THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Sherwood Country Club — Northwest Mutual’s WORLD CHALLENGE I hope that you got to see it. If not, you missed Tiger blowing a 4 shot lead in the last nine holes. You missed a shank by Johnson in to an unplayable lie where he then had to hit from a drop zone. And, he knocked it in from 90 yards out, to save a par and tie Tiger. Then on top of all that drama we saw Tiger miss a 3 foot putt and lose the championship to Johnson.
GOLF TIP OF THE WEEK
Because of the weather try this in your living room. Set up like you are addressing the ball; feel your elbows being as close as possible and then begin your back swing with the thought of keeping your elbows at that same closeness throughout the whole back swing and return to the ball. If you do this enough you will begin to feel the pure and proper take away.
GOLF JOKE of the WEEK
The bartender was washing his glasses, and an elderly Irishman came in and with great difficulty, hoisted his bad leg over the barstool, pulled himself up painfully, and asked for a sip of Irish whiskey. The Irishman looked down the bar and said, “Is that Jesus down there?” The bartender nodded and the Irishman told him to give Jesus an Irish whiskey also. The next patron was an ailing Italian with a hunched back and slowness of movement. He shuffled up to the barstool and asked for a glass of Chianti. He also looked down the bar and asked if that was Jesus sitting down there. The bartender nodded and the Italian said to give Him a glass of Chianti also. The third patron, a redneck golfer, swaggered in dragging his knuckles on the floor and hollered. “Bar-keep, set me up a cold one. Hey, is that God’s boy down there?” The barkeep nodded, and the redneck told him to give Jesus a cold one too. As Jesus got up to leave, he walked over to the Irishman, touched him and said, “For your kindness, you are healed!” The Irishman felt the strength come back to his leg, and he got up and danced a jig to the door. Jesus touched the Italian and said, “For your kindness, you are healed!” The Italian felt his back straighten and he raised his hands above his head and did a flip out the door. As Jesus walked toward the redneck golfer, the redneck jumped back and exclaimed, “Don’t touch me, I’m drawin’ disability!”
