Fix My Golf Swing that Went Astray

I was golfing with a good friend of mine the other day, and I noticed that as we get older (and fatter), our personal golf swings continue to get uglier and uglier and unfortunately our scores get higher and higher. Our swings are not Charles Barkley ugly but still not fluid just the same. I have always considered myself fairly athletic, not great at any sport, but fairly good at most and especially those that I participate in frequently. And being older now, my football playing days are done and my ankles don't do well playing hoops so I now focus my sports playing on tennis and mostly golf. My friend and I commented the other day that one of the frustrating aspects of golf is that we have played too long to be this bad. I used to be a better golf 10 years ago despite playing more now. Since that time, I have obtained some of the best equipment on the market, purchased golf videos to see what the pros are doing, read Golf Digest for many helpful tips, got some neat advice from very low handicap golfers who I have played with, and even took private lesions, and yet I am getting worse. I now know the reason, everyone tells you something different so you stand over the shot thinking about six ways to execute it, and my swing always pulls the seventh which usually results in a bladed wedge that rolls across the green. I am sure this sounds familiar to many, many golfers.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game and still execute enough shots well to keep me coming back for more but I expect to do more, and I use to do more. Another pal of mine who was a terrible golfer a few years back (110 was a typical score) now shoots in the high 80's. Granted he plays a lot more then he use to but he also says he plays a lot more because he is shooting much better. He attributes his lower scores to some new irons he purchased and BioSwing Golf which taught him the correct way to grip and swing for him. I told this to my other robust friend and he went out and purchased it too and since it has a 60 day trial I did the same (I have attached a link to BioSwing Golf on my blogger page). I know this will Fix My Golf Swing that Went Astray.

Time to Ban Grunting from Wimbledon

I have always been a big tennis fan. I played in high school on the tennis team and even more in college. It is a very underrated sport I think. I will admit that I used to watch tennis more often on TV than I do today (and it is a shame too because the women today are very attractive). Gone are the days of long volleys and baseline play, especially on the guys side of the draw. But I could live with that, and would still watch. What I can’t live with is the outrageously loud grunting that is allowed during play. I know darn well you can hit a tennis ball hard without grunting. Rackets are lighter so it is not like you are wielding a heavy object that takes Herculean strength to brandish. Baseball players swing hard and pitchers throw awful hard, never heard ‘em grunt. Tiger Woods swings his sticks with a ton of force – again no grunting (although he was wincing in pain). I grunt like that when I walk but that is because I am fat, these guys and gals are in perfect condition and have no reason at all, whatsoever, to grunt other than to distract the opponent and make the sport absolutely unwatchable on TV without the mute button (which is a shame because then you miss the witty commentary of John McEnroe) .

Now I know I am not breaking new ground here but some new ground or turf does need to be broken. Would it not be great to see them ban grunting at Wimbledon for the nationally televised games. New rule, you can’t play on center court if you are going to sound like an elephant in heat. Seems like a good rule to me, but what do I know.
