Tour Results, Schedules, and News:
The European lead going into the Sunday singles was insurmountable at the Ryder Cup. The U.S. team came out strong and built early momentum making it look like a come-back was possible, but the Europeans proved too strong down the stretch. This was the largest margin of victory the Europeans have ever had in Ryder Cup history, and the rout started on Friday. The Europeans always seem to have the edge in the team play on the first two days, but they also dominated the singles matches on Sunday for their seventh win in the last ten Ryder Cups.
Annika Sorenstam failed in her attempt to three-peat at the Safeway Classic finishing two back of Hee-Won Han, who won in a three way playoff.
Craig and Kevin Stadler will take on Annika Sorenstam and Grace Park in the 2004 Kraft/Nabisco Shoot-Out in Boise, Idaho, Monday, Sept. 20. The Golf Channel will broadcast the nine-hole match-play charity exhibition from 4:30 – 7 p.m. ET. All four players are having exceptional seasons, with three of them winning major championships

Recommended Product: Put an end to joint pain

How my Arthritis began Since I was a child I had always been an athlete. I played contact sports like football and hockey, and I golfed a lot. In my thirties my body started paying me back. I was a golf pro at the time and had to cut my career short because I could no longer walk the golf course due to arthritis pain in my hips. The arthritis also got into my hands so that it hurt everytime I swung the club. If I was able to get around the course with the use of pain killers and anti-inflammatories, I would be in bed for the rest of the day. I began trying some Glucosamine and Chondroitin products which over time did help somewhat with the stiffness, but did little for the pain. When I finally found Flexicose, within three weeks I experienced complete arthritis pain relief, after about eight years of trying. The difference was that it contained MSM and a few other natural anti-inflammatories, and comes in liquid form making it more absorbable. Now I run 3 miles every second day, golf at will and play with daughter everyday. Why Flexicose is the best choice The most important thing about Flexicose, aside from its 14 arthritis and joint pain fighting ingredients and complete 1,500 mg of liquid glucosamine per dose, is the method of delivery. Most of the glucosamine you buy is in pill form. Flexicose is different. Unlike pills that must be dissolved in your body before they can start working, Flexicose has been specially formulated for maximum absorption – something that no pill can claim. Because it’s a liquid, Flexicose goes straight to your joints and is completely absorbed. Compare that to pills that sometimes only offer a 10 – 20% absorption rate which is why they will generally take longer (a month or more) for you to start seeing arthritis pain relief. Flexicose takes 1 - 2 weeks for most people to notice a reduction in joint pain, and many people will notice increased flexibility within the first week or so. For more advanced cases, it may take up to a month. Remember, Flexicose is repairing your joints instead of just covering up pain, and just how a cut cannot repair itself overnight, give Flexicose a fair amount of time to work. I know it can give you relief from arthritis pain and they back it with their 30 day money back guarantee, already low price, and free U.S. shipping. Lastly, Flexicose is affordable. Flexicose costs just $29.95 a bottle, and they have implemented a quantity discount of $10 off every 3 bottles and included FREE U.S. shipping on every order. With Flexicose, you will *never* get to the shopping cart and then after you have spent minutes entering in all your information be told at the last second that you must pay $5, $7 or more for shipping. Shipping is completely free with Flexicose, and you can even decide to sign up for their auto-ship program to ensure a continual supply of Flexicose arrives right at your door step the moment you need more. |
Tips for Hitting out of a greenside bunker:
Many amateurs are nervous when they end up in a bunker and can't understand why the tour players would rather play from a bunker than the rough around the green. With the following tips and some practice to build confidence, you will feel the same way.
The absolute key to hitting from a bunker is to have a smooth swing. Do not stab at the ball and do not stop your swing when you hit the ball. Take the club up and imagine your swing is "V" shaped, rather than going back low. Make sure to dig your feet in to get good traction and when you swing keep your lower body more still than you normally would. Aim for a spot about two inches behind the ball and come down smoothly but a little more steeply than normal. It is then critical to follow through and finish your swing. Don't be afraid to take lots of sand as the ball is being carried on the sand. Trying to pick the ball on a short bunker shot can be disastrous.
At setup open your stance a little and open your club face a little, of course you have to aim appropriately when you do this. To control the distance, vary the length of your backswing, not your follow through. If you have a longer bunker shot don't be afraid to trade the sand wedge for a pitching wedge, or even an eight or nine iron. Using the same technique will give you more distance and still get lots of spin. In fact the harder you swing from the sand the higher the ball will go and the more spin you will get.
