Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:25:19 +0000

This is part one of two in a series: Behind The Scenes Of Golf Channel’s Live Coverage On The PGA Tour Intro I was looking for some unique stuff to cover while down in Puerto Rico for the PGA Tour’s Puerto Rico Open. Yes I could write about the same old stuff every other media person would at [...]

Tiger Woods to return at The Masters

Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:12:36 +0000

Tiger Woods has just announced he’ll return to professional golf at The Masters. I would have thought he’d try to get one competitive round in before that to warm himself up, likely Bay Hill. The Masters is a perfect place for Tiger to return because of the high level of security and the strict rules enforced [...]

Puerto Rico Open Photos – John Daly and more

Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:18:16 +0000

I’ve just uploaded another batch of photos to the HOG 2010 Puerto Rico Open Photo Gallery, bringing the total to almost 250. In this batch are a bunch of shots from when I followed John Daly around. Boy was that fun. This guy has so much raw talent it is sick. Just looking at his [...]

Masters to broadcast in 3D – Wonder if Bobby Jones would wear 3D glasses

Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:16:43 +0000

Power Outage

We had a major power outage in our server’s data center this morning. The site was down for a while. Apologies for any issues. The problem has been fixed. There may be a few straggling DNS issues which make the site a bit sketchy for a little while but it should be back to 100% [...]

Meet my new girlfriend, Miss Universe Sephania Fernandez

Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 06:18:04 +0000

I’m at this cool place in Puerto Rico called “Richie’s.” Good location, good food, drinks, live music. I even chatted with the man himself, Richie. He was very nice. So I’m minding my own business and this very pretty (and tall) lady just can’t keep her eyes off me. Then she asks if she can have [...]

Puerto Rico Open Saturday Part 1

Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 15:19:45 +0000

I called this post “Part 1″ because I plan on doing a few updates today. But I’d rather spend my time on the course seeing the action and taking photos, than sit here in the press room looking at the backs of golf writers’ heads. With that in mind I won’t be in the press [...]
