MEETUP Info
We have set up a Meetup.com site for
the chapter. We are planning on using
the site for notifications of monthly meetings,
social events and golf outings for
this year. The site can be found at
meetup.com/asgacincinnati. You will continue
to receive emails notifying you of
events, but only if you sign up.
Please sign up as this will be the only
method of communication for this year.
You must create a MEETUP logon. Then
make sure you go to the asgacincinnati
site and actually click the JOIN US button.
Just because you have a MEETUP logon
doesn’t mean you are member of the
group.

Golf Tip
Debunking Golf Myths
By Jack Moorehouse
Golf is replete with myths. Covering everything
from driving to course management,
these myths are passed down from
father to son, some in the form of golf tips
on swing mechanics, others in the form of
wise advice on how to do things. Unfortunately,
many of these myths are just plain
wrong.

change clubs. The shorter the club, the
farther back we position the ball. But incorrect
ball positioning can create major
problems.
With the ball positioned too far forward,
our shoulders tend to align too far left of
forward. Since your club swings where our
shoulders point, we slice. With the ball
positioned too far back, our shoulders tend
to close, encouraging a push or a hook.
While you should position the ball more
forward for the driver than the pitching
wedge, you should never place the ball
farther back than center for any normal
shot with a level lie, regardless of the club
you’re using.
Remember, for normal shots on level
lies, there are just three basic ball positions;
• Short iron: one inch left of center
• Mid-irons: two inches left of center
• Long irons & woods: three inches left of
center.
In addition, always relate the position of
the ball to your upper body, not your toes.
Using your toes can create the illusion that
the ball is positioned correctly when in fact
it isn’t. For example, if you use your toes
to position the ball with your foot flared out
but then close up your foot, the ball seems
to move forward in your stance, when it
actually hasn’t.
Golf Thoughts
� Why don’t you aim more to the right?
Ben Hogan, to a player asking for advice
on why he always hits his shots to the
left
� I’ve had a good day when I don’t fall out
of the cart. Buddy Hackett
� Golf is like a cat chasing its tail. You’re
never going to catch it. The day you
think you’ve got your game down pat,
something goes awry and you’re back to
square one. That’s the reason why I love
the game so much: the soul-searching
and the never-ending search for the perfect
swing. Greg Norman
� Golf rules set the maximum number of
golf clubs in your bag at fourteen
� Consider, if you will, that on a par-72
course you can bogey 17 of the 18 holes
and still break 90. Cliff McAdams
� After you stroke a putt, the only thing
you can do is listen for it to fall in. You’re
not going to gain anything by peeking.
Dr. Cary Middlecoff
� Golf is a game where guts, stick-toitiveness
and blind devotion will always
net you absolutely nothing but an ulcer.
