What do you do? Tropical storm Fay is right on top of us and unfortunately we may not get to go out to the practice tee. But that doesn't mean we cannot work on a few things indoors. Chuck E. Sat, 23 Aug 2008 16:50:58 EDT http://www.golfnewsupdate.com/ShowArticle.aspx?CategoryID=3&ArticleID=286 Use training aids. If training aids are used by the world's best players then why aren't YOU using them? Do they make you feel "stupid" or out of place? Do you think that VJ Singh, Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker, Tiger Woods and others care WHAT others think? They want to be the best and are willing to put in the time AND effort to reach their goals.

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 08:56:08 EDT http://www.golfnewsupdate.com/ShowArticle.aspx?CategoryID=3&ArticleID=284 We all have seen and know of golf teachers that, when a beginner comes up to them, the first thing they do is put a driver in their hands because everyone wants to hit the driver longer, straighter. Chuck E. Tue, 12 Aug 2008 08:46:59 EDT http://www.golfnewsupdate.com/ShowArticle.aspx?CategoryID=3&ArticleID=283 When practicing, where the ball goes is of no relevance, learn to make a Motion and let the Motion make the shot NOT visa versa. Secondly, learn to do something correctly even if you miss the ball until you dont miss it anymore.there is no successful alternative! Chuck E.

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 08:47:13 EDT http://www.golfnewsupdate.com/ShowArticle.aspx?CategoryID=1&ArticleID=278 The Challenge Officially, this is an adult sportswriter Gordon probably thinks that is an oxymoron vs. two 11-year-olds. Off the record, its a way to play golf, have a few laughs and, by writing a story, justify turning the receipts in on my expense account. Randy S. Fri, 25 Jul 2008 07:38:14 EDT http://www.golfnewsupdate.com/ShowArticle.aspx?CategoryID=3&ArticleID=277 Tiger is the best example of this type of motion today. Everyone talks about his hip speed but guess what, if his arms didn't match the turning rate of his pivot then they'd be left behind and he'd either hit a block to the right or try to square up the face by hand manipulation. Chuck E.

As coaches you dont make that type of decision. All one can do is watch, encourage and be proud of how your golfers are performing. This was the scenario this week at the Daily News Junior Classic.
