GOLF TIP OF THE WEEK at the turn
The turn is a good place to ask yourself if you've been a victim of the spider syndrome. When a spider is threatened, it curls up into a ball because, for the spider, motion is error. Many golfers under stress do the same thing–driven by the idea that motion is error, they cut back on their swing and steer the ball to minimize off-line shots. This robs them of distance and accuracy, so they tinker, and by the 14th hole, they've lost it completely. Resolve on the back nine to freewheel it.

GOLF JOKE OF THE WEEK
Police are called to an apartment and find a woman holding a bloody 5-iron standing over a lifeless man. The detective asks “Ma’am, is that your husband?” “Yes” says the woman. “Did you hit him with that golf club?” “Yes, yes, I did”. The woman begins to sob, drops the club, and puts her hands on her face. “How many times did you hit him?” “I don’t know – five, six, maybe seven times… just put me down for a five”.
