Oakley Bob Shoes TODAY'S GOLF - Tuesday, MAy 11, 2004"Tips... News... And More... All For The Love Of The Game" ------------------------------------------------------------ To SUBSCRIBE visit: http://www.gophercentral.com/sub/sub-golf.html Subscribe ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE: 1. TEEING OFF - Don't get wristy 2. PRO REPORT - A chip without the flip 3. QUOTE OF THE WEEK TEEING OFF Don't get wristy A wrist- or hand-dominated motion can be useful in certain situations around the green, where less-than-perfect lies mandate a conscious manipulation of the clubhead. However, being wristy or handsy on the tee, where the objective is to generate maximum power and distance, is a definite no-no. With the big stick, you should strive to keep your hands and wrists as quiet-or passive-as possible. That's especially true during the backswing. The club should be taken away in a one-piece motion with a full shoulder turn and with the big muscles in the legs and torso controll- ing the swing. Only when the golf club reaches the waist level should the wrists begin to hinge. For many golfers, there's a temptation to control the club with the hands. That's the "hitting instinct" taking over- the preconditioned idea that we somehow have to supply all the power with our arms and hands. Bag that instinct and let the golf club do the work. That's what it's designed to do. The hands and wrists should remain passive through the beginning of the downswing, which is triggered by a weight shift and turn toward the left side. Only after the arms have started their downward route-a move more or less dictated by gravity-should you attempt to create accelera- tion with the arms and hands. At that point-defined as "pre-impact"-the sensation with the hands and arms should be that of cracking a whip or hitting a smash with a tennis racquet or ping-pong paddle. The key is to think "faster," not "stronger." The best way to achieve this is to have relaxed wrists throughout the swing and not try to force anything. More relaxed arms and wrists always equals more power. Until the moment of truth, keep your smaller muscles out of the picture and allow the bigger muscles to take charge. ------------------------------------------------------------ Stop ignoring your body. You need the POWER WRIST Power up your wrists and forearms with the Power Wrist. People constantly ignore this important part of their work out routine. Wrist and forearm strength helps improve the power needed for golf, tennis, bowling, basketball and most any other sport. Plus, there is no mistaking that firm, powerful handshake that comes from a strong wrist and arm. Don't waste time with wrist curls - just slip the adjustable power wrist over your forearm and start blasting those wrists. Foam-padded for comfort and designed for maximum results. Carry it anywhere and work out any time of day.

This error leads to a myriad of bad results, including skulls, fat shots, sky balls and spinners. To stop the flip, you must quiet your hands. Imagine your hands are clamps, not for crushing but for securing the club so it can respond to the gentle rotation of your chest and the swinging of your arms without any self- hinging. To feel this synchronized motion, use a drill suggested by shot game specialist David Pelz: Put both hands on your hips (thumbs toward the front) and squeeze your elbows toward each other to fuse your upper and lower body. Keeping your weight centered in your front hip, pivot back and through so you finish facing the target with all your weight on the front foot and just the toes of the back foot on the ground for balance. Do this as many times as it takes for you to feel the synchronization. This motion allows you to control the distance of your shots by simply changing the length of your swing. You need not use your hands or wrists for power. ------------------------------------------------------------ Take Our Educational Survey-Get FREE Webster's Encyclopedia This is the largest educational survey ever undertaken in the US.

Oakley Bob Shoes THE COFFEE BREAK - Monday, May 24, 2004------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe/unsubscribe links at the BOTTOM of the page. ************************************************************ Greetings Fellow Java Junkies, A U.S. congressional committee is looking into the feasibility of cable TV subscribers paying only for channels they want, the Washington Post said. A bi-partisan group of members of the House Commerce Committee formally asked the the Federal Communications Commission to study the issue and report back within six months. Most satellite and cable companies require their customers to subscribe to packages of channels, arguing the system allows them to maintain robust lineups at affordable rates. But so-called "a la carte pricing," has been gaining momentum among some lawmakers and consumer groups as costs have risen and concerns have grown over television's decency standards. Cable operators were quick to respond. "As the General Accounting Office has found, 'a la carte' pricing would likely lead to a choice of fewer cable channels at higher prices for consumers," the National Cable & Telecommunications Association said in a statement, referring to a December GAO study. The NCTA is the trade group representing the largest cable companies, such as Comcast and Time Warner Cable. However, the American Cable Association, which represents smaller cable companies, endorses a la carte pricing, the newspaper said. Would you be interested in "a la carte pricing" for your cable or satellite?

"This deliberate disobedience of the revealed will of God in the Holy Scriptures is a flagrant departure from the consensual and clearly communicated mind and will of the Anglican Communion," said the letter, which was dated April 16, but not released until this week, the Washington Times reported Thursday. Should the denomination refuse to comply, the letter from predominantly African and Asian bishops said the Episcopal Church eventually could be suspended, then expelled from the 70-million-member Anglican Communion, the worldwide church body of which the Episcopal Church is part. Specifically, the Episcopal Church was asked to revoke the Nov. 2 consecration of Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, the world's first openly homosexual Episcopal bishop. Asked if the Episcopal Church could be expelled from world Anglincanism, church spokesman Dan England said he didn't know "how that would happen." ************************************************************ The Prayer Box Charm Pendant Is A Heavenly Delight Plus FREE New Testament Bible on CD Rom with every order Write a heartfelt prayer, put it inside and let God do his part.

The Times of London reported the English Blind Golf Association began the inquiry into David Morris after he became the first player successfully to defend the title at the competition in Melbourne, Australia. The inquiry began after a complaint to the association that the 61-year-old Morris may have had an advantage over his rivals in the category for totally blind golfers. The criterion for blindness is that competitors are unable to recognize the shape of a hand at any distance. Association spokesman Barrie Ritchie said Morris was tested before joining the association and had provided medical evidence to support his application. Morris, who is currently traveling to Japan for the Blind Open Tournament starting Friday, has been told of the complaint but was unavailable for comment. ************************************************************ FACT: Your bones act as a calcium store - if you don't get enough in your diet your body will extract what it needs from your bones leaving your bones brittle!

The edict issued by Sheik Saleh al-Fawzan, a member of the kingdom's committee of ulemas, described the Arab satellite channel as "Zionist television," which hosts "so-called reformists who have a podium for airing their poisonous ideas." "There is no need to set up satellite dishes to watch the news on al-Jazeera ... Saudis can have access to all the news and information through Saudi newspapers, radio and television," the edict said. It cautioned Muslims against "introducing evil to their homes and destroying them by watching al-Jazeera, which is a provocative and evil channel hosting people who interpret religion as they please. "Watching al-Jazeera is an evil in itself," it added. The popular satellite TV channel hosts Saudi opposition figures and activists calling for political and social reforms in the Muslim conservative kingdom. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reader Comments ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What are your thoughts if the US banned smoking in all public places? "I do not believe that smoking should be banned in all public places. Although, I do agree that most public place do not do a good job at seperating non-smoking sections from the smoking sections. Most non-smokers must walk through the smoking section in order to get to their seats. It is unfair to them. The smoking sections should be toward the back of restaraunts. I am a smoker, and feel for those who just can't stand the smell, nor do I blame them. But to be honest, many people who smoke will find other places to go if there is no smoking section where they chose to go. I believe it would hurt businesses in the long run. And lets be honest, no smoking in a bar?!?! Who are we trying to kid, if you are a smoker you tend to smoke more while drinking. I say leave it like it is." Tracy "I'm an asthmatic who reacts each time I'm around smoke. I usually have an asthma attack and have to leave the area. However, I think we're taking too many freedoms from people in the name of doing good. I think we need to stop making more "don't" laws. I'm against any more bans of personal habits." Barbara "If the US banned smoking in public places, it would be all my friends and I would need to pack up all out stuff and move to New Zealand! It's enough that all the bars in my area are going to go out of business because of the ban. America has taken a serious turn for the worst and every new idea that comes out makes me want to leave more. What happened to freedom of choice? I'm not blowing my smoke in your face, I'm not even sitting next to a non-smoker and lighting a cigarette, I'm in my car or walking down an already polluted sidewalk. Great, I get to be Pagan and not be harassed, I've been made fun of at the hospital though, but I can't do anything else I enjoy because it either hurts others or my country wont let me make enough money to afford it, because they rob my paycheck every week. I can't wait to get away from America, and the man I will not admit to having for a president." Bekah "Great idea to ban smoking in all public places!" ------------------------------------------------------------ Questions? Comments?
