Walking Tall In Your Short Game

Many golf enthusiasts know how to start with powerful, straight,
long ranging shots that are beautiful to behold. However, if their
short game is lacking, it doesn't matter how powerful, straight,
or long that initial shot is. They will quickly rack up points on
their score cards that annihilate the gains they could have made
from the beginning. Here are a few tips to help you improve that
all-important short game.

Tip 1: Strategy.

Most trouble begins at 50 yards or less. Choosing the right
strategy is crucial at this point. When you're at this point of
the game, if you can find a way to putt the ball, then putt it.
But if there isn't a remote chance for a putt, then chipping is
the next strategy. But only if you can't possibly putt.

The clubs to use are (1) 7-iron, (2) pitching wedge, and (3) sand
wedge. You want to make the ball roll to the hole. The 7-iron rolls
the ball better then the pitching wedge. The pitching wedge rolls
better then the sand wedge. The lie of the ball will determine your
choice of club.

The higher the grass and rougher the terrain, the heavier the club
head. The last choice at the 50 yard distance is a pitch shot. This
is a regular golf shot, but it has a shorter adjusted backswing to
make allowances for the shorter distance.

Tip 2: Alignment.

The alignment will keep you from injury and increase your accuracy.
Your feet and club are about three feet away from each other. The
alignment of your club and shoulder is more important than your
feet. So focus regularly on aligning your shoulders and the club.

Tip 3: Fat shots.

"Fat shots" are when the club hits the ground before hitting the
ball. It's a common problem and it can lead to injury. Shifting
weight correctly is crucial as well as keeping your shoulder back
on the downswing. The tendency is to throw the right shoulder
ahead as you swing downward. Then accelerate through the ball.
Slowing down at the bottom of your swing will hit fat without fail.

Tip 4: Choosing a chipping club.

Almost any club can be used to chip, but to get the ball rolling
onto the green you need to be accurate. Here is a formula to choose
the right club for the shot.

Pitching Wedge - for every foot in the air it will roll approximately
1 foot.
9 Iron - for every foot in the air it will roll approximately 2 feet.
8 Iron - for every foot in the air it will roll approximately 3 feet.
7 Iron - for every foot in the air it will roll approximately 4 feet.
... etc.

Tip 5: Pitch distance control.

The length of the swing of you pitch shot will decide it's distance.
The longer backswing makes longer pitches and shorter backswing make
shorter pitches. Be careful to have a short backswing for a short
pitch, otherwise a longer backswing will cause you to lose speed on
the downswing.

The short game is the area where practice, practice, practice makes
perfect. If you only master a few elements of the short game, those
elements will take you from just so-so to breaking through that score
ceiling you've been caught in. Having the confidence in your short
game will help you to enjoy your time on the green more than you
thought possible.

==================================================

Joe's Quick Tip

Gauging the Trap Shot

One of the questions I hear all the time is "How hard should I
hit this trap shot?" The way I answer is this: "If you were
going to toss the ball underhand up to the pin from that spot,
how hard would you throw it? Try to picture that, and then swing
through with the club just as hard as you would swing through
with your hand if you were tossing the ball."

This analog holds no matter what part of a trap you are in.
For example, if you were going to throw the ball from under the
lip of a deep trap, you would throw more "up" and less "out." To
achieve this trajectory with your golf club, you hit the sand
three or four inches behind the ball, remembering to follow
through with your stroke.

On the other hand, if you were at the back edge of the trap, you
would toss the ball in a trajectory that would be less "up" but a
good distance "out." In this case, play the ball with an open
stance, and strike the ball first and the sand second, using very
little wrist action. If you remember this adjustment and still swing
as hard as you would toss the ball from that position, the ball will
have the right amount of carry.

Golf Potpourri

by

Mac Stevenson

Superb Balance Equals Superb Shots

Many golfers hit so many shots with poor balance that they
don't even recognize the problem. Following a coordinated
swing, you should be able to hold your follow through with
the weight on your left foot.

One of the most important and least emphasized fundamentals
of the golf swing is consistent balance. Keeping a steady
balance throughout the swing is much easier to talk about
than it is to achieve.

The proper stance and set up before you start your backswing
is vital; you should have your knees flexed slightly and bend
at the waist. And make sure your weight is evenly distributed
on both feet and keep your behind in a position like you're
about to sit down. If your weight is too far forward--on your
toes--when you begin your backswing, you'll never recover the
balance that you need to hit solid shots.

During warm up before you practice, swing the club slowly and
concentrate on maintaining the best balance that you can.
Then, as you gradually increase the tempo, focus on keeping
your balance as steady as possible.

By maintaining your best possible balance during the swing, you
will improve the tempo of your swing without thinking about it.
The swing has to be smooth in order to keep an even weight
distribution. In other words, your swing tempo will improve
when you're thinking only of balance.

On full shots, keep your left foot solidly planted on the ground.
Don't raise your left heel like pros used to teach; you'll get
the weight shift you need without raising your left heel.

If your natural swing rhythm becomes too fast on any shot, you'll
lose your balance and mishit the shot. Everyone has a natural
tempo; you have to learn how to maintain your balance and stay
within your inherent swing speed. It doesn't take much to throw
off your balance just enough to miss the shot; keeping everything
smooth on the takeaway is the start to excellent swing balance.

It's important to keep your stability from the waist down on tee
shots with the driver. If you sway (let your weight get to the
outside of your back leg), you'll lose balance and power on your
drives.

On full iron shots, swaying is a periodic problem for golfers of
all skill levels. It's imperative to keep a solid, balanced lower
body on full iron shots; if you lose your balance, you will either
hit behind the ball or hit it thin. A steady and smooth and slight
weight shift will enable you to hit your full iron shots solid and
that's where power and accuracy come from.

A firm base and controlled balance is just as important-- or more
so--on short shots as it is on full shots. Everyone thinks it's
simple to keep a steady stance on chip- and pitch shots. Not so.
On short pitches and chips, you should sense a very slight rocking
motion in your legs and feet, but very solid balance of your lower
body throughout the shot. If you sway at all, your head will move
and you'll hit the shot thin or fat.

These same fundamentals apply to putting. Contrary to popular
belief, it's easy to get stroke-destroying body movement on your
putts. And that's fatal. Watch the pros on TV when they putt;
their lower bodies are absolutely anchored during the putting
stroke. Nothing should move from the waist down while you're
putting. If you have body movement, your balance will be off
and it will be impossible to have a smooth putting stroke.

Practice finishing your full swing with your weight perfectly
balanced on your left foot and leg at the completion of the shot.
When you're having problems with your game, check your balance on
all shots. It's very easy to allow unwanted movement that causes
poor stability during full- or short shots, and often you aren't
aware that you're doing it.

Working on a coordinated swing balance will improve your game on
all shots. Good balance leads to good shots.

==================================================

Joe's Quick Tip

The Fundamental Explosion Shot

It doesn't happen very often but every now and then you hear
reports that this or that professional purposely played his
approach shot to a treacherous green into a greenside trap--in
order to be certain of getting down in two shots. I mention this
not because it is a strategy I would recommend, but it does serve
to emphasize how confident most pros feel about trap shots.

For the average golfer, on the other hand, this is the shot he
fears most of all. He plays it with a wavering mind and trembling
hand. He muffs it, and so it remains the shot he fears the most.

When you are exploding from loose sand, you must play a very
firm stroke with a purposeful follow-through. Your wedge should
enter the sand about an inch behind the ball. It should drive
through the sand in a straight furrow some six inches long. Or
to put it another way, the club head continues to plow through
the sand for five inches or so past the spot where the ball lay.

If you stay down over the shot and concentrate on plowing a
straight furrow, I can assure you that you will soon be on your
way to becoming a confident trap player.

==========================================

Quote:

"One of the best I've seen at keeping his routine constant in the
most critical situations is Lee Trevino. He takes the same
amount of time and makes the same moves for a shot that will win
him a major championship as he does in a practice round."

--Al Geiberger

Thanks for helping out. "Keep Polishing Your Wheel" If you are new to my newsletter, welcome aboard. My mission is to help you lower your score by increasing your awareness of how your mind processes information and providing you with insights on how to improve your mental game. It is important for my new subscribers to get up to speed as quickly as possible. If you truly desire to lower your score, read my book and listen to my CD (part one) before and (part two) after you play as well as read my mental tip newsletters. Once you have done your homework, you will have laid the foundation to have one of the best mental games around. The next step is to continue to work on improving your mental game (polish your wheel) until these insights become an instinctive part of your mental makeup. My advice to my old subscribers is to keep polishing your wheel if you want your scores to continue to fall. Since my mental tips are designed to enhance and reinforce your understanding of "The Mental Keys," keep reading them as well as rereading my book from time to time. Some of my newsletters contain new tips and others repeat past tips to refresh your tape. If you keep polishing your wheel, your scores will continue to fall. I guarantee it! Once in awhile, I send out a Golf Announcement to inform you of other golf products that will help you to polish your wheel. Please take a serious look at them. Play well and keep polishing your wheel, Michael Anthony P.S. Once you read this section "Keep Polishing Your Wheel" several times, you can skip it in future newsletters and go directly to the "Golfers Locker Room Bulletin Board" for inspiring success stories or updates from me. After several repetitions, just seeing the words "Keep Polishing Your Wheel" will automatically remind you to keep working on improving your mental game. Click for access to my private mental tip archive GOLFERS LOCKER ROOM BULLETIN BOARD I am pleased to announce that you can listen to my mental golf tips weekly at GolfSmarterTips Podcast. Special Announcement I'm pleased to inform you of the SeniorGolfExchange.com. It's a Private Members' Club for Home and Hospitality Exchange - for senior golfers worldwide. Golf travel experiences money can't buy - whether playing or watching. Because they have just launched their exchange program, they are looking for Foundation Members (the ground breakers, pioneers or early adopters ) who won't be put off by the fact they won't yet find hundreds of Members listed. To remove all financial risk for my Newsletter subscribers who take up Foundation Membership on my recommendation to check them out, they will not invoice their Joining Fee until you have successfully arranged your first exchange through them, which will save far more than the $99 Joining Fee. This delayed invoicing of the Joining Fee is in addition to the $0 Annual Subscriptions for the first two years for Foundation Members. The SeniorGolfExchange.com has never allowed this offer to be made before, which is in recognition of the value they place on the quality of my Subscriber List, and the credibility of my recommendation to check them out. I am not receiving any compensation for making this recommendation. I'm doing it to help Graeme Smith, its founder, get his valuable program off the ground. If you want more information about the SeniorGolfEchange.com or would like to take advantage of his generous offer to become one of its Foundation Members, click here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It makes my day when you email me your success stories or ask for my help after you have read my book and listened to my CD. Don't be shy. It is always good to share positive feedback with your fellow golfers. Your generosity in sharing your experiences with others will help inspire them to keep polishing their wheel and help you sink an extra putt or two :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MENTAL TIP by MICHAEL ANTHONY "The Monkey Mind" If you have read "The Mental Keys" and many of my mental tips or listened to my CD "Polish the Wheel," you have heard me tell you over and over to focus on improving the process and allow the outcome to take care of itself. Part of the process is to play in the present without thinking, especially about the future outcome. By doing this you optimize your brain's chemistry and dramatically increase your ability to perform. If you are fortunate to be able to play in the zone, you know from personal experience the fastest way to lose the zone is to start thinking about the outcome. The quickest way to lower your score is to stop thinking about the outcome, focus on your target and instinctively hit the ball. Since many golfers have been programmed by society to be outcome oriented, here is an image called the "monkey mind" that may help you let go of your propensity to hold onto outcome thinking. In India monkeys are pests and people don't like to have them around. They catch monkeys by making cages with bars just big enough for a monkey's fingers to slip through. Inside the cage they place a shiny object that is very attractive to monkeys. When monkeys see this shiny object, they slide their fingers through the bars to grab it and won't let go. Rather, than letting go of the shiny object to be free, the monkey holds on and gets caught. Your mind is restless and loves to think. When addressing the ball, your mind will think about many things, especially the outcome, if you let it. Start viewing these thoughts as shiny objects. Decide if you want to continue holding onto these shiny objects or let go of them and be free to play on instinct. Instead of holding onto these shiny objects with a "monkey mind," let them go. You can attain control of your mind by constantly striving to let go of your thoughts. You do this by focusing totally on your target and seeing your ball when you hit it. Once you accomplish this, your mind will be free of thoughts and your scores will fall.   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Super Bonus... When you order my book and CD, you will receive my new book Michael Anthony's Mental Golf Tips, which contains 75 of my favorite mental tips. If you read a tip a day, you will be amazed at how much it will help you to keep polishing your wheel and shoot lower scores. If you are not working on improving your mental game, you are playing golf with only half of the equipment. If you have not read The Mental Keys to Improve Your Golf, your mental game will benefit greatly by seeing the whole picture instead of just pieces contained in these mental tips. My book gives you the tools to improve your mental game. My CD Polish the Wheel makes it much easier to keep using them. "To develop a great mental game, it's critical to realize that your mental state affects the chemistry of your brain which in turn affects your ability to perform. Then, it's just a matter of reprogramming your mind to optimize your chemistry so you can play in the zone." - Michael Anthony Click Now to Lower Your Score   "The Mental Keys to Improve Your Golf" Michael Anthony P.O.

RE: Seth, a free online golf video...

Hi Seth,

I hope you had an amazing weekend and took
some time to reflect on what's important...

As somebody was kind enough to point out, I'm
a little slow on the draw sometimes. I was
working so hard around the clock to get the
video done, I didn't even realize it was a Holiday
weekend.

As a result, a few people didn't get a chance to
watch it. I'm not sure if you're in that boat but
I wanted to re-send the email just in case.

And of course, if you already checked it out, you
can disregard this message and hit the links.

Enjoy :)

1) Your video is finally ready. The "7 Yards
in 7 Minutes" technique is deceptively simple
and I think you're going to fall in love with it.

The link to the video is further down in this
message...

2) A couple of weeks ago I sent out a survey asking
about your results with our videos, and how they
have impacted your golf game... and I just can't
believe the response!

I was completely stunned by how many of you took
the time to complete the survey and give such
excellent feedback.

I tell you one thing was really clear -- the
question about getting instant online access to
our golf videos got an overwhelmingly positive
response.

There are a lot of golfers out there who would
love to be able to watch the videos online (or even
download them to your ipod to watch at the range.)

So many of you were interested that I got to working
and have almost finished getting the first video
online.

And I'm going to give it away for free!

If you want to get the video when it's ready, just
go to this website and enter your information into
the form:

http://www.thinkandreachpar.net

I'll let you know as soon as it's ready to watch.

I am also starting a Priority Notification List
for people who might be interested in my new
"Online Dvd Of The Month Club".

Once we open this thing up, the number of people we
can take will be severely limited (because the
website can only handle so many people watching the
videos at once.)

The best way to get a chance at joining the club
is to sneak on the Priority Notification List.

FINALLY!!!!!!

It seems like this little gem has taken me 2.5 years
to create but it's finally complete... and it's a huge
sigh of relief on my behalf.

You'll have the "7 Yards in 7 Minutes" video tomorrow
so you can use it this weekend.

You're going to love it!

The ground has finally thawed out up here in New Hampshire
and I showed to buddies I was golfing with this technique.

One friend added 8 yards and the other 10 -- and that was
consistently, not just a one shot deal.

I'm psyched about it and I know you will be too.

Golf Potpourri

by

Mac Stevenson

The Best of All Practice Methods

The 2008 golf season is here and it's a perfect time to
analyze your practice methods.

Going to the driving range and hitting the conventional
bucket of balls is the most common method of practicing for
the great majority of golfers. It isn't, however, the best
way to fine-tune your game.

The best practice method is by yourself on the golf course.
You can either walk and carry a light bag with just a few
clubs or take a cart and use every club in your bag. Both
routines have advantages:

* If you use a light carry-bag and take a driver, three-wood,
five-iron, seven-iron, sand wedge, and a putter--that's all you
need. You can alternate the clubs you use for this practice
method.

* Using a cart has advantages too. You'll have all your clubs
and can hit every club in your bag. And you can skip around the
course to holes that don't have any players on them.

* The accessories that you'll need include a divot-repair tool,
plenty of tees, and at least 10 used golf balls. You should use
old balls in case you hit a few wild shots and want to move on
without retrieving them.

* By practicing on the course, you can hit every shot that you
encounter during a regular round of golf:

* Full shots off downhill or side hill lies are tough for almost
all amateur golfers. Instructional videos are available that
describe the proper method for these tricky shots. Copy the
important fundamentals on a 3x5 file card and carry it with you
for quick reference on the course.

* Short pitch shots from tight lies, often over sand traps, are
almost impossible. Have you ever tried running this shot through
the trap with a three or four iron? Sometimes--in a match where
you have to get it close--this might be your only chance. You'll
be amazed at your ability to improvise shots when you're practicing by yourself; everyone becomes too stereotyped on how
they play some of these confidence-shattering shots.

* Pitch shots played from just off the green in heavy rough can
be improved immeasurably with practice. These are demanding
shots and the only way you can master them is by practicing from
the green-side rough.

* Four different sand shots strike fear into the souls of many
golfers: normal lie, downhill lie, uphill lie, and buried lie.
They aren't hard. It's very important to carry note cards on how
to hit each of these shots. Practice the proper fundamentals on
how to execute each of these shots and you'll be amazed at how
much you can improve in a short time.

* Long putts with big breaks cannot be practiced on most putting
clocks. Learning how to lag these long, breaking putts close to
the hole can cut several strokes off your scores.

* An approach shot that comes to rest on the edge of the putting
surface against the first cut of rough can be a killer. You've
seen the pros hit this shot by blading a sand wedge. This is not
a smart approach for amateurs; it's better to experiment with a
putter or chipping club (anything from a seven iron to a sand
wedge) to find out which works best for you.

The advantages of doing your practicing on the golf course rather
than the driving range are numerous indeed. This isn't to say
that practice on the driving range is not beneficial because it is. But practice on the course will help more over the long haul.

One of the most important benefits is that you don't use the same
level stance and hit the same shot with the same club over and
over. And when you're on the course, you can work on shots that
have been giving you the most trouble during actual play.

While practicing on the course, it's possible to work on your
short game, which you can't do at the driving range. This is
particularly true of sand shots and difficult pitch shots out of
the rough.

Choose a pace that you're comfortable with. Playing four balls
for nine holes is the equivalent of 36 holes of golf and may be
too tiring; practice will be counterproductive if you become
exhausted. Playing five or six holes with three or four balls
may be plenty to begin with.

By using this three- or four-ball practice method under actual
playing conditions, you'll be surprised at how much you can
improve your game and confidence. Find your comfort zone with
this routine and you'll discover you've never enjoyed practicing
so much. And your game will show it.

==================================================

Joe's Quick Tip

Time for some Tee?

The position of your head during the swing should not be
overlooked. If you raise your head as you swing back, you likely
will raise your shoulders too, and that will put your swing out
of whack. And if you raise your head as you swing down and
through, you'll likely top the ball.

Here's how you can test to make sure your head stays on track.
Place a tee (longest one possible) in your mouth just before you
address your ball on the practice range. Take your stance with
the pointed end of the tee pointing directly at the ball (or,
rather, the target line). Swing back, then stop at the top of
your backswing.

The tee should still be pointing at the target line. Now swing
down and through, but stop your swing just before your wrists break. If the tee is still pointing at the target line, your
head rotation is excellent. If not, then try moving your head
back and forth-no club is necessary for this exercise-while
keeping the tee pointing at the target line. This is the head
position you want when you make your swing.

Golf Potpourri

by

Mac Stevenson

Don't Let Distractions Destroy Round

When you hit a golf shot while someone in your group
is talking and you hit the shot well, you congratulate
yourself on your self control and ability to concentrate
under difficult circumstances. But what happens when
you miss the shot? If you're like most of us, you
become furious with whoever is causing the distraction.

You might say something, or you might keep it bottled up
inside, but the damage is done either way. And chances
are your emotions are out of kilter and will cause a
negative reaction on your next shot as well.

Golf is difficult enough without having to deal with a
number of annoying mental and physical distractions that
can destroy a good round.

The number-one cause of aggravation and loss of
concentration among serious golfers is fellow players who
won't shut their mouths while you're trying to putt or
hit a shot.

When confronted, these motor mouths give the excuse that
they're just out for a good time and anyone who is
bothered by their talking is taking the game too seriously.
The reality is that the talker is either dumber than a box
of rocks, being inconsiderate of the other players, or both.

Some of the loudmouths will say, "Football and basketball
players have to get used to the noise, why can't you?"

That's so ignorant it doesn't merit a rejoinder; the sports
are entirely different.

Way, way too many golfers won't be quiet while their playing
companions are trying to hit a shot. And it can ruin the
round if you're trying to play your best.

How can you let these non-stop talkers know that you're upset
without starting an all-out war? The best way is to step away
from the shot or putt and give the guy a direct look to let
him know he's being a nuisance. This usually works, but some
players are oblivious to everything but themselves or just
plain stupid.

When you run into a compulsive talker that won't take the hint,
you have a problem. The next step is to back away from the
shot and say, "Fore please." That should do it. Of course by
then you're mad and motor mouth is mad and the golf is ruined.

There's just no easy way to solve this problem of rudeness
without a direct confrontation with the obnoxious talker. And
then make sure you don't play with him again.

Two other common and unwanted agitations are cars going by and
honking or players yelling from an adjacent fairway. In most
cases, you can back off from the shot and start over with no
harm done.

Another disturbing habit some players have is standing in your
line--behind the pin--on a chip shot or putt. This is much like
the talker; the only way to solve the problem is by asking Mr.
Dimbulb to get out of the way. Or you can decide it's not worth
the confrontation and go ahead and putt or chip. Either way your
concentration on the shot is destroyed. And if you proceed and
hit the putt or chip poorly, then you're really mad.

One thing you can do in this situation is to tell yourself that,
if you're focused, you won't be able to see Dimbulb while you're
striking the ball. But the problem is that you won't be
concentrating on the shot.

Some players think you should putt those troublesome two-footers
without marking your ball and waiting. That depends on what you're
comfortable with.

If you hurry a putt and miss it just to get out of the way, you'll
be so angry with yourself that it will take several holes to get
over it; by that time your score and matches will be in a state of
disrepair.

That's not to say you should play slow, but some two-foot putts are
tough and it's perfectly all right to be sure you're ready before
you putt.

Occasionally during a round you won't feel right over a shot for
any number of reasons. Most of us go right ahead and hit
anyway--missing it badly.

This might happen just once or twice in several rounds, but when
it does, it's important to back off and start over.

Once in a while you might not feel right about how or where you've
teed up your ball to start a hole. If you're not comfortable with
the placement, take the time to move and tee it up again. Don't
hit it because you're afraid of being portrayed as a slow player.

And this doesn't mean you should take extra time on every tee.
These are infrequent instances involving an uncomfortable feeling
when you're not set up correctly on the tee.

It's vital to learn how to control your temper and maintain
concentration when one of your playing companions is rude enough
to distract you. And it's a lot easier said than done.

==================================================

Joe's Quick Tip

Left Shoulder Low

A common fault among poor putters is the accidental lifting of
the head. We say accidental because even though the player
concentrates on keeping his head still throughout a putt, he has
a tendency to lift his left shoulder on the follow-through-and
that makes the head move up.

You can overcome this fault simply by concentrating on keeping
the lift holder low throughout the putting motion.

When you contact the ball and follow through, keep your left
shoulder low. An added benefit: The face of your putter remains
square to the target line slightly longer.

==========================================

"Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now.
Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you
happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time
you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family.
Every minute should be enjoyed and savored."

Pumping Iron - 5 Tips To Improving Golf Play With Your Irons...

Pumping Iron - 5 Tips To Improving Golf Play With Your Irons

With so much attention placed on driving the ball longer
with your wood clubs, most golfers tend to neglect
practicing enough with their irons. The irony is that
working on using your irons can give you drastic improvements
in your game. Some of these techniques may seem simplistic or
humorous. I urge you to try them anyway to a positive change
with your irons.

Tip 1: The two-club approach.

Try this technique: have a long practice section Using just
two clubs, the 56 degree sand wedge and the 8 iron. If you
learn to use them well, you will help to shave points off of
your score card. Controlling the distance on a chip shot with
a less lofted club is accomplished by controlling the
trajectory and the spin.

Controlling the trajectory is learned by your own experience
with the club, but the spin is controlled by the angle of the
head of the club when approaching the ball. A steep approach
will put more spin on a ball. That throws the ball off line
when it lands on the green, then speed becomes erratic.

When in low cut grass you don't need a downward swing. Your
club should be level to the ground. Just sweep the ball off
the turf. In grass that covers over half the ball, use a
slightly downward swing. Avoid hitting the grass first or
you'll chunk the shot. Using this method is not spectacular,
but you'll find you have more control of your game. Practice
using these two clubs for a while and see what happens.

Tip 2: Ten minute practice sessions.

Take ten minutes a day to practice chipping and pitching golf
balls. This may sound simplistic, but it can help to shave 3
strokes off your game. Use a kiddy pool, a circle of rope,
whatever you can move easily.

Start hitting shots at your target from random distances. This
will give you a feel for differences in distance. Find a favorite
club that you can use for most of your pitch shots, then work on
trajectory control as well as distance. Hit some balls high, low,
and in between. Practicing for ten minutes daily will give you
confidence on the course for whatever you run into.

Tip 3: Move your circle.

Chipping a three foot circle around a hole is something you have
heard numerous times. But, instead of chipping to a circle around
the hole, chip to a circle below the hole and leave yourself with
an easy uphill putt. These will be easier to hole in and much less
stressful.

Tip 4: Iron sharpens iron.

Remember where I said some tips may sound humorous? It's simple
to do, easy to accomplish, and a powerful way to learn how to use
your irons more effectively. Leave your woods at home. This may
sound ludicrous, but if you will try this for one round, you'll
find that it will have a significant impact your game.

Your mind will start to work on thinking of different strategies
of the game, making you more aware of these strategies when you
next play with a full set of clubs. You'll find that the
different perspectives that you get from playing this way will
have a definite affect on your game.

Tip 5: Be still.

There are lots of ways to make a pitch shot. But whatever method
you choose to use, it will work better if you keep your body as
still as possible. Don't do a lot of movements with your body to
get set for the shot. Simply lean on the front of your foot more
than the back. This will drop the front shoulder down and the
back shoulder up. When in this position, by keeping your body
still, your swing will go downward and strike the ball correctly.

Easy and simple.

Try them! See what happens with your score card and how much more
you'll enjoy your game.

==================================================

Joe's Quick Tip

The Weak Chip

To keep your left wrists from collapsing on chips, weaken the
grip of your left hand. This doesn't mean you should grip less
tightly. Weakening the grip means that you should move your left
hand to the left, in a counterclockwise direction. If your
wrists had broken, your left hand would have moved to the
position it now occupies, so you've effectively taken the break
out of your wrists.

Notice also that the back of your left hand now faces down your
target line. Keep the hand moving toward the target when you
chip, and you'll be right on line.

Golf Potpourri

The PGA Tour--She Ain't What She Used to be

The PGA Tour is changing, and not for the better.
Golf in general has changed greatly since the
decades of the 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.

The biggest transformation has been in the equipment.
Many of the professional golfers on tour average
over 300 yards on their drives; this is because of
the metal heads and graphite shafts on the drivers
and the hot golf balls that keep adding more
distance.

If you haven't noticed, many of the big names are
skipping more tournaments than they play. Tiger
Woods and Phil Mickelson are two prime examples.

And who's to blame them.

With tournament play and endorsements, Tiger made
more than 100 million dollars in 2006. Woods can
pick and choose the few tournaments he wants to play
in.

This shouldn't matter much, but it does; when Tiger
Woods is absent, TV ratings drop drastically during
those tournaments. And so does the number of paying
on-course fans. Few, if any, professional athletes in
any sport have ever had the charisma and drawing power
that Tiger possesses on the PGA Tour.

In the late 1940s and 1950s, great golfers like Sam
Snead, Julius Boros, Byron Nelson, and Ben Hogan were
dominant on the PGA Tour. But they had plenty of
competition and the players had to make money in
tournaments they entered or the family finances were
in trouble.

Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer were rivals when Nicklaus
won his first U.S. Open in 1962. But they had plenty of
fierce competition from the likes of Gary Player, Hale
Irwin, Ray Floyd, Lee Trevino, Billy Casper, and many
others. Tom Watson became one of the tour's leading
players in the late 1970s and 80s.

In those days, the biggest names played in almost every
tournament on the tour. They had to finish high in the
standings to make any significant money. That was
pressure that today's tour players don't face.

If you take a close look at the current PGA money list
through May 1, the figures are staggering:

#1--Tiger Woods $4,425,000 in 5 tournaments

#2--Phil Mickelson $2,488,830 in 9 tournaments

#3--Geoff Ogilvy $2,147,400 in 9 tournaments

#4--Stewart Cink $2,105,512 in 9 tournaments

#5--Vijay Singh $2,092,417 in 10 tournaments

#6--K.J. Choi $1,801,432 in 9 tournaments

#7--Justin Leonard $1,786,402 in 12 tournaments

#8--Boo Weekley $1,768,985 in 12 tournaments

#9--Adam Scott $1,540,444 in 6 tournaments

#10--J.B. Holmes $1,536,195 in 11 tournaments

And to further illustrate that the PGA Tour is great way
to make a living, the player who is 100th on the money
list, Michael Letzig, has collected $374,653 in 11
tournaments.

These money winnings are for the 2008 season, which is
less than half over. When the player listed 100th on the
money list has made close to a half million dollars, it's
easy to understand why the intense competition of years
gone by is missing.

One other thing to consider is that these dollar figures
do not include advertising money or endorsements; those
numbers can be staggering.

It's difficult to compare players of different eras, even
more so today because of the changes in equipment. But the
mental toughness isn't there with the current members of the
PGA Tour.

Tiger Woods is, by far, the best of today's tour players.
But he has a darkening cloud hanging over his great record:
Woods has never come from behind in the final round to win a
major tournament. That's when Nicklaus, Trevino, Palmer, and
the rest of the great players of their era were at their best.

TV coverage, except for the majors, has become boring. For
one thing, they show so much putting that it's enough to put
you to sleep. And a number of the announcers try to be comics
rather than commentators.

Johnny Miller is an exception; Miller's broadcasting is
outstanding and he tells it just like it is. He often teams
with Andy North, Judy Rankin, and Dottie Pepper, who are also
talented and entertaining on TV.

Without Tiger Woods, the tour would be in trouble. Most of the
money comes from TV and the corporate sponsors, and Woods creates
the interest that brings in the money.

What's missing on today's tour is the spirit of competition that
existed in the aforementioned decades. This lack of
competitiveness shows up in the Ryder Cup Tournament, where the
soft American team has been humbled in recent years.

Too much money and too much coddling causes today's pros to fold
when the pressure is on. Financial problems are inevitable if the
TV money ever tightens up, and that seems certain if the competition
doesn't improve.

The tour needs some young guns who are talented and tough enough to
challenge Woods, but today all of them are just rich youngsters with
pop guns.

==================================================

To everybody responded to the survey... thank you.

It helped me out tremendously and I will be able
to provide you with better information in turn.

Just to let you know, we have to go re-shoot the
video that's coming your way for providing feedback.

The video editor wasn't happy with one particular
scene so we're going to rework it a little.

It should be in your lap next week.

===========================================

Joe's Quick Tip

A Towel A Day Keeps the Shank Away

This quick little exercise takes 5 minutes a day
and is fantastic for strengthening your hands
and forearms.

Take an ordinary bath towel and squeeze it between
your hands - rotating back and forth with as much
might as you can possibly muster.

So as one hand rotates away from you, the other
simultaneously rotates toward you.

This is a great tool for adding distance to your
drives and prevents cocking of the hands too
quickly on your backswing (which is a very common
mistake with a lot of high-scoring golfers).

Golf Potpourri

Scrambles Strategy Deserves Serious Thought

In tournament play and everyday golf, the scrambles format has
become one of the most popular in golf. Playing scrambles does
one thing that is vitally important to the game of golf:
It speeds up play. A lot.

In a scrambles format, the rules are simple. Each golfer on
a two- or four-player team tees off on every hole and the best
shot of the team is used for the next shot. The same routine
is used for every shot until the team is on the green. When
the team reaches the green, all members putt the ball that is
closest to the hole until it is made.

Putting is much faster because only one of the players in the
foursome has to hole the team putt. If the first player to
putt makes the initial putt, then the foursome uses just one
putt on the hole. Consequently, some holes are completed very
quickly.

Golf courses across the nation should be encouraging groups of
players--who are just out for some fun and don't play often or
well--to use the scrambles format. It's a great way to speed
up play and unskilled players have more fun because they don't
slow up the whole golf course.

In tournaments, scrambles play allows golfers of widely varying
skill levels to compete together as a team. Even men and women
can play on the same team, which is called a mixed scrambles.

If one or two of the team members are high handicappers, they
just pick up their poor shots and hit from the location of the
best shot. It quickens the pace of play and that is essential
in today's game.

Strategy in some scrambles tournament can be casual, but it is
crucial in a serious event.

As an example, on the tee shot it's sound planning to have the
most consistent driver on the team hit first. If he or she can
put the ball in play in the fairway, it takes the pressure off
the other team members. A long hitter can relax and let it go
without worrying about hitting it off line.

Each team should have a captain who makes the final decisions
as to what order the team hits and which shot they use.
Usually, this is the player with the lowest handicap.

It's important to have a captain who is smart enough to
understand the strengths and weaknesses of teammates before a
decision is made on which shot to use. A team needs to use
everyone's talent; for instance, there might be only one team
member who is comfortable pitching over a trap. It might be wiser
to use a longer shot out on the fairway where any of the players
might get lucky and hit it close.

Putting strategy is crucial and differs greatly from two- and
four-player teams.

A four-player team is not likely to 3-putt if the players don't
get careless; however, a 3-putt can occur on a two-player team if
the approach putt is difficult.

Most scrambles are four-player teams. When this is the case, the
worst putter should lead off and show the better putters the line.
This should be determined before you start and it should be handled
diplomatically, so no one is embarrassed. On long putts, it's wise
to encourage the first putter to try and lag it close so 3-putting
is taken out of the equation.

Conversely, the captain wants the best pressure putter in the
cleanup slot. Tension mounts for the last putter on a four-player
team when each teammate has missed a tricky three-footer.

Don't offer your opinion on the line of a putt unless you're asked by
the player who is about to putt. Four different estimates on what a
putt will do can confuse a player so much that the chance for a good
stroke dissolves.

Numerous high handicappers refuse to use enough club on par threes.
This can test the captain's diplomacy; it's for the good of the team
if you can convince this type player to hit enough club to reach the
green, even if it means hitting a driver on a 150-yard hole. One
lucky shot can make the difference in winning or losing.

Captains should lead the way in complimenting teammates when they hit
a good shot. This keeps spirits high and allows players to stay loose.
In serious scrambles, the pressure can get pretty tight in certain
situations.

No matter what, don't show disgust when a teammate hits a bad shot
or putt; they're trying hard and feel a lot worse about a poor shot
than you do.

The best thing about the scrambles format is that everyone on
the team is pulling for each other to do well. Individually, when you
hit a really bad shot, you can just forget it and go on to the next one.

Scrambles tournaments are great for making new friends; they
have certainly become popular among the great majority of
amateur golfers.

Joe's Quick Tip

Down and Through on the Chip

Players experiencing trouble with their chips and pitches
usually create their difficulty with improper movement of the
hands and the clubhead through the ball. The clubhead must
contact the ball crisply while moving down and through the ball.
This is just the reverse of the ineffectual flip which results
when the hands are allowed to slow down and stop, and the wrists
break sharply up at impact.

The short chip shot from a few feet off the putting surface
should be played with one of the less lofted clubs, such as the
five-iron, held low on the grip. You should use a narrow,
slightly open stance with the knees relaxed. The clubhead should
be taken straight back away from the ball, with the length of
the backswing controlling the distance the ball will travel.
Since in the full backswing there should be no breaking of the
wrists until the hands are hip-high, a chip shot (which requires
less backswing) should have very little wrist break either going
back or on the follow-through.

To achieve the proper action of the hands and clubhead, one of
the best methods of practice is to place one ball where you
would ordinarily play it--off the left heel--and another ball
about four or five inches in front of that ball. Practice until
you can strike both balls cleanly with the same swing, and you
will find that your execution, as well as your confidence in the
shot will improve.
