Golf
Golf is a sport in which individual players or teams hit a ball into a hole using various clubs, and also is one of the few ball games that does not use a fixed standard playing area. It is defined in the Rules of Golf as "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules." It is said that the first ever game of golf may have been played at the Bruntsfield Links in 1456, claimed by the history of the Edinburgh Burgess Golfing Society, now The Royal Burgess Golfing Society. Golf, in essentially the form we know today, has been played on Scotland's Musselburgh Links since at least 1672, while variations of the game had been played throughout the British Isles and the Low Countries of northern Europe for several centuries before that.

Best shot in the bag
For me it is setting up to hit a draw. This is my money shot. As a matter of fact I hit the draw better then any other shot in my bag. My set up is simple I play the ball a little more forward in my stance andgle my club face to a closed position (at target) then I simply close my stance to where I want the ball to start prior to the right to left curve. I feel so comfotable in the closed stance and the ball a little forward in my stance...I wonder if this says anything about my swing in general since this feels so much more natural then say setting up for a straight shot?

natural fade but turned to a draw/hook
recently my swing has been all right, not the best. i have a natural fade and sometimes slice the ball off the tee. today i went to the range and for some reason i couldn't hit a slice, but instead were hitting hooks, draws, pushes and pulls. more hooks and draws though. with my irons i was hitting all draws. i heard hooks aren't that hard to fix. now the question is should i be happy that my slice is gone or more worried that now i have to fix this hook?

Anyone ever try the Mizuno MP FLi Hi
I've been trying out various hybrid clubs. I've only been playing a year (although pretty consistently), and can hit my hybrid woods fairly well. Anyway, I've seen the Mizuno MP Fli Hi on their website. They are touted as a replacement for hard to hit long irons. Are they still considered only for low handicappers, or are they an optional long iron replacement for all levels?
Thanks for your help.
Mike H.

Fitting question
I was being fit for some new Pings and kept getting some strange results. I was hitting maroon dot ( 5 up) and the tape on the sole was still hitiing near the toe indicating I needed more upright. Ping does not go more than that. I then started putting tape on the face and when I hit the maroon dot I was hitting the ball near the hosel end of the club face. As I moved more flat to white dot ( 3 up) my sole tape begin to look more off ( more toward the toe again ) but the tape on the face indictaed that I was now hitting the ball more in the center of the clubface.

Gustav and Hannah
Gustav is taking aim for SW La and Hannah for So Fl. Here in lower Al we are having to expect the worst and prepare. Either of these storms could hit us. I'm hoping Gustav stays to the west because it looks like a doozy, though I don't wish any ill will on our La neighbors. Every one stay alert along the coast because they could hit anywhere. With the current track, Hannah could make landfall along the Gulf Coast in the same location as Gustav. :bawling: Hurricane party anyone? :snork:
