a lesser quality company for more money at this point in his career.
Bravo to Tommy Armour for leading the stand against unsatisfactory equipment. He receives the Green Blazer Keepin it Real Award '07

Dick Johnson Thrusts His Way to Victory
Despite not being the longest, Dick Johnson definitely had the best stroke at the Nationwide Tour Championship last weekend as he rhythmically pounded the field at the Barona Creek Golf Club.
Stamina intact, Johnson wasn’t spent after a quadruple bogey on Saturday, and Dick continued to get it in the hole under par as he rode the leaderboard on top, giving a big "In your face," to anyone who ever doubted the larger-than-life Johnson.
According to a former caddy and washer of Dick Johnson’s balls, “Dick Johnson may be really swinging well right now, but there’s no doubt his extra stiff shafts and large club head have helped raise his game.”

Robert Garrigus: Former Green Blazer. His 28" putter isn't the only thing that makes him unique
Robert Garrigus is unique on the PGA Tour player for more than one reason. There's his 28 inch putter. Six inches below the new standard length of 34"(See video below. What a horrible putt!).
The 28" putter lands Garrigus T78 in the tour's putting average, but he hits it a green mile and is safe for next year at 77th on the money list.
Before finishing 2nd at Q school in 2006, Garrigus was a typical college bro who enjoyed smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol whenever possible. He admits to getting stoned up to 10 times a day and frequently getting black out drunk. He sure wasn't in PGA tour form in those daze, but this Blazer is sure he was having a good time. This went on for years; until one day, in a drunken stoned-out haze, he decided to make his pipe dream a reality. He was posted up on his couch watching a golf tournament, and thought, "I should be out there." Soon after that, he checked himself into rehab. After checking out, he turned his full attention to golf. He certainly means business now, but the next step for Robert is to chalk up the all important "W" to prove he's here to stay. When he does record that first win, The Green Blazer has a hunch he stashed away a little something for that all important victory bowl.

Happy 18th Birthday, Michelle Wie. What better way to celebrate than participate in a repackaged Skins Game?
Two weeks ago Superhero Columnist the Desert Rat (www.professionaldesertrat.blogspot.com) made a great point about the fading (lack) luster of the Skins Game. He suggested that, in the absence of big names like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, perhaps an all-women format could reinvigorate an essentially meaningless November golf event that gets killed in the television ratings by Saturday college football games and Sunday NFL games.
Not only does The Green Blazer agree with The Rat, he demands further action: let's turn it into a real Skins game and have these beautiful ladies not only win Skins but lose clothes along the way. The LPGA has admittedly taken its sex appeal up a notch. The ladies could end up in bikinis, and if one were to lose yet another hole, she could either opt to cut her losses and quit, or plunge into the nearest body of water and keep playing.

Hunter Going for the Quick Kill
As most people already know, Barbara Nicklaus was responsible for Woody Austin's goggles march the day after he fell into the water.
Since then, Barbara has been known as the new prankster in the golf world, and she’s making sure to live up to that reputation. She claimed another victim the week of The President’s Cup, but this story seemed to sneak under the radar. 25 year old Hunter Mahan was on the receiving end of another practical joke by wacky Barbara Nicklaus, but it wasn’t all shits and giggles to Hunter:
Barbara then made her way up to Hunter’s room at the scheduled time of his meeting with the mystery suitor. She left a doll she called Monique by the door. She then knocked on Hunter's door and quickly slipped around the corner snickering to herself. It was reported that Hunter was unsettled by the event. "He didn't take that too good, I don't think," said Scott Verplank following the incident.

Nick Faldo's E-monument to Me
The other day The Blazer stumbled across Nick Faldo's website while trying to get information on Faldo's history with the now PGA-banned substance "beta blocker." While it's not uncommon to see a golfer with an official website, there is something unusually egomaniacal about From nickfaldo.com And it isn't the dissolving Faldo photo reel, or the sub-head about Faldo entitled "The Man," or the Nick Faldo Fan Club, or even the fine selection of Faldo wines. It's the fact that the site is narrated in a first person format, so instead of it looking like someone designed a promotional site about Nick Faldo, it looks like Faldo built himself a "monument to me" in cyberspace.
On the home page alone, Faldo makes more than 25 references to himself using the words "me," "myself," or "I." That's compared to less than 10 Tiger Woods references on Woods' home page, and Woods' is much less "conspicuously-proud-of-myself" third person. And as you would have guessed, none of Faldo's monologues involved any reflection on his history with beta blockers. But The Blazer did find several other little nuggets he thought he'd share.Under subhead "The Man," (below the dissolving Nick Faldo photo library, to the left of the giant photo of Nick Faldo), and on the Faldo Enterprises diary, you will find some great first person Faldoisms, including "I also enjoy a lot of the female singers" and "We ended up at a huge glacier and took a trip across the ice in a snow-mobile."
Below is a list of Nick Faldo snippets that The Blazer pasted from these sections."I am actively involved with several charities"
"I commentated for the Pebble Beach Pro-Am""I've got a genuine passion for course design"
"I've been through every international time-zone there is""I'm destined to work with the best that the fairer sex has to offer the sport"
"my daughter, Georgia went for a couple of hours horse-riding""We ended up at a huge glacier and took a trip across the ice in a snow-mobile"
"I even had a word with Tiger""I like Australia"
"I also like the Californian area""I can't recommend
"I also managed to find time to visit Reykjavik Golf Club for the inaugural Faldo Series Iceland championship ... I turned up as a bit of a surprise to watch the last few holes"
"I often wonder what it would be like to be a professional sportsman outside of golf ... I like the fact that you are in an arena""I should have been a footballer"
Whew! All that and still no mention of the beta blockers. As it turns out, it was another Nick who was using beta blockers(hint - Two in a row 1994. hint 2 - "what is the _ _ _ _ _ of that item"). And that Nick was prescribed the substance for a heart condition. Now let's put the focus back on Faldo (I'm sure he would want it that way). Here is a picture of what Nick Faldo would look like if he was struggling to get off the shit.
If Nick was to need further help, he should contact Robert Garrigus. There is a different drug that is now be tested also that could help Faldo to ease the transition -Robert Garrigus is a former green blazer
If any players do test positive for an illegal drug next year, it is more likely it will be Garrigus' drug of choice rather than steriods, beta blockers, or any other now illegal substance. Afterall, all golfers love the euphoria they get from hitting the greens.

Groove Review
We are now officially in the off season, and the groove debate has resurfaced once again. The USGA has still not made an official ruling on which grooves will be made illegal, but The Green Blazer thought he would give a quick groove review of the different kinds of grooves in golf today.
Square Grooves - A nonspecific term that includes both U grooves and Box grooves, and eventually, maybe even Y grooves.
Box Grooves - Form right angles at the top and bottom of the groove, and the only groove in the groove review that is presently illegal.
U Grooves - Square at the top of the groove. Identifiable by a curved "U" at the bottom of the groove
V Grooves - Grooves that come to a triangular point at the end, limiting the amount of spin the ball receives
Y Grooves - "V grooves" that square off at a specific deepness to form the shape of a Y
Smooth Grooves - Sensual assortment of R & B and soul music from Rhino Records, available in 12 volumes

Jenni Carlson on Fat Golfers: The Pot Calling the Kettle Black?
By now I'm sure we've all heard about Oklahoma coach Mike Gundy ripping the head off a newspaper columnist from the Oklahoman before shitting down her throat. In case you still haven't seen it, check it out below. Notice how he implies that this columnist is fat and unlovable by playing up the fact that she doesn't have any children. As he makes threatening gestures in the her direction, we can't help but wonder "Who is this writer who was able to inspire such hatred in Gundy?" The camera never pans over.
Her name is Jenni Carlson, in the video below she is doing a bit on Tiger Woods, who she obviously wants to father the children Gundy criticizes her for not having. After seeing her and watching the video The Blazer is starting to realize what Gundy found so annoying. At one point she takes a pot shot at golfers for using golf carts and having beer guts, to which The Blazer responded by thinking "Oh no she dih ent." I believe the proverbial phrase for that would be "The pot calling the kettle black."

Trump to Scotland: The world's greatest golf course and I'll even include an unnecessary, unwanted little town
The Donald is attempting to take his experience in multimillion dollar golf course development overseas. He missed out on the public debate over his sudden interest in Scotland this week in Aberdeen; however, he spoke via a recorded video before the debate began. If his plan goes through, he will build what he calls, "The world's greatest golf course," in an environmentally safe area in Scotland just north of Aberdeen. Oh and by the way, along with the golf course comes 1500 homes and hotel that's so large Trump would likely describe it as "The Rosie O'Donnell of hotels."
If this development happens, The Blazer is sure the course will be impressive and send even the most tightfisted Scots reaching for their wallets. But the greatest in the world? The Blazer says not likely. What's more realistic is the image-savvy Trump has attached a sexy handle to the course to bring attention towards it and away from the 450 room hotel and small city of residences--the real moneymakers. If Trump's ambition is to build the world's greatest golf course, The Blazer recommends he takes all the energy he's applying to residential development and use it to secure his course a spot in the British Open rotation.
Out here in Blazeland TGB could give a puff whether this development is built or not. It's safe to assume that this course will never be the world's greatest, but if it does ever make its way to the top of that prestigious list, G Blaze is sure that live aerial shot from the British Open would look better without 1500 little boxes on the Scottish hillside.

Rare Glimpse of Gigantic Super Stroke Prototype Grip
The Green Blazer used his connections to score this exclusive look at a prototype version of the Super Stroke putter grip . . .
Colin Montgomerie is Above the Law
Despite the fact that Colin Montgomerie is adored by golf fans in Europe, his aloof attitude toward American golf spectators surely hasn't given him a fan-favorite reputation here in the states. Between him and the Simpsons' Mr. Burns, the name "Montgomerie" is regarded with a sort of comedic disdain in the US (although The Blazer appreciates Monty Burns' taste in jackets).
As far as Colin Monty is concerned, his majorless career and unwillingly adopted nicknames such as "Mrs. Doubtfire" seem to have added even more coals to his already red-hot temper. There is one habit that helps Monty neutralize his irritation, however: speeding.
Actually speeding, then using his influence to avoid a ticket, as it seems Monty has crafted his legal hurdling almost as masterfully as his lofty fade.
Back in September of '04, Monty was busted driving 96mph near his home in Surrey. The case colapsed after the officer failed to appear in court. Then on February 24, '07, he was caught again (on camera) doing 88 in a 70 zone. This time the case was reported as "not called" after local authorities in Surrey failed to document the incident until after the six month time limitation . . . oops.
Like a round well played with Alastair McLean's help, Monty wasn't able to pull his legal birdies off alone. He enlisted the help of the ever-crafty shyster Nick Freeman. Freeman specializes in using subtle legal technicalities to get celebrity clients off the hook when they're caught disobeying the rules of the road. Apparently he's also helped Sir Alex Ferguson and David Beckham get acquitted of driving offenses. Damn, where was this guy when Paris Hilton needed him?
The Blazer wonders, for legendary greens keeper Carl Spackler's sake, can he be of any assistance in golf cart DUIs?
