Last
Week on the tours:
Count
on Tiger woods to end a so called slump in style. He lapped the
field in Tiger fashion at The Western Open. Rich Beem went low and
still could only get within 5 of a Tiger who was finally making
some putts.
On
the women's tour everybody was just trying to survive on the difficult
Pumpkin Ridge setup. In spite of being over par, the leaders Hillary
Lunke and Angela Stanford held on to end in a tie with Kelly Robbins
(one of the few under par for the day). Annika Sorenstam struggled
with the flu and her putter to finish one behind the leaders. Tomorrow
the three leaders will tee it up for a full 18 hole playoff.

Quote/Joke
of the week:
"I
used to play golf with a guy who cheated so badly that he once had
a hole-in-one and wrote down zero on his scorecard." -Bob Bruce
Tip
of the week:
Hitting
the ground before the ball:
Hitting
the ground before the ball, or "fat shots" is a very common
problem that can lead to injury. This is caused by either coming
into the ball too steeply, and or decelerating the club head as
you hit the ball.
Proper
weight shift is important (see
tips page) and keeping your right shoulder back on the downswing
(opposite for left handers) is crucial. There is a tendency to throw
the right shoulder ahead as you come down creating an outside in
steep club path. Focus on swinging more around your body to remedy
this. A good drill is to strap your upper arms to your body and
hit balls. This makes it impossible to throw the shoulder forward.
Don't
forget to accelerate through the ball. When you slow down at the
bottom of your swing, you will hit it fat every time.
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:
"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."

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.
