Quote Of The Week TEEING OFF Get A Good Grip A good golf swing begins with holding the club properly in your hands. You want to create a grip that is balanced between both hands with neither hand in a dominant position. In a good natural grip, the back of your left hand, as well as the palm of your right hand, will face your target. The club will sit diagonally across the fingers of your left hand with the heel pad at the base of your hand sitting on top of the club, with the last three fingers applying pressure from the bottom of the club. The left thumb sits slightly right of center on the club with no gap between the thumb and the base of the forefinger. The right hand is placed on the club with the left thumb fitting nicely in the lifeline of your right hand. The fingers of the right hand wrap around the bottom of the grip. The right thumb sits slightly left of center on the club with no gap between the thumb and the base of the trigger finger. This will produce a grip where the hands are opposing each other in a neutral position. This natural grip will allow you to return the clubface square- ly to the ball at impact without having to make any adjustments to your swing to compensate for a faulty grip. ------------------------------------------------------------ The FDA announced that Vioxx(R) hurt people Merck knows that Vioxx(R) contributed to many health problems including heart attacks and strokes.

Coming off its most lopsided defeat in the event's 77-year history, the PGA had pondered a new approach by considering Larry Nelson, 57, who's no longer active on the PGA Tour. But the association instead decided to stay with the recen formula of selecting a major champion in his 40s with Ryder Cup experience. Lehman, 45, played in three Ryder Cups and never lost a singles match. Lehman has the difficult task of re-energizing an American squad that suffered a humiliating 18 1/2-9 1/2 loss to Europe six weeks ago at Oakland Hills. That was the Americans' fourth loss in the past five Ryder Cup matches and seventh of the past 10 in a competition the United States once dominated. Two weeks ago, Lehman made it clear at the Funai Classic at Disney World how interested he was in the position. He said he would be willing to give up a chance to try to qualify for his fourth team. He is 5-3-2 at the Ryder Cup and did not play in the past two matches. "I would like to play another time with- out question, but I would love to be the captain of the next one," Lehman said. "I think being a captain in Ireland would be a phenomenal experience. I could go either way, but I'd love to be captain. If the chance came I'd jump on it." That chance came after another front-runner, Paul Azinger, said last week he'd prefer to be the captain for the 2008 matches at Valhalla. Azinger is taking a network analyst's job with ABC and also is retooling his swing; he recently told PGA officials to take him out of consideration for two more years. This marks the second time Nelson has been bypassed for the job. Many believed the two-time PGA champion, who has a 9-3-1 record in the Ryder Cup, would be named captain of the 1997 team. But Tom Kite was chosen, and the U.S. barely lost, 14 1/2-13 1/2. Picking Lehman, who won the 1996 British Open, is a bit of a risky move for the PGA only because so many people have come out in favor of Nelson. Former U.S. captains such as Dave Stockton and Lanny Wadkins were pushing PGA officials to depart from their usual formula to tab Nelson. Azinger and Lehman also endorsed Nelson, as have other current players. "I think Larry Nelson deserves to be captain at some point, and I think he would be a great captain," Lehman said at Disney. "If they ever were to decide to break tradition and go with a guy over 50, I think I'd start with him." Lehman, who was named Player of the Year in 1996, has five PGA Tour titles, but he hasn't won in almost five years. He was 53rd on the money list -- his third consecutive finish outside the top 50 -- although he finished strongly this season. He was tied for the 54-hole lead in his last three events, and he closed the year with finishes of fourth, 17th, second, fourth and sixth in his final five starts. Lehman is one of the PGA Tour's most respect- ed players, and the PGA of America is hoping his people skills can help lead an American team in need of serious regrouping after the Oakland Hills debacle. His passion for the Ryder Cup is unmistakable. Lehman's appointment no doubt will draw plenty of response from the British media, who took him to task because he was one of the Americans who ran onto the 17th green to cele- brate Justin Leonard's winning putt in 1999 at Brookline. Lehman was greatly criticized by then-European vice captain Sam Torrance. ------------------------------------------------------------ The Funniest Stand-up Film of ALL TIME Critics call RICHARD PRYOR LIVE one of the best stand-up films of all time.

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...

VISIT: http://rd.gophercentral.com/al/a?aid=548&ent=1418 Dash Mates ------------------------------------------------------------ THE GOLF DOCTOR LOAD DETERMINES SHAFT FLEX Most golfers don't realize it, but when you swing a club, the shaft actually bends in four directions -- not all at once, of course. 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?
