I would like to thank Mr Joe DeLorenzo for taking the
Time to answer these questions for us!

Joe is available for private lessons in the Chicago area.
If you are interested, let me know.

Joe is a very good instructor and does an excellent job, so if you
Are having a problem, send it to me and he will answer your
questions

A Bit of Golf Trivia
Who owns the all time record for most consecutive
tournaments without missing a cut, who is second, and
how many tournaments each? (answers are below)

Joe,
I cannot find a Taylormade ladies 11 wood which I
would like to own. I assume this is because they only
make these in hybrid clubs now. I guess I will need a
hybrid with a loft of 25 degrees. My question is do I
hit the hybrid with the U swing the way you do a
fairway wood, or do you swing it like an iron? Thank
you so much.
Elva Delks

Hi Elva,
Wow, an 11 wood must have a lot more loft than 25
degrees, I would be afraid the ball would pop up and
hit me in the nose. Anyway, I have found that most
people are not very successful using a different swing
for fairway woods, except for maybe single digit
handicappers. If you are in that group you must be a
very good ball striker. If not, I would recommend
using the same swing for all fairway shots, which
would be to hit down at the ball as you would with an
iron.
Joe

Joe,
I have a golf rule question: Yesterday my friends and
I played golf and when one of my one friends hit his
drive the ball broke into several pieces. What is the
rule?
Mickey

Hi Mickey,
Under Rule 5-3, you are allowed to play the shot over
again with no penalty.

Joe,
I really am reluctant to spend a lot of money on
having my swing analyzed to see what types of shafts
might be best for me. Is there a more simple method to
figure this out? Also, what is likely to happen if I
use the wrong type of shaft?
Ned

Hi Ned,
One way would be to use the 150 yard shot as a
benchmark. If you usually use a 9 or 8 iron for that
distance without overswinging, then you probably
should use stiff shafts. If you use a 7 or 6 iron for
that distance, you probably should use regular shafts.
If you use a 5 iron or more, you might do better with
a more flexible Senior or Ladies shaft. The amount of
flex in a shaft will vary from one brand to another,
so the same amount of flex might be called stiff for
one brand and regular for another, so this can be
confusing. Sometimes you must ask yourself what is
most important to you, distance or accuracy. A more
flexible shaft may add distance along with wildness. A
stiffer shaft may make you more accurate, but with
less distance. To answer your last question about what
would happen if you use the wrong shaft for your type
of swing, a slower swing speed with a stiffer shaft
will produce lower shots with less distance. A higher
swing speed with a shaft that is too flexible will
produce higher and wilder shots. Try to attend demo
days at a driving range where you can compare results
from different types of shafts and brands, and see
what works best for you.

Question for the Evil Twin:
Jody, I was vacationing in Florida recently, and I was
freaked out by a large alligator sitting next to a
pond beside the fairway. My shot just missed him and
he turned to look in my direction. I have heard for
short distances that alligators can run faster than
humans. Luckily I was riding a fast cart that day, but
what if I was walking?
Answer: All you have to do is run faster than only
one other person in your foursome.

Answer to the above Trivia Question: Tiger Woods
holds the record at 142 (some had no cuts), followed
by Byron Nelson at 111. Ironically, it was at the
Byron Nelson Championship in 2005 where Tiger's streak
was broken.

Seniors Advantage

Once upon a time...you were considered a "big hitter." But
now - you have trouble just getting the ball past the 150
marker on par 4's

Once upon a time...you could hit practically every green in
regulation. But now - you have to scramble just to make par
- or worse - BOGEY.

Once upon a time...you were a "contender" for the club
championship. But now...you're just one of the "dinosaurs"
of the club

Once upon a time...you were the up-and-coming hot shot at
the club...one that everyone wanted to play with. But now -
you're just some duffer that everybody wants to play
through on the long holes.

Or Even Worse...you were never that good to begin with, and
you're tired of all the instruction out there that's for
young golfers only...and...you want to finally be the best
that you can be.

Richard's Quick Tip

Start Swing With Hip Turn To Recapture Lost Distance

When golfers get beyond their 50th birthday, nature begins
to take its toll with a variety of ailments that work
against a good shoulder and hip turn. To help us senior
students recapture the full turn-and the distance it
provides-we should concentrate on starting the swing by
turning the right hip away from the ball. This rotation to
the right will bring along the left knee and also release
the left heel from the ground, making the proper weight
shift to the right almost automatic.

Until next time...good golfing!
