Tour Results, Schedules, and News:

As we basked in a week of beautiful sunshine in the Pacific Northwest the Pga tour was trying to get a tournament in down the coast in rainy southern California. At the time of this writing Chad Campbell and Adam Scott were tied for the lead after 36 holes, with little hope of them getting any more golf in. If they cannot complete, it will be only the fifth time that a tournament had to be called after 36 holes. They would try to get a playoff in to determine a winner, and the same prize money would be awarded, but it would not be an official victory with all the exemptions etc. They also the World Match Play starting on Wednesday, rather than the typical Thursday tournament start.

Mark James topped Hale Irwin and Tom Wargo on the Champions Tour. Thongchai Jaidee defended his title at the European Tour's Malaysian open. Stephen Bowditch won in Australia on the Nationwide Tour.

In other news, Annika Sorenstam filed for divorce this week from her 8 year marriage to David Esch. Some say this may extend her career because she had talked about early retirement to have a family.

Recommended Product:


As a former hypnotherapist and golf professional, I was pleasantly surprised by the book. Not only was it a well referenced good read, but also had very solid, up to date explanations about how hypnosis works. This book really shows us why we have not improved very much in spite of lots of practice. We need to change the subconscious "feel" of our swing, and this book will show you how.
This book is a classic, what a great find!

I wouldn't blame you for being sceptical. I was too until I read this book. The website isn't great and the person who found this great out of print book is not a golf expert, but the book is one of the best I have read. You will find quotes from some of the old golf greats for an entertaining as well as informative read.

My honest goal is to have at least 75% of my subscribers and customers read this ebook, it is that much of a pleasant surprise for me. You have nothing to lose with a full money back guarantee and no shipping costs. Get "Better Golf Using Self-Hypnosis" now.

Tip of the week:

Tips for 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 they 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.
