Okay, I just had to go out today and see how Bobby’s advice could help me. It is always fun to play hooky from work and hit the links. Of course, nothing against what Bobby says about improving the short game, although it is often the nut behind the wheel (me) that determines success. Here is what happened today.
Here is where I posted the video in case you haven’t seen it yet:
All I’m saying is that Bobby’s execution is much better than mine. The tip that I would add is: A steep backswing and a steep chip put MUCH MORE IMPORTANCE ON HITTING THE BALL FIRST! My tendency to hit the ground first, way too often, makes a bad chip into a disaster. Just a thought.
Bobby is such a cool guy. He is also very observant and offers simple advice to get better. I love this short video because he shows me why I skull my short shots and how to fix it. Thanks, Bobby!

Eve and I love to get out on holidays (or anytime, for that matter) and get in 18 holes once the prices go down for the summer. Memorial Day was a great day, because rates were low ($29 per person with cart, I think) and because the weather was still very nice. The course we played is known for being more of a challenge than usual. On top of that, I wanted to be especially sure that I recorded all my strokes so I can prepare for (finally) getting my official handicap. This is one of the perks for being a brand new member of the Arizona Golf Association.
Anyway, just for fun, here is the course that we played, called Superstition Springs Golf Club, in Mesa, AZ:
Does anyone else do like I do andTHINK that I am better than I really am? I think I play to a handicap of 20-22. However, take a look at this score and see how I have been deluding myself.
Joint pain relief is one of the biggest challenges for people who have arthritis or aching joints. Side effects of prescription drugs have proven to be so dangerous that some drugs have even been withdrawn from the market. Natural pain relievers, however, offer arthritis pain relief that is comparable to that of drugs, with the advantage of having little or no negative side effects.
Research in Complementary and Alternative Medicine
The national medical database in complementary and alternative medicine at PubMed (U.S. National Institutes of Health) lists more than 6,000 research articles on arthritis. Hundreds of herbs worldwide have been discovered to relieve the pain of inflammation. Very few of these, however, have yet to become available to the public. Some of the more widely known anti-inflammatory herbs that are generally available as supplements include turmeric (Curcuma longa) and ginger (Zingiber officinale), both of which are in the ginger family, Indian frankincense (Boswellia serrata), Devil’s claw (Harpagophytum procumbens), and white willow (Salix alba). The best one, however, continues to be under the radar – i.e., the creosote bush (Larrea tridentata). Research over the past few decades shows that the antioxidant-rich leaf resin of this plant contains unique ingredients that inhibit enzymes in the inflammatory pathway that causes pain.
Mother Nature’s Pain Reliever
I have to admit my bias in favor of the creosote bush. I have been doing research on the natural products chemistry of this species for more than 35 years, first as a graduate student and then as a professor. My interest began when I had a conversation with an old rancher in Arizona who told me that the creosote bush was the best herb he ever found for treating his horses for joint pain. All he had to do was make a poultice from leaves and young stems, strap it directly onto the inflamed joint, and watch the inflammation go down. Since then I have come to admire the creosote bush’s rich folk medical history among native people in the deserts of the U.S. southwest and adjacent Mexico. Folk medical uses of the creosote bush have paved the way for modern research. Scientific studies confirm what non-scientists have known for centuries. Unique ingredients of the creosote bush bolster this plant’s anti-inflammatory power and ability to relieve pain.
How to Use the Creosote Bush for Pain Relief
The simplest method is to apply an old-fashioned poultice. Warm and moisten a handful of leaves and young stems, then put them directly onto the painful joint. Hold the whole thing in place with a bandage. Change every 12 hours. This technique, of course, requires that you have a source of fresh creosote bush leaves. If you live in the southwestern U.S., the plant will be easy to find, because it is the most common shrub in the three main deserts of west Texas/New Mexico (Chihuahuan Desert), Arizona (Sonoran Desert), and California (Mojave Desert). A more practical method for people who do not live in the native habitat of the creosote bush, and even for most people who do, is to use a preparation that is already designed for topical use. This kind of preparation may be a little difficult to find, since most health stores do not carry it. Nevertheless, a quick internet search should yield some good possibilities.
Who is Using Creosote Bush Now?
At the moment, topical preparations have become especially popular among golfers who suffer hand or elbow pain. In my own experience, the slight pain that I used to have in my left hand was a distraction for me when I played golf. Application of a creosote bush spray preparation directly onto the painful joint eliminated that distraction (and took away a great excuse for a bad shot!). A handful of professional athletes in baseball, football, and basketball have also benefited from creosote bush treatments of sore ankles, knees, elbows, and shoulders. This herb will certainly become more popular for treating joint pain as successful stories such as these become better known.

Golf exercises become more important as your game changes. Your swing depends on balance and stability. The best golf workout must include exercises to improve them.
This is a pretty infamous golf swing by now. It is by a former professional basketball player who is incapable of executing even a half-way decent golf swing. Charles Barkley is obviously a well-coordinated athlete. The point that I want to make is that his swing flaws are entirely based on his mindset. If this doesn’t tell you how important it is for getting your mental game in shape, nothing else will.
Charles Barkley Golf Swing
No other golf swing instruction can ever be of any impact whatsoever until you understand the importance of your mind when you play this wonderful game. In my opinion, every golfer could probably benefit from a little high-powered autosuggestion through hypnosis. Especially Mr. Barkley.
What I mean by this is that whatever you can do to eliminate flaws will get closer to the perfect golf swing. The No Backswing Golf Swing does just that. Take a look at my home movie. If you are at all like me, you will see how neat this little trick is for your own golf game.
