Lowerscoregolf.com wants to remind you that each year we rate the top ten public golf courses in various states and provinces. We are always looking for ratings from recreational golfers and pros. This year we will be expanding to include Utah, South Carolina, Montana, Idaho, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, and Florida. Please visit the website to rate a course you have played in these or any other areas.


Last Week on the tours:

Jim Furyk put his hat into the growing race for player of the year with a two shot victory over Tiger and others at the Buick Open. Tiger played a near perfect ball striking round and just missed several putts on route to a 66 which was not good enough to catch Furyk. Coming from behind is still not one of Tiger's great strengths. The Us Open champ also missed a few putts, but his 68 kept away many challengers.

In Britain, Annika Sorenstam finally got the last leg of her career grand slam with a slim victory over Se Ri Pak. The Korean women again flexed their muscles with five in the top ten.

Quote/Joke of the week:

"I'll always remember the day I broke ninety. I had a few beers in the clubhouse and was so excited I forgot to play the back nine." - Bruce Lansky


Tip of the week:

Maintaining Concentration:

For recreational golfers especially, this is difficult, because it is also a social game. What makes this more difficult is when you hit bad shots. We lose our focus on the present and start thinking about past and future shots. We start trying to make up for bad shots rather than focussing on the shot at hand.

One of my favorite suggestions for learning concentration is to go play by yourself first thing in the morning with no scorecard. No distractions, no score just each shot without worrying about results. Do this every once in while to learn how it should feel to be fully present and in a state of concentration.

Another valuable method for concentration is to visualize every shot before hit it. Even if you only have to do this while you are walking to the ball, try to see every shot in your minds eye before you actually hit it.




Equipment:

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."

Elliot, Great Britain

Have Arthritis or Joint Pain?

Don't settle for the dangerous side effects of COX-2 inhibitors and NSAIDs. They only treat the pain and do nothing to fight the Arthritis itself. If you or your pet has arthritis, I highly recommend Syn-Flex. The fast-acting high quality liquid formula of Syn-Flex eases your pain, rebuilds your damaged cartilage, protects your joints, and increases mobility. Click here to learn more and get relief from pain. I was unable to work out or play golf without debilitating pain in my shoulders, back, and hips, until Syn-Flex came along. I think it is the best glucosamine/condroitin product on the market.
