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.

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.”

When it was time for the final obligation we all stood and repeated the oath with the representative candidate, administered by the Sovereign Grand Inspector General. We then swore true allegiance to the Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree, above all other allegiances, and swore never to recognize any other brother as being a member of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry unless he also recognizes the Supreme authority of “this Supreme Council”.
We’ve released our first 3 set of the year… Check them here

Sergeant
Sergeant (normally abbreviated to “Sgt”) is a rank used in some form by most militaries, police forces, and other uniformed organizations around the world. Its origins are the Latin serviens, “one who serves”, through the French term Sergent.
Are you willing to serve for the cause.

Robert Matre captures golf and the details most of us never get to see. He shows us it’s humans that play the game…not the equipment. This post does no justice to the quality and beauty of his photos. You’ll have to go to his site here: Robert Matre to view his portfolio. Enjoy.
“My goal is to celebrate the game of golf in a style that floats between documentation, photo-journalism and high art. Golf is infinitely interesting, and I hope that my photographs allow you to celebrate and enjoy the game in a truly unique fashion.”
The best for last…

Maybe you won’t find these gloves on the PGA tour, but the younger generation have been waiting for a glove like this. Asher makes some of the dopest golf gloves we’ve seen. This is the new face of golf…get used to it.

The lack of vision is what keeps golf on the losing side of drawing in more younger players. The PGA and golf companies just can’t figure out the simplicity of the problem. The big companies believe in a Messiah who will bring the young masses to the sport. They put all of their money on one person who they believe will change the future of the sport. Tiger was supposed to bring in the youth and open the world of golf to young African Americans, but this hasn’t really materialized. Now with Rickie Fowler (make sure we call him “Rickie” to market his youth) making the grade, we’ll see a lot of coverage of him and the same usual talk of “how he’ll bring more youth to the game”. Imagine they called him “Richard Fowler”… we’d fall asleep in 5 seconds if they did.
Golf has an image problem. It is a sport of the retired. That is the public’s perception. Change the perception, and maybe you can convince the kids.
The old man in this video is exactly how the youth perceive golfers. Rich, old, cracker ass men, who don’t want you on their course. Triple Bogey is the William Foster of golf. Pissed off and ready to bang our drum, just for the sake of change.

Men should never worry or complain about sweat. How the industry turned the once known polyester shirt into a new product called “moisture wicking textiles” is a great chapter in bullshit. They’ve convinced you that you are an athlete, and you need athletic “performance” apparel…when you sit in a cart and drive hole to hole. Man the fuck up.
This is what wick textiles were designed for: Menopausal Women.

Triple Bogey is putting all 2009 Golf and T-shirts on sale at 50% off. We’ve moved studios so we want to make the move as easy as possible. There isn’t tons of inventory but we haven’t had a sale this year because we felt we didn’t need to, until now. We think you’ll like these fine shirts at such a great low price. These shirts sport both the Triple Bogey Wireless Ink ™ technology, as well as being made from our proprietary textile, Scotton™.

Over the last couple of years the alternative golf apparel industry has grown in terms of the amount of companies as well as the products they offer. We asked ourselves. What makes these golf apparel companies alternative? Is the brand slightly different from standard golf companies? Is the product different? It seems when these companies say they are alternative they mean an alternative not the alternative.
There are companies out there who have created an alternative look and attitude, Tattoo Golf is one of the first companies and we respect them for what they’ve done with their brand. Kikkor Shoes have also done a great job of truly being different in the golf world, which to most people…is the definition of alternative.
My observations with the golf industry have concluded that using the term alternative in the golf apparel industry actually means “we’re not a large company” instead of meaning we’re selling a different attitude or lifestyle, and different product than the rest.
This is one of the words that I see come up here and there. He’s edgy, they’re edgy, it’s edgy. What the fuck does that mean? I’ve found two definitions of the word. These two are undeniably the definitions. One is Webster’s, the other is the street version. I’ve never used the word “edgy” as in the street meaning, in a serious sentence. It’s always said with cynicism, in a cutting manner. So how do people live with themselves when they use edgy when describing one’s self.
