Tooting my own golf blog horn

Since changing to my own URL and severs from blogger a few months ago, my google page rank was zero. It was at a 5 before I switched. The higher the rank, the better. Google is a 10.

So all the sudden tonight my new site location has gotten a page rank, and bam…it’s a 5 (which is good, very good).

From google: “Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search…”

Google is apparently in the midst of updating page ranks. The Sand Trap was not rated either recently and now also is at a 5. (pat on the back ST)…

Golf Digest has a list of the best and worst golf cities. My town isn’t in either list. They don’t know how good and cheap it is to play here….ssshhhh, don’t tell anyone!


Tiger leads British after round 1

My pick for this year’s British is at -6 (Tiger). He’s in the lead. I just love watching the Open and all the neat shotmaking that is required. I love seeing all the low ground game that we don’t see in the states. I’d like to see more links style golf here…

Head behind the ball

In this week’s Pro Tip we’re working on head position. You want your head just behind the ball as Byron’s head is during his setup in picture #1 below.

During your takeaway and follow through try not to move your head and upper body laterally. See how Byron’s head is still in the same position at the top of his back swing in the pic below.

In the last pic below notice how Byron’s head position is still in the correct place right at impact.

Try to keep your head behind the ball as long as possible. Keeping the proper head position behind the ball will help prevent you from hitting blocks to the right. Your head will naturally move forward when you arrive in your finish position.

You can get a great virtual and real tour of St. Andrews on the Open Championship’s official site.
They have a flash version which is nice and within the same window is the actual video flyby of each hole. Very cool. Perhaps the nicest touch is the hole by hole commentary by Peter Alliss. As a sound engineer by trade, I love the sound of his voice.
