Week on the tours:
Tommy
Armour III broke the 72 hole record on the PGA tour, and broke a
streak of thirteen years without a win by blowing away the field
by seven shots at the Valero Texas Open. There were more 62's and
63's this week than you can imagine, but Armour came out on top
by seven shots with a Sunday 65.
There
was more excitement in Europe where Lee Westwood edged Ernie Els
by one shot at the Dunhill Links Championship at St. Andrews.
Meanwhile
Annika Sorenstam was in the winner's circle once again in Oregon.
She edged Beth Daniel by one shot shooting a six under 66 on Sunday.
On
the Champion's tour the walrus, Craig Stadler was victorious, adding
to a very strong rookie year.

Tip
of the week:
Staying
focussed and present on the golf course:
You
have heard time and time again how important it is to stay in the
present when playing golf. Here are some suggestions to help you
do this.
Like
in the rest of life, the present moment is the only place you can
take any kind of action, so it is important to ensure that your
mind is focussed there. On the golf course the two main things that
get in the way of staying focussed in the present are thinking about
past shots, and thinking about your score. You want to be totally
involved in the shot at hand.
The
first tip that can help is to focus only on your breathing. I would
suggest silently counting your breaths as you are setting up to
and taking your shot. This comes from Zen and is a very effective
way of being present and keeping your mind from being distracted.
Focus on nothing else but your breath and allow your senses and
body to take over as you prepare for and execute your shot. This
is especially effective when putting.
A strategy
to use in between shots in addition to counting your breaths is
to focus on your footsteps while walking to your next shot. Even
if you are riding in a cart you can do this by stopping your cart
at least a few steps from your ball. Just pay attention to the feel
of the ground beneath your feet and imagine that your are very solidly
connected to the ground.
Of
course you need to do some mental work prior to your shot like choosing
your club and visualizing the shot you want to play, but make sure
that this is all you are doing with your mind. Be totally focussed
on what you are doing with the shot in front of you. If you find
your mind wandering to your score, a previous shot, or any other
mental distraction, go back to focussing on your breath and footsteps
before setting up to your shot.
You
will be amazed how good you can play when you get your mind out
of the way and treat each shot as a new game.
Testimonial:
"I
have used at least seven different gadgets to improve my golf swing.
I have managed to reduce my handicap by 4 over the 6 years I have
used these things. They usually end up in the closet. The LowerScores
Manual is different. It helped me understand what it takes to score
on the golf course. In one season I lowered my handicap by four
more."

Are
you using the right equipment to get the best out of your game?
The
golf swing is much like driving a car. At first we have to be consciously
aware of all the little things we must do in order to perform the
act. Then after repeating the act several times it is transferred
to our subconscious mind and the body just carries out the programmed
activity while we focus on other things.
The
golf swing gets registered in the same way, and the reason it is
so hard to change is because we are not reprogramming it on a subconscious
level. No matter how hard we try to consciously change what we do,
the automated response will return. The best resource I have seen
on this subject is the ebook below. It describes this process and
shows you how to reprogram your swing on the proper level. Check
it out along with the Lowerscores Manual
which will show you how to score on the course, and watch your game
improve.
