My Mecca

Issue: Augusta National?

Short Answer: Well, yeah, but let's be realistic.

Reasoning: I made a promise to only blog super awesome things anymore, so, you know this has to be awesome.  For those that know me, my Mecca would have to be something entailing baseball or golf. Since my baseball career is long over, golf now rules my life.  So, other than Augusta National (which I will probably never play), Pebble Beach or St. Andrew's or some other world famous course would suffice as my Mecca.  That was, until a few minutes ago.

Dave Pelz is the short game guru.  He has written books, coached some of the best players in the world, and is generally the go-to guy when it comes to golf shots from 100 yards and in.  He could save everyone a few shots on their handicaps, that's for sure.  However, did you know that he has the GREATEST BACK YARD IN THE WORLD???  If you don't believe me, watch this:

When I die, I want to go to Dave Pelz's backyard.  I'm not sure heaven could be any better.

Best Commercial Ever?

Issue: So much for blogging more...

Short Answer: Oh well.  But, I couldn't pass this up.

Reasoning: I'm sure most of you missed it, or, just didn't give a crap, but Rory McIlroy signed a huge deal with Nike last year (some reports had the number around $200 million), joining some dude named Tiger as a spokesman for Nike golf.  Nike now has the #1 and #2 ranked players in the world peddling their products.  So, what is the logical thing to do?  That's right, put them both in a commercial for our entertainment.  This is awesome:

I don't use Nike clubs, I don't use Nike balls, and I don't wear Nike shoes, but, this might make me think about changing sometime in the near future.  OK, probably not, but this is still an awesome commercial.
