Take a moment to answer GopherCentral's Question of the Week:

What is the number one problem facing our country?

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.

GOLF CHUCKLE

A golfer has one advantage over a fisherman. He doesn't
have to produce anything to prove his story.

PRO REPORT

How To Choose A Set Of Clubs

Have you walked into a golf store recently? If so, you may
have looked around and thought to yourself: How in the world
am I going to pick a set of clubs? As intimidating as sorting
through the hundreds of options can be, knowing what to look
for before you shop can quickly narrow your search. Here are
a few questions you should be able to answer:

1- What are your intentions?
Do you plan to play once a month, once a week, or until your
significant other leaves you with your sun-scorched skin,
cracked lips and worn-out grips?

2- What type of club design are you looking for?
Irons range from very forgiving (large, cavity-back design)
to not-so-forgiving (smaller, blade design). If you're just
starting, the cavity-back design will be your best friend.
More advanced players should consult pros or peers.

3- What type of shaft should you use?
Shafts are basically designed with swing speed in mind. Your
98-year-old grandmother would use a much more flexible shaft
than Tiger Woods uses.

The slower your clubhead speed, the more flex you will want.
The added flex gives you more clubhead speed, and thus
distance. Swing speeds are fairly easy to gauge. Ask your
pro or consult a qualified golf retailer.

4- What about graphite shafts?
The beauty of graphite is that it is much lighter than steel.
A lighter club is easier to swing, and graphite allows the
same swing to produce more clubhead speed. Most women's and
many juniors' clubs come standard with graphite shafts for
this very reason.

5- What is custom fitting?
Custom fitting can be done by most qualified professionals.
During a session, the pro will fit the player for length of
club, flex of shaft, lie angle, and grip size. The pro will
also be able to recommend the general design of the clubhead
to suit the player's swing.

6- How much should you spend?
The less, the better -- obviously. But if you plan to devote
some time to the game, you will begin to recognize some of
the differences between clubs. Brand-name clubs are more
expensive because of advertising, but also because of the
testing they do and the warranties they offer. At the very
least, ensure that your clubs have a good warranty that
backs up the company's claims.
