Ask The Pro 2. It's Good For Your Game - TONE DOWN THE TOE DANCE 3. BETTER BODY, BETTER GOLF - YOUR HAMSTRINGS Q: I have a problem with tending to hook the ball off the tee box after several holes. My friends tell me that my club face is shut. What can I do to practice a perfect path for the club? -- Art D., from the Web A: Click here for the answer hook ball club face shut IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME TONE DOWN THE TOE DANCE Lifting your front heel off the ground during the downswing, is not an action the general golfing public should copy. Elevating the heel shoves your weight suddenly to your toes, throws your whole body out of balance, and usually results in an off-center hit with the loss of both distance and accuracy. (You can read more about this in my book, "The LAWs of the Golf Swing," which shows you how to match your swing to your body type.) This toe dance is especially prevalent with juniors and women whose hamstring muscles, the muscles behind the thigh supporting the knee, are not as strong as their quadriceps muscles in the front of the thigh. Therefore, they rely more on the stronger quadriceps to stabilize the knees during the downswing. ------------------------------------------------------------ GEORGE CARLIN AT CARNEGIE HALL NOW ON DVD Easily His Best Stand-Up Performance To Date Taped before a sold-out house at New York City's Carnegie Hall, the performance represents a creative resurgence for Carlin, following a heart attack earlier that year.

The hamstrings are an important set of muscles when it comes to making your best swing. These are the large muscles in the back of the thigh that help connect the legs to the pelvis. Many golfers, especially men, have tight hamstrings that limit motion of the pelvis, making cor- rect hip rotation impossible. This restriction causes strain in other muscles of the lower back, contributing to the pain- ful "golfer's back" syndrome. One of the best exercises to keep your hamstrings in shape is as follows: Lie on your back in a doorway and extend your leg as straight as you can get it against the wall while the other leg is flat on the floor. Both knees should be straight and your butt against the wall. At first you may have to bend one or both of your knees to get into the position. But after a week or two your flexibility will improve enough that your knees can be fully extended, so be patient and don't force anything. Hold the position for a minute, then switch legs. Repeat at least three times for each leg. As always, consult your doctor or physiotherapist before doing these exercises to make sure they are right for you. -- T.J. Tomasi After a week or two of exercises, your flexibility will improve enough that your knees can be fully extended. |

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?
