Ernie Els victory at the WGC Amex Championship allowed him to take over the number two spot in the world rankings. An ailing Tiger Woods was able to finsih in the top ten with his sore back, but still fell to third in the world. Unfortunately, Vijay Singh and Phil Mickelson were six of the top 60 players to pull out prior to the tournament.
Meanwhile back in the States, Fred Funk got his first win since he last won at the same Southern Farm Bureau Classic six years ago.

I have never seen such a clear and concise explanation of how to get rid of a slice the "right way". "The Dave Way" is the right way. I taught golf for years and the number one problem for most mid to high handicappers is a distance robbing slice. Most people just compensate by aiming differently but still cannot enjoy the golf course as much because they hit short weak slices. Then every once in a while, a good straight one comes off the club only to end up in the water or out of bounds. It doesn't have to be that way. In four simple steps you can end your slice and play the course the way it is supposed to be played. Guaranteed! Get "The Dave Way" ebook and say good-bye to your slice forever.

Tips for 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 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.
