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?

iakley hiking shoes TODAY'S GOLF - Thursday, November 4, 2004"Tips... News... And More... All For The Love Of The Game" ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE: 1. Ask The Pro 2. It's Good For Your Game - Stay connected for consistency 3. The Golf Doctor - Lighten Up ASK THE PRO Q: My pitch shots are terrible, with an array of missed hits that are too numerous to mention. So I have a general ques- tion about pitching. Are there any common threads between good pitchers of the ball and bad ones? Maybe this knowledge will give me some useful "food for thought" and a starting point from which to improve on my pitches. -- B.J., via the Web A: Most poor pitchers of the ball use a lot of lower-body motion on the backswing and very little on the forward swing, leaving the hands and arms to overmanipulate the club. To be a good pitcher you should do the opposite ‹ use minimal leg action during the backswing while your upper body creates the length and wrist cock necessary for the shot. On the downswing, use a good deal of leg action, with the back knee moving toward the target. In a correctly executed pitch shot the hands and arms feel "dead." On your downswing and your follow-through you should keep your forward hip (left for a right-handed player) rotating with no change of pace or speed. You don't need to add any force with the arms; this ensures that you'll hit down and through the ball with no unwanted burst of power. I call this "hitting the ball with your turn," and it's what separates good pitchers from bad ones. ------------------------------------------------------------ ** Magazine Subscriptions for Less ** Get Up to 80% off the regular News Stand Prices We have struck a deal with a major Publisher of some of today's most popular Magazine titles and now are offering subscriptions for up to 80% off the News Stand prices.

The swing radius at address extends from the tip of your front shoulder to the bottom line on your club head, and the goal is to return to the ball with the same radius that you started with. A swing with an inconsistent radius often looks "armsy" because the arms change length. They either become longer on the backswing, then have to shorten on the downswing to have any chance of making solid contact with the ball, or the reverse ‹ the arms shorten then must elongate. The key to keeping a constant radius is maintain- ing arm-to-chest connection with your target arm. ------------------------------------------------------------ Inspired by Spirituality -- THE RHINESTONE CROSS PENDANT Normal Price: $19.99 LIQUIDATION PRICE: 99 Cents The gorgeous Rhinestone Cross Pendant is a perfect symbol of enduring faith.

Most golfers grip the club much too tightly with the last three fingers of their top hand, reducing the mobility of the wrists. Excess pressure cuts down on the sensory input to the brain, so you can't feel the correct wrist cock on the backswing necessary for a powerful swing, or make the natural adjustments to maintain the proper wrist angles on the downswing. Under these conditions, even properly trained hands are rendered almost useless. On a scale of one to 10, where one is much too light and 10 is a death grip, your hold on the club should be a five, with the major pressure exerted by the big joint of your lower thumb on the big joint of your top thumb. Picture a quarterback taking a snap for an image to guide the correct positioning of your thumbs. Your overall hold pressure should be light enough to allow your wrists to cock 90 degrees at the top of the backswing, but firm enough so you don't have to rearrange your hands on the downswing. I like the term "hold" rather than "grip" to promote a more moderate approach to hand pressure. A grip should not be too light or too strong. ------------------------------------------------------------ Questions? Comments?
