Improve Your Golf Fitness To Play Better Golf During Your Round.
All From The Comfort Of Your Home and In Only 30 Minutes A Day.
Click Here:
From: Stephen Ladd – Founder, Renegade Golf Fitness Institute
Are you serious about your golf game? I mean obsessed with crushing your drives, sticking your irons and draining putts? Not to mention becoming top dog in your foursome?
I thought so…
No doubt you’ve noticed the rise in popularity of fitness programs for the top players on all the Tours. Maybe you’ve started a fitness program in hopes of adding more power and distance, but aren’t getting the results you were hoping for . . or even worse, you end up injured and can’t play at all.
There is one primary reason for this, and I’m going to tell you all about it. But first, let me introduce myself.
My name is Stephen Ladd, and my obsession is training golfers as athletes, and developing their bodies to better use their golf skills and play to their peak potential. I have been doing just that for over 16 years… long before the “golf fitness” craze began.
I have been trained and certified through the most prestigious golf fitness organizations in the world, including The Titleist Performance Institute and CHEK Institute.

CUONG TON WINS 4-MAN GOLFWEEK PLAYOFF at THE CHALLENGE GOLF CLUB
Graham, NC
April 3, 2014
Greensboro's Coung Ton shot a 79 in the Golfweek Amateur Golf Tour event at The Challenge Golf Club. It was the best score of the day in the A Flight.
However, Ton was going to have to do some additional work to garner a win, due to the fact that three other golfers in the flight turned in the exact same score. Undaunted, Ton went out for a Sudden-Death shootout with Anthony Powell of Colfax, Chapel Hill's Henry Lister, and Raleigh's Rob Reynolds.
It was going to take a little luck for any of these players to win the playoff, as all four participants in the shoot-out were previous winners "on-Tour". It was Ton who was the beneficiary of the good fortune. On his 2nd playoff hole, his approach was yanked into the woods, but rolled fortuitously onto the green, enabling him to claim the victory.
While scores were close in the Championship Flight, it lacked the drama of a playoff as Sanford's Craig Sturdivant rode a front-side 34 to a 2 shot win over Hope Mills' Chip Collins. His winning score was an even-par 72.
The winning margin was even closer in the B Flight with Raleigh's Richard McMinis enjoying a single shot win over Bob Sheahan of Apex and Greenville's Jimmy Adams - 80 to 81.
Steven Russ of Advance also claimed a one shot flight win in the C Flight with an 93, narrowly edging Greensboro's Ken White. "I pretty much kept my drives in the fairway and only took 31 putts", said Russ in describing his keys to victory.
Fayetteville's Bernard Broadnax made it 2 Tour wins in-a-row, taking the D Flight crown with a 94. Once again the margin of victory was a single stroke - this time over Greensboro's Keith Thomas.
Next stop for the Golfweek Tour is Mill Creek Golf Club in Mebane on May 10. There are spots available in that event.

Rules Review
It has been suggested that there should be a series of Rules scenarios for you to solve. So begins a series of problems titled What's the Score?
Doc Miller has graciously agreed to allow me to share these with you that he has been sending since July 2009.
I will include one each week. You should try to determine the answer based upon your knowledge of the Rules when ever possible and then use your Rule book to confirm.
There will be no trick questions or hidden information.

Jerry’s ball hit rocks inside a water hazard and bounced back into play. He thinks to himself that his ball may be damaged because of its contact with the rock. He marks and lifts the ball to inspect it. He finds no other damage other than brown scuff mark on the ball where it impacted the rock. Choose the correct statement:
A. If Jerry correctly concludes this ball is not unfit for play and replaces it, there is no penalty.
B. If Jerry replaces the ball he incurs a penalty of one stroke.
C. If Jerry cleaned his ball beyond what is necessary to inspect it for damage before replacing, he would be penalized a total of two strokes.
D. If Jerry incorrectly substitutes another ball by placing it on the original spot, he is immediately penalized a total of two strokes or in a match, would lose the hole, but there is no additional penalty under R5-3.
Answer:
B is the correct answer.
Jerry might think his ball is damaged, but he must inform somebody of that thought and what he intends to do in case they want to watch his inspection and perhaps view the ball as well.
[A] is incorrect because the procedure for inspecting a ball for damage (R5-3) is identical to the one for lifting a ball for identification (R12-2). The player must:
1. Announce to his opponent, fellow competitor or marker his intention to lift the ball.
2. Give that person the opportunity to observe the lifting/inspection/replacement.
3. Mark the ball before lifting.
4. The ball must not be cleaned beyond what is necessary to inspect.
5. Replace
Failure to comply with any of 1 thru 4 results in a 1 stroke penalty. Jerry didn’t comply with 1 or 2.
[C] is incorrect because any breach of the procedure is a 1-stroke penalty and other breaches are not accumulative.
[D] is incorrect because the penalty for an improper substitution only applies if the player makes a stroke at the ball. If Jerry realized his mistake before the stroke, he could correct his error under R20-6.
Something to consider:
When lifting a ball because the player is unsure of its identification, meaning it might be his, this procedure should be used even if the ball the player lifts turns out to be a stray ball. When there is doubt as to the identification of your ball—for any ball you lift—you should adhere to the requirements for proper lifting/inspecting/identification.
The reason I emphasize this is because if the ball is your ball in play and you neglected to follow the procedure, you will be penalized one stroke. While you would not be penalized for improper procedure if the ball is deemed a stray ball, why take that chance?

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.
