Hello my fellow golfers, Eddie Garrison here from Pensacola Florida. I am new to the site and just wanted to post up a new blog on who I am and what I do.
I actually have only been playing golf now for about 10 months (straight) this time but I played when I was a little younger back in 2006 before I had a an injury that forced me to give it up for a while.
So now I am back at it in full "swing" and even back out on the mini tours.
I currently play on a tour called the Gulf Coast Golf Tour that plays all around the southeast US in Florida, Alabama and Mississippi.
Now I am not the greatest golfer out there but I am also not the worst on the tour either. I joined the mini tours seeking competition as I use to play professional hockey and I was just seeking the "dressing room talk" if you will with the guys and playing for something.
And I always have my “real” job as a sports journalist keeping the light bill and mortgagee paid.
We have played 2 events so far this season and I am 12th on the money list earning a whopping $200 so far.
I am not out here for the money (yet), I am out here to try and get better with my game under the ideal circumstances in professional tournament golf.
I hear a lot of guys in the bar or out to eat saying they shot in the low 80's or whatever they shot so I roll on over to them and ask if they would like to play with us in a practice round the next day or whenever.
Of course they oblige as they think we are nobodies. As soon as we make them play from the tips and by the rules, they can’t even break 100.
Always funny to me how people may look at my scores of mid to high 80's and ask how I am on a pro mini tour. Well it’s totally different than playing with your buddies over beers and improving lies, giving each other 2 foot putts and playing 100% by the rules of golf.
So here I am back out traveling the mini tour circuit with the rest of my fellow competitors looking for that perfect round out there.
My next event it this weekend March 19-21 at Blackstone CC in Mossy Head, Fla. I'll be posting another blog after the tournament and let everyone know how I did.

New for 2010: The Nordegren Driver
Featuring technology developed at its Mississippi research facility, Nike Golf has announced their new line of drivers. The club's grip, shaft and head are completely over sized and this model comes with a unique headcover. It extends and protects the entire length of the club to prevent the potential blemishes and discoloration that can occur during and after the course of play.
Nike Golf spokesman Andrew Pinske commented on the new club's design. "With its low facial profile and high torque shaft, this club should help players everywhere avoid those embarrassing short drives that seem to go nowhere as well as drives into trees."
No word yet on when the club will be available for play. "Definitely 2010", was all we could get Nike officials to say.
