PGATOUR.COM is in the final stages of developing and testing an exclusive FREE live shot tracking application that will let you follow your favorite golfer and the tournament shot by shot. We’re asking golf fans like you to participate in testing the application and give us feedback via a survey and on our blog. This is your chance to help shape the final version of the application.

Heres a first view of the application:

I’m on my way to the airport right now, so I can’t give this a thorough examination, but maybe you give it a shot to follow the action at the Colonial (Alex Cejka is leading the tourney after 9 holes? WTF?).

Yesterday I went out for a quick 9 holes after work at GC Pankow, playing the back nine of the course. And on the last hole, a 148m par 3, a strange thing happened for the second time this year.

The hole plays towards the clubhouse and to the right side of the green you find the caddymasters barn. Pushing my 7 iron off the tee, I managed a direct hit into the side wall of the barn. I found my ball some 2 meters in front of the wall, but had a direct line onto the green. A gentle chip with the lobwedge left me a 1,5 meter putt that I was able to convert for par.

As I said, this was the second time already this happened to me. I’ll open up a new category for that, the barn-par.
