Too many times when I am out on the course or giving a clinic regarding chipping, I see very simple mistakes by the average golfer that can easily be corrected. These small changes in your approach to chipping will not only improve your consistency around the greens but will lower your scores.Tip # 1: Eliminate Wrist Action Eliminate your wrist action in your chipping stroke. By eliminating your wrist action two things become more controlled. First of all, it will be easier to maintain a consistent loft on your club through impact which will result in more consistent shots. Also, you will notice by eliminating your wrist action that your ball contact will become much more solid. Drill---To reinforce the proper movement in your chipping stroke imagine the back of your glove hand is always fi nishing toward your target. You will notice that if you break your wrists this becomes virtually impossible to do.Tip #2: Use Different Clubs When you are practicing around the perimeter of the green, try using different clubs. Many times I see players who limit themselves to one or two clubs to hit all of their shots around the greens. The idea behind chipping is to get the ball on the green as soon as possible to get it rolling like a putt. By using different clubs with different lofts,

Golf Tip Of The Month “Chipping”By Kyle O’Brien

you will fi nd it much easier to control these shots.Tip #3: Rhythm Rhythm is essential in any golf shot you will hit. When a golf professional tells you about producing consistency in your golf game, he/she will usually relate this back to your rhythm and tempo. In regards to chipping try this. Always try to take the club the same distance back and the same distance through. The more you produce this motion in your chipping stroke, the more consistency you will gain. Drill---As you work on your chipping here is an old drill that I have found very effective. Think of your chipping stroke as the pendulum motion of a grandfather clock. I call this drill “Tick/Tock.” Trying to maintain this pendulum motion is essential. Therefore, on your back swing think “Tick” and on your down swing think “Tock.”

Homeowner’s Guide to Dealing with Service Companies

Submitted by Kat Brogden Oftentimes homeowners are forced to request service for problems which they have little understanding, i.e. Air Conditioning, Plumbing, Electricity or Appliances. Due to this lack of understanding, the homeowner attempts to obtain assurance by establishing a maximum price for service over the telephone. This approach could actually lead to more expense for the homeowner over the long run. Here are some points to consider.1. If you don’t understand how something should work it is highly

unlikely that you will adequately describe the scope of the problem to the service company to cover all possible issues.

2. Most reputable service companies have the homeowner’s best interest at heart and would not risk their business’ reputation to secure a repair job.

3. Not all repair components are of the same quality. Seeking defi nitive pricing prior to a qualifi ed assessment may lead to a “patch job” instead of a repair to satisfy price quotes.

4. Generally, the individual overseeing the phone is not a qualifi ed repair technician. Attempting to confi rm defi nitive pricing from the scheduling employees may be no more productive then asking your neighbor.

5. Be involved with your service technician. Reputable technicians want you to understand and appreciate their expertise. Ask questions, explore options and make an informed decision.

6. Make sure there is an employment contract between the technician and the company. Many companies use sub-contractors, which potentially compromise your rights and their obligations for liability.

7. Remember, it is not the technician’s fault that you have to repair or replace a product. Don’t shoot the messenger!

8. Make sure you understand warranties and representation. Reputable companies are upfront, thorough, and willing to provide written support of warranties. Ask about ”hidden” preventative maintenance required to preserve warranties

9. Remember, most reputable companies will work to satisfy customers. Stuff happens! Work with companies to resolve issues.

10. It is generally a safe bet that you get what you pay for. There is a reason for discounted services as all companies intend to make a profi t for their services.

AUSTIN – In mid-December 2006, LCRA Meteorologist Bob Rose stood at what would have been the swim area at Bob Wentz Park at Windy Point. He was looking out to Lake Travis, which was more than 37 feet below full elevation, following a two-year drought. “The question people kept asking me was, ‘When is it going to rain?’” Rose recalled. With good reason. The drought had left Lake Travis and its sister water-supply reservoir, Lake Buchanan, little more than half full. LCRA hydrologists contemplated that, barring the return of rain, drought conditions in the region could soon surpass those of the decade-long Drought of Record of the 1940s and ’50s.

HOW THE DROUGHT WAS WON:LOTS OF RAIN (THOUGH NOT AS EXPECTED)

Submitted by LCRA

Fast forward to early June. The water is now at least 16 feet deep where Rose stood six months earlier. Lakes Travis and Buchanan are virtually full, thanks to the return of rains earlier this year that, through late May, had generated nearly 286 billion gallons of runoff, roughly 44 percent of what the two lakes can hold. And the drought? It’s mentioned in the past

tense, if at all. Rains fell, but not as forecasters had anticipated Rain – lots of it – vanquished the drought and refi lled the lakes, but not in a way that weather forecasters had expected. Most of the benefi cial storms occurred after an “El Niño” weather pattern, which typically results in above-average rainfall for the basin, had come and gone without offering much relief to drought conditions in the Hill Country. In March three waves of storms fi nally targeted the Hill Country, boosting Lake Travis by more than 19 feet. Rains throughout April and early May raised the lake another 4 feet. Then came the storms of May 24-28, which

generated more than 88 billion gallons of runoff, about 95 percent of what lakes Travis and Buchanan collected from the three March storms. The storms topped out Lake Travis and rose Lake Buchanan to less than 2 feet below its full elevation for this time of year. By storing the runoff in Lake Travis until it could be safely released through Mansfi eld Dam, LCRA was able to help keep Lake Austin, Town Lake and the Colorado River downstream below fl ood stage. Drought could recur – but fl ooding a more immediate concern LCRA officials caution that drought conditions, though vanquished, could recur within a year or two. Rose noted that heavy rains and fl oods in June 1997 topped out the lakes, but by 1999 the basin was locked in a drought that lasted through late 2000. But even with a drier La Niña weather pattern settling in later this year, Rose said it’s too early at this point to tell when the basin may be headed back into drought. “June is typically one of our rainier months,” Rose said. “And this year’s tropical storm season, which began June 1, may be very active” – raising the possibility that heavy rains from an active tropical season could generate additional runoff into the already full lakes Travis and Buchanan.
