Mental Toughness Training for Golf by Dr. Rob Bell

Christian — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 18:37:36 +0000

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm my own worst enemy on the golf course. I can be having the round of my life and then my brain starts getting in the way. When this happens, I can psych myself into some of the worst swings & decisions ever made. I think it's something that happens to all gofers of all ability levels. Trying to keep yourself focused, and at the same time, not putting so much pressure on yourself that you can't perform is a delicate ...

Golf Magazines Will Ruin Your Game

Christian — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 15:50:55 +0000

Ok, that's probably not exactly true, but the golf industry magazines most of us subscribe to, might not be doing your game as much good as you think. Consider it for a moment, they have to put out a new magazine each month. 50%+ of the magazine is filled with "fix your slice", "hit drives longer", "make every putt" type articles. Is having a new set of quick fix methods every 30 days really the best thing for your game? Are all of these tips just thrown together so they ...

Chi Chi Rodriguez’s Puerto Rican Home Robbed

Christian — Wed, 19 May 2010 19:01:52 +0000

Three armed men robbed famed Puerto Rican golfer Juan Antonio "Chi Chi" Rodriguez of about $500,000 worth of jewelry, watches and other personal items in his home early Wednesday, police said. The crime occurred about 1:30 a.m. when the robbers broke into the golfer's home at El Lagado Resort in the southern Puerto Rican city of Guayama, police spokesman Wilson Porrata said. The robbers tied Rodriguez up before making off with the merchandise, Porrata said in a statement. Rodriguez, 74, and his wife were ...

Who Will Take Over As Tiger’s New Swing Coach?

Christian — Wed, 12 May 2010 17:20:57 +0000

Now that Hank has left Tiger to his own devices, like just about everyone else in his little world, the question begs...Who will be the new Tiger Woods swing coach? Ordinarily, I'd say that there'd be a mile long line for this gig, but with Tiger's current health issues, personal problems, and overall lack of a golf game, he might need to offer some sweet incentives to hire someone quickly. Butch Harmon? NO!. With Butch being Phil's coach, and the way that Tiger and Harmon parted ways back in the early 2000's, ...

Congrats to Phil Mickelson, 2010 Masters Champ.

Christian — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 16:17:29 +0000

Now THAT was a Masters. The Tiger comeback drama. Freddy & Tom working to become the oldest major winner in history. The British contingent at the top of the leaderboard. And then there was Phil. Anyone who didn't, for at least one moment, think that he was about to make 3 eagles in a row on Saturday is just plain lying. In my mind, that was the chain of events that lit a fire under Phil and set his Sunday win in motion. Nothing against Westwood, he played brilliantly, but in the ...

Freddy Couples Golf Shoes

Christian — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 02:43:44 +0000

Forget about the return of Tiger Woods, everyone wants to know about Freddy Couples golf shoes..If you've been watching any golf lately, including the Masters or the Champions Tour, you've no doubt seen Freddy Couples and his spiffy...boat shoes? Skateboard shoes? Bowling shoes?...well I guess they're golf shoes. But these aren't just any golf shoe, they're the Golf Street Premier golf shoe by Ecco. Freddy's been in search of the "most comfortable golf shoe" for some time, and he's found it in this model by Ecco. Not only is it not ...

Big John Daly Playing Well in Florida

Christian — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 16:53:39 +0000

John Daly finished the opening round of the Transitions Championship with a one under score of 70 and a day 2 round of 71 to currently put him tied for 27th. Unless a dozen guys go low in the afternoon rounds, it looks like we'll get to see Big John stick around for the weekend's festivities. It sure would be nice to see him shoot a couple good rounds and pull a top 10 finish. Here's some Round 1 Highlights.

Will Ray Romano Break 80 on the Haney Project?

Christian — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 18:34:03 +0000

After checking out the first installment of the new season of the Golf Channel's "Haney Project", I'm pretty convinced that Ray Romano has a solid enough game to be able to break 80 one day, with the help of Hank. First off, it's obvious that it's a serious goal of Ray's to do this. You can tell he loves the game and practices, so that's half the battle in my book. Fundamentally, he isn't horrible. You saw Hank point out that he's coming over the top because he takes it too ...

Tiger Will Speak…This Friday 2-19..Press Conference.

Christian — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 20:10:45 +0000

Looks like we'll finally get to hear from Tiger this Friday, as he's scheduled a press conference at 11:00am ET which will be shown on The Golf Channel. I'm guessing we'll probably get an idea of when he'll be returning to competitive golf and probably some version of an apology, but who knows really. Maybe he'll announce his retirement from the game..or that he's marrying one of his mistresses. Anything is possible at this point. This will be the first we've heard from Tiger since the car crash and ensuing circus ...
