In this edition:


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:

Kenny Perry won his third tournament in his last four starts with a birdie on the last hole. Perry is brimming with confidence going into the British Open, but so is Ernie Els who had a convincing 5 shot win in Scotland as he prepares to defend his title. Els has five victories around the world this year and has to be the favorite going to Royal St. George's.

The women were in my stomping ground this week for the Canadian Open. They dodged the Sunday rain and Beth Daniel became the oldest winner on the LPGA tour by edging Julie Inkster by one shot. The greens at the Pt. Grey course where I used to work, proved to be tricky and the scores were not as low as expected.

Craig Stadler proved comfortable on the Champion's Tour as he pulled away from Tom Kite, Tom Watson, and Jim Thorpe to win his first major as a Champion's rookie.

Next week the British Open stops at one of the lesser known Open courses and the tournament is wide open. This course should suit just about any of the top player's games, including some of the better European players. Tiger and Els should be the favorites.

Quote/Joke of the week:

"If there are several caddies waiting around for an assignment, I ask them all to add forty-seven plus fifty four. Then I choose the one with the lowest answer." -Bruce Lansky


Tip of the week:

The First Tee:

Everyone wants to get off to good start and unfortunately this can lead to tension on the first tee. Ideally you will have been able to hit some balls before you go to the first tee to help you release some energy and get the feel for hitting the ball. However this is often not possible for the recreational golfer. At the very least take several vigorous swings after doing some warm up and stretching. Then after the vigorous swings let yourself relax for a couple of minutes to let the adrenalin die off. For more first tee warm-up tips click here.

The key once you are ready to get going is to make sure that you build confidence on the first tee by hitting a good shot. Don't be afraid to be ultra conservative off the tee and use an iron if your chances of hitting a good cold shot with a wood is less than 50 %. You are much better off getting a bogie on the first hole than hitting your first shot terribly. Try to stay focussed on that first shot rather than thinking about what your round is going to be like.

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:

"I was very sceptical about the possibility of a short manual making a difference in my golf game. I thought you needed to physically work with a teacher to improve. My friend suggested I get the manual and I tried only two of the strategies in it. What I learned was that scoring is not only physical, and by making two small strategic changes I was able to lower my scores immediately by four strokes. The first round I played was four shots better than my average, and every round since then has been at least four shots better. I am going to start using some of the other eight strategies right away."

Here are some great warm-up exercises for the first tee.



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.
