Before I get to Sensei Mark Anthoneys question this edition, I want to bring something to your attention. In our everday lives all the time we see items offered for free. Buy this and get this item free. Register for free gift. Everyone offers us free gifts. This has become so common that we take it in stride, and usually look over it, because alot of the times, it really isn\'t free, and if it is, it is of little or no value. We have been tricked so many times, when a real value or treasure comes along, we overlook it.

What am I getting too? Well, everyone that is a subscriber to this site has gotten or is in the process of receiving the free book I am offering The 8 Steps To Golf, by Joe Novak. This book was published in 1939, and is a true golf classic. It is full of helpful information and advice. But, because it is free, I am afraid that many of you have overlooked it and have not taken advantage of this free product.

I did have the book summarized (by a lady that is a former golf pro)so it would not take you so long to read it; very little of the valuable information has been removed. This book is not just something that I added so that I could offer you something free. It is a great piece of work.

Regularly I get an email from someone that tells me how much this book has helped them, and they would like for me to sell it in hard print so they could have their own copy. They tell me it has been a great help to improve their golf score. I will probably remove the free offer from the website, and offer it in hard copy in the near future.

But my point is; This is The No B.S. Golf Newsletter. I do not intend to offer any Bull on this site. All of my products are proven products, and can help you improve your game. I get calls from people that purchase my products, and they tell me how much these products have helped them. Sometimes I rate these products, and I will do so in this newsletter soon. But all of the products I offer on www.thinkandreachpar.com are no-fluff products.

Anyway, to make a short story long, the whole purpose of the above comments is to prepare you for this email that I received this morning. I am proud of this email, because this gentleman took a product that I offered for free, studied it, and then put it into practice. He has had much success with The 8 Steps to Golf.

Vivek Kirshan from India, I congratulate you and salute you, you have done an outstanding job and I wish you continued success. Here is Vivek\'s email to me.

Now this weeks question from Sensei Mark Anthony.
Reggie...
You asked:

Are you aware of any literature which relates to proper club selection
relative to distance and/or environmental conditions? I would appreciate any
assistance you can provide.

Thanking you in advance.

Reggie Southard

I believe that you\'re referring to wind and wet so here goes...
In selecting a club in wet conditions, be aware that whether you know it or not, you\'ll sink into the ground more than on a dry day. Make sure that with your irons, You choke down (shorten the club by gripping further down the shaft than usual) a minimum of 1/2 inch to make up for this. If you don\'t, you\'ll hit \"fat shots\" i.e. the turf before the ball, more often than not.

In addition, place the ball in the center of your stance with all of your irons. Doing this helps you hit a crisper, cleaner shot for two reasons.

1. When the ball is placed in the center of the stance, it puts the ball in the place where you\'re most likely to make contact with it without having to adjust your swing.

2. The center of the stance is the place in which your club head is at its peak speed and most likely to be square.

Now because you have shortened you club, you may have to take one more club than usual to hit the ball as far as you\'re used to.

In Wind...
In the wind you must remember that any type of curve you may put on the ball WILL be amplified. It doesn\'t matter whether you hook or slice. If its windy, the curve will intensify.

Here\'s what you might want to try. Its almost the same advice as the last section so pay attention.

1. In a strong headwind, tee the ball low in the center of your stance and swing with a 3/4 swing. Take more club than usual if you\'re selecting a specific target like a par three, etc.

2. Swing easy. If you swing hard, you\'ll put more spin on the ball and if it happens to be a hook, draw, slice or fade, it will curve more than usual. You want to hit the ball under the wind and caution means the better part of valor here. You\'re looking to score not impress.

3. To hit a lower shot, swing with a flatter swing through and roll your hands over so that your right hand is in a \"handshake\" position with the thumb up through the ball as opposed to a \"hitchhiker\" position where the thumb would be out through impact.


Try those things Reggie and get back to me..
Thanks
Sensei Mark
