Be the Number
You may not hit the ball like Sergio or Retief -- a couple of TaylorMade Golf's pro endorsees -- but now you can emblazon your TP golf ball with the two-digit voodoo code of your choice, just like the big-boys. Sure, you can carry a Sharpie like the rest of the peons, or pick a number from 00 to 99 and personalize the dimpled spheroid.
Just hop on over to the My TP Ball website, pick a number and order yourself a couple dozen pre-mojo'd balls in any of TaylorMade's various flavors --high or low spin-rate, distance versus feel, etc. Also comes in handy when some stooge picks up your ball on an adjacent fairway, claiming it as his own. Give him your name, rank and TP number and watch him start to sweat. Civility, comrades -- 'tis the game of gentlemen!
About this blog
A Detroit native, David Weiss fled Motown for Los Angeles in 1978 and began to write for Daily Variety and the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, primarily as a music critic with a focus on jazz. His own music career started soon thereafter, with the surrealistic funk band Was (Not Was), then various gigs as a composer and producer, working with Bob Dylan and Rickie Lee Jones among others. In a parallel universe, Weiss has been filing golf and travel stories for T&L Golf, Golfweek and The New York Times and is a regular contributor to NPR's "Day to Day" program, doing stories on music and all things cultural.
