Tour Results, Schedules, and News:
Vijay Singh is poised to make ten million dollars this season, and could conceivably win ten tournaments. His win this week at the 84 Lumber Classic was his third straight and 8th of the year, holding off a charging Stewart Cink who fired a Sunday 65 to fall short by one shot. Tiger Woods was a late scratch for the tournament citing exhaustion after the Ryder Cup. One wonders if he can compete with Singh at this point. Vijay's $9,455,567 is already a tour record, and with the number of tournaments he plays and a couple big money events left, he is a lock for ten million, and don't bet against him to win two more before the year ends.
Craig Stadler is almost as hot. He had six birdies in nine holes on Monday when he and son Kevin won a exhibition against Annika Sorenstam and Grace Park. He pulled off a second win of the week with a blowout victory at the SAS Championship on the Champion's Tour. This was his fifth win of the year.
Phil Mickelson has pulled out of this week's American Express Championship for personal reasons. Unfortunately, top players pulling out of this tournament is a common occurence when it is held overseas.

As
a former hypnotherapist and golf professional, I was pleasantly
surprised by the book. Not only was it a well referenced good read,
but also had very solid, up to date explanations about how hypnosis
works. This book really shows us why we have not improved very much
in spite of lots of practice. We need to change the subconscious
"feel" of our swing, and this book will show you how. Every great golfer uses self-hypnosis even if they don't know it, or wouldn't call it that. Not only can you make great golf an unconscious reflex, but you can improve any aspect your life.

Tips for Aim and Alignment:
Poor alignment
is a common problem that I too struggled with. Sometimes we can hit straight
pulls and pushes that are solid but offline even if we are aligned properly.
So first of all make sure that when you are aligned properly, this is
not happening.
Also the eyes are not that reliable for alignment, especially when we
are set up to the ball. I would suggest that you line up the shot behind
the ball and then find something on the ground about five feet in front
of the ball that is on your line. You can usually find a weed or piece
of dirt or something. Sometimes this is difficult on the course so you
want to practise at the range where you can throw a tee or something as
your intermediate target. By practicing this you can "get a feel"
for proper alignment and it will be more automatic. When you set up to
the ball, first align your club to the target, then your feet, and finally
your hips and shoulders. Many people align their club and feet OK but
their shoulders and hips are off. Use a club, or better, have someone
else check your hip and shoulder alignment at setup.
Remember that your feet and club are about three feet away from each other,
and your club and shoulder alignment is actually more important than your
feet. So concentrate mostly on aligning your shoulders and the club. Then
trust your alignment even if it looks strange from your eyes when you
are set up.
