I normally wouldn’t post an airline story; however, this story SHOCKED me and I strongly feel it is necessary for everyone to read this article. I couldn’t believe what the airline flight attendant said to the passenger when they asked for oxygen and you won’t believe it either.  I cover passengers who …

Countless words have been meticulously placed on endless pages about Hogan and his ball striking. The most famous is Mr. Hogan’s first book Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf published in the 1950’s.

But, V.J. Trolio’s and co-author Dave Hamilton’s book is different...this is not just another “Hogan” book! As soon as I opened the book and read the first chapter, it was obvious that V.J. and Dave were on to something no one else has detected in the “Great Hogan’s” swing. Most times the solution to a puzzle is so obvious it is easily overlooked and so subtle it is nearly impossible to detect.

After hours of watching videos of Hogan’s swing and applying geometry, math and physics, V.J. and Dave discovered the subtle yet obvious single move Hogan never revealed in any of his books. Now, the puzzle is complete. This book is a must read for any golfer who wants to put the final piece in their puzzle of becoming a better ball striker.

About the authors: V.J. Trolio is Class A member of the PGA and a teaching professional at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point Mississippi. He played college golf at USM. As a pro, he struggled until he added the missing piece to his own golf swing. He won the 2007 Mississippi Open (Farm Bureau Invitational) He is the co-inventor of the Putting Arc® along with Dave Hamilton. Dave is holds a degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University and has seven golf-related patents, including the Putting Arc® and the putting robot, Iron Archie™. V.J. and Dave are the co-developers of The Putting Arc, a revolutionary putting training aid.

If you are looking for a place on the web that is all about golf…TheGolfSpace (TGS) is it. Tony Korologos, the brains behind TGS says “It’s the MYSPACE of Golf without the strippers.” Coming up on its second year, TGS now has over 3100 members from all around the globe…all of them are golfers from every walk of life.

If you Google golf, you get 551,000,000 results, which far ahead of any other sport in the world. 1.6 million...that is how many visitors TGS has had since it was launched and the numbers just keep climbing. Tony’s idea is to provide a free place on the web where golfers can network, meet and have conversations with others who share in their passion.

Members of TGS are given their own URL address…(mine is www.thegolfspace.com/Scruffy) where they can build a personal golf profile, post their favorite golf photos, videos, and write blogs about their golf. Members join in discussions on just about every subject in golf in the forums or they can communicate through private messages or chat with other members.

The game tracker gives members a free place where they can post their scores, give reviews of their favorite courses. Up to date golf news is just a click away and members are encouraged to contribute articles and reviews.

Tony is a golf fanatic, who plays in a rock band, loves heavy metal music and is a self proclaimed computer geek. Besides TGS, he authors one of the top ranked golf blogs on the Internet…Hooked On Golf Blog (HOG) where he writes about golf and life in that order. Another of Tony's sites is The Golf Server, offers web hosting/design.

Tony tests various golf products for companies all around the world and posts his reviews on TGS and HOG. Members of TGS who own a golf business are encouraged to promote their companies…a separate section in the members profile is devoted to business. I have met and done business with several TGS members…it is truly a golf business friendly site.

TheGolfSpace…check it out…make it your “home course” on the web!

We just got back from our trip to Anguilla. We helped Francoise set up her new solar power system. Two Kyocera 130 watt PV panels, a Xantrex C35 charge controller, a Trimetric Battery Meter, a Morningstar Microsine 300 sine wave inverter, and a 70 ah AGM battery, power up 3 Compact Fluorescent Lights, A LG WP-680N Washing Machine (260 Watts) and a Shurflo 12v pump. Two weeks of testing, and we were never able to pull the battery below 12.4 volts. The system consistently output 1.5 kWh's daily. More pics at http://www.green-trust.org/Anguilla Solar/.
