Duval Falls Way Back & Norman Coasts into the Lead. PDF Print E-mail

After seeing what happend to David Duval today, I do not think I should talk about Mr. Norman. Duval really just never had anything going for him right from the start. And it is pretty hard to shoot 44 on the front nine and try to even post something half decent on the backside. It is to bad to see it happen to David, but I am glad he was able to post two solid rounds this week. Hopefully he can use the Open Championship as motivation and make a few more cuts this season.
 
It is now time for The Shark. As far as I can tell it looks a little like the 1986 Masters and Jack Nicklaus. The fans at Royal Birkdale seem to be very inviting to Norman. It will be interesting to see if that plays true tomorrow with Padriag Harrington in the final group with Norman. But all bets aside, it has been a memorable week for Norman. But lets see if his wife's influence of Yoga pays off for The Shark.
 
 It will be an very interesting round with six golfers within five strokes of Norman. You can never count out KJ Choi, he performs the best he can and gives it his all, all the time. You have to love that attitude.Tune in live online or check the latest Leaderboard here.
 
In ESPN's interview with Norman states he is keeping his expectations low like he has the last three rounds. For having low expectations this guy is sure playing relaxed 1st class golf.

David Duval Back in Contention? PDF Print E-mail

Yes you read that correct. David Duval is back in contention this week at The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. Duval started the tournament off with an opening round 73, followed by a second round 69. He is three shots back of KJ Choi.
 
But how bout The Shark. Newly married at age 53 Norman is only 1 stroke back. Can he do is the question. Tune in for Saturday's round and see.
 
It is good to see David back and healthy, he has missed quite a bit of golf since his back injury a few years back. Duval has only made one cut this year! Duval seems to be swinging well and looks especially happy. Good luck David!
 
Update:
  Duval shot 44 on the front nine! He is currently 10 shots back.
Norman on the other hand is currently tied for the lead.

Where to start, hmm.... okay well I am sure that everyone and their moms saw the highlights of Tiger's domination so I will not recap that. Anyways we have quite the treat for you in this article.We have been given the rights to use all the pictures on this page from a great gal who works for the USGA! 
 
 Did you know that the USGA uses an instrument called TruFirm to test the firmness of the greens? I did not. The USGA test 9 spots on the green to make sure that the green will remain as consistant as possible. If a spot is less firm, they notify the superintendant of the area. The super will then take actions to water the other areas of the greens normally, but affected area a minimal amount. Take a look below:

Want to Improve Your Score...Try Meatloaf!! PDF Print E-mail
Written by Joseph Hallett, PGA

Got your attention didn’t I? Or do you just like that moist and meaty American stand-by? I’ll take mine with some mashed potatoes and green beans please! Now lets’ get on to golf…if you are unhappy with your score (much like Frenchmen Jean Van de Velde was at the British Open) take a look at your statistics first! The key for making birdies and pars is how many greens you are hitting in regulation. A brief moment of your time to make a small but noteworthy point - THE PROS DO NOT HIT 17-18 GREENS PER ROUND! They’re average is in the 75% range which using the “new math” converts to about 13.5 greens per round (the ½ may be considered on the fringe if you like!). This means that the best players in the world miss close to one green every three holes. Here is where the difference lies, they’re up and down percentage is in the 65-70% range here - meaning, in laymen’s terms, that for all the greens they miss - they par approximately four of those holes. How are you doing on these holes? Take a look at your “stat” for this area and you will know where to begin. Don’t panic, I am getting to the Meatloaf part soon!

Question: I want to hit the ball more consistently? PDF Print E-mail

Question: I want to hit the ball more consistently? 

Answer: This is one of the most common questions I hear during my lessons.  The answer is in a balanced finish.  If you watch any golf on television, you will notice that every player is in total balance, when they are finished with their swing.  Having a balanced finish (posing) and being a consistent player, go hand in hand.

Work on finishing your swing in the same position as you see the players on tv.  This position is: hands over your shoulder, body facing the target, with your back foot straight up and down (on your tip toe).  You need to check your balance at your address position, you shouldn’t be leaning in any particular direction, balanced evenly, on the balls of both feet.  This is important because it is difficult to have a balanced finish, if you start out of balance.

Practice “finishing” at a slow speed, then gradually speed up as you master the task.  I recommend doing this at home, taking slow practice swings without a ball.  Not using a ball allows you to pay attention to how you are finishing, not where the ball is going. 

A balanced “perfect” finish will help you hit the ball more consistently.
