Frogg Togg Chilly Pad

Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:36:53 +0000

During the last three golf rounds I’ve played, the temperatures have exceeded 100 degrees. Despite that I’ve felt quite refreshed after my round. Part of that is keeping hydrated with tons of liquids and sports drinks. The other is that I’ve been using a Frogg Togg Chilly Pad to keep cool. It has taken a [...]

Pomology Joint Formula

Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:55:25 +0000

Anyone who has followed my golf sites knows I suffer from some pretty bad back pain. And as of late I’ve had some tendinitis in the left elbow (golfer’s elbow) and knee pain in the left knee has been creeping in. Hmm. My left side is falling apart and my right side is fine. Not [...]

Golf State Of Mind

Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 05:23:40 +0000

“Golf is 90% mental, and the other 10% is in your head.” I’m capable of hitting great golf shots. I’ve hit thousands of them. I’m also capable of completely gagging and hitting horrid golf shots, like today when I limped to the finish line on the last two holes with bogey and double bogey to [...]

Swing Tweaks – Granny Edition Followup

Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 14:52:34 +0000

Yesterday’s round at Hidden Valley with my dad was glorious. 8:15am, long shadows, cool air, beautiful course. The greens were as smooth and fast as they’ve been all year. In fact, the speed was so much faster than I’m used to I gagged away three shots in the first few holes while trying to adjust. [...]

Swing Tweaks – Granny Edition

Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 13:04:54 +0000

I’m working on a small tweak to my swing which will hopefully increase accuracy and eliminate my ever famous “granny” move. While playing my 18 hole league Tuesday, my pal and golf pro Guy and I discussed shortening my swing. I tried a few swings and he told me that those were the best swings [...]

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson two highest earning athletes

Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:43:35 +0000

SI has come out with their “Fortunate 50″ list for 2010. Once again the top to highest paid athletes are golfers! #1: Tiger Woods has been the highest paid athlete for seven years in a row, despite a drop in $22 million last year. Boy how much could you do with an extra $22 million [...]

Review: Gran Melia resort in Puerto Rico

Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 19:23:13 +0000

I couldn’t have imagined that starting a golf blog in 2004 would result in my attending the PGA Tour’s Puerto Rico Open and staying at the beautiful Gran Melia Resort in Puerto Rico six years later. But that’s one of many great events which has occurred as a result of being the web’s #1 golf [...]

Birthday wishes to golf babe Sophie Sandolo. For some reason which I can’t quite pinpoint, I really like Sophie….
