Port of Everett Is Not a Driving Range People!

Geez friggin golfer, way to go. Finally the Port of Everett can justify their $2.3 million Department of Home Land Security grants.The video surveillance cameras originally installed to stop potential terrorist attacks following 9-11, have now been swung around to point directly at the residential neighborhood of Everett. Reason? Someone has been using the port’s Pacific Terminal as a driving range and they aren’t happy about it. Yes, golf balls have been raining down on the terminal over the past couple of months, endangering workers and damaging equipment and cargo. The authorities suspect the avid and possibly lazy golfer is teeing off from Rucker Hill and whacking balls onto the port property for some practice.They are hoping the cameras will hunt the  friggin golfer down before he gets more accurate. No point asking the locals, they hate the port too.Fore!

Psst Hmm, could it be an Al Qaeda cell messing with ya?

Good Reason to Give Up Golf

You are 62 years of age, never played golf before, take eight half lessons, tee up for very first shot on a course, no practice swing, hit the ball and watch it roll into the friggin hole. After achieving what golfers only dream of, a hole in one, Unni Haskell told the St Petersburg Times “I didn’t know it was that big of a deal I thought all golfers do this.” Hmm, well at least her teaching pro had the last laugh “Unni, here’s the problem: There’s nowhere to go from here but down.”

Play Golf Like A Squirrel

Psychologists at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, renowned as the home of golf,  believe they have discovered the holy grail of golf. Don’t think.

Hmm, most golf coaches have known that one for ever. The problem is how does one stop a person thinking? The University of St Andrews believe just talking about your game in between playing shots can effect your skills and score. The medical mumbo jumbo is called ‘verbal overshadowing’ which makes the brain switch focus from the cerebral systems (skill related) to language related part of the brain.

I say phooey, if you want to really know the key to playing great golf you need to act like a squirrel. Squirrels, surprise, surprise, don’t think. It is the reason they are able to scurry across a thin wire and not fall off. Us humans, we think,  process and analyze. If we were told to walk a thin wire like a squirrel, we couldn’t, mainly because our brain would be working overtime analysing the situation. Our brain would be thinking , crap that’s too high, the friggin wires too thin, I will die doing it, isn’t there an easier alternative, blah, blah, blah. A squirrel however is denied the complex assessment of information and has no ability to reason. It simply processes, acts and executes.

So next time you pick up your clubs find your inner squirrel and just go for it. Oh and if you want a really cool assessment of your golf  by a world  leading golf coach check out this site Free Golf Lesson Online.
