Last
Week on the tours:
For
the second major in a row, a first time winner on tour wins a major.
Shaun Micheel showed great nerve in holding onto his lead with a
solid even par round on Sunday. He finished in style knocking his
approach on 18 to 6 inches. His challenger ended up being another
newcomer to majors, Chad Campbell. Once again, none of the veteran
players in contention could catch the leaders with less experience.
Mike
Weir was poised to lock up player of the year with a win over some
inexperienced front-runners before he bogeyed the first five holes
on his way to another top ten finish. He and Kenny Perry were the
only contenders who finished in the top ten. Meanwhile Tiger had
his worst finish in a major tying for 39th.

Quote/Joke
of the week:
"Ben
(Crenshaw) came to me when he was about eight years old. We cut
off a seven iron for him. I showed him a good grip, and we went
outside. There was a green about seventy-five yards away. I asked
Ben to tee up a ball and hit it onto the green. He did. Then I said,
'Now, let's got to the green and putt the ball into the hole.' Little
Ben asked, 'If you wanted it in the hole, why didn't you tell me
the first time?" - Harvey Penick
Tip
of the week:
Playing
in the wind:
| A
moderate wind will have very little effect on solidly hit ball.
Once the wind becomes more severe, you want to focus on hitting
the ball solidly and slowing down your swing. Even though the
urge is to try and hit the ball harder into the wind, this will
only cause it to have more spin and give you even more trouble.
Into a strong wing take more club and swing easy causing a lower,
less spinning shot. You will get more distance on the ground
from the roll where the wind is not effecting the ball as much.
|
|
Play
for more roll. On shorter shots use the head wind to your advantage
to help you stop the ball on the green.
With
the wind, you also want swing easy and take less club. Take advantage
of the wind on your drives by hitting high lazy shots. Remember
it will be difficult to stop the ball on the green, but swinging
harder on short shots can be a good idea if you take less club.
The harder swing will give more spin to the ball and keep it from
rolling so much after it hits the ground.
Don't
worry too much about side winds. A solid, low side spinning shot
will not be affected much in the air. More people get in trouble
overcompensating for a side wind than if they had just played at
their target. Never give the wind more than ten yards of credit
either way.
Equipment:
Four Ball Putter at a price you won't believe
Synchron Hot Forged Irons, affordable tour clubs.
Fit and feel are the most important aspects when looking for golf
clubs. Technology can help but not if the clubs do not suit you
or your swing. At Pine Meadow Golf you can get custom fit online
with their “custom fit wizard”.
Don't
necessarily get caught up in thinking you must have name brand clubs.
Good quality clones are often made in the same factories with the
same materials, can be customized, and are considerably less expensive.
At Pine Meadow Golf you can get drivers that only have different
printing on them, for $49-$99, steel and titanium. You probably
are using a clone computer, which is the same kind of thing. For
a good overview of the differences and the best deals on factory-direct
golf clubs go to Pine
Meadow Golf.
I
use a driver from PineMeadow and I could use any equipment I want.
Buy a club from them, try it out and if you don't find that it is
as good as any name brand club send it back. They don't get many
returns, and they offer great service to match the low prices.
Testimonial:
"The
service I received after buying the manual was unexpected. Sean
was there to answer all my questions at the drop of an email. My
handicap went from a 14 to an 8 in three months by learning how
to play the golf course instead of being so focussed on how I was
hitting the ball. It is amazing how much my scores can get lower
even though I hit the ball the ball the same as ever."
