Is that my friend in the
trap or is that jerk on the green?

FORE!
A deaf mute steps up to
tee off on the first hole of a golf course, when a large burly guy
yells "Hey You!, Nobody tees off ahead of Big Ralph". Being deaf,
the poor guy continues to prepare for his shot, so Ralph runs up
thinking the deaf mute is being obstinate, and knocks the poor guy
to the ground, kicks his ball away, and prepares for his own shot.
After Ralph has hit the ball and proceeded down the fairway after
it, the mute gets up brushes himself off, waits a moment, and again
prepares his shot.
The deaf mute then hits a
beautiful shot straight up the middle of the fairway, striking big
Ralph in the back of the head, and knocking him unconscious. The
mute then walks down the fairway, rolls big Ralph and holds up four
fingers in front of Ralph's face.

"You create your
own luck by the way you play. There's no such luck as bad
luck. Fate has nothing to do with success or failure,
because that is a negative philosophy that indicts one's
confidence, and I'll have no part of it."
-Greg Norman, after his
loss at the'96 Masters
QUICK TIP:
Keep your
chin up for a full turn
Having trouble with your shoulder turn? Most turning
problems stem from an incorrect and poor posture. Work on
pulling your shoulder blades back, straightening your spine
from tail bone to neck, and most of all lifting your chin
off of your chest. Forget "keep your head down" and try to
"keep your chin up." A better posture will improve your
torso rotation and take care of that shoulder turn

New
Rules Effective
January 1, 2008
The United States Golf Association (USGA) has
issued an updated 'Rules of Golf' book that will be
effective worldwide as of January 1, 2008. It represents the
culmination of four years of work by the USGA and R&A Rules
Limited following consultation with other golfing bodies
throughout the world.
The changes to the Rules generally fall into two broad
categories: (1) those that improve the clarity of the Rules
and (2) those that reduce the penalties in certain
circumstances toensure that they are proportionate.
