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.

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?

All For The Love Of The Game" ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE: 1. Teeing Off - Get A Good Grip 2. Pro Report - LEHMAN NAMED AS RYDER CUP CAPTAIN FOR '06 3. Quote Of The Week TEEING OFF Get A Good Grip A good golf swing begins with holding the club properly in your hands. You want to create a grip that is balanced between both hands with neither hand in a dominant position. In a good natural grip, the back of your left hand, as well as the palm of your right hand, will face your target. The club will sit diagonally across the fingers of your left hand with the heel pad at the base of your hand sitting on top of the club, with the last three fingers applying pressure from the bottom of the club. The left thumb sits slightly right of center on the club with no gap between the thumb and the base of the forefinger. The right hand is placed on the club with the left thumb fitting nicely in the lifeline of your right hand. The fingers of the right hand wrap around the bottom of the grip. The right thumb sits slightly left of center on the club with no gap between the thumb and the base of the trigger finger. This will produce a grip where the hands are opposing each other in a neutral position. This natural grip will allow you to return the clubface square- ly to the ball at impact without having to make any adjustments to your swing to compensate for a faulty grip. ------------------------------------------------------------ The FDA announced that Vioxx(R) hurt people Merck knows that Vioxx(R) contributed to many health problems including heart attacks and strokes.

Coming off its most lopsided defeat in the event's 77-year history, the PGA had pondered a new approach by considering Larry Nelson, 57, who's no longer active on the PGA Tour. But the association instead decided to stay with the recen formula of selecting a major champion in his 40s with Ryder Cup experience. Lehman, 45, played in three Ryder Cups and never lost a singles match. Lehman has the difficult task of re-energizing an American squad that suffered a humiliating 18 1/2-9 1/2 loss to Europe six weeks ago at Oakland Hills. That was the Americans' fourth loss in the past five Ryder Cup matches and seventh of the past 10 in a competition the United States once dominated. Two weeks ago, Lehman made it clear at the Funai Classic at Disney World how interested he was in the position. He said he would be willing to give up a chance to try to qualify for his fourth team. He is 5-3-2 at the Ryder Cup and did not play in the past two matches. "I would like to play another time with- out question, but I would love to be the captain of the next one," Lehman said. "I think being a captain in Ireland would be a phenomenal experience. I could go either way, but I'd love to be captain. If the chance came I'd jump on it." That chance came after another front-runner, Paul Azinger, said last week he'd prefer to be the captain for the 2008 matches at Valhalla. Azinger is taking a network analyst's job with ABC and also is retooling his swing; he recently told PGA officials to take him out of consideration for two more years. This marks the second time Nelson has been bypassed for the job. Many believed the two-time PGA champion, who has a 9-3-1 record in the Ryder Cup, would be named captain of the 1997 team. But Tom Kite was chosen, and the U.S. barely lost, 14 1/2-13 1/2. Picking Lehman, who won the 1996 British Open, is a bit of a risky move for the PGA only because so many people have come out in favor of Nelson. Former U.S. captains such as Dave Stockton and Lanny Wadkins were pushing PGA officials to depart from their usual formula to tab Nelson. Azinger and Lehman also endorsed Nelson, as have other current players. "I think Larry Nelson deserves to be captain at some point, and I think he would be a great captain," Lehman said at Disney. "If they ever were to decide to break tradition and go with a guy over 50, I think I'd start with him." Lehman, who was named Player of the Year in 1996, has five PGA Tour titles, but he hasn't won in almost five years. He was 53rd on the money list -- his third consecutive finish outside the top 50 -- although he finished strongly this season. He was tied for the 54-hole lead in his last three events, and he closed the year with finishes of fourth, 17th, second, fourth and sixth in his final five starts. Lehman is one of the PGA Tour's most respect- ed players, and the PGA of America is hoping his people skills can help lead an American team in need of serious regrouping after the Oakland Hills debacle. His passion for the Ryder Cup is unmistakable. Lehman's appointment no doubt will draw plenty of response from the British media, who took him to task because he was one of the Americans who ran onto the 17th green to cele- brate Justin Leonard's winning putt in 1999 at Brookline. Lehman was greatly criticized by then-European vice captain Sam Torrance. ------------------------------------------------------------ The Funniest Stand-up Film of ALL TIME Critics call RICHARD PRYOR LIVE one of the best stand-up films of all time.
