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

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.
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:
"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.
