Tour results:

There was no "Mickey Mouse" field at the Funai Classic at Walt Disney World. Tiger headlined others like Davis Love III, Vijay Singh, and Jim Furyk. Tiger made a charge with a seven under 65, but Vijay stayed well ahead with a 67 of his own to claim his fourth win of the season. Vijay is making it hard on Tiger to claim the money title and is definitely a front runner for player of the year. With the win Singh vaults past Tiger on the money list and takes ove the number two world ranking.

Sergio Garcia and Padraig Harrington were in contention in Spain this week, but Ricardo Gonzalez shot a 65 for the one shot win on the European tour.

The final full event on the champions tour saw Jim Thorpe go wire to wire to earn his biggest payday ever. He outlasted defending champ Tom Watson by three shots at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. Watson managed to hold off Thorpe for the season money title by $23,000 and wins the Charles Schwab Cup as the top scorer for the season. Watson immediately donated his 1 million dollar prize to organizations to fight ALS which his caddie suffers from.

In other notable news, Se Ri Pak became the first woman to make a thirty six hole cut in a men's pro event. She finished in the top ten in the Korean tour event.

Quote/Joke of the week:

"Talking to your golf ball won't do you any good, unless you do it while your opponent is teeing off." -Bruce Lansky


Tip of the week:

Tracking your game

Tracking your game is not only interesting but can also drastically reduce scores. By keeping track of your fairways hit, greens hit, number of putts, up and downs, and sand saves, you can start to see clear patterns that will show you where to focus your attention on the golf course.

Keeping track of these things does not have to distract you from your game. On each hole simply put a check mark above your score to the left for fairway hit, above right for green hit, below right for number of putts. Then put an "s" for whether or not you went into a greenside bunker. At the end of the round you can tally these stats.

For every one putt see if you were on the green in regulation or you chipped and then one putted. This would indicate a successful up and down, or sand save if you were in the sand. A two or three putt where you missed the green indicates a failed up and down.

Your goal (no matter what your handicap) should be to hit between 8-10 fairways, 10-14 greens, 32 or fewer putts, and 40-50% up and down and sand saves. When you do not reach these goals on a regular basis, you can focus your practice on these areas. Anyone can achieve the above if playing the appropriate tees for their ability. Hitting two more fairways and greens, and shedding two putts per round, can lower your scores by up to ten shots!

Our LowerScores Manual will help you do this and more.

There is also a great tracking/handicap system that is currently on special for 33% off at $19.99 until November 15. Click here for more information.



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.
