去年あたりからだろうか、PGAツアーである「スタイル」が流行っている。それは、従来のゴルフの「清潔で紳士のスポーツ」というイメージを根本的に覆すものでもある。
それは「ロンゲ」だ。
特筆すべきはこの２人（日本ではまだまだマイナーだが...）。

ブランド・スネデカーだ。
そう、いまPGAツアーでは「ワイルドな長髪（ロンゲ）」が注目されている。
パッと見、お世辞でも清潔とは言えない。タイガー・ウッズ、ビジェイ、ガルシアなど、ツアーを代表する顔の選手たちは、揃って短髪が多く、彼らの身だしなみは「ゴルフ＝紳士のスポーツ＝保守的」な象徴でもある。
ホフマンとスネデカーのヘアスタイルは「ファンキー」であり「ワイルド」なイメージを観客に与え、従来は保守的なイメージのゴルフ界に新たな風を吹き込んでいる。見ている方からすると、その印象が彼らのプレースタイルとダブり、そして、彼らはどこか「接しやすい」選手になる。さらに、両選手とも２００７年に優勝していて、これからのツアーを引っ張っていく選手としてそのプレーでも注目されている。「過去の概念にとらわれない環境」。これがPGAツアーの醍醐味の一つでもあると思う。
特に、ホフマンのヘアスタイルはどこにいっても指摘されている。試合で彼らを見かけた観客からは多方面から「野次」が飛ぶ。
「おまえ床屋にいった方がいいぞ」
「髪の毛が帽子にくっ付いているみたいだ・・・あいつ、実はヅラなんじゃないか？」
とある大会でティーグラウンドに上がってきたホフマンに対し、７０歳をゆうに越えていたであろうおじいさんはこう言った。
「俺も３５０ヤード飛ばせるなら、髪を伸ばし始めようかな」。言うまでもなく、このおじいさんは綺麗なまでに髪の毛が残っていない。周囲の観客も大爆笑。ホフマンも思わずおじいさんに向かって笑顔を振りまいていた。
彼らにとってそれは「野次」ではなく、「賞賛」であり最高の誉め言葉なのだろう。外見や派手なパフォーマンスは観客を魅了する要素の一つでもある。そう自覚しているからこそ、プレー以外での己のアイデンティティーを探し続けている。
今週の「セント・ジュード・クラシック」が開催されているテネシー州メンフィスはスネデカーの出身でもあり、奮起に燃えている。初日を終えて首位と４打差、１１位タイと好位置。
スネデカーが一躍有名になったのが昨年のビュイック・インビテーショナルで初日「６１」でタイガーら強豪を圧倒したラウンドからだった。結局３位に終わり、シーズン終盤の「ウィンダム・チャンピオンシップ」でツアー初優勝を飾った。
今週の活躍次第では、「ロンゲ」ブームが更に勢いを増すかもしれない。

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
