discount oakley golf ahoes shoes golf discount 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.

More specifically, on the left arm and wrist. The idea is to make your left arm and wrist very firm through impact to prevent either of them from breaking down. A broken down left side could lead to a fat or thin chip shot. This may be true, but in my own experiences, as well as what I have observed from other golfers, focusing on the left arm and wrist has led me to believe that there must be a better way. Too often, when people think of keeping their left side firm, they end up creating too much force on impact. They try to straighten out their left arm just before impact and by doing this, they produce unwanted clubhead speed. Almost every solidly struck bump-and-run chip shot I see from amateurs goes past the hole. Have you ever noticed this? It usually ends up short of the hole if it's hit heavily. What's worse is that I see a lot of these shots hit thin and going well past the hole. This is because the left arm actually lifts up too far in an effort to keep it straight and firm, and the club's leading edge hits the middle of the ball. Therefore, I think you would be better served to think of your right wrist while chipping. Try to keep the angle you form with your right wrist very constant through the impact area. This will simultaneously keep the left side firm, but you won't be as inclined to jerk your left side and produce too much force because you won't be focusing on your left side. This motion should feel like a pendulum. To hit the chip shot a bit shorter or further, simply alter the length of the swing. Your arms don't have to feel straight and rigid either; it should just feel as though everything is moving in unison. You will discover that by focusing on your right wrist, distance control with your chip shots will improve immensely. ------------------------------------------------------------ Questions? Comments?
