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?

But each time the ball splashes into the drink. In utter frustration the golfer said, "Caddie, take my clubs on in, I'm going to jump into the water and drown myself." The caddie replied, "I doubt that, sir. You couldn't keep your head down long enough to drown!" ------------------------------------------------------------ *** SOFTWARE, SOFTWARE, SOFTWARE *** Get news and alerts on software that is available for f-r-e-e either on CDRom or by Download.

He has 15 mil- lion miles on his clubs, making him history's most-traveled professional athlete, and he's not slowing down. In the past three weeks, Player said he has gone across 40 time zones doing corporate outings and playing in golf tournaments. So what better person is there to talk to about Ernie Els' latest tussle with the PGA Tour over his world golf schedule? Els recently received a letter from PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem informing him that if he wants more than the standard three releases that a tour member annually receives to play in a "conflicting" event, he must play more than the minimum number of 15 tournaments. Player -- a South African like Els, and among the first golfers to play all over the world -- believes that's wrong. "Ernie wants to prove to everyone he's the best player in the world, not just the best player in the United States," Player said by phone recently from his ranch in Johannesburg, South Africa. "I applaud him for that. That was exactly my same ambition when I was his age. I wanted to be the best player in the world." So does Els. That's why he's the last globetrotting player left among the game's elite. No top player competes around the world more often. A big reason for this is Els loves those appearance fees that can rise above $300,000 in some cases. "To keep your card on the U.S. tour, you have to play 15 events and I have already played more than that, and I haven't finished yet," Els told repor- ters recently in London. "But they are saying they want over 20 and nothing abroad. Naturally, we have to sit down and talk, but one thing is for sure -- don't start putting a pad- lock around me. Don't make a barrier, because that's not going to work." Player praised Tiger Woods' efforts to promote the game around the world, but said he's saddened that so many top American players rarely travel outside the United States. He thinks that hurts not only their game, but the game. "To me, the ultimate test was to win around the world, because you had to adapt to different environments, customs, languages," Player said. "A lot of the American players are so pampered and so spoiled that if things aren't the way they want it or as nice as it is back home, they don't want to play there. Isn't it our responsibility to grow this game around the world?" Els will have played in 18 PGA Tour events this year, with seven of them the four majors and the three World Golf Championships. He has played in seven European events (besides the aforemen- tioned seven that count on both tours). Els also has played in Korea, Australia and South Africa this year. "I have great respect for Tim Finchem, but he needs to remember Ernie was not born in this country," Player said. "It reminds me of some- thing President Eisenhower said to me a long time ago: The world is a very big place, and the U.S. is a very small part of that. We need the world, and the world needs us." ------------------------------------------------------------ Questions? Comments?
