All For The Love Of The Game" ------------------------------------------------------------ To SUBSCRIBE visit: http://www.gophercentral.com/sub/sub-golf.html Subscribe ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE: 1. 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?

ASK THE PRO 2. IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME - Kids respomd to model teacher 3. DRILLS FOR SKILLS - Three Right Hands ASK THE PRO Q: I like Tiger Woods, but I'm aggravated that TV gave Tiger so much air time at the PGA Championship when the only storyline was to see if he could extend his cut streak. His streak is nice, but it only shows that he can consistently beat half the field. -- Wilma F. from Augusta, Ga. A: The greatest careers in sports are judged by excellence over time. To give Tiger's streak some perspective, I look- ed up "The Streak" in the Baseball Almanac -- Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak, said to be one of sport's unbeatable marks. I think such a comparison is relevant because on any given day, if you look at the baseball box scores, more than half the starting players fail to get a hit, so getting a hit means you beat at least half the field. When DiMaggio's streak reached 20, the newspapers and radio began to drama- tize what Joe D was doing. As Harvey Frommer, author of "New York City Baseball," writes: "Radio announcers would routine- ly interrupt programs with the news of the Yankee Clipper's progress." In golf, when you make the cut you do something that more than half the starting field failed to do, so Tiger consistently beats half the field, just as Joe DiMaggio did during his streak. Now I'm not saying that the band OutKast should write "The Ballad of Tiger Woods," but some air time at the PGA Championship is quite appropriate. ------------------------------------------------------------ INTRODUCING The Health and Diet Center Let's face it, we all are striving to improve ourselves and our lives.

In visual mode, you process information by observation, so watching a model speeds understanding. In kinesthetic mode, you'll improve most quickly by doing drills that enhance your feel for the golf swing. In auditory mode, you'll need precise instructions and clear explanations. Good golf instructors present material in all three modes so the student will see it, feel it and hear it -- a pedagogy that ensures your learning experience is complete. Learning this way is called modeling, and the process goes as follows: First you pick a model for the piece of the swing you want to learn -- it might be the grip, the stance or the position at the top of the backswing. Then you match that model in every detail. Once you match your model perfectly, you repeat your perfect match until it becomes so ingrained that you can do it automatically every time. At this point, it's in your long-term memory and you can now go on to the next piece of the golf swing. If you want to get your child involved in golf, find an instructor who understands multisensory learning and modeling. With good fundamentals, your child can build a repeatable swing that will give him or her consistent results and set them on the path toward improvement. I am often asked when children should start playing. The answer is when they are about the same height as the flag on the putting green. It's important to not start teaching golf to kids too early and that they have a teacher whose swing they can imitate. ------------------------------------------------------------ GET AN INSTANT BOOST OF VITAMIN B-12 ENERGY... -- WITHOUT THE PAIN OR COST OF INJECTIONS -- Now -- you can have all the nutritional benefits of an energizing Vitamin B-12 shot without visiting your doctor's office.

It's a famous but misunderstood quote, so here's an expansion. There are four possible positions for your right hand (left for lefties) during the swing: cocked, uncocked, bent and arched. Extend your right arm and hand straight out in front of you then move your right thumb straight up toward your forehead, creating wrinkles on your wrist at the base of your thumb. Your wrist is now cocked. Next, reverse the process by moving your thumb straight down, away from your forehead, as far as it can go. This is uncocked. The release, going from a cocked to an uncocked position, is a movement that's similar to hammering a nail. Now return to your extended arm position and bend your right hand back directly to your right, creating wrinkles on your wrist at the base of your forearm. This is bent. Next, move your hand in the opposite direction, bending it to your left and creating wrinkles on your wrist on the front of your forearm. This is arched. Going from bent to arched is the movement you would use to usher someone into a room. During the golf swing, you want to go from a bent position on the backswing to an uncock- ed position on the downswing much as you do when throwing a ball. To get the correct feel, do the "throw the ball drill," using your right arm, but without a club. Hold a golf ball in your right hand and take your normal golf stance, addressing another ball that is properly positioned between your feet on an imaginary target line. Take a backswing and throw the ball in your hand at the one on the ground as you make a downswing, paying attention to the correct right-hand action -- bent to uncocked. Once you train your right hand to work correctly, you won't want to keep it out of your swing. And then, like Ben Hogan, you'll wish you had three right hands. ------------------------------------------------------------ Questions? Comments?
