GOLF CHUCKLE
Bad tempered golfer
Hear the one about the bad tempered golfer who bought a new set of Great Big Bertha Woods.
After playing with them for a couple of rounds he returned to his pro shop and told the pro that these were the best clubs he had ever played with.
In fact "I can throw these clubs 40 yards further than my old ones".
PRO REPORT
Chip shot instruction Think Right Wrist
Over the years, a lot of focus has been placed on the left arm during a chip shot (chip shots are those just off the green that are hit with a 7 or 8 iron to get the ball on the green and rolling towards the hole). More specifically, on the left arm and wrist.
The idea is to make your left arm and wrist very firm through impact to prevent either of them from breaking down. A broken down left side could lead to a fat or thin chip shot.
This may be true, but in my own experiences, as well as what I have observed from other golfers, focusing on the left arm and wrist has led me to believe that there must be a better way. Too often, when people think of keeping their left side firm, they end up creating too much force on impact. They try to straighten out their left arm just before impact and by doing this, they produce unwanted clubhead speed. Almost every solidly struck bump-and-run chip shot I see from amateurs goes past the hole. Have you ever noticed this? It usually ends up short of the hole if it's hit heavily.
What's worse is that I see a lot of these shots hit thin and going well past the hole. This is because the left arm actually lifts up too far in an effort to keep it straight and firm, and the club's leading edge hits the middle of the ball.
Therefore, I think you would be better served to think of your right wrist while chipping. Try to keep the angle you form with your right wrist very constant through the impact area. This will simultaneously keep the left side firm, but you won't be as inclined to jerk your left side and produce too much force because you won't be focusing on your left side.
This motion should feel like a pendulum. To hit the chip shot a bit shorter or further, simply alter the length of the swing. Your arms don't have to feel straight and rigid either; it should just feel as though everything is moving in unison.
You will discover that by focusing on your right wrist, distance control with your chip shots will improve immensely.

ASK THE PRO
Q: I like Tiger Woods, but I'm aggravated that TV gave
Tiger so much air time at the PGA Championship when the
only storyline was to see if he could extend his cut
streak. His streak is nice, but it only shows that he can
consistently beat half the field. -- Wilma F. from Augusta,
Ga.
A: The greatest careers in sports are judged by excellence over time. To give Tiger's streak some perspective, I look- ed up "The Streak" in the Baseball Almanac -- Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak, said to be one of sport's unbeatable marks. I think such a comparison is relevant because on any given day, if you look at the baseball box scores, more than half the starting players fail to get a hit, so getting a hit means you beat at least half the field. When DiMaggio's streak reached 20, the newspapers and radio began to drama- tize what Joe D was doing. As Harvey Frommer, author of "New York City Baseball," writes: "Radio announcers would routine- ly interrupt programs with the news of the Yankee Clipper's progress." In golf, when you make the cut you do something that more than half the starting field failed to do, so Tiger consistently beats half the field, just as Joe DiMaggio did during his streak. Now I'm not saying that the band OutKast should write "The Ballad of Tiger Woods," but some air time at the PGA Championship is quite appropriate.

It's Good Golf Instruction For Your Golf Game
Good golf instructors Teach Kids Respond To Model Teacher
Human beings have three distinct learning styles: visual, kinesthetic and auditory. In visual mode, you process information by observation, so watching a model speeds understanding. In kinesthetic mode, you'll improve most quickly by doing drills that enhance your feel for the golf swing. In auditory mode, you'll need precise instructions and clear explanations. Good golf instructors present material in all three modes so the student will see it, feel it and hear it -- a pedagogy that ensures your learning experience is complete. Learning this way is called modeling, and the process goes as follows: First you pick a model for the piece of the swing you want to learn -- it might be the grip, the stance or the position at the top of the backswing. Then you match that model in every detail. Once you match your model perfectly, you repeat your perfect match until it becomes so ingrained that you can do it automatically every time. At this point, it's in your long-term memory and you can now go on to the next piece of the golf swing. If you want to get your child involved in golf, find an instructor who understands multisensory learning and modeling. With good fundamentals, your child can build a repeatable swing that will give him or her consistent results and set them on the path toward improvement. I am often asked when children should start playing. The answer is when they are about the same height as the flag on the putting green. It's important to not start teaching golf to kids too early and that they have a teacher whose swing they can imitate.

Golf Drills for Skills
Three rights hands cocked uncocked arched bent
Ben Hogan wrote in his book "Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf": "As far as applying power goes, I wish I had three right hands." It's a famous but misunderstood quote, so here's an expansion.
There are four possible positions for your right hand (left for lefties) during the swing: cocked, uncocked, bent and arched.
Extend your right arm and hand straight out in front of you then move your right thumb straight up toward your forehead, creating wrinkles on your wrist at the base of your thumb. Your wrist is now cocked.
Next, reverse the process by moving your thumb straight down, away from your forehead, as far as it can go. This is uncocked.
The release, going from a cocked to an uncocked position, is a movement that's similar to hammering a nail.
Now return to your extended arm position and bend your right hand back directly to your right, creating wrinkles on your wrist at the base of your forearm. This is bent.
Next, move your hand in the opposite direction, bending it to your left and creating wrinkles on your wrist on the front of your forearm. This is arched.
Going from bent to arched is the movement you would use to usher someone into a room.
During the golf swing, you want to go from a bent position on the backswing to an uncocked position on the downswing much as you do when throwing a ball.
To get the correct feel, do the "throw the ball drill," using your right arm, but without a club. Hold a golf ball in your right hand and take your normal golf stance, addressing another ball that is properly positioned between your feet on an imaginary target line.
Take a backswing and throw the ball in your hand at the one on the ground as you make a downswing, paying attention to the correct right-hand action -- bent to uncocked.
Once you train your right hand to work correctly, you won't want to keep it out of your swing. And then, like Ben Hogan, you'll wish you had three right hands.
