Get Ready, Twitter — Here Comes Kevin Na. Well, Maybe. No, Wait. Yes… No! Maybe… Yes!
If you caught any golf on the tube or online today you couldn't miss the new trending topic of the PGA: Golfer Kevin Na and his unbelievable 5-minute pre-shot routine, where he practice swings, backs away, practices a few more times, then even maybe throwing in a full-swing miss over the ball (which is apparently legal) and then backing off again, practicing some more and then... finally...

Viddy Lands $30m in Series B-Is it the next Instagram?
Viddy, an increasingly popular mobile video app developer has closed an impressive round of funding with a deal that raised $30 million from industrial investors, a sum that matches its 30 million registered users. This is the second round of funding with Viddy closing its Series A last February after raising $6 million in a round that was led by Battery Ventures and included Qualcomm and Read More>>
Will Darlington’s Walls be a Factor in the Bojangle’s Southern 500 ?
Sometimes it is good to listen to the announcers, although I am pretty sure none of the drivers in last week’s Sprint Cup race at Talladega were in a position to do so, at least those that were still left on the track as the race had its final green flag for an overtime sprint to the checkered flag.. If the drivers had that luxury front runner Matt Kenseth, who shot out into a big lead Read More>>
Friday Grab Bag: Are Replacement Refs in the NFL’s Future?
Mashable does a nice job showing how fast eight technologies have penetrated the US market since the telephone was patented in 1876. The speed upon which each succeeding generation of technology grows is interesting as many of them piggybacked on older technology. I mean you cannot have these technologies until electricity reached all of the country. I was interested to see how relatively Read More>>
SensoGlove Provides Digital Feedback to Golfers
I love sports gadgets, even ones for sports that I no longer play such as golf, hence the attention to issues such as watches that tell me where I am on the course or ski goggles that show me how high my last jump was. I have somehow missed the digital golf glove called SensoGlove from a company called Sensosolutions, based in Aachen, Ger. The glove addresses an issue that can plague golfers, Read More>>
Will the Facebook App Center be a Boon to Sports App Developers?
The list of places that you can go and search for the app that scratches your most current itch has just gotten one stop longer as Facebook has formally launched its latest service that it is calling the App Center. What makes the site look like it might have real legs is that it is not just focused on one operating system or platform, but rather seeks to be a one stop shop for the Mobile Web, Read More>>
Watching Golf this Week: The Players Championship
As we said earlier in the week, it's all about the island green 17th hole at The Players Championship, aka the "fifth major." I still don't agree with that sentiment since to me the whole Pete Dye railroad ties-thing seems like mini golf. Plus, there is absolutely no tradition behind The Players equal to that of the heritage of the U.S. Open or British Open, or the grandeur of Bobby Jones' idea, Read More>>
Will NFL Concussion Issues Drive Athletes to Other Sports?
If you are a fan of the NFL, or really just football in general, you cannot have avoided the ongoing debate on concussions-an issue that was recently brought once again to the forefront with the tragic death of former NFL star Junior Seau. I am in no position to say how this should be handled but I am curious if it will have an impact on the sport by driving multi-tool athletes to head to other Read More>>
