What looks interesting is the color scheme, the green stands out, it's totally branded. Like KTM dirt bikes with the orange branding. This product is well thought out, I would not mind sampling one of these. Remember, I live on Maui in Hawaii, and the trade winds can crank up big time. I'd take this puppy out to the Kapalua Village Driving range where the wind blows into your face about 85% of the time at various speeds.

Then I'd have a couple of Kapalua Golf Pros (Troon) taking it up to the Plantation Golf Course and rip this thing down the 18th! With a slight breeze behind those guys can really rope it close to the green. Me, I'd take a while with my bad back but WTF, this thing looks juicy man.

JAN T STEPHENSON WAS A REBEL ON THE LPGA TOUR

In the 70s there were a lot of manly looking LPGA golfers, but when Jan Stephenson who was on tour did this cover, it made a lot of us curious boys choke on our cheeseburgers and sodas, "Wow! Boobies!!!!" Jan did some risqué things back then, I remember one article she said that she loved to get dirty! Hmmm, of course when we were little curious kids, we were like, "She likes to get dirty." But it took one of our older buddies to tell us, "You stupid kids, she likes to ___________, __________."  We were like, "ooooooooo...oooooo."

WORKING THE BAG ROOM AT THE KAPALUA BAY COURSE

It was a long time ago. Let's just say when we blasted the FM radio when we were done at work as the sun set we'd have the cold brews going, and these are the songs that were being played.

Jeremy- Pearl Jam
Under The Bridge- Red Hot Chili Peppers
One- U2
Come As You Are- Nirvana
Friday I'm In Love- The Cure
Everybody Hurts- R.E.M.
Nothing Else Matters- Metallica
Steam- Peter Gabriel
Mama I'm Coming Home- Ozzy Osbourne
Let's Get Rocked- Def Leppard

Okay so now you know I'm an old fart! But hey working there for over a year was the best freeking job in the world. First of all I was a lame golfer, and quite frankly still am. But when I worked there with my friends, Weasle, Willy, Ben, Rafter, Porter, Eddie, Ben H. it was fun. I got pretty good playing because I hung around the teaching pros who were cool. We'd go out and play nine after the early shift ended, got free lessons, all it cost was beers at the bar. Well, looking back all those beers added up but what the hell we had fun.

I remember one time, the D.O.G. (Director of Golf's dad) was in town from Chicago, I don't want to disclose his name for obvious reasons. I'd need all those legal papers, "Hey can I write about you?" Nah.. this is safer. But anyhow, they had a local PGA Section tournament that was held at the Bay Course. Lots of local pros from all of the golf courses in Hawaii. So it was busy, besides those guys, there was the regular resort golfers we had to service. 

But Joe comes in from Chicago, and he's got beers. We were all thinking, "Joe's got beers, but we can't drink we're on the clock." But Joe's all cool, "C'mon, help me drink this before it gets warm."

Well, his son is the D.O.G., and he's on the course someplace playing in the tournament, what if he stops by real quick for business, after all he's also on the clock so to speak. So Rafter is this guy from Cincinnati, loved the Reds and was one of my pals at work. "Hey Ronnie, let's drink this beer real quick!" "Okay shit might as well." So we took the beers Joe handed everyone (on the clock) and took it to the back where the ball washer was. So we started laugh at the fact that Joe the father of our boss is giving us beers during work hours. Rafter chugs his real fast, and I do as well. 

Now if you didn't know unless you've worked there or played there a lot, the ball washer is right below the 10th tee box. And guess who was there watching us chug the brews? You guessed it, it was Joe's son our boss the D.O.G., all he did was shake his head, and teed up. Joe was a cool guy.

WIE AND LEADBETTER

Michele Wie is working with David Leadbetter. According to Michele she's starting from scratch with some injuries Leadbetter wants her to be more natural. I thought she was? Then again what the hell do I know? Aren't all LPGA pros natural? If I had a natural swing, I'd be doing a golf gig somewhere. That's what I thought, that her swing was natural.

I guess she's paying Leadbetter a lot of money to coach her into 2016. Let's see if that shit really works. I could watch her swing for half what she's paying Leadbetter. Of course that would never take place just saying.

BLAIR & SNEDEKER SHARE THE LEAD AFTER 3 ROUNDS AT THE SONY

Brandt Snedeker shot a -4 at Waialae C.C. for a total of -16 for the first 3 rounds, right next to him sharing the lead is Zac Blair who shot a-6 and is at -16 for the tournament. The final round should be interesting as Si Woo Kim is at -14 for the 3 rounds and shot a -5 today. Kevin Kisner shot a -3 today to share the -14 spot with Si Woo Kim.

Fabian Gomez is at -12 at four back. Seven others are at -11 for the 3 rounds. A few birdies by the close followers, and some miscues by the two leaders can prove to be a very intriguing last round before the players head back for mainland soil.

On a good note, non of the players got drugged and tossed in a car's trunk and then tossed on to the back streets of Honolulu early in the morning.
