Do you hit it fat?

Fat is NOT Where It’s At

Why doesn’t Tiger hit it fat when he drops down toward the ball at impact as is his habit – or perhaps of more importance – why do you hit it fat? The answer is most golfers hit it fat when their lead shoulder fails to do its job.

At address you establish the radius of your golf swing, the distance from the tip of your lead shoulder to the bottom of the clubface – let’s say its 60 inches. The rule is that at impact, no matter what else is different, you must return the radius to 60 inches. If you operate your shoulders correctly so they rotate at an angle to the ground, the back shoulder will be down at impact but the lead shoulder will be up. Since the lead shoulder controls the radius it must be high in order for your club to arrive with its radius restored to 60. Because you lower your back shoulder during the downswing you must raise your front shoulder by impact to prevent the club from becoming “too long’ and digging into the ground behind the ball, AKA a fat shot.

    

Cap: During the backswing Tigers left shoulder turns down under his chin while his right shoulder travels up to finish behind his ear. During the downswing the shoulders will reverse themselves i.e. the right goes down while the left raises up.

 

Cap: With Annika looking on Tiger demonstrates ‘lead shoulder high.” His spine may have dropped down but his radius stays the same because his left shoulder rotates not only up but behind him.

No Respect!!

How about a Hot Dog with Your Fry’s

During the last round at the Fry’s a man rushed from the crowd, shouted something in what sounded like Latin, fired a hot dog at Tiger Woods then fell to the ground and surrendered.  The hot dog was concealed in a bun which flew off during the attack.  The police would not say if the perpetrator acted alone but Frank, a source close to the investigation who uses only one name as do many people in California, said that security had confiscated dangerous fruits a day earlier from several men before they entered the tournament grounds – among them were two large radishes and a Coco de Mer (Lodoicea maldivica).

Tiger remained calm and missed his 18 footer for a birdie.

The question is ‘was a crime committed?” A California state legislature said there was a law already on the books against hitting someone with a dangerous fruit but there was no law covering an attack with processed meat. The legislature plans a referendum that would cover all food no matter what its country of origin.
