Two both famous and infamous golfers known for their tempers and club throwing exploits on the golf course, were battling head to head and coming into the final round of the tournament. The entire golfing world was looking on. As the two greats made one bad shot after another, they all too often followed them up by throwing their clubs. Some of these clubs ended up in the lake or against a tree. As they were preparing for the final round, one of them was asked whom he thought was going to “lose”. “That’s easy,” he said, “the guy that runs out of clubs first.”
Everyone that plays this game has been tempted to make their own entry into the club toss championship, and all too many of us have given in to that temptation. But I can’t believe how many clubs I have broken by pure accident (yeah right)!
The first really expensive golf club I ever bought was a custom made driver by one of the great master club makers in Carmel, California, home of Pebble Beach. I spent a couple of days of my vacation being fitted and for three weeks waited anxiously for my new club to arrive in the mail. Man was it great! I was just pounding the ball to deepest depths of the driving range and just couldn’t wait for Saturday to get here so I could unleash this beauty in real action.
Finally, the day had arrived. I was loading my gear and changing my shoes, and one of my buddies came by and asked about the new club I was bragging about. I pulled it from my bag and handed it to him to check out. I walked around my car to make the final check to see that all the doors were locked. I shouldered my bag and slammed the trunk of my car. At the time it sounded a little weird, but I was anxious to get started so I didn’t bother to look.
When our names were called to the first tee, I was ready! I reached for my hot new driver; just knowing it was going to be a great day… it wasn’t there. My knees quivered, I had to choke back a blood-curdling scream and nearly fell to the ground in a fit of rage as I remembered that funny sound I heard when I slammed my trunk just a few minutes ago.
Then there was the time I had a shot that had to get up fast and carry a bit farther then I usually hit my 60-degree. I was under a tree but had no overhanging limbs. I could have a Tiger-like go at it. Big mistake. I wound up like I was John Daly, figuring I needed that extra long swing that only Big John can deliver, and swung with all my might. Tree root! Damn! I jarred every bone in my body. It was three holes later when I finally got my eyes back in the right sockets and discovered I had bent my steel shafted wedge. Not to worry, just a little pressure over the knee here and we can… Snap! Okay, so now I have a really short-shafted wedge for really tight back swings.
But I just may hold the dubious honor of the all time greatest moment in club breaking history. I was playing head to head with my regular foursome, and we had come to the last hole and the big money was on the line. A great drive had put me in unfamiliar territory, about 20 yards closer to the 18th green than I had ever been. An even better 6-iron put me about five feet from the hole on this difficult 4 par, which I had only rarely parred and never birdied in my life. Man this was great! I was about to birdie a hole that for years had been giving me fits, and I was going to win all the money with one shot. It just doesn’t get any better then this.
The other three had all finished up, and it was down to my very makeable, very easy, only slightly up-hill, straight in putt… nearly a kick-in. I milked it for all it was worth. I plumbed it, stalked it, walked around it again, repaired imaginary ball marks and rubbed it in as best as I could. Finally I approached the ball… dead in straight… not a problem. Perfect backswing… beautiful putting stroke… nice follow through. It was great… moving right on line! The money was mine! Fist pump in motion… No! Wait! What the h…!!!??? All of a sudden my ball is flying like a nine-iron shot and shoots twenty feet past the hole!! And there next to hole was the head of my putter, right where it had landed after falling off the shaft and hitting the back of my ball. Two putts later I’m finally in the cup, in the dumps and out of the money. To this day my playing partners are insisting that I should have also been assessed a two stroke penalty for striking the ball twice. I’ll let you look that rule up.

It is well known that in every professional sport athletes perform a series of flexibility exercises and drills to prepare them to play a game. The game of golf is no different. Unseen to the general public, many PGA Tour players perform a series of golf flexibility exercises to prepare them to play golf. It is done prior to hitting the driving range or putting green. It is a process of getting the muscles and joints of body ready to swing a golf club. Most every golfer on the planet understands the benefit of a warm-up program to get the body ready to play golf or any sport for that matter. Unfortunately for us the time required to perform a comprehensive golf warm-up program with golf flexibility exercises is not reasonable. Not reasonable because of time restrictions on our busy lives.
For example, we set our tee time for Friday at 1:30. Our plan when we leave the house in the morning is “I will get to course at 1:00, hit a few putts, chip for 10 minutes, head to the range, and be at the first tee with a few minutes to spare”. Unfortunately, our plans sometimes do not play out as we intended.
We get stuck with a client on the phone, a conference call runs long, we get stuck in traffic. Whatever the case may be we are caught rushing to the golf course, getting to the course with 10 minutes to spare, jump out of the car, tying our golf shoes, get to the first tee with 5 minutes to spare, haven’t hit a shot or putted….Do I need to go on?
Probably not.
It is a situation that happens to us all, and I as am guilty of it as you. However as strong as I suggest performing a good warm-up, and putting yourself in the correct frame of mind for the round, life at times just does not allow us to do it.
What are we to do in such situations?
I first off would suggest not utilizing the John Daly “grip and rip it” motto if you get to the first tee without warming-up. I have seen this (myself included) lead to a myriad of problems from the get go.
I can remember a few years ago I took this approach and I think made a triple bogey on the first hole. My drive went left into the rough, second shot to the right, approach shot over the green into the bunker, bunker shot rolled 20 feet past the hole. Need I go on?
Let’s just say I learned my lesson. First and foremost if you are caught in this type of situation lets not panic. Let’s put a plan together to start the round out on the right foot and keep you in a positive frame of mind.
My first suggestion is not to rush and attempt to hit 3 putts, pull out driver take a few hacks, and then tee it up.
Lets take the 5 minutes we have and get the body warmed-up and ready to swing a golf club. How can we do this? Simply by putting together a series of golf stretches to “loosen” you up. Golf flexibility exercises will loosen the muscles and joints of your body. Preparing them to swing a golf club. They are simple to perform and can get your body and mind more ready to play than just a few practice swings with the driver. This will take a couple of minutes to perform, but it will help you get the body ready to swing the golf club.
Once we have got the body “loosened up” lets get the mind in the correct space. I have seen all too often the tempo of a swing is way out of whack when a golfer lacks the time to properly warm-up. Attempt to relax, take a few deep breaths, and get the body to slow down a little. This should definitely help create some better tempo in your swing from the start.
Also, take your time. Once it is your turn to hit, take a little extra time. Take a few extra practice swings, relax, find your tempo, and match your first swing to the tempo of your practice swing. This is a tip I learned from Dean Reinmuth (top 50 Golf Digest teaching pros).
If you are not comfortable over the ball, step away, take a series of practice swings until you find the “right” swing and then perform that same swing over the golf ball. It has done wonders for my game.
I would also suggest continuing to take extra time on every shot until you feel comfortable and have found your swing. This might not occur until the second or third hole, but it is okay. It allows you to relax, make a good swing, and make a good shot.
Finally, when you are rushed I think course management can really help. Think about it for a moment. Why not on the first tee pull out 3-wood instead of driver, even if it is a par five. Hit a nice shot into the fairway, lay-up, and play for par? Again, starting off with par or even bogey is a lot better than a double or triple, both for your scorecard and mental frame of mind.
So if you are rushing to the first tee to get your golf game going let’s review the protocol. First and foremost lets be smart and utilize the time we have at hand. Lets take the 5 minutes we have to warm-up the body for the golf swing. We will do this through the implementation of a series of golf flexibility exercises. These golf exercises will get your muscles and joints ready to swing a golf club. Once the body is ready the next step is taking your time. Take a few extra practice swings with the golf club. This will allow you to find the tempo of your golf swing. Finally lets be smart with our course management skills. Think about what is the best golf shot to make and play within ourselves until our body and mind is ready to go.

To become stronger and faster, athletes use a technique called interval training, in which they exercise very intensely, rest and then alternate intense bursts of exercise and rest until their muscles start to feel heavy. Intervals are a fixed number of repeats of a fixed distance at a fixed pace with a fixed recovery time. There are two types of intervals: long and short. A short interval takes less than 30 seconds and does not build up significant amounts of lactic acid in the bloodstream, so an athlete can do lots of repeat short intervals in a single workout.
Long intervals take two minutes or more and are very tiring. In interval training, a runner may run a quarter mile 12 times, averaging 1 minute, with a 110-yard slow jog between each. A weightlifter may lift a heavy weight ten times in a row and then repeat another set of ten. Runners run intervals as fast as they can and recover enough to run the same fast pace several times. Runners need very short recoveries between intervals, usually only about 30 seconds; but weight lifters need much longer recoveries, at least two and a half minutes. Runners become short of breath and feel a burning in their muscles when lactic acid starts to accumulate in muscles, but it takes only a few seconds for a trained athlete to recover between each hard run. On the other hand, weight lifters feel burning caused by tearing of the muscle fibers and it takes a much longer time for the pain to disappear so they can lift very heavy weights again.
You can apply the concept of interval training to your program at any level of fitness. When you start a new exercise program, exercise for 30 seconds, stop for 30-60 seconds, longer if you need it. Alternate exercising and resting until you feel tired or your muscles feel heavy. Then stop for the day. The stronger you get in your sport, the more intense your intervals can become. You work at your maximum capacity for 30-60 seconds, then take 60-90 seconds to recover, then go very hard for another 30-60 seconds. Do this vigorous interval workout once a week until you get tired. At first you may only be able to do two or three intervals, but your muscles get stronger and you build up the number of intervals you can complete. Go easy the next day or take a day off if you feel any discomfort.

While most golfers are aware of the fact that the muscles in the lower part of the body are used in the golf swing, many are not aware of just how important these muscles are to the consistent execution of the perfect golf swing.
Many do not even realize how imperative it is that muscles used in the golf swing are exercised and kept in tip top condition. Actually, if this is not done, it becomes extremely difficult to for anybody to enjoy the game as too many factors stand in the way of a golfer who does not exercise.
For example a common complaint amongst many golfers on the course is that of pain in the lower back which is usually aggravated by golf. This pain is especially evident after longer sessions on the course.
How can any golfer improve golf swing, let alone have any hope of enjoying the game with such a nagging, persistent pain? Yet this problem is easily solved by simply strengthening lower back muscles used by doing certain exercises.
The result is that there is a higher level of endurance which will also have a tremendous impact on the golf swing of any golfer. There is actually a very simple exercise to achieve this which can be done from the comfort of your home and without having to go into a gym or special exercise area.
Muscles used in the golf swing include some in the lower leg as well as those higher up like the hamstring which is crucial in accomplishing the perfect golf swing.
It is a proven fact that muscles used in the golf swing that are not exercised and conditioned on a regular basis with the correct exercise, will usually not respond to the correct golfing techniques.
Without being conditioned to obtain the necessary stamina and staying power it is unlikely that muscles used in the golf swing will be able to deliver the required performance.

A Game In Progress The game is getting down to the nitty gritty
and the opposing team is ready to pull ahead if we don’t get our
stuff together. Oh well I know I had him, blind ump. The next
batter is their number four batter and he is ready to clean up.
Meanwhile they have runners on first and third and I now have to
guard the line. We can still get out of the inning. The crowd is
noisy and the batter is hungry. The first pitch is a called
strike so we all feel confident that we can get this guy out.
The next pitch is hit at the second basemen who tosses it to the
shortstop, who covers second and then he throws it to first to
get the DP.
All right we are out of the inning and now we have last at
bat. I know the only way I will get up again is if the first two
guys get on base and there are no double plays. I know we are
going to do it. I can feel it. In fact we are all psyched up to
beat this team, especially since our coach was tossed from the
game. It is our game to win. I am batting in the second position
but before me are our catcher, then our pitcher and # one
batter. We have to win. This is our chance to advance and go on
to play for the trophy. I know that Tom who is the assistant
coach will bat someone for Jerry but Mike has got to do
something, at least get on first. Mike steps up to plate; he is
a good consistent hitter and can usually get on base when it is
needed. All right Mikey you can do it. The ball comes over the
plate and the umpire calls ball one. Mike steps out of the
batter box and checks with the third base coach for signals. He
has gotten the swing away one. Mike steps back in the box and
connects with the next pitch. Everyone is on his or her feet as
the ball is heading toward the center field fence. The fielder
is tracking it, catching up to it as it nears the fence and with
one final surge he lifts his glove over his head and Bingo, the
ball falls in it as it was just about to leave the stadium and
find a place in some strangers hands. That’s one out.
Jerry Forth is taken out of the game after pitching a great
game, but it is now up to the team to win the game in this
inning. No one wants to go back onto the field, that’s for sure.
Our pinch batter is Orlando Sepeda who has been hitting the ball
well as of late even with his hip injury. Orlando steps up to
the plate and he is confident, as he takes a few practice
swings. Their pitcher is eyeing him as he stands there in the
batters box getting ready to hit the ball. The pitch is a slider
and Orlando lets it go as it misses the inside of the plate.
“Ball one.” The ump calls. Phew that was close. The next pitch
is a curve ball and it goes across the sweet spot of the plate
and Orlando hits a single to right field.
All right that’s the way. Bud Gottenhour is the next batter and
if he gets on it will be up to me as long as he doesn’t hit into
a double play. Three pitches come across the plate and he swings
at each one. He is out. It is that time once again when it is me
against my thoughts as they race through my mind about the
situation I am in.
I walk to the batters box and with confidence; start my warm
up swings just waiting for the ball to come across. I like to
crouch down low with my hands choked up on the bat about an
inch. I feel the wood and make sure my grip is right. The
catcher is doing what a catcher does best, trying to psyche the
batter out of his focus. But I am not paying attention all I
concentrate on is the pitcher and his motions on the mound. I am
trying to get a read on him and watch the coach at the same time
on third base. I get the signal to hit away and the pitcher
hurls the ball. I watch as it starts to come out of his hand
trying to gage what kind of pitch and how to react to it. I step
forward and bring the bat off my shoulder and just miss the ball
as it goes into the catcher’s glove. Strike One. It was a good
pitch I just missed the timing, but I know if he throws another
one like that I will drill it into the outfield and drive in the
winning run. The crowd is noisy and the runner is anxious to
come home to end this game. I am ready as the next pitch comes
across and it’s a fast, ball that I connect with and the crack
of the bat is loud and the handle is the only part of it left in
my hand as the large part of the bat is heading towards the
pitchers mound. The ball is traveling towards the right fielder,
into the gap. The center fielder is on the run tracking the
ball. He dives towards the ball and the crowd is going wild. In
an instance my jubilation has come to an abrupt halt and my
heart sinks, as I know the fielder has made one heck of a catch
and I am out. Three outs and that’s it for this inning. Time
seems to stop for a moment as all around me goes silent and time
must catch up to the reality of the situation. I hear the crowd
again and realize that the fielder has dropped the ball and our
runner is heading towards home. All right I did it and I am safe
at second as the throw is wide to the catcher. We win the game.

The Big Eight has an interesting group of geographically diverse
football programs. The Louisville Cardinals are the favorites
with defending champion Pittsburg not far behind. The champion
receives an automatic BCS berth.
2005 Predicted Order of Finish
1. LOUISVILLE After a near-miss in 2004, the Cardinals come on
the scene like gangbusters. Sophomore Brian Brohm will step in
the shoes of last year’s senior quarterback, Stefan LeFors and
there will be little drop-off in production. There will be
Travis Leffew anchoring the offensive line and he will also have
multiple offensive weapons. There will be wide receivers
Montrell Jones and Josua Tinch for him hit on the deep routes.
With the defense dominating like they did in 2004, the Cards
should be bound for a BCS bowl.
2. PITTSBURGH There will be plenty of talent on both sides of
the ball. Junior quarterback Tyler Palko, who passed for 3,067
yards and 24 touchdowns in 2004, will have plenty of talent
around him. There will be wide receivers Greg Lee and Joe
DelSardo. With linebacker H.B. Blades and defensive back Bernard
“Josh” Lay, the panthers have a chance to challenge Louisville
and win the crown again.
3. SYRACUSE Syracuse has nine starters back on defense and there
in lies their strength. The defense is vital in containing some
potent offensives. Their offensive has Damien Rhodes to carry
the load. He is the tailback and has bulked up to carry the
load. Syracuse should earn a bowl bid but not of the caliber of
the Cardinals and Panthers.
4. WEST VIRGINIA Inexperience, especially at quarterback, is the
main trait of the Mountaineers. Three players will battle to
replace Rasheed Marshall at quarterback. They are Adam Bedarik,
Dwayne Thompson, and Pat Smith. The defense will need to replace
Adam “Pac-Man” Jones in the secondary with Jahmile Addae or Mike
Lorello as the likely candidates. They will not be able to
compete for the league title, but could win over Rutgers or
Syracuse.
5. RUTGERS The Scarlet Knights are thinking bowl bid. A bowl bid
will hinge on quarterback Ryan Hart, who tossed more
interceptions (19) last year than touchdowns (17). If the team
is to make a serious bid for the postseason, he will have to
improve his error ways dramatically. If no improvement by Hart,
then freshman Jabu Lovelace will get a look. The running game is
handled by Brian Leonard. With their favorable schedule, Rutgers
could have a winning season and possible bowl bid.
6. CONNECTICUT Matt Bonislawski is the favorite to fill the hugh
void created by the graduation of quarterback Dan Orlovsky.
Don’t be surprised if freshman D.J. Hernandez takes his turn at
quarterback. Which ever is the quarterback, he will have the
talented running back Cornell Brockington. With a “yards per
game average” of 101.5, Brockington is among the league’s best
runners. Linebacker James Hargrave leads a strong defense. The
quarterback holds the key to this team being an upper-division
team.
7. CINCINNATI The Bearcats have numerous holes to fill after
graduating 26 seniors and 17 starters last year. The biggest
hole is at quarterback where freshman Dustin Grutza has the lead
over Nick Davilla for the job. The defense has no returning
starting linebackers but have defensive lineman Adam Roberts,
who does not know when to stop. The Bearcats will win enough
games to keep out of the cellar.
8. SOUTH FLORIDA As the Bulls enter the season with more
questions than answers, the will find it difficult to keep out
of the cellar. They do have one of the top running quarterbacks
in Andre Hall. He was last years offensive Most Valuable Player
and set a new USF single- season record with 1,357 yards.
Incumbent quarterback Pat Julmiste will find it hard to hold his
position while competing against Courtney Denson, an Auburn
transfer.
One of the most important aspects in the game of golf is the grip. Although many people spend a great deal of time improving their swing the reality is if their golf grip is not good then the club face will probably not strike the ball correctly and the chances of producing a good and consistent golf swing is greatly reduced. However, if your grip is good then it gives you a solid base to build your swing on and all of the good work that you do is more likely to be effective resulting in a better round of golf.
If your grip is good and not to relaxed or too tight you will be less likely to slice or pull shots and it will improve your directional ability with the ball. The main reason for this is that the club will be more likely to hit the ball with the face square. Although it may seem like a small thing following a few good golf grip tips can have a huge effect on the efficiency of your overall golf game.
Whatever grip you use it is important to feel comfortable. Just because you have learned how to use a particular grip, it does not mean that you have to use that grip forever. If you find out that there is another that feels more comfortable to you (although it may take you a little while to get used to) it will probably improve your game. One of the most useful golf grip tips is not to hold the club to tightly as this can dramatically alter the angle and direction of your shot.
One of the better golf grip tips is to first practice without a club. Instead, allow your arms to hang naturally and see what position you are comfortable in. This should give you a good indication of which is the best grip for you to use for your golf swings. Also practice the back swing and the follow through to see how comfortable you hands feel in every position. When you hold the club, there needs to be a line from your first finger to your little finger so that you can see the club is straight and you’ll be able to address the golf ball correctly.
Once your grip is right it allows you the luxury of knowing that at least that part of your golf game is correct and you can then focus more on your swing and any improvements that you make will be transferred correctly to the ball. Following a few simple golf grips tips can improve your game a great deal and make a real difference when you are out on the golf course.

You can only build muscle tissue if you can generate progressively stronger muscular contractions, so this calls for an emphasis on finding ways to increase exercise intensity. This should not be confused with exercise duration as maximum training intensity will actually shorten the time needed to achieve maximal muscular growth.
In an earlier article I outlined the ways in which you can intensify your training. Here we’ll focus on the role that pre-exhaustion has to play in intensifying the training effect.
When an exercise employs two or more muscles it will be impossible to achieve failure for the primary muscle as the weakest muscle will give out first. This is perhaps best explained by giving an example. When targeting the chest, most exercises involve use of the triceps which is a relatively small and weak muscle. When performing the incline bench press for example, the triceps will fail before the pectorals have the opportunity to work to failure thus limiting the value of the exercise.
How do you get around this? By first performing an exercise that isolates and tires the pectorals before immediately moving on to the main exercise. For maximum benefits there should be no rest between the pre-exhaust exercise and the main compound exercise.
Beginners don’t need to worry about pre-exhaust routines but when they advance to intermediate level they can be introduced once a week for each body part.
Examples of pre-exhaust routines commonly performed by bodybuilders are listed below:
Biceps - barbell curls and close-grip, palms-up pulldowns.
Triceps - pressdowns and dips.
Pectorals - flyes and bench presses.
Lats - dumbbell pullovers and barbell rows.
Deltoids - dumbbell laterals and presses behind neck.
Traps - shrugs and upright rows.
Thighs - leg extensions and squats.
