Shigeki Maruyama got his third PGA Tour title this week cruising to a five shot win at the Chrysler Classic of Greensboro. He becomes the fourth player on tour to win at least one event in each of their last three seasons. He joins Tiger Woods, Jim Furyk, and Justin Leonard with this distinction.

At Wentworth, Ernie Els won his record tying fifth World Match Play title and $1.67 million dollars, with a victory over Thomas Bjorn. The day previous he clobbered Vijay Singh 5 and 4 for the well deserved victory.

Craig Stadler got his third title of the year and continues to enjoy the Champion's Tour. He is having a great year including his win on the PGA Tour this season.

Quote/Joke of the week:

"Someone once told me there was more to life than golf. I think it was my ex-wife." -Bruce Lansky

Tip of the week:

Visualizing your shot
All great athletes know how to use visualization to enhance their performance. It is well known that the body cannot tell the difference between reality and imagination. Therefore using visualization to help your body perform is vital for peak performance.
For golf there are two ways you can visualize. The first is to play the shot in your mind in as much detail as possible from the moment of sweet contact to the ball flight, and after it hits the ground. The second is to actually see yourself swinging and hitting the ball.
Now you are not always going to get the result you visualize, but studies show that if you can keep extraneous mental activity out of the way, the body will create the result you are looking for. This of course is the difficult and the book on self-hypnosis that I recently came across can help you achieve this.

Testimonial:
"I have used at least seven different gadgets to improve my golf swing. I have managed to reduce my handicap by 4 over the 6 years I have used these things. They usually end up in the closet. The LowerScores Manual is different. It helped me understand what it takes to score on the golf course. In one season I lowered my handicap by four more."

Dean, Florida

Golf equipment and training aids:

The best golf equipment does not have to break the bank. I use clone golf clubs from Pinemeadow Golf, and I have used many name brands. Custom clubs that fit your game is the way to go.

The best site I have seen for golf fitness is here for having the most golf specific programs for all season. There are also great pre-game stretching routines. Too many people neglect the stretching and fitness components of golf and it can really affect your scores. Use every advantage you can go to Golf Fitness now.

As seen on the Golf Channel and major magazines.

This revolutionary program will train your mind to better golf in minutes! Justin Leonard and Roger Clemens know.

Using Self-Hypnosis to improve your game on the course is something every tour pro does even if they do not know it. Here is a classic book that will show you how you have already used it, and how you can use it to your advantage.

Who is Player of the Year anyway?:

For the first time in five years, someone else besides Tiger Woods is in the running for player of the year. Ernie Els started the PGA Tour season with two straight wins. Since then he has won several times around the world, but no other PGA Tour events. If it was world player of the year, he would be a lock.

Mike Wier won the first major of the year and then two more solid wins with many top five showings. But he has struggled in the second half. Then Kenny Perry got hot, Jim Furyk won a couple including the US Open, and Vijay Singh is neck and neck with Tiger Woods for the money title. Then there is also Davis Love III who has won multiple times including some big events. All Tiger has done is win five times and lead the money list again. His wins include two World Golf events, but no majors.

So who is it going to be? Well, we have to wait a few weeks for the Tour Championship which the players are really kind of burnt out for anyway. But if Tiger wins he is undoubtedly going to claim the honor. In my opinion the only others who have a chance are Weir and Furyk because of their major victories amidst otherwise good years. Personally, I think it should be determined by the most money per event with a minimum number of events being played (at least fifteen). If we use this criteria Tiger or Weir should take it, but Weir pretty much has to win the Tour Championship as he did a couple of years ago.
