Fusser’s book provides a very easy to follow regimen and explanation of what he wants you to achieve through his program. Women of all ages will benefit from this program even if they don’t play golf. Weight training done the proper way with the proper understanding of form and execution will allow you to develop improved flexibility and strength. For me this means better endurance and hopefully, more length and control over my shots.

What I am writing about here is my perception of the book. Personally I have not been able to test his exercises and program to give you my own results. I had surgery shortly after receiving a copy of this book for review and am still rehabbing. Once I am released to do more aggressive training this book will be at my side.

The only disappointment I have with the book is that the majority of the photos depicting the exercises are taken of males. Given the number of females Kai has worked with and…the title of this book…I would think that showing women doing the exercises as described would be a more logical approach to this training program. Other than that I think the program presents a well balanced and segmented approach to achieving the results you want at the level your own level.

Once I give it a go I will be back to share my results.

Good way to start off the new year!!!

What I liked most was the suspense that the author built up in the quest of two families, each descendants of the original two parties to this mess, to find the ‘trophy club’ that would grant the holder the rights to the other’s land, home and possessions. A lot was at stake and Mitchell superbly takes us through the highs and lows, ebb and flow of emotions as the participants became keenly aware of just how much they stood to lose if they were not the holder of the Trophy Club. The tension was palpable!

What an enjoyable read this book was and I do highly recommend it more for its mystery and cunning plot than for any golf historical relevance. The ending certainly leaves you waiting impatiently for the next of the series to be released!!!

The Swinger is a book written by Michael Bamberger and Alan Shipnuck that is a fictional account that mirrors the recent exploits of one, Tiger Woods.  The main character in this book is professional golfer, Herbert X. Tremont (‘Tree’) who is at the top of his game, the top of almost every leaderboard, on top of too many women to count and happily married with children for a while.

What the authors do is take you inside the locker room, the bedroom and visit the goings-on with this fictional super-athlete as told by sportswriter, Josh Dutra who is hired by Tremont Inc to handle his press and as it turns out to write his story.

Let me say that I was not too interested in reading this book when it arrived on my doorstep.  My opinion of the whole Tiger mess was that another elitist athlete got caught with his pants down and screwed up his life…end of story.  However, I agreed to read and review it and honestly, I am glad I did.  I found the approach to the plot was both humorous and sincere.  It gave me, the reader, a glimpse of what I would believe to be an accurate look into the life on the PGA Tour for a lot of these guys but more so for those at the top of their games.  I don’t condone what Tree (or Tiger ) did…that is not my call but I do appreciate what ‘they’ have given to the game of golf.

The authors have done a wonderful job of letting the reader in on some of the juiciest and secretive sides of professional golf.  Worth the read for a light-hearted tale.

Author, James Ross’ newest novel, Pabby’s Score, is his fifth in a series set in East St. Louis at the local golf course, Prairie Winds. We once again meet up with the locals that take up regular residence at the golf course with J. Dub Schroeder and Julie at the helm of the course and the action.

Like with Ross’ previously released novels, the author provides a masterfully intertwined story line where life’s lesson, pitfalls and evil intersect life on the golf course. In Pabby’s Score, Pabby is a severely autistic orphan living in a group foster home. He becomes part of the ‘gang’ at Prairie Winds due to a socialization program that is designed to take a couple of the teens from the foster home to a setting that they otherwise would never experience…a golf course.

While Pabby and Shae, another resident of the group home, along with their caretakers make regular visits to Prairie Winds, there is another story going on that exposes the greed, corruption and fraud that is the underbelly of the legal and political system in this part of the world.

Ross masterfully weaves the characters in and out of the sub-plots and keeps the reader spellbound while trying to figure out how they are interconnected. Mid-way through the read it seems the title’s meaning becomes clear….but…wait! Is there more to it than meets the eye?

This novel is not only an easy read but its message of legal manipulations, corruption and abuse of power is timely and spot on. The innocence of these mentally challenged characters adds a stark comparison to the evil that engulfs them and changes their lives forever.

Even if you are not an avid golfer, this novel will not disappoint you. I am already anticipating Ross’ next release….whatever and whenever that isJ!

Thanks for visiting Ladies on the Tee at www.sherrytabb.com. A special thanks to Author, James Ross for sending me an advance copy to read and review.  To see all of Ross’ work go to www.authorjamesross.com.

Yani Tseng has quietly compiled one of the most amazing years in LPGA history. She has 6 tour wins and 11 top 10’s in 18 tournaments. With her two major wins this year at The Wegman’s LPGA Championship and The Ricoh Women’s British Open she became the youngest golfer, male or female, to ever win five major championships. Take that Tiger!

The 22 year old just won her 6^th tournament of 2011 by taking the title at the LPGA’s Hana Bank Championship in South Korea by a stroke over Na Yeon Choi. Tseng now leads the 2011 LPGA money list with just under $2.4 million.

After finishing sixth at the 2008 LPGA Q School, Yani became a full time member of the LPGA Tour. Since then she has been a woman on a mission, winning a total of 11 tournaments and completely dominating women’s golf over the past two years.

Born and raised in Taiwan, Yani has even tried to become Americanized. She took residence in Orlando after purchasing Annika Sorenstam’s old house and has taken English lessons to improve her communication skills for TV interviews and personal appearances.

There is no reason to believe that she will slow her winning ways now or in the near future. Her game is solid and she seems to revel in the spotlight that goes along with being the Rolex World No. 1 Ranked Women’s Golfer.

Thanks for visiting Ladies on the Tee at www.sherrytabb.com.  Congrats to Yani on a phenomenal season!

No main street cruising, Friday night football games or high school proms for 17 year old golf phenom, Alexis Thompson. She is petitioning the LPGA for full membership and playing privileges for the 2012 season.

In 2007 at age 12, Lexi became the youngest woman to ever qualify for the U. S. Women’s Open. She turned professional at age 15 and two weeks ago became the youngest winner ever on the LPGA Tour by capturing first place at the Navistar LPGA Classic.

The LPGA does not allow membership under the age of 18, but Thompson successfully petitioned the LPGA to allow her to enter Q School in July. She shot four rounds in the 60’s and blew away the entire field at first stage of LPGA Q School by 10 shots.

LPGA Commissioner, Michael Whan, may have just received his Christmas and Birthday presents all rolled up into one tidy little package named Alexis Thompson. Lexi is exactly what the LPGA needs. She is a serious, talented, fresh, young, golfer with a game to back up her great style.

The LPGA has not been the same since the retirements of Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa. Yani Tseng dominated the Tour in 2010 and again in 2011 but the LPGA needs an American face to bring women’s golf back into corporate sponsorship big bucks. Christie Kerr, Paula Creamer, Morgan Pressel, and Michelle Wie have not been able to fill the void left when Annika and Lorena left the tour to start families.

Lexi has the game, charm and style to help launch the LPGA back to prominence. All she has to do is “Just Win Baby”.

Thanks for visiting Ladies on the Tee at www.sherrytabb.com. Keep on eye on this young lady….she really ‘has game’!

Golf has been all about Hi-Tech for many years.  Low compression, soft feel, golf balls that explode off of a 460cc, high MOI, WMD with light weight, composite graphite shaft that produces more swing speed, a higher launch angle and less spin for extra carry and distance.  Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.  The newest and hottest technology, by far, is Twitter and it doesn’t even cost a dime, no $499.99 price tag.  Even the worst weekend hacker can chat up Hank Haney, Paul Azinger even Rory McIlroy on your home computer or smart phone.

With the explosion of the social media phenomena the newest hi-tech advancement for golf freaks is Twitter.  It seems that Twitter connects nearly everyone in the golf world.  In fact Ian Poulter and Stewart Cink are in a tight race for the most followers or Tweeps.  Poulter has 1,210,038 but Stewie Cink is currently the leader in the clubhouse, however, with 1,210,205 followers.  That’s right I didn’t stutter, they have over 1 million followers, each.  And you thought you were the only crazy golf nut out there.

Twitter offers anything from swing tip advice from Hank Haney to up to the minute news flashes from Tiger Woods.  That’s right, ”The” Tiger Woods.  He announces everything via his website and twitter.  You can get the same up to the second news that ESPN, the Golf Channel, or other sports news media receive about tournament scoring, updates or even Eldrick, himself. Follow the LPGA, PGA, Ladies and Mens European Tour, or Golf Channel announcers such as, Brandel Chamblee, Frank Nobilo, and Rich Lerner for golf news and analysis.  It’s inter-active, you can even chat them up, in 140 characters or less.

If you like to talk about golf 24/7/365 and are looking for others to chat with, Twitter is for you.  There is always someone on twitter that will chat, argue, or discuss any golf topic that meets your fancy.  Enhance your viewing pleasure by twittering with other golf fanatics while watching golf on TV.  Make fun of the announcers, share the joy of an amazing golf shot just pulled off by one of the professionals, or ruminate over the 13 shots that John Daly just took on the par 4.

If you decide to join golf’s newest hi-tech phenomenon, jump on Twitter, follow me, and give me a shout out @tolohgolfr.  I’ll be there.  I’m hooked.

A special thanks to Fred Altvater for this great article and thank you for visiting Ladies on the Tee at www.sherrytabb.com. Feel free to follow us on Twitter @ladiesonthetee.

Let me first start with the information put out by the company:

Mobitee Golf Assistant, the most sophisticated, multi-platform (iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Nokia, Windows Phone, Bada) golf GPS application has just released its newest update on iPhone, now giving players the ability to use shot tracking. Adding to its long list of astonishing features including satellite view, rangefinder, flyover videos, golf guide and more, shot tracking allows users to record and track all their hits, register the position of a shot and associate a club to it. This multiple award-winning application will also calculate the average distance taken with each club and register the best first shot from the tee box. Having a caddie is no longer a privilege! Mobitee is available on every App Store or on www.mobitee.com for only $24.99!

See below for screenshots:

Aerial View                                            Shot tracking                               Rangefinder  (Augmented reality)

After testing the product myself, I found it to be very accurate and loved the ‘fly over’ feature that shows the entire layout of the hole you are on….especially useful if you are playing an unfamiliar course.  That’s not to say I didn’t struggle a bit at first with finding a course in my area that was already set up.   What I had to do was to go the main website and enter the required information myself which wasn’t too bad after I did the first one.

The features of the Mobitee app are remarkable in that they use a satellite view of the course not an artist’s rendition.  You may enter your club information for yardages and the app will prompt use to use the club based on the yardage position.  However, there are some issues that I noted.  One is that the app doesn’t automatically change to the next hole so you need to be mindful as to where you are on the course.  It doesn’t take long to figure out if you haven’t advanced the screen when the yardgae on the screen comes up as something way out of whack.  Another is that even though there is a scorecard tracking option built-in to the app, that is as far as the tracking goes for now.  Michael Morales, President of Mobitee was quick to assure me that a very robust system of tracking statistics for your rounds will be coming soon.

Beyond the features of the app itself, obvious concerns using a smartphone app for an entire round of golf was the battery life of the phone itself and the visibility of the phone screen in sunny conditions.  These are unique to the phone that you may use but I found on my Droid Incredible 2 as long as I turned the screen off in between shots, I made it with battery life to spare after my 18-hole rounds.  My screen did have glare but since I use a cart the screen was clear and visible while I looked at it in the cart.  Shady areas were fine as well.

Bottom line…for the price of $24.99 I would recommend this app over the purchase of a stand alone GPS product that costs a few hundred dollars. There is no annual fee associated with this product and there is even a FREE lite version that is offered as well.  For what we pay for our smartphones theses days it’s good that we can save some money while using apps geared to them
