YOUR THOUGHTS?
If hybrid golf clubs help to make a difficult game more
manageable for the masses, helping to lower scores, then why
aren't they used more by professionals, who stand to gain even
more from lower scores than we choppers? (See IF YOU BUILD IT,
WILL THEY ALL COME? below.) Any thoughts?

There's little doubt that the increasingly popular hybrid
specie of golf club is the answer to many a golfer's prayers.
These sticks are described in glowing, but not necessarily
exaggerated, terms by their makers. For instance, TaylorMade
describes the company's rac CBG irons as oversized with a
thick top line, wide-soled and significant offset, all of
which go to promote "high launch and maximum forgiveness."
Adams Golf's Idea woods are "part iron and part wood" and
"combine fairway wood distance with the control and accuracy
of an iron. They're longer and easier to hit than traditional
long irons and an incredible 27% more forgiving," as described
on the Adams web site. How can a pro pass up the opportunity
for 27% more forgiveness? Hybrids are showing up some
Champions Tour bags. Will the PGA follow suit?

ACT OUT IMPACT
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
To help lock in the sense of where your body parts should be
at impact, practice taking that position: hips rotated open;
rear foot rolling forward; shoulders square; head behind the
ball. Swing back, then return to the position described above
to find the right groove.

DUI PERP ARRESTED
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In Nevada County, California, a woman driving a golf cart
under the influence slammed into the rear of a car, causing
her passenger to be thrown through the windshield onto the
pavement of Lake Wildwood Drive. Dorothy Charlene Teague, 59,
did not see a Subaru station wagon stopped to make a left turn
at an intersection. She rammed It at close to 30 mph, said
police. Cart passenger Jacque Wilson, 54, was hospitalized
with a possible broken collarbone and pain in her ribs.
Teague, who suffered small scrapes to cheek and leg, was
arrested and released on $25,000 bail.

HENSBY SUFFERS SHORTAGE - OF GOLF BALLS
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Mark Hensby came up short of the golf balls necessary to
finish his first round at the Bay Hills Invitational. When
Thursday's rain-shortened first round resumed for Hensby with
11 holes left to play on Friday, he had only three or four
balls in his bag. That proved not to be enough after giving
one ball away after a double bogey on No. 9, hitting water on
No. 11, and hitting OB on No. 17. It is Hensby's practice to
give his golf ball to kids in the gallery after every three
holes. Since his caddie had not replenished the supply before
the start of play, this largesse proved to be his undoing.
"It was embarrassing," he said.

COLUMN TO READ (ACHENBACH: INNOVATION ALIVE AND WELL IN
GOLF)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
One of our favorite golf writers, Golfweek's James Achenbach,
brought to our attention last week some new and interesting
golf paraphernalia that he says testify to the undying
inclination of entrepreneurs and innovators to get a share of
the golf market. Among the offerings he describes are the
PIPE Putter from Nickent Golf (strange looking, but
effective), the SmartPutter from Lawrence Au of Huntley, Ill.
(change its weight by adding or subtracting nickels), and the
Kool Tee from Extol Inc. of Zeeland, Mich. (for those who
can't bend down to insert or retrieve a tee). Read more about
these and other Achenbach observations at:

FINCHEM: SCHEDULE CHANGES A REAL POSSIBILITY
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said last week that thought
is being given to moving the Tour Championship to September in
order to make the end of the season more compelling. He also
mentioned that a shorter season is one of several models for
schedule change being considered. Driving the need to make
some schedule modification is the revelation by TV networks
that they are losing money on the last four-year contract with
the PGA, which is estimated to be $950 million. Tournaments
in September and October get significant TV coverage
competition from football.

GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
About Ryder Cup team practice procedures:
"Let's get real. The Ryder Cup was set up as a "healthy"
competition between
countries; an effort to foster good will. Of course, the good
will part has been lost in the shuffle, replaced by pride and
ego. Why should anyone care when a competitor feels like he
should practice or who he should practice with, practice being
an effort to make ready for the competition. Unless, the
purpose of that competition has come to the selling of tickets
(money). And even then a competitors practice time should most
definitely be his own.. . . ." Mike
". . . make the entire team practice together. This way Lehman
can see who fits best together. If they don't want to do it
the three days before the cup, then bring the top 15 to 20
guys together several times between now and the event in 2006
to see what will work best. . . . This is a team event so make
these guys act like teammates? Maybe it will change the way
they play together when it counts if they learn to play as a
team." Glen Flanagan

eight-shot victory at the Kraft Nabisco Championship.
= In as close a finish as anyone could ask for, Fred Funk,
after three consecutive bogeys in Tuesday's final round that

missed a twenty-foot birdie putt for the tie.
