But each time the ball splashes into the drink. In utter frustration the golfer said, "Caddie, take my clubs on in, I'm going to jump into the water and drown myself." The caddie replied, "I doubt that, sir. You couldn't keep your head down long enough to drown!" ------------------------------------------------------------ *** SOFTWARE, SOFTWARE, SOFTWARE *** Get news and alerts on software that is available for f-r-e-e either on CDRom or by Download.

He has 15 mil- lion miles on his clubs, making him history's most-traveled professional athlete, and he's not slowing down. In the past three weeks, Player said he has gone across 40 time zones doing corporate outings and playing in golf tournaments. So what better person is there to talk to about Ernie Els' latest tussle with the PGA Tour over his world golf schedule? Els recently received a letter from PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem informing him that if he wants more than the standard three releases that a tour member annually receives to play in a "conflicting" event, he must play more than the minimum number of 15 tournaments. Player -- a South African like Els, and among the first golfers to play all over the world -- believes that's wrong. "Ernie wants to prove to everyone he's the best player in the world, not just the best player in the United States," Player said by phone recently from his ranch in Johannesburg, South Africa. "I applaud him for that. That was exactly my same ambition when I was his age. I wanted to be the best player in the world." So does Els. That's why he's the last globetrotting player left among the game's elite. No top player competes around the world more often. A big reason for this is Els loves those appearance fees that can rise above $300,000 in some cases. "To keep your card on the U.S. tour, you have to play 15 events and I have already played more than that, and I haven't finished yet," Els told repor- ters recently in London. "But they are saying they want over 20 and nothing abroad. Naturally, we have to sit down and talk, but one thing is for sure -- don't start putting a pad- lock around me. Don't make a barrier, because that's not going to work." Player praised Tiger Woods' efforts to promote the game around the world, but said he's saddened that so many top American players rarely travel outside the United States. He thinks that hurts not only their game, but the game. "To me, the ultimate test was to win around the world, because you had to adapt to different environments, customs, languages," Player said. "A lot of the American players are so pampered and so spoiled that if things aren't the way they want it or as nice as it is back home, they don't want to play there. Isn't it our responsibility to grow this game around the world?" Els will have played in 18 PGA Tour events this year, with seven of them the four majors and the three World Golf Championships. He has played in seven European events (besides the aforemen- tioned seven that count on both tours). Els also has played in Korea, Australia and South Africa this year. "I have great respect for Tim Finchem, but he needs to remember Ernie was not born in this country," Player said. "It reminds me of some- thing President Eisenhower said to me a long time ago: The world is a very big place, and the U.S. is a very small part of that. We need the world, and the world needs us." ------------------------------------------------------------ Questions? Comments?

bow tie golf oaakley shoes TODAY'S GOLF - Thursday, November 18, 2004"Tips... News... And More... All For The Love Of The Game" ------------------------------------------------------------ Take a moment to answer GopherCentral's Question of the Week: What is the number one problem facing our country? http://rd.gophercentral.com/al/a?aid=7541&ent=2501 Question of the Week IN THIS ISSUE: 1. Ask The Pro 2. It's Good For Your Game - SETUP FOR SUCCESS: A WINTER PROGRAM 3. The Golf Doctor - Better Body, Better Golf ASK THE PRO Q: My friends tell me that I have bad body language on the golf course and that it hurts my game. I guess I do mope around some when things are going badly, but even though I swear I'm going to change, as soon as I start to hit it badly, off I go. Can you coach me out of this? -- K.S., via the Web A: Your friends are pretty astute. You can't hide your feel- ings from them because your body language reveals what's really going on. I hope you don't play much high-stakes poker. Look at it this way: If your mood can shape your body language, maybe your body language can shape your mood. In fact, I believe that how you act can influence how you feel, and it's you who controls how you act. So all you have to do is fake it until you make it. First do a little research. The next time you're playing well, monitor how you act. Do you talk a lot, tell jokes, walk fast? It also helps to ask your friends how you behave when you've got your "A" game. Then be ready with your "A" game behavior when things go a little south and all you have to do is fake it until you make it back to your "A" swing. To find out more on this subject, read my book "The 30-Second Golf Swing." IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME SETUP FOR SUCCESS: A WINTER PROGRAM A good setup writes the script for the entire golf swing. If you're stuck indoors this winter, the best thing you can do for your game is pose in the perfect setup in front of a mirror at least once a day. STANCE WIDTH How wide you spread your heels affects your stability, balance and mobility. The distance between your heels varies according to the length of the club you are using (always use your heels to measure, rather than your toes). FOOT FLARE If you set up with both feet pointing straight at the target line, you would have no flare at all. How much you should turn your feet out at address depends on your ability to turn back and through the ball. BALL POSITION Your ball position depends on what club you are using. With your short to medium irons (again, I'm setting up to hit a short iron here), play the ball off the front cheek of your face so that it's slightly forward of the center of your stance. For your long irons and fairway woods, the ball should be positioned off the logo of your shirt. With all teed woods, it should be opposite your arm pit. Using your feet as a guide for ball placement can cause mistakes because it's hard to judge exactly where the ball is in relation to your feet when they are flared. So it's best to use your upper body to make sure you have the position correct. SHAFT ANGLE Ideally, the butt of the club should point at the inside of your front thigh. Clubs are designed to be "forward leaning" at impact, and it is easier to accomplish when you set the club up that way from the start. SPINE ANGLE The spine angle is a relationship many amateur players ignore. At setup, your spine should be slightly tilted away from the target. it and my spine are tilted about 5 degrees away from the target. Lines, arcs and angles -- golf is clearly a game of geometry. The good news is that to achieve a correct setup, you don't need special athletic talents or even any previous golf experience. All you really need is determination. The forward-leaning club and my left arm form a slightly tilted straight line (bottom). Matching this angle at impact ensures hitting down and through the ball. THE GOLF DOCTOR BETTER BODY, BETTER GOLF HANDS AND FOREARMS I've never seen a good player who didn't have muscular fore- arms and a firm grip, strong enough to stabilize the club without squeezing it to death. Most golfers understand that they should not hold the club too tightly because it stifles club head speed. But they don't realize that in addition to keeping the power muscles of the back and legs in good shape they must also pay attention to the small muscles in the hands and forearms. These muscles play an important part in the transfer of energy from your body to the club head, and if you are not careful, they are easily injured by working out with too much weight. An excellent, "low-weight" exercise is to squeeze a small, pliable, palm-sized ball for at least 10 minutes every day. Another is the "whoosh" drill to train the hands and the forearms to amp up club head speed. Turn the club upside down and hold it by its neck with your trail arm only. Take your golf stance and swing one-handed until you can produce a whooshing sound at the bottom of the swing arc in the impact area. The higher the pitch of the whoosh, the faster the club speed. If your arm muscles are weak and your grip too tight, your whoosh will have a low-grade "woo" sound. As your strength grows, your low-grade "woos" will rise to a high-grade whistle. Muscular forearms allow for a firm, stabilizing grip that's not too tight. |
