I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sick of snow and anything that has to do with it. So, it’s time for a new layout. I may or may not be attempting to add some plugins, etc. I’m sure that will make for an interesting day. Look for the site to be down tomorrow for the bulk of the day!

A few weeks ago I was told about an opportunity from The World Of Golf to review a Taylor Made Burner driver. I was shocked to see that the company was actually going send some of these drivers out to people to test out. I quickly signed up because I have been doing the golf club dance with my husband for a few years now.
By golf club dance I mean pick a partner and stick with it already! When he first started he had hand me down clubs. After learning that he really liked the game he graduated to low end clubs. From then on it has been a sight to watch him slowly replace everything with something more expensive and supposedly a better club. My philosophy was always that it was a golf club and well they all have to hit the same.
When I looked up the actual Burner driver and saw the price range was from $300.00 to $400.00 for one club I thought ok, yeah right. When I got the confirmation email saying the club would be arriving here on my birthday I was excited. I knew my stance was going to be does the price of a club actually give you anything more than something from the local “mart” would.
When I saw the club I quickly started to change my mind. Ok, it is very nice looking. It’s actually really really pretty for lack of a more girly term. I got all excited about how it looked and how big the head was. It has the biggest head I’ve seen on a club so far. I know, the bigger the head the bigger the sweet spot right? That’s what watching the golf channel will do for you.
So I told my husband to get one of his older less expensive drivers that anyone can go out and buy from the store right now and grab the Taylor Made Burner driver and let’s hit the golf course. It was about 10 degrees and we had just had an ice storm that week. We thought we’d hold out for warmer weather, but that just isn’t going to happen anytime soon.
I watched him hit the older driver and I thought eh ok whatever. When he hit the Taylor Made I could tell a difference right off the bat. The sound the club made while hitting the ball told me everything. It was louder which made me think it was going further. In fact it did. It also went straighter. I guess that has something to do with the length of the club. It’s a tad bit longer than all the other drivers we have around here.
Overall I concluded it is worth it. Granted you have the money to spend on a club and you are actually serious about the game. When I say serious I don’t mean you are striving for the PGA this year or anything. I mean you played and you actually enjoy it. I suggest that if you want to play golf you borrow or tag along with someone with clubs already. If you can’t do that start off with a cheaper set.
If you don’t lose interest then it’s worth it to log onto theworldofgolf.com and take a look at the higher end drivers. They look nice, they feel nice, and they actually do help your performance. Take a look at the video of my husband, hopefully you can hear what he’s saying instead of the fierce winds we had to shoot around. He was more than pleased with the difference that this club made!

So if you are living under a rock and have no clue, Survivor Micronesia premiered last night. This season they are pitting the former cast members against fans of the show. In the first challenge the fans beat the former cast members sending one of them home. Jonny Fairplay asked to go home so he could be with his 7 months pregnant girlfriend. Although I’m not sure exactly what his angle is on this yet I’m amazed by two things. The first being that he went home and didn’t want to stay around a few more days just to get America hating him again, for attention purposes. The second thing is that he actually got someone to let him climb on them and make a child, a former America’s Next Top Model contestant at that. She sure has some high standards!

Lately I have been hearing a ton about housing and Commercial Mortgage lending practices. I was actually reading an article about how homeowners are being advised to scoop up the mortgages if they can. Mortgage deals are actually being withdrawn from the market at short notice. The sad thing is that it’s really making the prices of housing soar. Some houses are as much as $14,000 higher than they would normally be. I guess it truly is a sellers market right now!

I’d love to find some juicy news story to write about, but my mind is preoccupied with how crappy this week has been. Wordpress has had a mind of it’s own. Youtube is not far behind it. My head is about to explode. The fact that football season is over and I still have to hear the bullshit on my tv amazes me. Is it better than watching the golf channel? I’m not real sure at this point. If there’s nothing on, our tv directly goes to some sports related show. How about a craft related show? Or better yet, Julio tv, all day, every day? Humm, where are the girl channels at? They need a channel that shows hot men constantly.

Step One…
Decide that you can excel physically at the game of golf and dedicate time to being the best you can be. Don’t forget to keep in mind that you will also need to excel at this game mentally as well because most of the game is a mental battle.
Step Two…
Pick a professional golfer to model yourself after. For the purpose of this post we’re going to go with Justin Rose, a young member of the PGA tour who uses TaylorMade brand golf clubs. After choosing your initial pro golfer to model yourself after you should then purchase some cool golf clothes and clubs to get you started.
Step Three…
As you mature at the game of golf and your interest peaks marry a really cool woman who scores a free TaylorMade Burner driver for you to review. Fall deeply in love, with the driver, and keep if forever. Honestly, I have never seen my husband more happy about something so small.
Ok, it’s not small it is actually very, very long and has a gorgeous head. I’m talking about the TaylorMade Burner Driver that we received from TheWorldOfGolf.com to try out in January. He was so excited that he was willing to go out in February and try that golf club out, no if’s, and’s, or but’s about it. The ground was frozen and the wind was blustery. So much so that unfortunately you hear the wind better than you do him talking. Oh well, one broken tee later from a frozen ground and a numb finger from me shooting the video and he’s found his Valentine this year.
I can’t really thank TheWorldOfGolf.com enough for this little present that arrived on my birthday! Check out the actual Burner and see for yourself what it looks like. Then, check out my video and see how my husband compares it to one of his other clubs. I’ll also be posting his reaction, from our living room, where it is NOT 10 degrees and just recovering from an ice storm later on. I’m going to dig deep into the subject of Whether A More Expensive Club Is Worth It Or Not in that post. Basically I’ll be comparing various priced clubs from a backseat view and letting the world of golfers out there know just what I think about blowing a good chunk of change on something like a golf club.
Stay tuned.
