Video: Billy Horschel Does Google Glass

Thanks to social media guru Robert Andrade for Tweeting this YouTube video of PGA Tour winner Billy Horschel being the first pro golfer to show you what their view is like via Google Glass.

Sherman's Look At Golf Channel's Player-Analysts

I know as Golf World subscribers you've already opened your magazines or your digital editions to Ed Sherman's behind-the-scenes look at Golf Channel's player-analysts, but just in case you haven't seen it here's the link.

Sherman has all sorts of fun behind-the-scenes detail and info on the cast of characters who, because of golf's longevity, are the expert analysts even though they haven't won majors.

The story also features backstage images from Bob Croslin and Dom Furore.

Oh, and you get to find out how much money they make! Only in Golf World!

Charlie Rose asks Greg Norman if he would give up some of his money for more major wins and the Great White Shark says "not at all," then cites the outcrying of support he's had over the years over his losses has made him the businessman he is today.

As always Norman is engaging, defends Tiger's soft mattress-induced back issues, and talks briefly about Tiger losing his intimidation factor.

“I think the longer the time goes by with him not doing it, the harder it's going to be,” Norman said.

Robert Lusetich noted Norman's repeat of previous comments in this account of Tiger's opening round at The Barclays which took only 11 hours to complete thanks to weather delays.
