Golf News
Congratulations to Justin Rose for winning the World Golf Championships last week. With his win, Rose has moved into the top 10 in the world rankings, climbing up to number 7.
A lot of the talk this week has been on Tiger Woods withdrawl from the event. Tiger withdrew on Sunday reporting tightness in his left ankle. Woods is reporting that he got good news from his doctor, and is hopeful he will tee it up at The Bay Hill Invitational next week.
Meanwhile, the tour will move onto the Transitions Championship, in Palm Harbour Florida. Gary Woodland is the defending champion, and has switched coaches since his win last year. He is now being coached by Butch Harmon in an effort to learn how to win majors. He will want to play well in his defence this year, but judging from his comments during his press conference this week, his focus is on Augusta a few weeks from now.

This weeks Golf Tip:
This week’s golf tip is a continuation of last week, and is from Golf Coach Roger Podmore. Here are 2 more tips to help you prepare for an important round of golf:
Learn to minimize damage
Even the best players feel a little nervous and anxious at the start so it's fine to play conservatively. Stick with your favorite club from the tee and avoid the trouble with clever strategy. This doesn't mean that you should try and steer the ball out of trouble. You must learn to commit to each shot and let rip with your own natural swing.
To minimize damage in your round when you're feeling a little uneasy, think of what you are going to do with each shot when you are within ten meters of each shot. Learning to perform well under pressure takes some courage; you ultimately need to trust yourself because you can pull off great shots even when the nerves are tingling.
Enjoy the challenge
I enjoy playing tough, long golf courses and the challenge of playing different creative shots to get my juices flowing. No matter how good a player you become most golf courses will throw surprises at you. Like me just rely on your natural game to see you through. You should strive to hit each shot naturally and freely.
Forget about stress or pressure they are only words, it’s just another game of golf. Only you can make the decision to have a bad day. Only you can make the decision to have pressure or stress in your game.
