Vol.1 #16 You may have seen that the next 100 subscribers to the LowerScoreGolf Weekly will be entered into a draw for a free driver. Don't worry, those of you who subscribed earlier will also have a separate draw for the same driver. So please forward a copy of this ezine to any friends you think might be interested. The sooner we all get to 100, the sooner the draws will take place. As of this week we have 75 to go. If you are receiving this from a friend you can subscribe by using the link at the top of the page.
Last Week on the tours: Kenny Perry became the second player this year to win two consecutive events by taking "Jack's" tournament by two shots. At a Memorial tournament which was characterised by a windy Saturday where Tiger Woods shot a 76 (including 42 on the front nine), Perry was steady all week to capture his second straight victory. Tiger managed to be in contention in spite of the bad Saturday, this after 7 weeks off. Mike Weir got close to recapturing the tour money lead by finishing third, thanks to a 7 under par 65 on Sunday. Once again we saw a veteran leaderboard full of multiple winners as Vijay Singh and Tiger finished tied for fourth, and Lee Janzen was second. Where are the young guns this year? Playing
last week on the men's tour obviously did not affect Annika Sorenstam
as she breezed to a three shot victory with fantastic play on the
LPGA tour stop this week.

Quote/Joke of the week:
Tip of the week:
Go to a tour event and just about player you watch on the range will be doing pretty much the same routine. Start with a sand wedge and pick a target about 60-80 yards away and start by hitting leisurely shots to that target. Work on making easy contact and having a nice relaxed tempo. Hit as many of these as it takes to get into a nice groove. Then start working your way up. You do not have to use every club as you work your way up, but don't go straight to the driver. Take your time between shots, and stay focussed on good tempo, not results. Ensure that your last shots are with the club you will be hitting off the first tee. Then go finish off with some chipping and putting to get a feel for distance on your chips, and the speed of the putts. Do not get caught up in making putts and chips at this point, just concentrate on feel.
Equipment:
Don't necessarily get caught up in thinking you must have name brand clubs. Good quality clones are often made in the same factories with the same materials, can be customized, and are considerably less expensive. At Pine Meadow Golf you can get drivers that only have different printing on them, for $49-$99, steel and titanium. You probably are using a clone computer, which is the same kind of thing. For a good overview of the differences and the best deals on factory-direct golf clubs go to Pine Meadow Golf. Testimonial: "I was very sceptical about the possibility of a short manual making a difference in my golf game. I thought you needed to physically work with a teacher to improve. My friend suggested I get the manual and I tried only two of the strategies in it. What I learned was that scoring is not only physical, and by making two small strategic changes I was able to lower my scores immediately by four strokes. The first round I played was four shots better than my average, and every round since then has been at least four shots better. I am going to start using some of the other eight strategies right away." Chris, Arizona Training Aids:
Have Arthritis or Joint Pain? Don't settle for the dangerous side effects of COX-2 inhibitors and NSAIDs. They only treat the pain and do nothing to fight the Arthritis itself. If you or your pet has arthritis, I highly recommend Syn-Flex. The fast-acting high quality liquid formula of Syn-Flex eases your pain, rebuilds your damaged cartilage, protects your joints, and increases mobility. Click here to learn more and get relief from pain. I was unable to work out or play golf without debilitating pain in my shoulders, back, and hips, until Syn-Flex came along. I think it is the best glucosamine/condroitin product on the market.
