TEEING OFF - Three degrees of separation 2. PRO REPORT - TV viewers question, but Cink officially OK 3. QUOTE OF THE WEEK TEEING OFF Three degrees of separation Once you have coiled correctly during your backswing, you are poised to release the pent-up power created by that coil. The proper release of this power at impact is related to three "separations" that occur as you start back to the ball: 1. Your hands must separate from your back shoulder and move directly down toward the ground, maintaining the 90- degree angle between the shaft and your left arm. This is an essential power lever and it is not released until impact. 2.Your front shoulder must separate from your chin, a move that aids in dropping the arms and club into the slot. 3.Your front hip should turn back toward the target while your right hip stays put, creating a separation between your legs. ------------------------------------------------------------ MEMO-FOAM PILLOW -- Enjoy the BEST Sleep Ever When you rest your head on a Memo-Foam Pillow, you notice right away how COMFORTABLE it feels.

Then, of course, everybody's an expert. Some even call in to tournaments hoping to get a decision reversed. It could have happened Sunday at the MCI Heritage, when after sinking a 6-foot birdie putt on the fifth playoff hole, Duluth's Stewart Cink was questioned about his clean-up around the ball before his second shot. Only a week before, South Africa's Ernie Els got a favor- able ruling after driving deep into the woods at Augusta National's 11th hole during the third round of the Masters. A day later, Els lost by one stroke to Phil Mickelson. Fans watching on TV Sunday saw Cink, who had consulted tour official Slugger White on his way to the ball, remov- ing loose impediments from an area of white, crushed limestone left of the fairway -- not a bunker. Although that area on Harbour Town Golf Links' 16th hole is often called a "waste bunker," that's not a term covered in the rules of golf. According to PGA Tour rules official Mark Russell, "it's actually [considered] 'through the green,' just an area where there's no grass." Under the rules, Cink was allowed to remove "loose impedi- ments" such as stones or granules of limestone, as long as he did not move his ball or remove something "solidly embedded." "He didn't do any finger sweep or brush," said official Frank Cavanaugh, who was on the scene at Hilton Head. "He flicked and picked, but there was no sweep." Viewers noticed what appeared to be an indentation in the surface after Cink flicked away some loose impediments. But the surface was so firm, officials said, Cink could not have been in violation of Rule 13.2, or improving his lie by removing or pressing down sand. According to Cavanaugh, the tour staff had gone ahead before the players got to the 16th for a second time, making certain that the bunkers -- and this "waste bunker" -- were raked from previous play. "That was one of the areas that had been raked," Cavanaugh said, "and the ball was right in front of that furrow." That created the impression that Cink's ball was raised. Russell said official Steve Rintoul told him the area was so firm "that they threw the rake down and the rake teeth wouldn't even go in the ground." The area that on TV might have looked like a finger swipe "was kind of rake furrow that was there beforehand," Russell said. After Cink make a fabulous second shot and sank the winning putt, he was told of the rules discussion. He watched replays of the 16th hole with White and explained what he did. White was satisfied there was no infraction. "I think we got some questions about whether he'd improved his lie," White said later. "Yes, he flicked them away. But like I said, there are so many little pebbles in there. . . That's the nature of a waste area." Many tour players do not fully understand the rules. Although Cink is more schooled than most, he was careful to consult White during his playoff with Ted Purdy. "It was just the two of them [Cink and Purdy] out there, and the official was right nearby," said Georgia State Golf Association executive director Mike Waldron, who has been a rules official for several major championships. "If he did anything wrong, I'm sure Slugger White would have seen it." ------------------------------------------------------------ The Amazing Tooth Stain Eraser Removes Tough Tobacco, Tea & Coffee Stains On Contact...

Oakley Golf Shoes TODAY'S GOLF - Thursday, April 29, 2004"Tips... News... And More... All For The Love Of The Game" ------------------------------------------------------------ To SUBSCRIBE visit: http://www.gophercentral.com/sub/sub-golf.html Subscribe ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE: 1. ASK THE PRO 2. IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME - Sculpt Your Shoulders - Easily 3. THE GOLF DOCTOR - ARM SHOULD BE BOWED BUT NOT BENT ASK THE PRO Q: I have trouble determining what the width of my stance should be. I keep experimenting; sometimes I use a narrow stance, and it works for a while and then stops working. Sometimes I do well with a wide stance, but that doesn't last either. How can I find out which one is right for me? Or is it important at all? Maybe I'm making too big a deal out of it. -- Al C., from the Web A: The width of your stance is important. It influences your stability, balance and mobility. The rule of thumb is your foot spread should be no wider than shoulder width (for your driver); the narrowest is the width of your hips (short irons). To determine the best width for you, chose a 5-iron and take a few slow-motion swings in front of a mirror, posing in your finish position. Then (assuming you are a right-handed player) check out your right knee position. If your right knee passes your left, your stance is too narrow. If there is a gap between your knees, your stance is too wide. Your stance is correct when your knees end up even with each other. Once you determine the stance width for the 5-iron, your stance should be slightly narrower for clubs that are shorter than the 5-iron and slightly wider for the longer ones. It is my experience that most golfers take too wide a stance because it feels powerful. Actually, it's just the opposite because too wide a stance makes it difficult to transfer weight into the left hip socket on the downswing, a mistake that causes the "fire and fall back" finish -- a sure way to hit the power-robbing slice. To find out more on stance width and how to match it to your body type, consult my book "The LAWs of the Golf Swing." ------------------------------------------------------------ ATTENTION LADIES: Look Like A Diva Without Spending Like A Diva The Limited Edition Designer Inspired Purse Collection If you've ever wanted to own a designer purse but did not want to pay the outrageous prices, you have to check out this Designer Inspired Collection.

To simplify your comprehension of these muscles, we will divide this area into three parts: the front deltoids, the side or middle deltoids, and the rear deltoids. It's like with any other muscle group; a well-balanced workout focusing on all three parts of your shoulders will increase muscle growth and muscle definition. Also, remember to keep your diet in check in order to raise your likelihood of developing well-rounded, buff shoulders. To keep your workout short and sweet, carry out 3 or 4 exercises for a total of 14 sets. We'll start with a basic exercise that concentrates on building the front and side deltoid muscles. shoulder press with dumbbells This movement is similar to the military press, except you'll be using dumbbells. By using these weights you'll achieve a tremendous range of motion, which helps stretch out the muscles while working more muscle fibers in the shoulder area. Here are your goals in terms of sets and repetitions. Sets: 4 Repetitions: 15 - 10 - 8 - 8 Technique: Sit on an upright bench (or 90 degree chair), with your feet firmly on the floor to ensure proper balance. Hold a dumbbell in each hand next to your shoulders, keeping elbows out and palms and fingers facing the wall or mirror. Your forearms should be perpendicular to the floor. Make sure your back is upright and resting against the back of the bench with your shoulders back and your chest sticking out. Press the dumbbells straight up overhead, but don't lock your elbows at the end of the motion, in order to maintain full tension on your shoulder muscles. Slowly lower the weights to the starting position. A good tip is to point the dumbbells inwards (towards your shoulders) when coming down. This focuses the tension of the movement to your shoulders. Make your waist look smaller with more shoulder exercises... ------------------------------------------------------------ The EVERLight - The No Fuel, No Flame Lighter That Lasts ForEVER The EVERLight is now available to the general public.

VISIT: The EVERLight ------------------------------------------------------------ THE GOLF DOCTOR ARM SHOULD BE BOWED BUT NOT BENT If you're an experienced golfer, you know that at the top of the backswing your lead arm (the left arm for right- handed players) should not collapse. An excessively bent left arm changes the radius of the swing arc, making it more difficult to return the club head to the ball correctly. However, a stiff left arm that is ram-rod straight adds too much tension to your swing and can lead to elbow problems. A stiff left arm makes it difficult to sequence the downswing correctly (it should unfold from the ground up), and it stifles the power-producing centrifugal force that helps accelerate the target arm through impact. At the top of your backswing, your target arm should be extended, but not stiff, as LPGA Futures Tour player Kristi Gleason is demonstrating in this photo. Her left arm is stretched by applying pressure during the takeaway with the heel of her right hand where it touches her left thumb. Because she pushes down and away with her right hand throughout her backswing, Kristi maintains maximum width all the way to the top of her swing. This leaves her left arm "soft" and ready for action. In golfspeak this is what we call a perfect left arm -- "bowed, but not bent, straight but not stiff." -- T.J.
