Last
Week on the tours:
The
Solheim Cup typified how the U.S women are doing on the LPGA Tour
this year. Led by Annika Sorenstam with a 4 and 1 record, the Europeans
clobbered the U.S. by seven points. Annika added to a superior year
by putting on a good show in front of a home crowd in Sweden.
The
PGA Tour was completely washed out on Saturday and will have to
be completed on Monday. The leaders, including Vijay Singh have
already completed five holes of their final round, and it proves
to be an exciting finish with six players witin two shots of the
lead.
Meanwhile
Larry Nelson picked up another win on the Champion's tour and Retief
Goosen won in Europe.

Quote/Joke
of the week:
"Golf
is a game in which you yell "fore", shoot six, and write
down five." - Paul Harvey
Tip
of the week:
Proper
weight shift:
Weight shift is crucial in the golf swing. It is crucial for power
and timing, and it is the most problematic part of many recreational
player's games. An improper weight shift can dramatically reduce
your power and is the cause of the dreaded reverse pivot.
Fortunately
it is also one of the easiest things to learn to do properly. In
order to get a feel for proper weight shift you have to completely
forget about what you are doing with your upper body for a while.
To start, I suggest just holding your golf club in the setup position
without the club touching the ground. Then simply rock your body
side to side by putting your weight from one foot to the other,
not unlike dancing. While doing this, just relax your hands, wrists,
arms and shoulders and let them move with your movement. The club
should start swinging in front of you as you step from foot to foot.
Now
just increase the movement until the swing starts get bigger. You
will be much like a pendulum, and if you are doing it right, you
will be making about a three quarter swing. Continue this movement
for about thirty swings with the same easy tempo, then start putting
balls in place and hit them with the same motion. As you get the
feel for this motion, you can begin to increase the length of your
swing while maintaining the weight shift and rhythm.
Equipment:
Four Ball Putter at a price you won't believe 
Synchron Hot Forged Irons, affordable tour clubs.
Fit and feel are the most important aspects when looking for golf
clubs. Technology can help but not if the clubs do not suit you
or your swing. At Pine Meadow Golf you can get custom fit online
with their custom fit wizard.
Don't
necessarily get caught up in thinking you must have name brand clubs.
Good quality clones are often made in the same factories with the
same materials, can be customized, and are considerably less expensive.
At Pine Meadow Golf you can get drivers that only have different
printing on them, for $49-$99, steel and titanium. You probably
are using a clone computer, which is the same kind of thing. For
a good overview of the differences and the best deals on factory-direct
golf clubs go to Pine
Meadow Golf. These are the clubs I use, and I could any brand.
I
use a driver from PineMeadow and I could use any equipment I want.
Buy a club from them, try it out and if you don't find that it is
as good as any name brand club send it back. They don't get many
returns, and they offer great service to match the low prices.
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."

Training
Aids:
"The Golf Trainer Power Performance Program" - Start
playing your best golf now. The founder, Mike Pedersen has helped
thousands of golfers all over the world improve their games with
his golf-specific strength and stretching exercises. His program
provides video demonstrations and step-by-step instructions of over
100 exercises. I have seen a lot of programs that say they are golf-specific,
but his really is. He also is available at your request via e-mail
to answer any of your questions. Click
here to go there now, I highly recommend it."
Here
are some great warm-up exercises for the first tee.
Have Arthritis or Joint Pain?
Don't
settle for the dangerous side effects of COX-2 inhibitors and NSAIDs.
They only treat the pain and do nothing to fight the Arthritis itself.
If you or your pet has arthritis, I highly recommend Syn-Flex. The
fast-acting high quality liquid formula of Syn-Flex eases your pain,
rebuilds your damaged cartilage, protects your joints, and increases
mobility. Click
here to learn more and get relief from pain. I was unable to
work out or play golf without debilitating pain in my shoulders,
back, and hips, until Syn-Flex came along. I think it is the best
glucosamine/condroitin product on the market.
