All times Eastern GOLF CHUCKLE Worst golfer One day, John Smith decided to go to a new golf course where no one knew him, just to get away and see if he could do better elsewhere. He hired a caddy to guide him around the course. After another day of slices, duff shots, misread putts and bad temper, he was obviously upset. He turned to the caddy and said, 'You know I must be the worst golfer in the world.' The caddy replied, 'I think not sir, I have heard there is a guy named John Smith from across town who is the worst player ever!' PRO REPORT MICKELSON SIGNS WITH CALLAWAY Callaway Golf has pulled off a giant marketing victory, signing Masters champion Phil Mickelson to a long-term equipment and endorsement contract. The Carlsbad, Calif., company announced Tuesday that beginning with this week's Bell Canadian Open, Mickelson, 34, who parted last week with Titleist, will play Callaway metal woods, including a prototype of the Fusion Driver, and a prototype of the HX Tour ball. Mickelson, the world's No. 4-ranked player, will wear the Callaway logo on his shirt and visor and later work with club designer Roger Cleveland to develop his own line of irons, wedges and putter. Mickelson reportedly ended his four-year relationship with Titleist after being denied a renegotiation in the final year of his contract. Financial terms of the Callaway contract were not disclosed. -- Glenn Sheeley |

ASK THE PRO 2. IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME - Match your finish to your swing shape 3. THE GOLF DOCTOR - Load Determines Shaft Flex ASK THE PRO Q: I'm an 8 handicap but have never spent much time practicing my short game. When I do, I pick a good spot (say 20 yards from the cup), give myself a good lie and generally hit the ball fairly close. But when I get on the course, I get all sorts of lies and I'm unsure of how the ball will react. I know I should practice from various lies, but I know myself, and this is not going to happen. Is there any rule of thumb and/or tip you can give me that may help? -- Bob in Ohio A: Bob, we should rename this section "Ask the Surly Pro" because I'm going to give you some tough-love advice. Your short-game practice invokes the "rule of dumb," sim- ilar to the definition of insanity, which is to find some- thing that doesn't work and keep doing it! If you know your practice routine is wrong, why not change it? In any case, here's a tip for bad lies, but please make sure you practice it before you try it. Loft and distance are re- lated, even in the short game. The more loft, the less distance and vice versa. I'm assuming that by "good lie" you mean you prop the ball up on the grass where it's easy to hit it with the club's sweet spot, i.e., in the middle of the club face, seven or eight grooves up from the bottom. This is the spot that will give you the full loft and chipping run designed into the golf club. On the course, you'll encounter lies where the ball is sitting "down," so you must make contact lower on the club face, decreasing the loft and causing the ball to run more than you intended. The rule of thumb for these cases: For every two grooves down from the sweet spot that you hit the ball, the club loses one club's worth of loft. For example, say you are in a spot where you would normally play a pitch and roll with a 7-iron from a perfect lie, but the ball is sitting down. If you will have to hit four grooves down from the sweet spot, switch to a 9-iron to give you the 7- iron loft and run you desire. ------------------------------------------------------------ My Sister Laughed When I Told Her I Bought This...

The usual result is an overmanipula- tion of the club and a "hang back," where too much weight is left on the back foot through impact. Your finish posi- tion should match your overall swing shape, and your swing shape should match your overall physical characteristics -- particularly your flexibility. "Finish high if you want to see it fly" is good advice only if you are flexible, strong, thin-chested and long-limbed. Then, and only then, can you swing the club high over your head on the backswing and match that with a high, balanced finish. 1. Finish is erect, in a straight-up position. The golfer's shoulders are level to the ground, and so is his upper left arm. 2. The club shaft almost bisects the golfer's head along the ear line. 3. The triangle formed by his forearms and an imaginary line connecting his elbows matches the same triangle that he formed at the top of his backswing. There's no manipulation in this swing. From the "caddy view," here are three three characteristics: 1. The right shoulder is closer to the target than his left shoulder, with his chest facing left of the target. 2. Almost all of the player's weight is on his left side, and he's using his right foot only as a rudder for balance. 3. The golfer's head is over his left foot. ------------------------------------------------------------ Say HELLO to DASH MATES and Say GOODBYE to Things Flying Across Your Dash Board...

The toe of your club can bend up toward you and down away from you, a motion called "toe up/toe down" bending. The toe can also bend away from and toward the target, a motion called "lag/lead" bending. When you take a full swing, the shaft bends as described above at various points during your swing. How much and in which direction depends on the force (called "load") you exert on the shaft. Load can be exerted at any swing speed; that is why you can't pick a club's flex based solely on swing speed. Just because you have a high swing speed doesn't mean you need a stiff shaft or vice versa. Tour player Fred Couples, for example, nicknamed BoomBoom because of his long drives, used a 3-wood with a ladies' flex for many years. To make sure you are well-fit, visit a certified club fitter to help you select the shaft that best suits the load you exert no matter your club speed. A shaft that is stiff enough to be controllable but as flexible as possible is the combination that will maximize your distance and accuracy. ------------------------------------------------------------ Questions?
