Free Club? aka Nice Club Labels!

Dear Unscratchers,

I have put golf labels on my clubbies since I started getting something worth more than my original hand-me-downs. The free club part? Ok, not exactly true BUT I can tell you that twice in the past few seasons I have accidentally left a club on a hole and had them returned to me = kinda free club.

Anyway, I have been using golflabels.com and they are great. Shipping is super fast and they are inexpensive and send 20 labels instead of the 16 found some other places. Bonus is that I re-ordered recently and they were lost in the mail - the great folks there had another set in my hands in a couple of days.

Scotty Cameron California Monterey Putter


Dear Unscratchers,

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a California Monterey and am loving it. I currently game a Fastback 1 (custom Gator Bait-style) but tried the Monterey because it is an Anser-style and I have traditionally been very good with those blades.

I am happy to report that it has been rocking, great round today. I am gaming a 35" and it feels good.

I have always been a "feel" player when it comes to putting and this is returning the feel. I moved to the Gator Bait mid-mallet last season but have finally gotten my groove back (cue some song about Stella, not sure who she is lol).

Trying to win an iPod Nano

I am posting today because Jason Sadler from iwearyourshirt.com and MBO Partners are giving away an iPod Nano to bloggers so here goes.

I love blogging for Unscratcher because I love golf, am mediocre at it, and love sharing info with my equals (no offense, Unscratchers!).

A call for course reviews for the Unscratchers

If you have a good review that you think is fit for the UnscratchGolfer.com, please comment on any posting. Reviews don't need to be from stinky golfers like me, just please make sure you write the review for a fellow Unscratcher. Pertinent reviews will be listed asap.

NEW REVIEWS: Courses - Stone Ridge, OH

Dear Unscratchers,

Glad to be back and Happy Easter!!!! This weekend I played Stone Ridge, a track I have heard is the best public course in the Toledo/Perrysburg/Bowling Green, OHIO area.

Like any of you that are from the near area, you probably felt the near-tornado winds on Saturday. Holy cow, I had promised my daughter earlier this year that I would buy her a kite (2 yr old=big deal!) and it hadn't worked out yet. On the first three holes, I was thinking that she and I would have a kite-tastic time once I got back from golf.

Well.. that definitely wasn't going to happen. I was out there with my father-in-law (FILW from here on out - fill you in on the 'W' when it matters) and sister-in-law Carrie. The course was amazing but at one point I almost could have leaned fully over (and I am 6 feet tall and fatter than I will admit on this post) and felt like I could have leaned in an not fallen over just from wind.

Side note - and this is something I will be updating regularly for my Irish/Scottish/Watermelon-headed brethren - they have sweet fitted hats that look good and fit the giant-headed.

Check it and comment on how you like it. Also, I know LOTS of courses that have nice fatheaded fitted hats that look good. Just let me know ;).

Little Help Over Here?

Dear Unscratchers,

After seeing the results of my FootJoy MyJoy ICONs, I am thinking about doing some MyJoy spikeless shoes for around the clubhouse - and, really, just for wearing around shoes.

So, at any rate, I am asking you guys for some advice.  I am thinking about the FootJoy LoPros in UF Gator colors, what do you think?  And even if you hate the Gators, you must admit that the colors look great.

Golf Update? Nah, Blogger Update!

Dear Unscratchers,

Sorry I've been inconsistent the past couple of weeks with the posts.  I promise that I am back on track.  I guess I was just preoccupied by....... a bun in the oven!  OK, I may look like I have one in the oven but I assure you it is Mrs. Unscratch.  Things were hairy there for a bit - and of course you never know what to expect - but currently things are good and the reviews will keep coming.  Thanks for sticking with me, stay posted for Monday's update!!!
