GOLF TIP OF THE WEEK
This just happened to me, so I know it works:
FAULT: No timing or synchronization on the tee box. Often described as “just doesn’t feel right.”
FIX: First of all one of the most important things we can do in our backswing is to keep the club head as far from the shoulders as possible. As you are taking the club head away from the ball feel yourself extending as much as possible (length from lead shoulder to club head). Always keeping in mind to not move or slide. What happens is you turn better and thus have better timing and tempo.

GOLF JOKE of the WEEK
From my friend Allen Beasley (not golf but still funny)
-A blond man is in the bathroom and his wife shouts: “Did you find the shampoo? “He answers, “Yes, but I’m not sure what to do… it’s for dry hair, and I’ve just wet mine.”
-A blond man goes to the vet with his goldfish. “I think it’s got epilepsy,” he tells the vet. The vet takes a look and says, “It seems calm enough to me”. The blonde man says, “Wait, I haven’t taken it out of the bowl yet”.
-A blond man spies a letter lying on his doormat. It says on the envelope “DO NOT BEND “. He spends the next 2 hours trying to figure out how to pick it up.
-A blond man shouts frantically into the phone “My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!” “Is this her first child?” asks the Doctor. “No”, he shouts, “this is her husband!”
A blond man was driving home, drunk as a skunk. Suddenly he has to swerve to avoid a tree, then another, then another. A cop car pulls him over, so he tells the cop about all the trees in the road. The cop says, “That’s your air freshener swinging about!”
A blonde man’s dog goes missing and he is frantic. His wife says “Why don’t you put an ad in the paper?” He does, but two weeks later the dog is still missing. “What did you put in the paper?” his wife asks. “Here boy!” he replies.
A blond man is in jail.. Guard looks in his cell and sees him hanging by his feet. “Just WHAT are you doing?” he asks. “Hanging myself,” the blond replies. “It should be around your neck” says the guard. “I tried that,” he replies, “but then I couldn’t breathe”.
(This one actually makes sense…sort of…)
An Italian tourist asks a blond man: “Why do Scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats?”
To which the blonde man replies: “If they fell forward, they’d still be in the boat.”
KEEP IT IN THE MIDDLE!
