"Improve your golf mental toughness 10-fold"

Every golfer has heard the saying "It's all in your head" or "Golf is 90% mental" or "Golf is the most mentally demanding sport in the world." Yet what do golfers do about it? Well, most often absolutley nothing! Not necessarily because they don't want to, but sometimes golfers actually think the mental game doesn't matter to them!

Click Here to Unlock Your Mind and Shoot Better Golf

EVERY golfer can benefit from increasing their mental toughness and harnessing the full power of thier mind!

Many golfers naively get stuck into thinking that the mental game only matters for elite players or pros who make a living golfing. Nonsense! EVERY golfer needs to use their mind properly.

• It is your mind that determines how well you learn when taking lessons. (and this training course is packed with accelerated learning techniques that will have you absorbing more from lessons)

• It is your mind that will allow you to set up to the ball correctly and commit to your swing (or not!).

• It is your mind that will either stay focused under pressure and get you to make a smooth, fluid stroke when you need to drain an 8 footer for the win, or have you choking like a dog and collapsing like a house of cards when the heat is on!

"When you have a chance to shoot the lowest score of your life you won't choke - You Will Go Low!"

Know Someone Who Needs Back or Leg Pain Relief?

Several weeks ago we learned about a new device for treating back pain and sciatica that promised amazing results.

Of course we were very skeptical but did some research, read many testimonials and saw that it was clinically trialed.  We were surprised at the results and wanted to share this with Tour Members.

Several who had been suffering from various types of back pain and sciatica noticed immediate improvement.

If you know someone who would be remotely interested, you need to click on the link below and get them to order right away. Now you can get it in 5 days but no one can confirm that they will have any left by the time you get this newsletter...  What is it?

A new, safe and easy alternative for back pain sufferers.  It is a unique product that affords users clinic quality spinal decompression wherever and whenever it's needed, with absolutely no inversion.

• Clinically trialed

The Clinically Trialed Back Pain Solution

One of the testimonial was from Doris, who is now 93, telling  how she struggled with chronic back and leg pain for over 30 years...

Here's a paragraph from her letter:

"After viewing the 30 second video demonstration I thought that it looked easy enough for someone of my age to use. This was true and after the first time using it I felt quite an improvement. But after two weeks of use now I'm completely pain free."

ULTIMATE TOUR "VET" WINS 3-WAY SENIOR AM TOUR PLAYOFF

West End, NC

June 21, 2012

Fifteen years ago, before there was a Senior Amateur Golf Tour, Cary's Russ Padgett joined the Carolina Blonde Amateur Golf Tour. As a matter of fact, he was the very first member to sign up for the Raleigh Chapter of the Tour. Since then the Tour has evolved into the Golfweek Tour, with a senior off-shoot, The Senior Amateur Golf Tour. Padgett has seen it all and been along for the whole ride.

Russ has aged along with the Tours and is now eligible to compete against the older guys. He did so successfully today at The Dormie Club, winning a 3-way playoff for 1st place honors in the B Flight. A par on the second hole of a sudden death playoff enabled him to get by Greensboro's Vic Robertson and Carthage's Mike Garber after all 3 had fired regulation 78s.

There would have been a playoff for the top spot in the A Flight as well, but Ron Caulder of North Myrtle Beach won in a "walk-over" from Pinehurst's Jim Rohr when Rohr left the premises before the playoff could start. Both had posted 75s during their first 18 holes.

Ron Hockensmith emerged as a 1-stroke winner over Cary's Steve Linton in the Championship Flight (which played from tees approximately 500 yards longer than the rest of the field) - 75 to 76. Hockensmith has enjoyed great success in the Championship Flight the last half of this season after being promoted from the A Flight earlier this year.

Charlotte's Sindo Mayor was the C Flight victor with an 83. Mayor was particularly fortunate as he got in as a "stand-by" when another player failed to show. He was 3 strokes clear of both James Eatmon of Sims and Archdale's Elby Hatfield.

Next up for the Seniors is the season's third "Major Championship" at Bryan Park, the Players Course next Thursday. Spots are filling up quickly for that event.

ONLY WHEN THE FORM OF PLAY IS A FACTOR WILL IT BE STATED

If you do not have a Rules of Golf book handy, go to:

http://www.usga.org/Rule-Books/Rules-of-Golf/Rules-and-Decisions/

If you have any questions pertaining to this or previous quizzes, please ask.

Question from week #151

Select all correct answers:

During a stipulated round, a player may borrow a club:

A. Never

B. If he is carrying fewer than 14 clubs.

C. Only from a partner.

D. For measuring a one or two club distance, provided he has one of equivalent or longer length in his bag.

Answers:

B and D are correct answers.

The single qualifying requirement for borrowing a club with which to make a stroke is the player must have fewer than 14 clubs. While he may not borrow a club selected for play by another player on the course, he is not restricted from adding or borrowing a club from a player who has completed play, yet to tee off or from the pro shop.

If you have 14 clubs, borrowing any club to make a stroke would breach Rule 4-4. However, if you were to practice a putt or chip with a fellow competitor’s or partner’s club, there would be no penalty as you have not made a stroke with a borrowed club. The same applies to the player who borrows a club for measuring. Decision 20-2 clarifies that if you borrow a club you must be able to have duplicated the measured effect with one of your own clubs. If you could not duplicate the distance measured and then made a stroke at the ball you would be penalized under R20-7, wrong place.

Tour Weather Guidelines

Primarily, we adhere to the same guidelines that the PGA Tour uses:  If the course is open, we're going to play. 

The only exception to this is that I'll never put any of you in harm's way during an event because of dangerous weather.  (i.e. - lightening or severe cold and wetness). 

In other words, I won't let the course "bully" us into playing where an unsafe condition might exist.
 

Because I arrive at every event at least two hours prior to the start time and I generally have to leave my house at least an hour before that to get to the course, there is no sense calling me just before the event, because I won't be at the office.  The best avenue to take is to call the course if the weather seems threatening.

If you are on the roster for the event, and you do not get a cancellation notice from the course after calling them, you are expected to show up in time for the scheduled shotgun start.
