No More Fall Golf…Thanks Sandy!

November 2, 2012 | By Pete Girotto | 1 Comment

If you live in the Northeast then the names Sandy and Irene will  forever be branded in our heads. Kind of like how Katrina is to those in the New Orleans area. Last year Irene pretty much ended my golfing season early and that pissed me off. Now, Sandy has ruined any chance of hitting my local track for a last round or two.

In the overall scheme of things not being able to golf is petty compared to the real problems the last two hurricanes caused. I guess you really don’t know the destruction these natural disasters can do unless you live it. I was very lucky to only have power knocked out at my house where a couple miles down the road houses were pretty much washed out to sea. Not too mention New Jersey and New York took a much harsher beating.

So, how can I help? Glad you asked! Check out these links below.

  • American Red Cross
  • Americares
  • Salvation Army  

Also, check out this list that Forbes has compiled of how we can help. If you have any other links please add it in a comment or let me know and I’ll post it.

Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!

No Such Thing As Bad Press

January 7, 2011 | By Pete Girotto | 1 Comment

As I watch the snow fall outside and gripe about shoveling, I received an interesting news feed – It looks as if Mr. Woods has lost another endorsement; This one coming from Golf Digest. CNBC reported:

NEW YORK – Tiger Woods will no longer be writing a monthly column for Golf Digest, ending a long standing sponsorship that adds to a growing pile of dropped endorsements for the golfer. “We have decided it’s now time for a break,” Woods said in a joint statement with Golf Digest on Thursday. The decision comes on the heels of Procter & Gamble Co’s Gillette brand not renewing its contract with Woods at the end of December.

Accenture, AT&T Inc, PepsiCo Inc Gatorade have all ended sponsor deals with the golfer. Electronic Arts, however, announced this week it was planning to release a “Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12″ video game”

How ’bout them apples? At least he’s got a video game going for him…oh…and his billion dollar net worth according to Forbes.com. And all that hoopla about his ex taking him for half is pretty much B.S. Rumor has it that The-Golfer-Formerly-Known-As-Eldrick has short arms and deep pockets*.

Hit’em long…yell FORE!!! Now where’s my snowsuit…?
