Tiger released from hospital

Word is that Tiger Woods accident Friday turned out not to be as bad as first reported. Woods was released from a Florida hospital after suffering facial lacerations.

Apparently Tiger's wife, Elin Nordegren used one of his clubs to smash out the back window of his SUV. She then dragged him to safety after his vehicle crashed into a hydrant, hit a tree and came to stop in a neighbors yard.

It is still unknown why Tiger left his home around 2:30am Friday morning, rumour is he and Elin had a "marital spat". I'm sure more will come to light in the days to come, so stay posted.

Faddy Golf highlighted in Biz X magazine


A few weeks back I posted a picture of me and the boys for Bix Z magazine, where Faddy Golf was nominated for "Outstanding New Business of 2009". Though we weren't the eventual winner, we have received some great exposure through an article and ad in the December issue of Biz X, which is they're biggest issue of the year.

You know to win would have been cherry, but it's better to be nominated and not win then not be nominated at all.

If anyone is interested in the article go to www.bizxmagazine.com, click on the Nov/Dec issue, and the article is on pg. 77-78.

Cheers,

Tips from the Pro: Keep left wrist flat through impact


The most important moment in the golf swing is at impact. Even though alot of great players have individual swings, the impact position is always the same which creates solid contact. The secret is a "flat" left wrist position at impact. This position will compress the ball and utilize the club's true loft.

The thing to remember that with a neutral grip, the back of the left hand represents the club face. So wherever the left hand is facing at impact that's where the ball will go. During practice focus on aiming the back of the left hand at the target, and also keeping it flat at impact. (see picture above) This way you'll trap the ball between the clubface and the turf, keeping the true loft of the club, resulting in a pure, powerful pin seeker time after time.

If you have any questions or comments, hit me back.

Wie/Woods claim victories


Well the long, and sometimes painful wait is finally over for Michelle Wie. Wie claimed her first title today at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Guadalajara, Mexico. In her 66th start on the LPGA tour, Wie birdied the 72nd hole to cliche the victory and the $220,000 first place cheque. Maybe now with the proverbial monkey off her back, Wie can begin to realize all the potential she possesses, I know the LPGA sure hopes so.

Oh, by the way Tiger also happened to win at the JBWere Masters in Melbourne Australia, his first in the country. Tiger shot a final round 68 to beat home town player Greg Chalmers by 2.

If you have any comments on Wie's win or her career to date, fire off a comment.

Cheers,
