In this edition:
Tiger Woods once again showed that he is not one to make Sunday charges. He got himself in contention again but for the second time in a World Golf Championship event, Darren Clarke came out on top. Clarke played a beautiful under par round when the challengers were all hovering around par at the hard and fast Firestone Country Club. At the Reno-Tahoe Open for the players who did not qualify for the WGC tournament, Kirk triplett fired a final round 63 to take the victory over Tim Herron by three shots. Triplett took home $540,000 for the victory. How about former major league pitcher Rick Rhoden on the Champion's Tour. He led the tournament at one point and ended up tied for fifth with the likes of Tom Kite and Doug Tewell, and ahead of Hale Irwin and Ben Crenshaw. Rhoden who has been a veteran of the celebrities Tour challenged Don Pooley into the back nine before Pooley pulled ahead for the win. This was only Rhoden's second appearance on this tour. On the LPGA Tour Candy Kung took the victory as she led the Korean women to five spots in the top ten.

First
Golfer: I got some new golf clubs for my wife. Long Putts: The key on the long putts is always speed. You are rarely going to make a put of ten feet or more (even the pros make a low percentage of these), so you want to make sure that you are close to the hole for the next one. Speed is even more important than line on the longer putts especially if the break considerably. People don't practice long putts enough. A good way to do this is to practice before your round on the practice green. Stand at one end and putt balls to the farthest fringe, the goal being to get it as close to the fringe line as possible. By hitting to the fringe instead of a target you focus only on the speed. It doesnt hurt to practice your shorter putts like this as well. You then leave the green to your round without the possible frustration of missing several putts on the practice green before your round.
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. These are the clubs I use, and I could any brand. 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." Elliot, Great Britain
