Scan me…

If you’ve got Blackberry Messenger press the black berry button and then click on “scan a group barcode”. All you need to do then is hover the bb over the barcode, the camera will take a picture when the focus is good enough to decode automatically.

If you have an iPhone you’ll have to download a free app here to scan this because Apple doesn’t like using technologies they haven’t patented themselves.

In 1998, Time named The Autobiography of Malcolm X one of the ten most influential nonfiction books of the 20th century. I was 17 years old at Glebe High school when I chose to read The Autobiography of Malcolm X for an english class project. The rest is history…

No Clue…

We stole this from FoxNews because they’ve written a piece on something we’ve been screaming for years. Thanks to Mygolfspy for the find.

Insanity, craziness or madness is a spectrum of behaviors characterized by certain abnormal mental or behavioral patterns.

The scariest number for the golf business has nothing to do with how many days Tiger Woods will miss from the bulging disk in his neck or exactly how many mistresses he may or may not have taken up with. We’ve been banging our drum trying to get the attention of the golf industry for awhile to show their marketing, their money and their attitude is going the wrong way if they want to attract the next generation of golfers.

It’s this: According to the National Golf Foundation’s most recent participation report, the number of golfers age 6-17 dropped 24 percent to 2.9 million from 3.8 million between 2005 and 2008.

Here’s a reason: Want to make an eight-year-old cry? Tee up a ball for him on a 450-yard hole with a green surrounded by bunkers and tell him to hole out before the group waiting to tee off starts complaining to the course superintendent. All the testosterone-induced courses constructed over the past decade just make it worse. Kids need to start on family-friendly facilities where they can be provided with some good old-fashioned self-esteem.

What makes those golf statistics even more disturbing is that during this period of decline, The First Tee, the national program aimed at introducing younger players to the sport, has been exploding. There are now 200 First Tee Chapters in the U.S., which oversee the operation of clinics at 700 facilities and training programs for some 400,000 kids. Another 1.6 million will take up golf in elementary school gym classes The First Tee has developed. Its programs often present the game in combination with “life skills” such as being honest, polite and other virtuous attributes golf prides itself on.

But USGA executives say the industry doesn’t have hard data on exactly what makes a kid get hooked.

It’s obvious the USGA has no pulse on their own sport. Here’s some non-hard data to show you why kids aren’t taking up the sport.. CLICK HERE

Presented with these figures, golf officials are puzzled. “I don’t know how to reconcile those numbers with what we’re seeing in our program,” said Joe Louis Barrow, Jr., chief executive of The First Tee, an initiative of the World Golf Foundation. He suggested that while The First Tee is very good at connecting with younger kids, keeping teenagers is more challenging. “Conceivably one segment is growing and another is declining.”

Barrow isn’t the only one who is confused. The United States Golf Association has awarded some $65 million in grants since 1997, including more than $1.8 million last year, all aimed at increasing access to golf, in many cases, specifically for young people. But USGA executives say the industry doesn’t have hard data on exactly what makes a kid get hooked.

Sounds like a problem, right? “At the macro level that’s a fair assessment,” said Steve Czarnecki, assistant director of grants and fellowships for the USGA. “In our view it’s the ability to participate and enjoy the sport components from the tee to the hole. We don’t support programs that are just beating balls on a driving range.”

King Kill 33…

“Though he was a great golfer, JFK didn’t want to be seen playing”

“They kept JFK’s game in the closet. In fact, Americans didn’t really realize JFK loved golf until several months after he was in office. They let the cat out of the bag only because there were all these rumors about JFK and other extracurricular activities. He was sneaking off doing other things and spokesman Pierre Salinger had to tell people, “No, no, no. He’s playing golf.” That was better than the alternative.”

Para-Milly…

Ribbon bars are small decorations that are worn by military, police, and fire service personnel or by civilians. Ribbon bars are mainly used when wearing either full decoration, or when wearing medals is considered inappropriate or impractical. Each military force has its own rules on what ribbons are worn in which order of precedence. Some awards are “ribbon only”, having no associated medal.


Triple Bogey’s Ribbon Bars


General Patton’s Ribbon Bars

Ribbon bars are normally not worn on utility or combat uniforms, but instead for office or dress occasions. Some countries (such as Cuba) maintain a standard practice of wearing full ribbon bars on combat utility clothing. In other militaries, this is strictly prohibited as the wear of ribbons on combat gear could make higher ranking officers more noticeable as targets, and also negate the effect of camouflage.

God Hates Golf…

Kirk Session: an ecclesiastical court in Scotland, composed of the minister and elders of a parish.

Edinburgh Burgh records of 1593 bemoan the fact that Edinburgh churchgoers were playing golf in Leith instead of going to church. On 16th February 1610, South Leith Kirk Session proposed a fine of 20 shillings (one pound) to be paid ‘to the poor’ by anyone found playing golf (or bowls or archery) between sunrise and sunset on Sunday. Apart from the fine, they would also have to confess their sins in church. This persecution continued until 1724, which year marks the last official Kirk prosecution in Scotland for Sunday golfing, when the Leith innkeeper John Dickson was accused of giving victuals to Sabbath golfers.

I learned about this here and then stole it so you could learn about it too…
