WATER FROM THIN AIR BOON FOR GOLF COURSES Water – the lifeblood for us humans and for our beloved golf courses. Water usage on golf courses is a huge issue. If SOURCE Global Senior Director Colid Goddard is able to propel his company’s technology on a grand scale, golf courses will have a never before tapped new source of water . “The air we breathe is full of water,” reports Brian Oaster in Men’s Journal (Feb/Mar’22). “But the air we breathe is full of wa ter. There’s more water in the air than in all of the earth’s rivers combined. If we only could stick a straw in it. One tech start-up has found a way to do that. Sort of.
“In 1999, King was hit by a van, which he later purchased for $1,500 in order to destroy it with a sledgehammer, “ reports PARADE (May 8, ‘22)

Beyond The Course
Water – the lifeblood for us belovedandhumansforourgolfcourses.
Anger is part of golf. Golf allows us to explore this fundamental emotion in a variety of ways. Three-putt from 10 feet – anger! Tee off on a wide fairway and hit the ball O.B. – anger! Miss a 2-foot put for birdie – more anger!
GOLFNEWS senses this is just the beginning of a technology that will become more and more sophisticated. Whether or not it will become a revolutionary breakthrough on a grand scale where golf courses and society as a whole will significantly benefit remains to be seen. Those of us at GOLFNEWS are hopefully optimistic that the proliferation will take place.

EVER FEEL LIKE KILLING YOUR GOLF CLUB!
But one of golf’s great characteristics is learning to deal with one’s anger. Golf gives us a variety of opportunities to “mellow out” – to take a negative situation and deal with it in a construc tive way. Easier said than done.
Borrowing from the benefits of primal therapy, if your golf game has abandoned you, here’s some advice. If you’ve been playing long enough, the abandonment is temporary. However, the anxiety of exactly when your golf game will return can be overwhelming. So, take an old set of clubs (keep your regular set for future use), take a sledgehammer, and beat the shit out of the old set. Vent all that anger. Find joy in the catharsis, as did Stephen King did when he killed his van!
SOURCE Global’s innovative hydopanels suck up water from the air in Saudi Arabia, Western Australia, Warm Springs Reservation in arid central Oregon, and hopefully someday on or near your favorite Coachella Valley golf course. Each 4 X 8 foot panel weighs about 340 pounds dry, but gain weight as they slowly fill with water absorbed from the atmo sphere. A row of fans draw air into each panel, where it is moved through hygroscopic mesh material that separates the water from the oxygen. Solar energy drives the panels’ internal elec tronics; remarkably, sunlight is creating the water. Each panel generates about a gallon and half of water per day, depending on climate conditions. Doesn’t sound like much but if thousands of panels were to be put in place and operative, we’re talking thousands of gallons per day of water being created out of thin air! Millions of panels, then millions of gallons of water. A phe nomenal “new source” of water! Vent your golf anger – do to your clubs what Stephen King did to his van.
Every golfer that has played the game long enough has expe rienced rage on the course. Enough rage where throwing one’s full bag of clubs into the nearby lake was seriously considered. But instead of throwing them in deep blue, you might consider beating the hell out of them. In essence, kill them, as did famed author Stephen King did to his van.

It’s sad that her retired, golf-obsessed neighbors felt the urge to shut her down, prioritizing their hobby over someone else’s livelihood. Here’s an idea though: maybe when someone is teeing off on the eighth hole, just give them a mulligan if their backswing is disrupted by the de lightful squeal of a child playing nearby. It won’t be the end of the world.”
Should children playing in a private home daycare backyard not be allowed because of noise-distraction complaints by golfers?

“I break a putt into thirds and read each segment separately, paying most atten tion to the segment closest to the hole. Why the last third? When the ball slows down, it reacts the most to slope. Also, by reading the green this way, I can see the full picture of the route the ball will take to the hole. I find it’s much more re liable than just picking out a spot on the green where the putt will break. When do that, you often unconsciously cheat your body toward the hole and then your alignment won’t match your read.”

Here again I am unequivocal. The ball must be played somewhere between your heels. You can have it off the left heel, or farther back to ward the middle of your feet if that suits you. Never should the ball be forward off your left heel.… No matter how you stand–open, closed, crouched, upright, or whatever–your eyes must be directly over the ball.” –George Low, considered one of the great est putters of all time, in THE MASTER OF PUTTING: CLASSIC SECRETS OF A PUTTING LEGEND by George Low with Al Barkow. “I think about the golf swing in the morning, I think about the golf swing during the day and I think about the golf swing at night,’ Day said. ‘There’s been conversations at 12 at night with [coach] Chris [Como] just because I have an idea in my head and a certain sensation and a feel.” –Jason Day, former World #1 and winner of 17 professional tournaments including the PGA Championship, commenting on honing his swing since injuring his back and going win-less on Tour for the past four years.

“All Tiger has talked about his whole career is winning majors, right?,” says McIlroy in a recent interview in GOLF. “That’s all that matters. Then you go to his house and you see trophies for [just] the majors, and he said to me, ‘Yeah, I don’t really know where the rest of them are.’ He’s not bull----ing. That was au thentic. That is literally [the truth of it].” Tiger has won 15 major championships. That means there are, at least, 95 additional Tiger victory-trophies that have disap peared. With Tiger’s current injuries, anyone visiting Tiger’s home in the future will predictably see 15 trophies and no more – the chances of Tiger adding to his majors trophy case are close to nil.

Is it equivalent to hitting two aces in one round? Probably not. However, the odds in hitting two home runs in your first major league game are astronomical. It’s only been done once… ever! Of all those thousands that have played in major league base ball, there’s less than 130 players who’ve hit one homerun in their first major league appearance. Fast forward to Brian Serven’s recent amazing accomplishment. Serven, 27, starred at Palm Desert High School and then Arizona State before he was drafted by the Rockies in the fifth round in “More2016 than 22,000 players have appeared in a Major League Baseball game. There are very few men living who can say they accomplished something that no other player in MLB histo ry has,” writes MLB.com’s Manny Randhawa. “Brian Serven launched a pair of two-run homers for his first two career hits to help the Rockies beat the Mets, 11-3.… The Rockies catcher is the only player in history to have multi-run HRs in the same game for his first two career hits. “’He was ready for this,” said manager Bud Black. ‘He played really well at Triple-A. And I think that’s the thing that stands out for me, is that the last couple of years, you could see him surging. And this year, it came together for him.’ “It all came together for Serven Saturday night, too,” Randhawa writes. “With the game tied at 2 in the second inning, Serven dropped the bat head on a hanging slider from Mets starter golfers can afford life’s two loves – their pet and golf.

Primary Sensation Is Swinging Arms And Club Through The Ball With the left side stretched, the left arm pulling and the right side coming naturally into play, your primary sensation becomes swinging your arms and the club through the ball and out down the target line. If you do that, your hands will finish high, your belt buckle (or the equivalent) will wind up facing the target, and your weight will be properly distributed on the outside of your left foot and your right toe.
I know when I want to make a hard swing, I make sure that I remain firm with the left hand and arm. If that breaks down, my tempo and timing are destroyed. The same thought will work for you. If nothing is moving faster than the force that is controlling your swing–your left arm–your tempo and timing will fall nicely into place.

Start Swing With Left Hand, Left Arm, Left Shoulder In Unison
If nothing is moving faster than the force that is controlling your swing–your left arm–your tempo and timing will fall nicely into place.
Al Geiberger, the first player to shoot 59 in an official PGA Tour tournament, compiled 21 PGA and Champions Tour wins. TEMPO, written by Al Geiberger with Larry Dennis, is available from your favorite book outlet.
You are controlling the club with the last three fingers of your left hand; and because you are doing this, your hands will begin to cock naturally as you swing past waist-high.
Pulling Action of Left Side Always In Control
At the same time, the left side is feeling stretched and ex tended. Once you lose that feeling, you have broken down somewhere and immediately will lose power and direction in your swing.
Hands Will Uncock Naturally As you start the forward swing, your hands remain cocked. They will uncock naturally, without your thinking about it, as your arms swing through the shot.
Swinging Success
Swing the club back as far as you can with your left arm and shoulder, but don’t try to get it back any farther by grabbing with the right hand or forcing the right shoulder farther back. At the top of the swing your left hand should feel firm and in control of the club.
Left Side Should Continue To Feel Stretched And Extended
Let me take you through the swing, describing the sequence in which things happen and what you should feel as they happen.
BACK SWING
FORWARD SWING Swing Left Arm Straight Down On Path Which It Came
Left Leg Pulls Back; Right Leg Remains Firm
The club is started back with the left hand, left arm, left shoul der (all instructions are for a right-handed golfer) moving in unison, swinging the clubhead straight back and up. Make no independent manipulation with your hands.
Swing Clubhead Far Back; Left Hand Firm In Control
During the forward swing I have the sensation that my right side is working underneath my left, pushing out on the left side and producing the bowing action of the body. I feel my legs working and the pulling action of my left side, which is always in control. But I do feel that my right side, although relaxed, is pretty active.
Prevent Right-Hand Takeover At The Top Controlling with the left arm from start to finish maintains the unity, the completeness of your swing. It prevents the break downs that cause your swing to speed up, the most common being the takeover of the right hand at the top. When you grab with the right hand, it is going to move faster and cause everything else to do the same.
Control The Swing With Your Left Arm
Your left arm can move only so fast. If you are right-handed, your left hand and arm can’t move as fast as your right hand and arm because it isn’t as strong. Therefore, a conscious effort to control the swing with your left arm will automatically slow your swing down. And the correct use of your legs on the forward swing gives you a much better chance of maintaining control with your left arm.
As your arms swing and your shoulders turn, your left leg is being pulled back and around, and your left heel is lifted off the ground. Your right leg remains firm but flexed, your weight never going to the outside of your right foot.
To start the forward swing, replant the left heel in the same position it was at address. Then, with no feeling of anxiety or hurry, swing the left arm straight down on the path on which it came, keeping your head and upper body in place behind the ball while your legs work underneath you.
Hands And Fingers On Club All The Way Through A good drill to help you finish your swing is to make sure you hang onto the club with your hands all the way through to the end. Don’t let your fingers, especially on the left hand, slip off the club. Just hang on and let your body be pulled around into the correct finish position.

By John Cook How To Break Out of Your COMFORT ZONE You’re out of your comfort zone because now you’ve placed an end result on something that’s not ended yet. GOLFNEWS MAGAZINE: “Comfort zone” is a powerful concept in golf. The goal of amateur golfers is to break out of their comfort zones so they move on to the next level. Does “comfort zone” also apply to PGA and Champions Tour players? JOHN COOK: Oh, absolutely. There are a lot of comfort zones, so to speak, such as are you comfortable in the lead, are you com fortable being in the lead for three rounds, are you comfortable playing different golf courses, are you comfortable being 8 or 9 under par during a round? Each level of golf has a comfort zone; to get better you have to get out of that comfort zone and see how you do on the next zone. GNM: Share a little bit of your sequence of moving from one com fort zone to another. COOK: A tour player knows the different scores he needs to shoot in tournaments to break barriers. When you get to our lev el of play, you don’t start out each round thinking you’re going to shoot 59. You don’t have an exact score in mind. I see a lot of amateurs that have a score set in their minds be fore they tee it up, then after they start playing problems arise. I’ve seen a 12 handicap who all of a sudden has a chance to break par for the first time in his life crumble toward the end of the round. He shot 37 on the front side and makes a birdie on the back side, makes a bunch of pars. He’s on number 15 ready to tee it up and he’s even-par for the day. Now, he’s getting a little anxious. He’s 12 strokes below his handicap. He’s starting to think about what kind of score he’s going to shoot. At that moment, you’re out of your comfort zone because now you’ve placed an end result on something that’s not ended yet. You’re getting ahead of yourself and unnecessarily putting pressure on yourself. At the tour level, it’s the same way. You don’t start out thinking what score to shoot because by doing so, you’ve put an end to a process that hasn’t finalized. GNM: So you virtually never think of a score to shoot? COOK: No, not before I tee off. And even when I’m out on the golf course, you don’t get out there going now I’m 7-under-par, that means I’m going to shoot 65. Seven-under during a round doesn’t mean anything in regards to a guarantee of how you’re going to finish that round. You might shoot 62; you might shoot 70. GNM: So that old golf adage, ‘One shot at a time” is tried and true. COOK: Absolutely. John Cook is the winner of 11 PGA Tour events, including the ’92 & ’97 Bob Hope Classic, and 10 Champions Tour events. His career earnings top $24 million. Cook is on-air analyst for Golf Channel.

VARIOUS
There are several approaches to fixing wayward slices and hooks. Some involve fixing the way our body parts work in the swing. Another exaggerates the opposite: in other words, a slicer should do everything to promote a hook and then fine tune to a draw. Constant tweaking using a launch monitor can also work. All of these have merit and may fit different personality and physical make-ups to solve the problem. “Different strokes for different folks.”
THE ATHLETIC APPROACH - HIT FROM SIDE-HILL LIES
OPPORTUNITY TO FEEL THE DIFFERENCE
This approach does several things: If the club and arms are in the right path, the feedback you receive on balance is invalu able. From a side hill lie it is almost impossible to finish in balance if you are too steep or too shallow. As far as face con tact and squareness, it is virtually impossible to create a proper divot if the face is overly open or closed. Just the feedback from balance and divots lets you feel proper path and face athletically. There are certainly instances where something such as a faulty grip could be the cause of shots that curve excessively; but using the side hills to reshape your swing can be the “feel” approach to improvement. One extra benefit is the experience with side hill lies will help one’s game during normal play. Take advantage of these tilted lies to create a lot of long straight shots this coming season.
Use Side Hills to Correct Slicing and Hooking Feel Approach To Golf Swing Improvement
Take advantage of these tilted lies to create a lot of long straight shots this coming season.
By Fred Elliott
There is one way that is purely athletic and does not seem to have any downsides. This approach is to hit shots from side-hill lies. Using more of your longer clubs (do at times throw in some short iron shots) practice hitting shots where the ball is above your feet to get rid of a slice and, conversely, hit shots with the ball below your feet to eliminate a hook.

Multiple Benefits of Short Game Practice
2. WIN-WIN SITUATION
Not only are you improving your chip shots and putting by practicing your short game (more than you think you should) but you’re also making the foundation stronger for your full swing. You’re achieving two goals at once, a better short game and a stronger more accurate full swing. This will prove to be benefi cial especially when playing on the golf course.
NAMED AFTER A SPACE AGENCY, 23-YR OLD ROCKETS TO LPGA STARDOM There’s a first for everything. Parents have given their offsprings strange names such as Lucifer (24 boys), Riot (46 boys, 16 girls), Capone (6 boys), I-am (21 boys), Paw (16 girls), God (8 boys), Abcde (6 girls) and the list goes on and on [source: HUFFPOST - “The Outrageous Baby Names Picked By Parents in 2017”] . What were these parents thinking when they created these names, God only knows! Meantime, a more sane creative name identifies one of the LPGA Tour’s brightest stars, Nasa Hataoka. The 23 yr-old has launched women’s golf higher and higher. Her future professional greatness was foretold in 2016 when, at age of 17, she won the Japan Women’s Open Championship becoming the first amateur and (continued on page 19) Denny “KOKO” Kovacs proudly displays his hole-in-one ball – his first ace after playing 53,880 holes over 50 years.

“KOKO” KOVACS FINALLY GETS OFF HIS ACE For over 51 years, Denny “Koko” Kovacs played 53,880 holes (he’s kept written track of every hole he’s ever played) and never made a hole-in-one – a void that has haunted him for six decades. His nightmare is over. “I finally got my hole-in-one on our [Big Rock ] par-3 17th hole of 146 yards with a faded 7-iron, witnessed by my daughter and son-in-law and two members of ours who live on the 17th hole,” stated an excited Kovacs. Cynics could say: “It’s about time!” Those less cynical would say: “Congratulations, Denny. You did it! Way to go, bro” One thing you can say for sure: “Denny finally got off his ace!”
Dan Poppers
When you practice your short chip shots and your putting stroke, you’re practicing the base or the foundation of your full swing. The short game swings or strokes are just a smaller scale of your full swing. When you hit a chip shot or stroke the putter, the blade of the golf club is square (or straight) to the hole. The same is true when you make a full swing, the blade of the golf club or the face of the club (like a driver) should be square at impact.

1. GOLF SWING BASE
3. THE EQUALIZER
There will be days on the golf course when we don’t hit the ball very well, whether it’s an iron, driver or hybrid. Not even the Tour pros hit the ball perfect every time. On those days, that’s where your short game can save you and allow you to shoot a good score. It helps you to compensate or equalize your round of Forgolf.example, on those days when your timing is off and you’re not hitting the ball very well, as long as you can get it close to the green on your approach shot (or tee shot on a Par 3) you can rely on your chipping and putting to get it up and down and still save par, and perhaps on occasion chip one in for a birdie! Bottom line, if you want to improve your “score” spend more time than you think you need on the chipping and putting greens. A good short game can save your score when you’re just not hitting it well and a great short game can help you take it low!
TURN YOUR TOES OUT FOR BETTER TURN Key Fundamental That Will Improve Your Game
By Ken Venturi

VENTURI’S VIEW
REMINDER: TOES-IN RESTRICTS TOES-OUT FREEDOM So remember: Toes-in restricts your swing, toes-out gives you the freedom to turn–and to turn on the power! I recommend turning your left toe our at 20 degrees and your right toe 10 to 15 degrees. Ken Venturi, winner of 14 PGA Tour tour naments including the 1964 U.S. Open, is the author (with Don Wade): STROKE SAVERS, available from your favorite bookstore outlet. GOLFNEWS proudly continues to publish Mr. Venturi’s golf insights in his honor.
ToesINCORRECT.squared (a.k.a. toed-in) restricts body movement.
Toes-outCORRECT.allows for greater body movement and provides a solid foundation. The result: more distance! Toes-in restricts your swing, toes-out gives you the freedom to turn–and to turn on the power!
TURN BETTER Many players, particularly when they get older and less limber, have a tough time making a proper turn, and as a result they lose distance. SOLUTION: TOE-OUT One simple solution is to turn or toe-out your feet, with your left foot toed-out slightly more than your right. Too often people confuse the term “square stance” with turning their toes in, so that their feet are a right angles to the target line. This toed-in stance restricts body movement.
SOLID BASE BETTER BALANCE Another benefit to toeing-out your feet is that it gives you a solid base to swing from and will help you keep in balance throughout your swing.

Mickelson has been known to be a gambler but losing $40 million in 4 years, that’s extreme! “Federal auditors investigating Phil Mick elson role in an insider trading scheme found his gambling losses totaled more than $40 from 2010 to 2014, accord ing to an excerpt from Alan Shipnuck’s forthcoming biography,” reported the LA Times. An argument supporting Mick elson’s gambling spree is he’s made from Nasa Hataoka – LPGA superstar named after the U.S. space agency.

• Generally, higher-impact activities have a more pronounced effect on bone rather than lower-impact exer cises. Tennis, volleyball, or running build bone faster than walking or low-impact aerobics.
The bones in your lower body are par ticularly important in maximizing your golf swing. By regularly exercising as noted above, your strong bones in your lower body gives you the foundation for a stronger swing. The plethora of health benefits of a plant-based diet are undeniable.
You’ve heard it time and time again and it’s true, a key benefit of golf is you can play it deep into old age. So, for those of us that love the game and want to play in our 70s, 80s, 90s or longer, it behooves us to realize: What we put in our body increases or decreases are golf lifespan. Plant-based diets has reached optimum status for healthy eating. No longer a fad, no longer only for the few; it’s a fact and proven that plant-based diets improve your health and increases longevity. “Plant-based diets reduce mortality from heart disease, cancer, and all causes, according to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, states GOOD MEDICINE (Spring 2022), a publication of The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine. “Researchers compared diet records with mortality rates for 22,421 participants [45–73 years old] from the Malmo Diet and Cancer cohort. Those with particu larly high intakes of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains and reduced intakes of animal products and saturat ed fats lowered their mortality rates for cancer, heart disease, and all causes by 25% when compared with those who did not closely follow a healthy diet.”
“As we age, bone density tends to de crease. But there are multiple ways to help maintain bone density and decrease fracture risk,” Harvard Health Letter reports. “The best way to protect bone health is with regular exercise. When you put force on your bones, it prompts your body to build new bone.
Consistent with the theme we love to play golf, our health and longevity are of utmost importance. Regular exercise (playing golf utilizing a golf cart doesn’t count) has many health advantages, but did you know its positive relationship to bone health and growth?

“Types of exercise in which your carry your own weight, like walking, hiking, or aerobics, are good for keeping the bones in your legs and hips strong. But there are a couple of rules of thumb to remember if you’re aiming for maximum effect on bone and you are able to work out vigorously.”

GNM: Why would the government do this? GR: Because their goals are more short term than long term. Government needs to get re-elected every four years or so; they’ll even do something like I built this and I did that and it doesn’t matter that they actually invented the dollars to do it. And those dollars they invented are going to have ramifications down the road. They don’t care about that. They are very short-termed vision. They are not long-term vision.

WAYS TO FIRE UP YOUR ENERGY” Put pep in your step. Regular, moderate exercise may help boost your strength and stamina. It may also help lower your stress level–a big energy drain. Aim for at least 2.5 hours of moderate-inten sity aerobic exercise per week. Add muscle-strengthening exercises on two or more days per week. 2. Take a power nap. It can help refresh you. But don’t sleep too long or too late in the day because it may be hard to fall asleep later when you want to. 3. Go easy on caffeine. Yes, it makes you feel alert, however, consuming too much too late in the day may keep you up at night. 4. Eat for energy. Choose a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat or fat-free dairy products.
6. Stress less. Too much stress is exhausting. Find time to slow down; enjoy activities that help you recharge. 7. If you smoke, pledge to stop. Smoking steals your breath away and your energy. It’s never too late to quit. 8. Stay social. From volunteer work to group hob bies, exploring your passions in life–with like-minded others–may help keep you energized and engaged.
