TEEING OFF - Yips are no disease 2. PRO REPORT - NICKLAUS, PLAYER PRESIDENTS CUP CAPTAINS AGAIN 3. QUOTE OF THE WEEK TEEING OFF Yips are no disease In 2003, the Mayo Clinic published a study of the yips and, as you can read below, it didn't sit to well with Chuck Hogan, one of the most original thinkers in the golf business. Chuck believes that the yips are just a piece of learning, not a disease. It's human nature to seek pleasure and avoid pain, and in most cases the choice is clear-cut: We see a snake and run; we see a comfy chair and curl up in it. But when it comes to a short putt, the brain of the yipper is in a quandary. It must stroke the putt to finish the hole and get its reward, but it doesn't want to experience the pain of the miss, a pain that the golfer has blown so completely out of proportion that it must be avoided. Enter Mr. Hogan and his open letter to the clinic: "It is well-documented that golf went from a game played in Scotland to a matter of money, politics, bio-mechanics and a self-esteem issue in the United States. I must say that your recent article regarding the 'yips' was a giant step backward for golf and golfers. "The yips syndrome, regardless of research by the Mayo Clinic, is simply a learned behavior. The human system ... moves away from pain and toward pleasure. When golfers 'learn' that a 2-foot putt is dangerous, the perception generates a vascular shutoff. While the golfer's subcon- scious is moving away, the golfer's conscious mind still moves 'toward' to execute the putt. The simultaneous 'toward-away' demands are manifest and expressed as a spasmodic response. "Then, along comes ... the Mayo Clinic to 'discover' the 'problem. What they find, sure enough, is evidence of fear in the brain-scan imagery. Now they give it a name -- 'dystonia.'" "No solution was offered ... so the golfer is left with the idea that s/he could be the victim at any moment. And, there is no controlling this monster. This is another ADPD (Attention Deficit Putting Disorder -- don't you just love labels?). Isn't it enough that Americans have taken a game (G-A-M-E) and turned it into a job? Isn't it enough that your self-esteem and pecking order is at stake and all about a putt? Well, apparently not - now they've invented a disease. "Suffice it to say that you (Mayo) have taken more joy out of Mudville and added more anxiety to golfers. Since the brain researchers are more interested in research for the sake of research, can't we just keep it in academia where it won't give little golfers nightmares?" ------------------------------------------------------------ * Flag Day Is June 14th!

But to hear Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player talk, their greatest moment in golf came last fall when they never touched a club. Six months after their controversial decision to end the Presidents Cup in a tie, Nicklaus and Player are still almost giddy about what happened in South Africa. That explains their recent decision to take sort of a mulligan by agreeing to once again be captains for the 2005 Presidents Cup matches near Washington. The PGA Tour will no doubt hype the matches as "Unfinished Business," making them seem more like a prize fight. But the captains saw nothing incomplete about what happened in South Africa when the United States and International teams finished in a tie. "It was the most exciting and most rewarding event that I have ever been involved with in the game of golf," Nicklaus said. "I've won a lot of golf tournaments, (but) I've never had one that I enjoyed more and enjoyed being part of for what it did for the game of golf, what it did for South Africa, and in general bringing the golfers of the world together. It was sensational." Player, one of South Africa's greatest athletes, echoed those thoughts. "What transpired ... was something that I will never for- get in my life, one of the three greatest moments in my career as a golfer," Player said. "To be playing in South Africa, a country that had been barred due to its apartheid policies from participating worldwide for 48 years, and now having formed this great democracy ... was something that was vitally important, far more important than the golf. And to have an ending as we did was most appropriate. And everybody left feeling very satisfied." PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said it didn't take long to con- sider asking Nicklaus and Player to return, even though there are plenty of other qualified candidates. Guys like Greg Norman and Nick Price. "That was something we thought about the night after the matches concluded," Finchem said. "We thought it was fitting that Jack and Gary have a chance to finish this, if you will, and go at it again." The Americans have never seemed to take the Presidents Cup matches with the same passion as the Ryder Cup, perhaps because the latter has been around about 65 more years. But that may be changing as well. Nicklaus said Phil Mickelson was one of the unsung heroes of his team even though Mickelson was 0-5 in his matches. Nicklaus said Mickelson was extremely supportive of his teammates, even though he was having a forgettable week, and he thinks that helped Mickelson finally win that first major last month at the Masters. "It was a big turnaround in Phil Mickelson's life," Nicklaus said. "The way he handled himself down there ... he never varied from being supportive and from being a good team member." ------------------------------------------------------------ DESIGNER DAKOTA EYEWEAR Introductory Offer -- $9.99 For ANY Pair of their exclusive line of Sunglasses Normal Retail $59.99 & Up. . .

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...
