John Daly beat up his biggest fan in Australia today…the camera.  Having caught Daly doing all sorts of things in the past, it was about time it got the kicking it deserved, or so Daly thought as it captured him duffing another shot.  The camera belonged to a another fan, Brad Clegg who luckily escaped a beating himself.

Callaway Prizes

Callaway has just emailed me with a great Christmas game that’s worth a shout. Their Driving Home for Christmas game could win you a brand new set of Callaway Golf clubs or a Callaway Winter Warmer Goody Bag!

The challenge? Hit a present that’s fallen off Santa’s sleigh. Make the shot and you’ll be entered in their daily draw for the Goody Bag (one to give away every day until 21st December). Lead the pack at the end of the competition and you’ll win a full set of Callaway Golf clubs.

Simple as that. The daily goody bag prize includes a Callaway Golf watch, waterproof bucket hat, waterproof hat, one pair of mittens, one caddy towel, one locker room duffel bag, and more.

The main prize includes a Callaway Golf Driver, two Callaway Golf Fairway Woods, eight Callaway Golf Irons, one Callaway Golf Wedge, one Odyssey Putter, and much more…

I know they’re just asking for emails but still, if you like golf. Why not. Good luck!

December 3rd, 2008

Aldi has just announced it is selling lots of lovely golf gear at very cheap prices this winter. As from tomorrow the 4th December you will be able to find it all on the shelves.

It is not all cheap rubbish either, they’ve got some decent titleist golf balls to chose from. It looks like a great deal if they’ve got any left by the time I get there.

Anyway, here are the bits on offer:

Don’t be wuss says Lonard…idiot

December 3rd, 2008

Australian champion Peter Lonard seems to be worried that new golf pros coming through the ranks in Australia are becoming “wussy” and reliant on sports shrinks, yoga instructors and gurus of all kinds.

He’s currently in Queensland gearing up for the Australian PGA which he hopes to win for the fourth time.  With the tournament to tee off on Thursday, he’s found time to seek out a journalist and complain that golfers are just copying the field of top-tier golfers.

Callaway announces “trade in to trade up” offer in the US

December 2nd, 2008

Callaway has annouced a deal in the US that allows you to trade in your old clubs and use the money you get to buy a nice new set of Callaways.  A great idea that I hope they roll out to the UK.

Apparently you get $10 for an old Big Bertha Iron which is great. You can pick them up for next to nothing on the internet so theoretically you could buy 12 sets of rubbish old ones for $80 each ($960) and trade them in…

So that’s 14 clubs x 12 = 168 clubs.   168 x $10 = $1,680

Sweet, new set of Irons for not much effort.  Ok, in practice in wouldn’t work I know but it’s a nice idea I think.  You can trade in any manufacturer of club including Cobra, Titleist, Taylor Made etc all for varying money.

Come on Callaway, roll it out in the UK. Check out this link for the full trade in values pricelist.
