MVP Health Care is sponsoring a Youth Lacrosse Clinic with Gary Gait this year, held at Siena College. One of the most icon players of the game, will be taking time out of his busy schedule with the Syracuse Woman’s Lacrosse team to teach youngsters the skill of the game. I was privileged to help MVP with the online form registration again this year; feel free to check out the site KidPower!

Once again I am fortunate enough to attend another game at the old Meadowlands. If rumors are true, they are building a bigger and better stadium right next door that will literally dwarf the old. It has been 2 years since my last visit, when the Giants hosted the Atlanta Falcons and I was lucky enough to be sitting only 3 rows back from the infamous Micheal Vick. Now besides all the convictions he went thru, the man had some serious talent and I found myself rooting for him and his 25 yard playaction roll-outs. With the defending NFC champions in town this Sunday the Giants will have to bring their losing anger after last weeks shlacking by the Saints. I’ll post some picks when I get back…and by the way, go Yanks!

One little thing that Golf teaches you is self-discipline; either you play the game or the game plays you. After 54 holes of the PGA Championship, the game seemed to be eating away at Tiger; shots were long, putts were misjudged, and clubs were tossed. As an avid golfer myself I can relate, yet for Tiger much more is on the line. Now I ask you golf enthusiast this, can the game actually be beat or is it just a battle with yourself?

Since the game has been improving over the past few weeks, thanks to the new arsenal, I have decided to step up to the tee with the newly designed Callaway Tour ix golf ball.

Although my confidence is high and my game is on, I just can’t help myself from those 4 intricate layers that supply me with just the right Tungsten-infused distribution that I need to keep drivin’ for show and puttin’ for dough!

1 ball cost $4.14 (tax incl.)

After hitting (no joke) 10 different, New ‘09 and ‘08 models; I have found one club that supercedes the field. The Callaway FT-5 will be sitting next to the Ping G5’s this season…I’ll let you know how they get along.

Callaway FT-5 Driver = $160

Ping G5 Irons = $399

Footjoy Contours = $80

…thriving off your friends hate for your talent…priceless!

It’s official…the upcoming 2009 golf season is here and what better way to start things off then with a new fully customized set of Ping G5 irons. After many seasons playing with hand-me-down clubs; I found it’s time to invest.

Ping G5 (3 - PW)

 * White - 3 degree upright

 * +1/2″ length extenstion

 * +1/32″ Gold Color Code Grip

 * AWT Stiff Shafts
