Digital & Mental Reconstruction

I am presently working on rearranging this site a bit, and need a break from posting for a while to sort through some stuff. The goal is to be back by the U.S. Open.

Splitting Hairs

I have a couple of quibbles with the new PGA Tour commercials. As someone who listens to a lot of Celtic music, the music playing in the Padraig Harrington commercial sounds more Scottish than Irish. Also, in Chris DiMarco's commercial, it says no one taught him how to hold a club as the screen shows his well-known claw grip. I'm pretty sure he got that grip from Skip Kendall.

On a side note: Trevor Immelman has what I call rock star eyes; his eyelashes are so dark they look like he's wearing mascara.
