Bruce Lietzke scrambled all day but managed to hold on for victory at the US Senior Open. Lietzke did not many greens, but fortunately for him, his playing partner Tom Watson could not make any of a number of makeable putts. Watson finished second for the second year in a row. This was Lietzke's first major championship. On the PGA Tour one of my favorite mental players (David Toms) "smoothed" his way to victory for the second time this year with a tidy 7 under 64 on Sunday. Toms also has two top ten's in the majors, and a second in a World Golf Championship event, putting him sixth on the money list.Nick Price also had a incredible weekend, shooting 65 and 62 to finish second. Annika Sorenstam was in contention going into Sunday, but could only post a 72 on Sunday to finish tied for 14th. Angela Stanford went 65, 67, 65 for the victory.

"A ball will always come to rest halfway down a hill, unless there is sand or water at the bottom." -Henry Beard Hooking and Slicing: Hooking is caused by the clubface rotating over the ball at impact. Often this is caused by too much hand action through the ball, and/or coming too much from the inside and flipping the club. The more closed your stance, the greater the chance of hooking the ball. So if you want to hook, do the above, if not try opening your stance a bit and taking the club back more upright than around your body. Gripping the club a little firmer can also help to get rid of the hook. A slice
is caused by the club glancing off the inside of the ball. It is
most often caused by gripping the club too tight, and coming at
the ball from outside to in. To cure a slice you want to take the
club back more inside or around your body, close your stance slightly,
keep your elbows closer to your body, and loosen up your grip. 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.
