    Greetings from Orlando, 20 degrees as we head down for some breakfeast.
    Still doesn't beat a quick round around Corballis ;)

    They call it the Major of Golf Business... I just call it golf p*rn :)

    I'll throw up a few photos as the day goes on, if anyone wants me to check out anything in particular then let me know.... The award for the craziest stand yesterday went to some poor chap that thinks his millions will be made from his "glow in the dark flagsticks"... That's Merica for you.

    I'll throw up some more pics as the day goes on! Just so you'll hate me a little bit more. Off to Bay Hill later on too. :D
    Anyway, got to go and have more fun work, here's me, cheesey grin and all.

    Weather nice for a game here this week.

    A hover board and game golf, glow in the dark flags, a club 6 feet high for a hot face, playing golf in your house.

    I cant take it anymore, the way this game is going - enjoy.

    Hope you dont go to a wine bar.

    Ah come on ParLANCE ..... where's the girls?

    and as for standing on a surf board for 4 hours, I'd imagine that would be a treat in Stackstown on a windy day :eek:

    More photos peas and enjoy :)

    I'll post some pics of my friends the "Caddy Girls" later on. I've told them to PM the Boards Society lads... They would brighten up a rainy day in Laois ;)

    I was chatting to Donal(GCD) for a bit, another sound Mayo man :)

    Don't worry we got a few "rounds" in with the caddy girls ;) no pics I'm afraid but http://www.thecaddygirls.com/ gives you a flavour.

    Here's a promo video that gives a taste of the show
    http://youtu.be/KV0djkuXrVo

    They had an indoor range at one end of the 400,000 sq ft room. Each brand had a bay and all had either Trackman, GC2 etc. Spent a while down there ;)
    It was my first time seeing my stats, for someone that wasn't into all that stuff previously, I think I'm converted.
    Once I got over the shock of only having an 84mph swing that was.... The guy from Wilson said that was good for a 6 iron.... I hadn't a clue.... I thought it should be in the 90's but was told that was with a driver. A 7 year old girl started hitting beside me and as soon as she did I retired. She was driving it 160y and as straight as an arrow.

    I also managed to blag my way into a short game comp too, it was supposed to be only for PGA teaching pros! I finished in the top 20% of scores on there. I think that allows me to comment on the swing thread now :)

    Here's a few more pics taken by myself, didn't take enough of them really.

    Can't embed the photos but last on is of GMac & John McGuire (game golf) chatting on the main stage. Missed the live interview but they had it on replay.

    Didn't get that either :(

    Have no photos of the ladies, was sick of them asking me to be in their photos tbh :)

    I think you know him ;) Golfgraffix.

    This was probably one of the coolest things there, a virtual green that can change shape/slope etc in seconds.
