Golfer Of The Week
Golfer Of The Week - 4 hours agoAaron HansenWhen people talk about "the good old days" I think what they mean is when they were in high school and could play 54 holes a day in the summer. UNREAL!! Then you grow up. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 5/2/08John DownsIf there's one thing I've learned from doing Golfer of the Week it's that most people learned to love the game from their families and hope to pass that love on. This week is no exception. 2 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 4/25/08Pat TaymanHow do you find a perfect wife? I'm not sure but I DO know that when you find her she'll say things like our Golfer of the Week, Pat. "My husband and I plan to drive to Las Vegas, stopping along the way to play golf and playing golf on the way back." 1 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 4/18/08Denny HardmanHave you ever been so upset with a shot that you hit your next shot 150 yards without looking... FOR EAGLE?! Me neither- but our GoW has. Enjoy! 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 4/11/08Hugh DameI can't imagine a better Golfer of the Week for today than Hugh Dame. He just joined oobgolf this week- and when I saw the picture he attached I knew he was perfect. You MUST see this picture and read his story from Augusta National. 3 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 4/4/08Justin Hill"Undoubtedly, my best golf memory is watching Arnold Palmer's final walk on 18 at Augusta National in 2004. It was my first trip to the Master's and was completely unforgettable." Full profile after the jump. 1 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 3/28/08Matt HauthDid you know there is a major in college for golf? Good thing Matt Hauth our GoW knew. He has a couple great stories to tell from it including almost killing a bishop. 1 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 3/7/08Kevin CaneWe decided to make an Aussie our GoW this week. What that means to us is that we get to read about different dream courses and favorite pros. Kevin also took his picture wearing an oobgolf hat- so that makes him awesome. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 2/29/08John MorrisonYet another Golfer of the Week with a hole-in-one on their resume! When will it be my turn?! Enjoy John Morrison's profile. after the jumps. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 2/22/08Lee CringleOur GoW Lee Cingle was hooked on the game of golf from one of life's simple truths; never let your younger brother beat you at anything. Based on Lee's answers it seems like he's working on that- especially off the tee where he hits bombs. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 2/15/08Deborah DonchessWant to see what 3 years of practice can do for your golf game? Look no further than this week's GoW Deborah Donchess. She almost missed out on golf because of a coin flip- but fortunately she found her way and is now an 11 handicap. 3 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 2/8/08Michael PierreAt oobgolf we love to celebrate the game of golf and its addicted souls regardless of their handicap. I wanted to bring Golfer of the Week out of retirement for Michael Pierre. He's not the next Tiger Woods, but the passion is there. 5 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 1/8/08Need Volunteers For GOWA couple factors have slowed down our weekly Golfer of the Week feature which we run every Friday. The winter seems to have slowed down our volunteers a bit and I've been a little slow to reach out to new members. If you liked to be featured please send me an email at andrew@oobgolf.com. 1 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 11/21/07TurkeyHappy Thanksgiving. Stories will be slow over the next couple days. Enjoy your time off and remember to be thankful. The fact that any of have time or money to golf means we're better off than most. 1 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 11/9/07Rich SzaboRich Szabo, our Golfer of the Week is a great example of how to become a better golfer. He plays whatever balls on sale at K-Mart but hits 500 balls a day at the range. Wait... so it's not the equipment? 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 10/12/07Kevin EIt's a proven fact that when people try to be comedians their Golfer of The Week profiles end up a better read. It even works when the person isn't really funny. I'll let you make your own decision on Kevin E. 2 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 9/28/07Billy MinsonOur golfer of the week is going back to school but don't confuse him with Billy Madison. Billy Minson has a degree and success online- he's just going back for more! Oh- and he plays golf, pretty well, too. 3 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 9/21/07Paul BottingI'm not sure if I'm more jealous that our GoW Paul is Canadian or that he gets to go to Cape Town, South Africa for the next couple of months. The traveling certainly provides some neat golf opportunities. His profile after the jump. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 9/14/07Tim WoodIf you've never read a Golfer of the Week profile before on oob- please start with this one. Tim has some crazy stories- almost too good to be true, including consecutive hole-in-ones and a blow up hole like I've never seen! 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 9/7/07A One Year Look BackGolfer of the Week has been a feature we've run every Friday on oobgolf for one year. I thought it'd be fun to take a look back at some of the guys from the beginning- who were GoW's when only 200 people read the site. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 8/31/07Daniel GuzmanDaniel Guzman plans to play St. Andrews when he can break 80... or when he turns 60- whichever comes first. His game isn't there yet, but he's starting to take the game more seriously. We hope he gets there! 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 8/24/07Peter PashoOur Golfer of the Week is new to the game- but quickly improving. His last time out he shot a 99 which was his best score ever. Plus he breaks clubs- so ... he's already learning the finer points of the game. 1 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 8/17/07Phil BuffaOur GOW started playing golf after college and has quickly picked up the game. He carries a 12.3 handicap and is a big-time lawyer in NYC. AND- when he can get out to play, NYC resident rates get him on Bethpage Black for $35. 1 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 8/10/07Patrick HendersonBased on the picture from our Golfer of the Week Patrick Henderson- it looks like he knows how to have fun. I'm also a bit worried about the future of my children. Patrick's full GOW- profile after the jump. 3 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 8/3/07Alexander HouserThey play golf in Germany? They do and we found our Golfer of the Week there. Alex is relatively new to the game and already posting good scores and playing tourneys. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 7/27/07Beth OrsayBeth Orsay runs her own website and plays golf weekly inside the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Running a website must equal the good life- she has time to play 3 times a week. Maybe I need to talk to her for some tips. 5 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 7/20/07Jason SchnatterHis rocker name is simply "J" and Jason doesn't let us down. He is a golfer, he's a father and he's a rockstar (soon maybe). His profile is after the jump and includes some music while you read. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 7/13/07Dan LeeAnyone who can go on a "golf binge" and describe his favorite golfer, Ernie Els, as "smooth like Jager" is cool in my book. Check out Dan Lee's very entertaining answers to our questions after the jump. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 7/6/07Douglas FordhamOur Golfer of The Week Doug Fordham loves Brad Faxon. The only answer I didn't extract from him is why that is. Nonetheless- another great GOW for you to check out. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 6/29/07Tom GoyneOur Golfer of the Week Tom Goyne knows time management. He runs his own blog, plays golf a couple times a week and still has time to be a doctor. Actually, that could explain the 40 minute wait when I'm perfectly on time... hmmm. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 6/22/07Ryan ReesHow do you make a positive out of a not so great situation? If you're our Golfer of the Week Ryan Rees- you take an injury that slows work, and turn it into golf 3-5 times a week. Plus- he owns and built the company, he deserves it! 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 6/15/07Lucas BonstromI hate guys like Lucas. He has a great job, a great golf game and even a great proposal story. Some people have it all... they make it hard for the rest of us. Check out Lucas' full profile after the jump. 2 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 6/8/07Eric JohnsenThis week's golfer resides in Blacksburg, VA. What I like about Eric is his confidence. He knows he hits the ball well, and knows where he needs to impove to get himself to single digits with his handicap. My guess is he will be there soon enough. 1 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 6/1/07Matt BillsOur Golfer of the Week this time around is a frequent oob contributor, Matt Bills. I know him personally- and I must say, he swings like Michelle Wie. Take that how you want. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 5/25/07Allen BrownThe awesome thing about oobgolf is it brings in golfers of all skill levels with the unifying trait being they are addicted to the game. This week's GoW won't knock your socks off with his game- but he's one heck of a good time to cruise the course with. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 5/18/07John DalyOur Golfer of the Week is John Daly. Not THAT John Daly- but our John Daly is just as fun (minus the $10M gambling debts). Check out his full profile after the jump. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 5/11/07Richard PurpuraRich has been playing golf for almost a year now- over in Japan.

You won't want to miss his hole-in-one story. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 4/19/07Jeremy HartJeremy lives in Blacksburg, Virginia. Instead of telling you how great he is, he wanted us to to remind everyone to support the Virginia Tech community by wearing Orange and Maroon on Friday. It's a pretty cool idea sweeping the nation. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 4/13/07Kris EszlingerThis week's GOW plays golf once a week in San Diego and has a 10 handicap. Maybe I need to do what he does for a living. Let's see... Website marketing company?... KRIS- call us! Check out his profile after the jump. 0 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 4/6/07Justin McCrackenJustin McCracken is a "Poster Child" for oobgolf and how tracking your game can benefit. When he first started entering scores- he was around a 3 handicap. He has slowly climbed up our leaderboard and now sits in 2nd overall on the site at -0.4. 3 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 3/30/07Josh IvesHow do you define a great shot? Is it driving the green on a par 4 or coming within inches of ending your boss's ability to reproduce? Josh Ives, our Golfer of the Week couldn't decide either! Check out the full interview and enjoy! 6 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 3/23/07Patrica HanniganThis weeks Golfer of the week is another golf blogger. Patrica Hannigan is The Golf Girl.

Golfer Of The Week - 3/2/07Tim BradleyAnother young gun gets our Golfer of the Week honor. At 24, he holds a great job, plays to a 14 handicap and thinks Jim Furyk is kinky (Did I get that right?). 2 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 2/23/07Barry CahoonBarry Cahoon is recently retired. That makes me jealous of him in two ways- 1) He plays golf two times a week, and 2)He spends another 10-12 hours a week on the range working around the green. 1 comments more... Golfer Of The Week - 2/16/07Aaron O'NeilSomeone out in California needs to take this guy under their wing. He's playing too many golf video games and not enough of the real thing.

Golfer Of The Week - 12/8/06David LangdonHe's going to be a lawyer- so I'm sure his game will improve.
