TEEING OFF - TOO GOOD TO BE NORMAL 2. PRO REPORT - SKIP MONTY? TOUGH CALL FOR LANGER 3. QUOTE OF THE WEEK TEEING OFF TOO GOOD TO BE NORMAL The "It's-good-to-be-normal" hounds are loose again and they're going after Michelle Wie and her family, barking at them for stealing her childhood, pressuring her into becoming an adult too soon, skipping school and all man- ner of anti-normal behaviors. But what's so great about being normal? At this year's Hawaii Open, Friday attend- ance was p 22 percent over the same day in 2003. The dif- ference: the presence of the non-standard, irregular, un- common, atypical, extraordinary ninth-grader who is a once-in-a-millennium physical genius at golf. Tiger Woods was asked if he could have made the cut on tour at that age. "No way," he replied. "The same thing would've hap- pened to me at 14 as it did when I was 16 (at the 1992 Los Angeles Open, where he missed by plenty). I wasn't good enough." The "Tiger model" followed by Earl Woods (Tiger's dad) states that you should "dominate at the level you're at before you move on to the next level." That's good advice for most, but Michelle Wie is several cuts above everyone else. Her recent success at the Hawaii Open shows that her development as a savvy, well- spoken and very happy young girl is something to behold. Wie was having a ball -- she even skipped down the 10th fairway for a while until she remembered where she was. Exploitation never looked like this much fun. How many 14-year-olds do you know who could shoot a 68 from the back tees against the best players in the world, then take over the announcers' booth and not miss a beat? Somebody is definitely doing something right. As commen- tator Charlie Reimer said to Ernie Els, "Not only is she trying to take your job, she's trying to take mine, too." Where the critics go wrong is in giving advice geared to an everyday, standard-issue crowd from which excellence flows in a trickle. But with genius, be it intellectual, creative or physical, excellence is a flood that sweeps away those who lobby for sameness and carry on about the need to be normal. "I don't want to be normal," said Wie, and we shouldn't want her to be, either. ------------------------------------------------------------ ** LIQUIDATION SPECIAL - American Flags for $2.49 ** We are pleased to announce that we have found Full-Size 3'x5' American flags available at liquidation prices... never sold before at these low prices.

TOUGH CALL FOR LANGER West Palm Beach, Fla. -- Nobody has been in a tougher spot in a Ryder Cup than Bernhard Langer, who missed a 6-foot putt in 1991 that would have enabled the Europeans to re- tain the trophy at Kiawah Island. His opponent that day, Hale Irwin, later said that Langer was put in that posi- tion because he could handle the outcome better than any- one. Langer doesn't have to worry about facing similar pressure now that he's agreed to be the European captain and not try to play in his record-tying 11th Ryder Cup this fall at Oakland Hills, near Detroit. But he could be dealing with an equally dicey situation: Does he leave European star Colin Montgomerie -- with whom Langer was unbeaten as a partner in 2002 -- off the team? Langer acknowledged recently that making his two wild-card picks will probably be the most difficult part of his job. The Hall of Famer also said Montgomerie won't be given a free ride on the team, even though he has the best winning per- centage of any European (66.1) with an overall mark of 16-7-5. "I certainly hope he will make the team because he's a great player," Langer said in a phone interview from La Quinta, Calif. "But you never know. You need to have a good 12 months when qualifying. It's happened to other great players who didn't make a Ryder Cup team be- cause they weren't playing well." Langer was one of them. He was left off the 1999 team, the only Ryder Cup he's missed since 1981. It didn't matter that Langer is second to Nick Faldo on the Europeans' all-time list for matches (42), points (24) and won matches (22). With Montgomerie 25th on both lists for Ryder Cup points and world rankings -- the top five are chosen off the world rankings, then the next five on the European points list who have not al- ready been selected -- it appears the only chance that Montgomerie has is as a wild-card pick in August. He has dropped to 44th in the world rankings. Langer, 46, has plenty of other decisions to make before then. Major de- cisions like what clothes the team will wear, where the players will sleep, and more. Langer said it's important that he and American captain Hal Sutton continue to make sure the matches don't become as antagonistic as they were at Kiawah and at Brookline in 1999. The 2002 matches at The Belfry were relatively free of controversy. "It doesn't matter too much who wins or loses," Langer said. "The game of golf is larger than any one team. I hope these matches are very competitive, but with the highest level of sportsmanship." The last hard thing Langer will have to do as captain is watch the matches. "It's going to be more difficult to be standing on the sidelines," he said. "You kind of feel helpless." ------------------------------------------------------------ The TekFlame...

Featuring a GREEN colored wind-resistant jet torch flame the TekFlame looks great day or night. AND when you flip the top of the TekFlame a shimmering blue LED shines, lights up the gold in-laid emblem. The bright green flame occurs because there is a catalyst on the heat coils which changes the color of the flame once it reaches a higher temperature.

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...
