Golf Jokes
Because golf provides life-long enjoyment, the devotion to the game has always spawned golf jokes – which help to create a light-hearted and friendly approach to a game that can be challenging. Here is an example, about a wife?Äôs husband who was devoted to the game of golf:
A woman goes into the local newspaper office to see that the obituary for her recently deceased husband is published. The newspaper editor informs her that there is a charge of 50 cents per word.
She pauses, reflects, and then says well then, let it read ?ÄúFred Brown died.?Äù
Amused at the woman?Äôs thrift, the editor tells her that there is a seven word minimum for all obituaries.
She thinks it over and in a few seconds says, ?ÄúIn that case, let it read,
?ÄòFred Brown died: golf clubs for sale.?Äô?Äù

Golf Tip of the Week
The most common thing that causes poor contact in shots around the green is the hands and wrists trying to scoop the ball in the air. The scooping action results in punishing shots that are bladed over the green or hit fat and fall short of the target.
The scooping action of your hands and wrists causes the shaft of the club to lean away from the target at impact. This backward-leaning shaft creates a thicker sole (bounce) which makes it difficult to hit the ball solidly. If you want to strike the ball solidly you must replace your scoop with a technique that creates a forward leaning shaft at impact.
The most effective training aid for preventing your scoop and creating forward shaft lean is The Punisher. First grip your chipping club normally; grip a second club underneath the first one down close to the hosel or Clubhead. The second grip should now be sticking out under your left armpit.
Try keeping the second shaft away from your left side as you swing through. During the chipping motion, if you are a scooper the extended part of the club will punish you by bumping into your side. Instant feedback. Be careful not to take too long of a swing. After eliminating the scoop, you will eliminate the punishing fat and thin shots from your short game.
