There must he something wrong. There must also be methods of correcting the wrongs. The decided to find out. He decided to play a couple of rounds with experts who would Point out the glaring errors that induced the slump. The first of the tipsters was a gent who had played Golf for Twenty years but had t yet broken 93. Don t play often was the Way he explained his score or Lack of it. But he knew All the problems and he had no hesitation about offering solutions. The one absolutely certain thing you can say about Golf is that one lesson every golfer is a t the drive miraculously having gone 150 stance is All he with All the sureness of Ben Hogan. Too closed. Open it up play the Hail off the left Heel. Also you lift your left Heel too High on the Pivot. Flatten it out. Watch Clian Cycle championships Here.

Through nine tortuous and tortured holes the hip was never unlocked. It remained locked to the score of 6-t for the nine holes. After that in Complete and utter disillusion the Sophomore and his director went to a lunch that also consumed the rest of the afternoon. A 64 for nine. And in the second year of play too. Only a few Days later Gus since he did t have enough con Salerno the Hampshire proves Tidence to take a really full swin gotta get that conf admonished the pro.
