PGA TOUR Widgets

I finally managed to have a couple of cool PGA TOUR widgets installed at the top of the right sidebar menu. Great success!

Hit the fairway…

All though I was planning on posting more frequently, I have spent more time on the golf course than on the internet and hence the lack of updates. Up until this week there hasn’t been much exciting to report,  but when I come to think about it I’m sure it would be good entertainment. To make up for it I can show you some numbers to prove my point. Golfshot is a great tool to keep track of the progress, or lack of such and a highly reccomended purchase for the iPhone owning golfer. Take a look at this:

This is my driving accuracy for the last 5 rounds. At first glance it is nothing to be ashamed of, but at the bottom you see the graph for the different rounds. On Thursday my accuracy was 9%! Now that’s less than one in ten, and not something to be overly excited about. But on average it actually looks OK. John Daly’s driving accuracy is currently  52,51%. I’m just 10% behind JD.Cool stuff!

Today I played an informal tournament at my home club and had a final score of 85. Now that might sound like I’m getting close to my ambition of breaking 80 in a year, but my home course is a par 67. In all fairness it the goal is to break 80 on a par 72. Nevertheless my handicap is now down to 19,8, and that’s a great step in the right direction of a single digit handicap.

John Daly – Inspirational

During the ongoing Winter Olympics, the Norwegian Curling Team have been noticed more for their apparel, than for their game.   Their colorful pants must have been inspired by Loudmouth, made famous by John Daly.

I -- on the other hand -- find inspiration in watching John Daly play golf.

I am an artist

I want to do something about the lay-out golfdreams. For instance I do need a cool header. Just see what my friends at basedreams have done. I have no idea how to go about, but in my search for an answer, I went out of bounds and discovered Wordle.

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. It can also do this to the text from any website that has an Atom or RSS feed. Below you can see what it did to golfdreams.net, and while it can’t be used for a header, or any thing else for that matter, I think it’s quite cool.
