SortaGolf Association"Gimme Mulligan or Gimme Death"GolfSmarter Podcast Comments Sizzle- June 26, 2008 I recently appeared on the popular GolfSmarter podcast to share the SortaGolf story. If you haven't had the chance to hear it I encourage you to do so and share it with your golfing network.As expected, the SortaGolf revolution for recreational golfer satisfaction has generated a passionate reaction among both golf cultist and populist. GolfSmarter host and producer Fred Greene was kind enough to share some of the email comments he received. I've provided a few of my favorites.http://sortagolf.manilasites.com/2008/06/26#a812 Ed, Say It Isn't So- June 19, 2008 I've always liked Edward Burns as an actor. Decent movies (loved "The Brothers McMullen"). A good gravely voice and an understated manner. A real guy's guy.So you can imagine my disappointment when this year's crop of annoying and condescending USGA "for the good of the game" TV commercials during the U.S. Open featured Burns as the new voice over talent.Ed. The voice of the USGA That's like being the voice of the Tobacco Lobby. Say it isn't so.UPDATE: ..http://sortagolf.manilasites.com/2008/06/19#a809 Hail Caesar- June 18, 2008 Built on the premise that its not "how far" but "how close", these dimple-less Caesar Golf Balls promise to eliminate hooks and slices but at the expense of some distance. There are supposed to be fantastic inside 100 yards and on the green. I can't wait to give them a try and report back.Surprisingly, they are USGA conforming....not that we care.http://sortagolf.manilasites.com/2008/06/18#a807 Call Me David B.- June 16, 2008 This may have been the best 72 hours (SatSunMon) of televised golf ever. What a delight to watch. Aren't we all blessed to be able to witness Tiger Woods' amazing career.The only exception to this golf viewing splender happened on Sunday when an annoying reminder of the USGA's heavy handed approach to the rules was in full view. I got several calls from SortaGolfers during Sunday's broadcast about the penalty stroke assessed against Brandt Snedeker when his ball marker fell from...http://sortagolf.manilasites.com/2008/06/16#a805 Happy National SortaGold Day!- June 14, 2008 Let Freedom Swing...and enjoy a day of your most satisfying golf. For today is National SortaGolf Day. Independence Day for those of us who have declared our independence from the USGA Rules of Golf and embraced the Seven Original Rules of True Ancient Golf (SortaGolf) as discovered by Dr. Petus Muldooney and detailed in the book The Muldooney Revisions.Got this great note from Troy this morning: I just listened to your podcast on Golf Smarter.

Let Freedom Swing!UPDATE: We've touched a nerve, views are already 15,000UPDATE 2: Now at 68,444 !UPDATE3: This is crazy, now it's over 100,000. It's got to be embarrassing for the USGA to have a video titled "USGA Rules of Golf Are Wrong...SORTA" lighting up the internet so close to the USOpen.UPDATE 4: Is this the "golf shot heard round the world" that ignites this recreational golf revolution into an unstoppable...http://sortagolf.manilasites.com/2008/06/05#a800 Cultist vs. Populists- June 4, 2008 Since the 70s, golf literature and popular cinema have been witness to an ideological struggle for the hearts and minds of the golfing public. The Ying is the CULTIST and the Yang the POPULIST. For the Cultist, golf is a metaphysical experience requiring a mystical understanding of a higher celestial plane, upon which the individual plays out a solitary contest bounded by the micro cosmos of the inner self. Golf is the religion of the pious true believer and this view has been celebrated in...http://sortagolf.manilasites.com/2008/06/04#a798 National SortaGolf Day Set for June 14- June 3, 2008 For the SGA, National SortaGolf Day serves as an act of solidarity, recruitment and defiance against the USGA. And it's no accident that we schedule SortaGolf's National Day each year on the Saturday during play of the USGA-sponsored U.S. Open. This year that June 14. On this day, recreation golfers across the nation are encouraged to play using the Sorta 7 Amendments and invite their friends to join them in doing the same. For members of the SortaGolf Association, this is...http://sortagolf.manilasites.com/2008/06/03#a796 |
