Awesome Golf Carts

Is golf evil? Avatar director James Cameron seems to think so.

Yes, it’s evil. Even if our resident Pro is a decent golfer, it is extremely difficult to maintain concentration and enjoy yourself when someone is criticizing your every shot. It’s golf’s version of the backseat driver.

While I can’t speak for the majority, I personally have enough to think about during my 18 holes besides someone telling me how to change my 20 year old habits. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will never be a great golfer. I understand and accept that I have neither the time nor the desire to bring my game to the next level. If I did, I’d take lessons and practice non-stop. All I have to gain from my round is pure enjoyment of the game, the beautiful outdoors, and being with the boys.

On the rare occasion I have had the opportunity to play with some scratch golfers who have either had a unique ability to keep their tips to themselves or simply just didn’t care enough to comment. These are the times when my playing gets better. Ironically enough, these are also the times that I get the best golf tips.

The last time I was with a scratch golfer, I was slicing terribly. At about the 5th hole, after I sent my ball deep into the adjacent subdivision, my scratch partner simply said, “slow down your swing.” Sure enough, my next drive I kept my swing slow and easy and hit it straight down the fairway. Each hole from there on in got progressively better and this tip has helped me for years to this day.

The conundrum is obvious; do I like being told on the course how to play better golf? No, not really. But in this case, it really helped my game. I settled down after an opening 7 followed by a 10 and managed to squeak out a 103 for 18 holes. The key here, in my opinion, is to limit the golf tips provided by our well meaning partners. When you are told at each shot to try something different, it leads to nothing but disaster. It causes one to think too much. However, throw in the odd tip here and there and major improvements can be made.

So how does one deal with golf’s version of the backseat driver? I personally think the best way is to ignore all comments if they keep coming in rapid fashion. Sure, the odd golf tip may help and should be considered. But, a relentless attack on your game leads to nothing but higher scores.

At the 2009 PGA Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn., Y.E. Yang did what Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia, Bob May, Rocco Mediate, Phil Mickelson, Colin Montgomerie and Vijay Singh couldn’t — wrestle a major title from Woods on Sunday afternoon. 

How did the unheralded 37-year-old Korean who barely touched a club until he had finished high school pull off one of golf’s greatest upsets? With gutsy shotmaking, clutch putting, and the will to ignore the 300-pound elephant in the red shirt. According to Yang’s interpreter, “I just forgot that I was dealing with Tiger altogether.” 

“Probably until the 18th green, when I acknowledged that Tiger could make a miraculous comeback. I just played my game. “ 

“Try to finish top 10 — that’s my biggest expectation. Finishing top 10 in a major for me would be a great feat in itself. I’ve played 50 or 60 tournaments in the U.S. and I’ve only made the top 10 five times, including my two wins. Not until I made the chip for eagle on 14 [on Sunday] did I just vaguely think, I might have a chance. “ 

Yang’s caddie said that  Yang was the mentally toughest player he’s ever seen. However, Y.E. Yang didn’t think that was toughness, but a will to block out everything peripheral and just concentrate on his strategy. “Thus I become oblivious to any and all pressure, or at least I try to”, Yang said. 

Actually, Y.E. Yang didn’t start playing golf until he was 19. And he even didn’t know about golf back then. But once he found out about golf he wanted to learn more about it. Before 19 Yang probably touched a few golf balls but that’s about it. He didn’t know what a golf club would look like and how the game was played.

Ryder Cup star Sergio Garcia could miss the start of the new season after failing to recover from a hand injury.

The Spaniard suffered a sprained right hand during the third round of the season-ending Dubai World Championship last month, where he finished seventh.

Garcia has taken a break from the game but is still suffering from pain in the hand and is now set to visit a specialist in a bid to resolve the problem.

“The hand is not well,” Garcia said. “I haven’t played for three weeks and I still feel pain, it’s not healing as fast as we thought it would.

“What’s clear is that even with the rest it’s not better and we’re a little bit worried.”

The world number 11 is still hoping to kick off 2010 in the Abu Dhabi Championship starting on January 21.

“I’ve tried to swing and I can’t,” he admitted. “(But) I’d like to start the tournament at Abu Dhabi completely healed.”

a joke:Monkeys

Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each. The villagers, knowing there were many monkeys, went to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He then announced that he would buy monkeys at $20 each. This renewed the villagers efforts and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let alone catch it! The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would buy on his behalf. The assistant told the villagers, “Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that my boss has already collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when my boss returns, you can sell them to him for $50.” The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys for 700 billion dollars. They never saw the man or his assistant again, only lots and lots of monkeys! Now you have a better understanding of how the WALL STREET BAILOUT PLAN WORKS !!! It doesn’t get much clearer than this……..
