He doesn't have to produce anything to prove his story. PRO REPORT How To Choose A Set Of Clubs Have you walked into a golf store recently? If so, you may have looked around and thought to yourself: How in the world am I going to pick a set of clubs? As intimidating as sorting through the hundreds of options can be, knowing what to look for before you shop can quickly narrow your search. Here are a few questions you should be able to answer: 1- What are your intentions? Do you plan to play once a month, once a week, or until your significant other leaves you with your sun-scorched skin, cracked lips and worn-out grips? 2- What type of club design are you looking for? Irons range from very forgiving (large, cavity-back design) to not-so-forgiving (smaller, blade design). If you're just starting, the cavity-back design will be your best friend. More advanced players should consult pros or peers. 3- What type of shaft should you use? Shafts are basically designed with swing speed in mind. Your 98-year-old grandmother would use a much more flexible shaft than Tiger Woods uses. The slower your clubhead speed, the more flex you will want. The added flex gives you more clubhead speed, and thus distance. Swing speeds are fairly easy to gauge. Ask your pro or consult a qualified golf retailer. 4- What about graphite shafts? The beauty of graphite is that it is much lighter than steel. A lighter club is easier to swing, and graphite allows the same swing to produce more clubhead speed. Most women's and many juniors' clubs come standard with graphite shafts for this very reason. 5- What is custom fitting? Custom fitting can be done by most qualified professionals. During a session, the pro will fit the player for length of club, flex of shaft, lie angle, and grip size. The pro will also be able to recommend the general design of the clubhead to suit the player's swing. 6- How much should you spend? The less, the better -- obviously. But if you plan to devote some time to the game, you will begin to recognize some of the differences between clubs. Brand-name clubs are more expensive because of advertising, but also because of the testing they do and the warranties they offer. At the very least, ensure that your clubs have a good warranty that backs up the company's claims. ------------------------------------------------------------ Questions? Comments?

All For The Love Of The Game" ------------------------------------------------------------ To SUBSCRIBE visit: http://www.gophercentral.com/sub/sub-golf.html Subscribe ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE: 1. 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. A helping hand goes a long way and we are proud to have put together a premiere list of sources that can help you achieve your health and diet needs.

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?
