After
losing to Vijay Singh in a playoff last week, J.L. Lewis blistered a
course record 62 in the final round to get his second career win at
the 84 Lumber Classic of Pennsylvania.
In
Europe they went real low this week with K.J. Choi coming out on top
at the Linde German Masters with a final -26 total. How would you
like to play 4 rounds averaging 6.5 under par.
D.A.

Quote/Joke of the week:
"You've just one problem. You stand too close to
the ball - after you've hit it." - Sam Snead
Tip of the week:
Aim and Alignment:
Poor alignment is a common problem that I too had.
Sometimes we can hit straight pulls and pushes that are solid but
offline even if we are aligned properly. So first of all make sure
that when you are aligned properly, this is not
happening.
Also the eyes are not that reliable for alignment,
especially when we are set up to the ball. I would suggest that you
line up the shot behind the ball and then find something on the
ground about five feet in front of the ball that is on your line.
You can usually find a weed or piece of dirt or something. Sometimes
this is dificult on the course so you want to practise at the range
where you can throw a tee or something as your intermediate target.
By practising this you can "get a feel" for proper alignment and it
will be more automatic. When you set up to the ball, first align
your club to the target, then your feet, and finally your hips and
shoulders. Many people align their club and feet OK but their
shoulders and hips are off. Use a club, or better, have someone else
check your hip and shoulder alignement at setup.
Remember
that your feet and club are about three feet away from each other,
and your club and shoulder alignment are actually more important
than your feet. So concentrate mostly on aligning your shoulders and
the club. Then trust your alignment even if it looks strange from
your eyes when you are set up.
Testimonial:
"I have
used at least seven different gadgets to improve my golf swing. I
have managed to reduce my handicap by 4 over the 6 years I have used
these things. They usually end up in the closet. The LowerScores
Manual is different. It helped me understand what it takes to score
on the golf course. In one season I lowered my handicap by four
more."

Recommended Product:
The
following ebook is a reprinted classic from many years ago, and
still has great relevance today. It is very informative about how to
use your mind effectively to play better, and is also a good read
with quotes from many of the great players of the past. The book
shows you how to make conscious what the great players do
unconsciously.
Subscriber feedback :
Last
week we asked how you think the player of the year should be
determined. The overwhelming majority agreed that the person with
the most money and a major title was the best way. The other options
in order were: most money, most wins, best scoring average, and
winner of the Tour Championship.
