Tiger Woods Car Chase Game

Posted by The Common Golfer

Now you can desperately try to outrun Tiger Woods’ wife in a Cadillac Escalade!  A new online game called Tiger Woods Wife Outrun, is becoming a huge hit across the Internet.

In the game, Tiger sits in the passenger seat as one of his mistresses drives the Escalade.  Running behind the car with a golf club is Tiger’s wife Elin.  The object is to collect golf clubs and trophies, and avoid trees, rocks, and fire hydrants.  If you crash the Escalade, Elin runs in front of the car and bashes Tiger over the head with the golf club!

The game is surprisingly addictive, and has already been played over a million times.  Although, I have to admit I wish something else would happen soon in the golf world; I’m getting tired of only talking about Tiger!

Is it responsible to post pics like this? Probably not – but neither is cheating on your wife! So we’ll call it even :)

Only In Japan – Lingerie Doubles As Putting Green

Posted by The Common Golfer

This was too good to not pass along.  If your wife/girlfriend is wearing Triumph International Japan’s new “Nice Cup In Bra,” you can practice your putting as soon as she takes her clothes off!  Because that’s what everyone wants to do when their significant other gets naked…right?

The artificial grass top, when taken off, unrolls into a 1.5 meter putting mat.  If you make a putt in one of the two holes, built in speakers say “nice putt!”  The bra also includes pockets for storing extra balls and tees, as well as a detachable flag pin that doubles as a score pencil.

The bottom half has a detachable pink skirt with the words “Be Quiet” printed on the rear.  When removed, the extra-short skirt can be used as a flag to encourage onlookers to remain silent…which I’m sure they will be given that a woman has just taken off her skirt!

Triumph International Japan claims the lingerie was created in response to the growing popularity of golf among females in Japan, and is designed to appeal to busy working women looking for a unique and convenient way to practice their putt.  Seriously???  Only in Japan.

Golf Trick Shot Championship

Posted by The Common Golfer

Some of the shots in this video I don’t even have enough creativity to conjure up!  My only question is…if you’re putting tons of hours of practice in for the “Trick Shot Championship,” what could you do with your real golf game if you practiced that instead?

Weirdness In The Golf World

Posted by The Common Golfer

In the golf world, two things this week have made me stop and say WTF?

First off, Rickie Fowler made news this week when he signed with PUMA to wear their apparel on tour.  I’m a big fan of PUMA’s modern style…but apparently they’re making a little too much profit off sales.  Below is a picture of the “pimped out” golf cart PUMA gifted to Fowler, to welcome him to the PUMA team.  What the hell is he supposed to do with this thing?  It certainly isn’t golf-course friendly.

I also came across the following clip from a Japanese golf show.  No explanation is really necessary…but I think it’s fair to say that Japanese culture is no where near American culture.

I guess now that the PGA’s regular season is over, I’ll be reduced to writing about a lot of things only loosely related to golf!

Winning Video For Tiger Woods Video Game Contest

Posted by The Common Golfer

I wanted to share this video that won an EA Sports contest to promote Tiger Woods Golf 2010.  Paul Lowey produced this video (which is actually really funny) for almost no money…and won $50,000!

Slow Play At the Turn of the Century

Posted by The Common Golfer

This cartoon, from a 1913 issue of The American Golfer, makes fun of slow golfers (special thanks to Golf Course of Rhymes).  If you read the caption, though, they considered a 3-hour round slow!  Wouldn’t we all kill for a 3-hour round nowadays?  If these guys below knew about the 5 1/2 hour round I had a few weeks ago, they’d turn over in their graves.

I’m not sure why I’m recognizing these guys (it only encourages their bad behavior). But I found this amusing. Follow this video step-by-step to improperly drive the ball well.

A Clown Asks John Daly For His Pants Back

Posted by The Common Golfer

Daly Weekley

Oh wait, that's not a clown, that's Boo Weekley! This is a picture of Weekley and John Daly playing in Fuzzy Zoeller's charity golf event. Oddly enough, my biggest question has nothing to do with either of them...why the hell is there an actual clown in the background??

Worst Idea Ever

Posted by The Common Golfer

The pictures in this post are courtesy of The I.P. Golf Guy, and were so funny that I couldn’t pass up the chance to pile on.  These pictures are from an actual patent application recently filed.  driver 211x300 Worst Idea EverThe following is from the application, and in the inventor’s own words:  The striking surface is substantially in a hemispherical shape or a semicircular tubular shape, such that the contact surface is also in a circular shape as the golf ball to produce a reaction force to give an explosive force at the ball striking point (which is similar to a baseball bat and a baseball), and the golf ball can be driven to a farther driving distance to enhance the practicability and value of the product.

Seriously?!?!  If you’re like me, the absolute absurdity of these drawings leaves me nearly speechless.  The difference between golf and baseball is that most swings in baseball are foul balls.  The equivalent to a foul ball in golf is a wicked snap hook!  Baseball players aren’t trying to hit their pitches within a 20-yard frame (i.e. a fairway).  In the second picture, you can almost see the ridiculous side spin about to be imparted on the golf ball.

Anyways, I thought this would be worth a laugh to everyone reading this.  Stay tuned for my post next week, where I will be unveiling my new idea for a putter…the face is going to be covered with metal spikes.
