Trending: Star Wars golf

Today marks the 35th anniversary of the original Star Wars movie, or for those of who insist on recognizing the cash extravaganza prequels, Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. Star Wars is as iconic a brand as any of the last 35 years, and like every facet of our culture, golf has not remained untouched by the marketing blitz that has become synonymous with the movie. A quick jaunt around the internet will offer golf bags, head covers, balls, and even a fan fiction Jack Nicklaus Computer Golf Support Board. In fact, you can customize just about any golf utility or clothing item with something from the Star Wars lineage. Luckily, the video results are just as rewarding.

Zach Johnson playing for himself and caddie at Colonial

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Among the elements that make up the complex formula of championship golf is the relationship between the player and his caddie. For years now, Zach Johnson and Damon Green have enjoyed the kind of honesty and mutual respect that leads to winning golf, as it did when Johnson took home the green jacket at the 2007 Masters. Now, that bond has grown stronger as they share the death of Green's father. On the Sunday evening of the Players, soon after Johnson made a 30-foot birdie putt on No. 18 that was the difference between finishing T-2 or fifth at TPC Sawgrass, Green jumped in his car and drove the 360 miles from Ponte Vedra Beach to Pensacola for one last chat with his father, Rev. Douglas Brooks Green, before he passed away the following Thursday from stomach cancer. "I got there at 11:30 and we stayed up until about 2 just talking," Green said Thursday at Colonial CC after Johnson shot 64 in the opening round of the Crowne Plaza Invitational. "He got to see the telecast [of the Players] and got to see the hat." The hat was the one Damon wore at TPC Sawgrass that said: "Love Mom and Dad." Green's mother, Ruth, is 90 years old. "Dad was 88," Green said. "He had 87 good ones." Photo by Getty ImagesJust one week after his father passed, Green was back at work. "It was tough," he said, "but I thought it would be a lot tougher with everyone coming up and offering their condolences. But I am at ease as much as possible with it because I know he is in a better spot. I know he's up there. He was in pain the last few days."

Two days ahead of U.S. Open, McIlroy to be honored with bobblehead and first-pitch duties at Giants game

Rory McIlroy doesn't appear to be lacking confidence, not in a week in which he told the media he "certainly believes" he's the best golfer in the world. But just in case the defending U.S. Open champion was in need of an ego boost, the San Francisco Giants announced yesterday that it'll give away Rory McIlroy bobbleheads at its Irish Heritage Night on June 12.From a marketing perspective, the promotion seems like a "home run." Two days after the promotion, the 2012 U.S. Open will be contested at nearby Olympic Club in San Francisco. We gather that's a good way to boost interest for the casual golf fan in the Bay Area. So what if the bobblehead looks little like the curly-haired 2011 U.S. Open winner? McIlroy doesn't seem to mind. "The Bobblehead might be a little better looking than me, which is nice," McIlroy quipped when asked about the promotion after his round at the BMW PGA Championship. We wonder if his star tennis girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki agrees. Related: McIlroy named Golf World's No. 1 Newsmaker of 2011 Does McIlroy, from Belfast, Northern Ireland where he certainly grew up keeping an eye on soccer and rugby over the MLB, even care for baseball?He seems to be warm enough to the idea, probably more so for the sake of the U.S. Open. He says he'll have some friends from the San Francisco area there to watch him, too. McIlroy seemed to be practicing for his date on the mound during the first round of the BMW PGA as he tossed a club in disgust on the 12th hole Thursday. "Obviously throwing the first pitch at a baseball game [is] something I've never done before," he said. "Just need to start practicing. I don't really want to make a fool of myself." --Stephen Hennessey
