MEETUP Info<br />
We have set up a Meetup.com site for<br />
the chapter. We are planning on using<br />
the site for notifications of monthly meetings,<br />
social events and golf outings for<br />
this year. The site can be found at<br />
meetup.com/asgacincinnati. You will continue<br />
to receive emails notifying you of<br />
events, but only if you sign up.<br />
Please sign up as this will be the only<br />
method of communication for this year.<br />

make sure you go to the asgacincinnati<br />
site and actually click the JOIN US button.<br />
Just because you have a MEETUP logon<br />
doesn’t mean you are member of the<br />
group.<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> Tip<br />
Debunking <strong>Golf</strong> Myths<br />
By Jack Moorehouse<br />
<strong>Golf</strong> is replete with myths. Covering everything<br />
from driving to course management,<br />
these myths are passed down from<br />
father to son, some in the form of golf tips<br />
on swing mechanics, others in the form of<br />
wise advice on how to do things. Unfortunately,<br />
many of these myths are just plain<br />
wrong.<br />
Play the ball back with shorter clubs<br />
Most of us vary ball position as we<br />

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