I Strongly Dislike Cold Weather

Another cold, windy day in North Texas. Probably the coldest winter we've had in the last 10. The answer to the weather problem is to make lemonade from the lemons. It's been a perfect time to work out, swing the heavy club and visualize playing. Have you improved during the down time?

Phil surprised me with his victory at Pebble Beach. I didn't think he would win again after last summer. However, he worked hard over the break and has won my respect. Without Tiger in the field his victory is somewhat diminished, but a win is a win.

I am often asked what golf websites I frequent. The Golf Digest, Golf Magazine and Golf Channel sites are good. The instruction parts are good but be careful about trying to put them into your game. At best the instruction is more a band-aid then a cure. However, I find the fitness and health parts to be very helpful. The information is good and you can use the info and get better. The Geoff Mangrum putting website is the best golf site. You can spend weeks on his site.

Don't forget to get your mental game going as well. Dr. Rotella and Dr. Coop are time tested mental game coaches. The guy from Trust It Golf spoke at the NTPGA Annual Meeting on Monday. He had some good information, but I haven't taken the time to check out the website.

Also check out the website Deep, Slow, Easy Breathing. Excellent site with many avenues to explore. The family story is interesting along with the health and well being information.

If you have a favorite website, send an e-mail and let's check it out.

Thanks,
