You may have seen that the next 100 subscribers to the LowerScoreGolf Weekly will be entered into a draw for a free driver. Don't worry, those of you who subscribed earlier will also have a separate draw for the same driver. So please forward a copy of this ezine to any friends you think might be interested. The sooner we all get to 100, the sooner the draws will take place. I have decided that this offer will close on June 30th regardless of how many subscribers we get because I want you to have the driver for a good portion of the golf season. If you are receiving this from a friend you can subscribe by using the link at the top of the page or filling the form on the upper left part of the page.

This year's US Open did not generate the interest of the past few years, nor did it generate much excitement on Sunday. However, there were some good stories throughout the week. Jim Furyk was the easy winner, taking his first major title in 32 attempts. On route to his three shot win over Stephen Leaney, Furyk set new scoring records for 36 and 54 holes, and tied the 72 hole mark. All in all it was a very consistent week to put an exclamation mark on a very consistent year. Tiger Woods was in contention until Saturday when he shot a 5 over 75 while everyone else was going low. This is the first time since 1999 that Tiger has not held one major. One has to wonder if he got emotionally burnt out after winning four in row. Few dynasties in any sport can maintain that emotional level for very long. It also seems like Tiger thrives at historic venues like Augusta, Pebble Beach, and St.Andrews. Another favorite, Davis Love did not even make the cut, being 11 over after 36 holes in good scoring conditions. Thursday was also a good day as Tom Watson shot a 5 under 65 to take the day 1 lead at age 53. This was significant as Tom used the exposure to talk about how he trying to help his long time caddy Bruce Edwards, in his fight against the disease ALS. It was an emotional week for both Tom and his caddy. On
the LPGA tour Annika's bid for three in a row came up just short
as she lost in a four way playoff to Rachel Teske. Annika has been
beaten three times by Teske in playoffs.

Caddie: Sometime before dark, I hope. -Melvin Helitzer
Everybody hits bad shots, even the best players in the world. The ability to recover from these shots and not let them snowball into high scores is what differentiates many good players from average players. For the average player one of the critical mistakes I see is trying to make up for a bad shot. Sometimes the pros can pull this off because they have exceptional skill, but for the most part we need to learn how to take our medicine and play within our means. I have seen so many people make their situation so much worse by trying to make up for a bad shot. More often than not you get in worse trouble and would could have a par or bogey save turns into double or triple bogie which is much more dificult to recover from. When you hit a bad shot you usually get into a negative mindset and the adrenalin starts pumping harder. Both of these thigs are not conducive to good golf shots. Under these conditions you are likely to blow a shot that you may even be able to pull of. Therefore, after you hit a bad shot, I suggest playing the absolutely easiest shot you can imagine that will put you in a good position. This does two things: Keeps you out of more trouble, and gives you the experience of hitting a good shot. If you can then stay in the present like we talked about last week, you can greatly prevent more damage to your score and potentially save your round. You can learn much more about this in the Lowerscores Manual. Equipment:
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." Chris, Arizona
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.
