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 - 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?

discount oakley gokf shoes TODAY'S GOLF - Tuesday, September 14, 2004"Tips... News... And More... All For The Love Of The Game" ------------------------------------------------------------ Take a moment to answer GopherCentral's Question of the Week: Do you believe that the present Israeli espionage case warrants Congressional hearings? http://www.takepolls.com/21st/quest.asp?aid=18158 Question of the Week ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE: 1. Teeing Off -Long bunker shot quite a misunderstood shot 2. Pro Report - COURSES FACE A DAUNTING CLEANUP 3. Quote Of The Week TEEING OFF Long bunker shot quite a misunderstood shot It is often said that the long bunker shot is "the toughest shot in golf," but it would be more accurate to call it the "the most misunderstood shot in golf." Most golfers faced with a long bunker shot do exactly what they shouldn't do. They swing harder than they normally would for the distance at hand, they change how much sand they take behind the ball (hitting nearer the ball), and they try to carry the ball all the way to the hole. These mistakes lead to inconsistent results at best and complete flubs at worst. Swing with a smooth tempo and allow the ball to run. Instead, your goal should be to: (1) Take the same amount of sand, (2) swing with a smooth tempo, and (3) run the ball to the hole. The adjustments you should make are demonstrated by the golfer in the photos below. His goal is to hit a 50- yard sand shot that lands on the front of the green and runs to the hole. Again, you should not try to hit the sand nearer to the ball than normal for a long bunker shot. Stick with the same amount of sand you normally take and do not add more "effort" than normal with the hands and arms. ------------------------------------------------------------ NEVER Miss A Cellular Call Again Introducing the Bunny Flashing Cell Phone Chain for F-R-E-E Are you one of those types that always seems to miss phone calls on your Cell Phone?

There's been a redesign on many of your South Florida courses, courtesy of Hurricane Frances. Whether it was the storm surge that transformed Palm Beach Par 3 into a huge lake with 18 mounds barely visible (they're the greens), or the 200 fallen pine trees at Loblolly Pines Golf Club in Hobe Sound that have taken the bite out of the doglegs, Florida golfers will find radically changed golf courses. Whenever it is they get to play them again. "We've lost a lot of key trees that shape the doglegs," said Rick Whitfield, Loblolly's director of golf. "And we've got four fairways that are cover- ed with orange sand that blew out of the waste areas. It's like we've moved 20,000 cubic yards of dirt. It's unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it." Nobody else has, either. The first hurricane to strike this area in Eastern Florida in about 75 years will leave a lasting mark on the self-proclaimed Golf Capital of the World. While it's impossible to estimate the total damage -- golf course operators in the hardest-hit areas in Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties have had difficulty even reaching their courses, or being reached by phone -- the destruction is expected to be in the millions of dollars. This much seems obvious: Golf courses closest to the coastline, or north of where the eye made landfall or that have tree-lined fairways aren't going to be open for play any time soon. The most aptly named course these days is Lost Tree Club in North Palm Beach, which sustained major damage. (Any course with the word "Tree" in its name likely didn't fare well.) ------------------------------------------------------------ The 3D CRYSTAL COLLECTION A Magnificent Explosion of Light and Color Using the latest in LASER TECHNOLOGY each solid crystal block has been precisely etched to finest detail to show a beautiful 3D image.
