The Back Nine


Have you taken advantage of you free subscription to Universal Golf Magazine yet? My pal Bobby Nicholson and his innovative and creative staff have developed a golf magazine designed for the Internet packed with videos, current articles, live links to advertisers and a heck or a lot more.
Hello,
As you know, I dislike the silly game and have yet to strike at a ball in hopes that it will sail off into the wild blue yonder landing precisely where I hoped it would, and then upon opening my eyes realize, it in fact, landed in amongst a grove of trees.

On the other hand, much like myself, Barry is obsessed with the rules of golf. Firstly let me say that given the fact he resides in Ireland should not be recorded in the debit column of his ledger. Barry’s obsession for the rules of golf has driven him not only nuts…it has inspired him to write a book called
Barry has promised me he will send you a personally autographed copy of his new hit book. All you have to do is
Cheers!
Scruffy knows how danged particular I am about knuckle dragging fat heads that won't fix a gull darned divot if their mother's honor depended on it...so when he was asked to do a review on this little gadget, he gave me a call.
Every time your customer goes to fix a divot, [his or some other meat head made and did not fix] they will be reminded of your company or event! Plus you will be making me happy, because I get about as angry as a bull at the color of red when I see a dang divot left by some thoughtless hack who has no respect for the golf course or other golfers!
It's me again...
Scruffy told me he had been asked to do product reviews for some golf stuff. He knows how I like anything new or different that has anything to do with golf, so he asked if I would mind doing the reviews. I said “are you kidding…heck yes, bring them on!”
So he hooked me up with my new best friend...Teresa. She’s a marketing specialist who, among other things, offers a line of
Now, first thing I ya’ll to understand is that these items are not designed just for functionality, they are also perfect for promoting your business or charity, because each item has space where your logo and slogan can be imprinted too. How neat is that?
When I open the package, the first thing I looked at is the one I am going to do my first review on.

Hey there...this is

Now…about the tip. When you get up after sitting at the bar for about an hour after your round…do you have trouble moving? Well…it is probably because you are not doing the right if any flexibility stretching before you tee it up. Look at this...if you think he does this without being flexible...you are nutts.

A few weeks ago, I wrote the article you see below this post to help my pal Bobby Nicholson promote his new magazine, Universal Golf. He liked what I wrote...he loved Scruffy & Pals and asked if I would do a series of cartoons for his magazine using Scruffy and his pals.
Of course I happily accepted his offer. The magazine is digitally published for Internet circulation and is now being received in 26 countries worldwide. I will be submitting new cartoons monthly featuring Scruffy and his pals. To view the current issue with my first cartoon, click here.
You don’t have to subscribe to view the magazine but you should, because Bobby will be sure your personal issue is sent your email box every month. That way, you follow the antics of Scruffy & Pals, plus keep up on all the latest happenings in the golf world.
Did I mention it is FREE!
So, tell all your pals about Universal Golf Magazine, they will be glad you did!
The method of transferring information has changed drastically in recent years. I used to sit waiting on Johnny postman to bring my monthly golf fix. Now, I just sit at my computer…where more information than

Hi, this is Knothead, a few years back, I was pretty fed up with my putting, [I still am actually]…anyway, I owned every danged putter made my man and had bought and read every dad-blamed book ever published and watched every video ever produced to improve my putting. None of that crap worked!
My britches are all wadded up and here’s why; I saw a headline on another blog on another blog...“NASCAR” in the driver seat; PGA in the rear view mirror.” The subject was how NASCAR is winning the race (excuse the pun) in the negotiations for television contracts, causing the PGA to fight for their scared TV “tee times”...enter the revised, re-revised FedEx Cup.
going fast and making left turns. They’re right, except those fancy painted cars are traveling at 180+ miles an hour, door knob to door knob, bumper to bumper, gas cap to gas cap while trying to avoid being slammed into a concrete wall head long at a high velocity and being catapulted into the air, flipping end over end down an asphalt race track strewing expensive parts all over the place while other very expensive cars swerve and scatter to avoid the same fate as the driver of the car in flight clinches his teeth and hangs on for dear life. Now that is exciting!
My pal Andy has developed a very unique product that combines Golf, Martinis and Sex! Not only is it fun, it has a long and deep history.
The following is an excerpt from his website:
The history of man is a tale of a quest- the Promised Land, the Holy Grail, the Fountain of Youth, Nirvana and, most recently, to be on American Idol.
The Perfect Day Club is the fulfillment of such a quest.
The history of the modern version of our club goes back to the mid-1980’s. At a time when most of us were recovering from the excesses of the earlier part of the decade, which included a demented interest in beer, wine and, of all things, TENNIS,...(CLICK HERE for the rest of the story)
Of all the great golfers, Ben Hogan’s swing and his ball striking have been the most illusive to mimic. When Dave Hamilton called to ask if I would write a review of his book, my first impression was…”Oh boy...another Ben Hogan How-To Book.”Labels: ball striking, ben hogan, book, five lessons, golf swing, PGA, putting arc

If you are looking for a place on the web that is all about golf…
If you Google golf, you get 551,000,000 results, which far ahead of any other sport in the world. 1.6 million...that is how many visitors TGS has had since it was launched and the numbers just keep climbing. Tony’s idea is to provide a free place on the web where golfers can network, meet and have conversations with others who share in their passion.
Members of TGS are given their own URL address…(mine is
The game tracker gives members a free place where they can post their scores, give reviews of their favorite courses. Up to date golf news is just a click away and members are encouraged to contribute articles and reviews.
Tony is a golf fanatic, who plays in a rock band, loves heavy metal music and is a self proclaimed computer geek. Besides TGS, he authors one of the top ranked golf blogs on the Internet…
Tony tests various golf products for companies all around the world and posts his reviews on TGS and HOG. Members of TGS who own a golf business are encouraged to promote their companies…a separate section in the members profile is devoted to business. I have met and done business with several TGS members…it is truly a golf business friendly site.
PUTTLE is a simple game that will challange the best putters and improve the putting skills of the not so good putters. A great gift idea and a powerful putting aid.
