MEN'S OAKLEY GOLF 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.

TEEING OFF - Angle for power 2. PRO REPORT - Sifford breaks another color barrier with Hall election 3. QUOTE OF THE WEEK TEEING OFF Angle for power There are three "separations" in the golf swing that conserve the power loaded at the top of the backswing until impact: 1. Your front knee separates from your back knee; 2. your hands separate from your back shoulder; and 3. your front shoulder separates from your chin. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ahhh... My Hard Drive Just Crashed... These are words none of us ever want to scream. But it happened to me. Unfortunately I learned the hard way and did not have a back up of my data. WHY? Well I always thought it was hard to do and that you needed to buy add- itional hardware. And then the worst part was restoring from your backup. Well I found the perfect product and the BEST part is you can get it for just the cost of s&h... $5.99. It retails for $39.99, but we know how important your data is to you and wanted to give everyone the chance to own this CDRom called RestoreIT. "RestoreIT... You simply CAN NOT afford to be without it." - TechGeek Monthly Get it for just $5.99 s&h, by visiting: RestoreIT Deluxe Edition ------------------------------------------------------------ PRO REPORT Sifford breaks another color barrier with Hall election West Palm Beach, Fla. When Calvin Peete joined the PGA Tour in 1975, he didn't have to worry about listening to racial slurs because he was black. Or having fans step on his golf ball, kick it out of bounds or have excrement left in the hole. Peete knows why: Because Charlie Sifford dealt with all that. That's why Peete was so thrilled to hear last week that Sifford had broken another barrier by becoming the first black chosen for the World Golf Hall of Fame. "It's fitting because Charlie has been out there a long time, and he's a pioneer as far as blacks are concerned in professional golf," Peete said by phone recently from his Jacksonville, Fla., home. "Charlie and I talked a lot about the things he had to deal with when he first came out. He was bigger than that. Because of him, I never had to. Players respected me for my character and my caliber of play. I wasn't just another black player." Sifford, who won three PGA Tour events, will be 82 when he is inducted Nov. 15 at the World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Fla., along with 1992 U.S. Open champion Tom Kite, Japanese star Isao Aoki and Canadian amateur Marlene Stewart Streit, a part-time Wellington resident. Sifford, who was elected through the Lifetime Achievement category, said he was stunned when PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem called with the news. "This is very wonderful," Sifford said from Savannah, Ga. "I thank all these wonderful players for accept- ing me. I know I had some bad days and tough days. But it looks like everything worked out fine. "I've been waiting for this honor for a long time. I ain't nobody but myself, but really it is a pleasure to be in the presence of all these great players." ------------------------------------------------------------ THE REVOLUTIONARY PLASMA PEN Eye-catching is the only word for it.
