Tiger and Sergio need to grow up
I am tired and disgusted after watching the bickering and ranting going on between Tiger and Sergio. Here are the facts: These two grown men have gained fame and fortune because of the game of golf. They play the finest courses in the world and are treated like royalty everywhere they go. Either man could decide to quit golf tomorrow and never have to work another day the rest of their life. How many other people in their 20"s or 30's have this luxury because of a God given talent?
If it weren't for the game of golf Tiger would probably be in the military or working at a fitness club. Sergio would probably be teaching junior high and coaching soccer. Golf has given them everything they could have imagined. Instead of saying thank you and taking responsibility they both let their ego's prevail.
The game has given them so much and they have given nothing back except their unsportsmanlike conduct. It's time for them both to grow up and be accountable. Young people need positive role models and golf may just be the last professional sport to carry that message.

New products from KZG
We just received two new models from KZG. The much anticipated GFX Driver and VC-F fairway wood. The GFX Driver is 460 CC and features a classic look. 2 weight ports allow for adjustment of trajectory and alter fade / draw bias. The new VC-F Fairway is a beautiful club in a tradition pear shape design in a black satin finish. The shallow face and weighted sole provide a high trajectory ball flight for more distance. Both clubs have a an incredibly solid feel. Come by and try them soon.

Great Masters
What an exciting Sunday afternoon of golf at Augusta! Congratulations to Adam Scott for his victory and to Angel Cabrera for his incredible shot on 18 to create the playoff. I have a few other thoughts and observations about the week.
I personally do not think it is good for the game to have viewers calling in about rules situations. It is the responsibility of the players to know the rules, and for the PGA rules officials to administer them. That is what they are paid for. If they are not competent or fail to do their job then they should be replaced. Can you imagine if the same thing was allowed in the NFL, NBA or Major League Baseball?
I think Tiger should have been disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard. However I don't blame him for playing since the Masters rules committee allowed him to continue.
I felt sorry for the 14 year old from China for being penalized, but after four warnings I think the committee did the right thing. If he is going to play professional golf he needs to learn to improve his pace of play. My only concern is why isn't this practice carried out more often on the tour? Play has gotten agonizingly slow on both the men's and ladies' tours. It won't change until the players pocketbooks begin to be affected by penalty strokes.
The Masters tests a players nerves like no other tournament in the world. What a magnificent display of shot making by Scott and Cabrera. Congratulations to them both for their fine play and sportsmanship.

Great Commercial
I really enjoyed seeing the commercial with Arnold Palmer encouraging players to "swing your swing - not somebody's else's swing". It features lots of players practicing their swing and hitting shots. Of course the lesson he is teaching here is that we are all different, and it is okay that we don't all swing the same.
Fuzzy Zoeller was recently on Feherty and talked about growing up competing with his buddies on the golf course. The local pro showed them how to grip the club properly, then set them on their way to learn how to play on their own. They each developed their own swing style and learned to work the ball by trial and error and practice.
As an instructor I am certainly not saying instruction is a bad thing as long as it is done in a constructive way. When a player comes to me with a problem I diagnose the cause, explain what to do to correct it and leave it at that. I don't try to change a player's swing into some "swing model" or arbitrary "perfect position". I see too many young instructors attempting this and inevitably it results in disaster.
As Harvey Pennick said in his book, "Take a pill, not the whole bottle". Great advice from a very wise man. Get out and enjoy playing this Spring and remember to swing your swing.

Turn off the tube and turn to your PGA Pro
Earlier this week I had the TV on here at the golf shop. Sometimes I'll have a news channel on and occasionally the Golf Channel if a tournament is scheduled. This day I chose the Golf Channel. After the first hour I realized they had discussed no less than six golf tips for the weekend player. I was thinking to myself how confused the average player is going to be on his next trip to the course. Talk about information overload!
The best thing you can do for your golf game is to put down the magazines, turn off the videos and stop watching the "Helpful Henrys" on television. Instead make an appointment with your PGA Professional. He or she will quickly diagnose the cause of your particular shot problem and explain how to correct it. It's that simple - no six swing tips that overload your brain and lead to meltdown on the course.
Spring is here so now is the time to get your game and your equipment ready for the season. At Golf Rx we offer award wining instruction, custom fitted equipment and club repair services. We look forward to seeing you soon.
