talking about it. And this week and this weekend obviously
we have a lot of talking about the Spurs coming
(00:53):
up with the Mizzy's and tournament, a lot of football,
a lot of college ball, and it's so far it's become.
And I will say this again, the number one local
radio show on the weekends in San Antonio.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
And the Dallas Cowboys won last week, didn't they? Because
they didn't play? Well, that's always a win.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I enjoy. I enjoy sundays they don't play. To be honest,
all right, all right?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Two ten seven three six nine seven six sees our
number five things according to Golf Magazine that they listed
as these are errors that golfers make more than any other.
Number one, as we just chatted briefly with Bobby Steiner
up at Horseshoe Bay, taking your practice swings too close
to the ball. This makes you have somewhat of a
cramped swing, which may carry over into your real swing,
(01:33):
restricting with and rhythm. How to fix it Stand about
a foot or two away from the ball as you
practice your swing, which will help you mentally as you
go into your actual swing motion hitting the ball. Mistake
Number two is setting your feet first. This can lead
to improper posture and inconsistent distance from the ball and
awkward balance. To fix this, place your club hand behind
(01:57):
the ball first. Then take your grip and posture nat
setting your feet last. This helps you set up your
swing motion naturally instead of reaching out too far. Number
three holding the club too lightly. Now I've been guilty
of this myself. As I'm addressing the ball, I have
a firm grip, and as I've come through the ball,
I've kind of lightened my grip, which causes me to
(02:17):
lose distance. And I've done that several times, far too
many that I care to mention, far too many that
I could have counted. But every time now that I
go out and play, I make sure that I maintain
my firm grip all the way through, giving myself a
chance to hit the ball as far away as I
possibly can. Maintain a firm but relaxed grip, which will
help you hit the ball all the way through it
(02:38):
the way that you were meant to hit it. Number
four keeping the trail arm too close to the body.
So as a right handed golfer, you're standing there with
your left arms straight down holding on to the club,
your right arm tucked in, You're right elbow tucked in
a little bit. But if you have a two clothes
it's going to restrict freedom preventing a proper release and
(02:58):
limits your speed. The fix let your trail arm float
naturally away from your body as you swing. This will
promote with power and give a free or more dynamic motion.
Add miss signa number for five. Hitting the ground with
your driver during your practice swings. That's never a good thing.
The driver is meant to hit the ball in the upswing.
(03:19):
Hitting the ground first prevents that from happening. The fix.
Practice your golf swing with your driver missing the ground, slightly,
lighting the club, sweep through it at its low point
just before making him back on the upswing. All right.
Tiger Woods turns fifty years old next month. He's been
approached about playing on the senior tour on the Champions Tour.
(03:39):
Jim Furick is the latest PGA Tour Champion member to
make the pitch to Tiger. According to Golf Magazine, he says,
the first thing I'd say is you've got to dip
the toe in the water. So, he says, I still
wanted to play on the PGA Tour. I still thought
I had a little left the first full year where
I could play either tour, either the regular PGA Tour
(04:01):
or the Champions He says that this is Jim Furick talking.
I played seven PGA Tour events and fifteen Champions Tour events.
Then every year I went to three PGA Tour events,
and then I went to one, and then I went, yeah,
it's kind of time for me to move on. I think,
just dip a toe in the water, sea how it feels,
and then take it from there. Tiger didn't play on
the PGA Tour this season due to several ailments, including
(04:24):
surgery to repair a ruptured achilles tendon in March. In September,
Tiger said he'd undergone a disc replacement surgery on his back,
and I then when Tiger does make the decision to
play on the Champions Tour, that's going to give a
huge booth boost to the Champion Store, probably the biggest
impact ever on the senior tour in my opinion. Another
story that came out this week in Golf Magazine. It's
(04:46):
Kevin Chappell's decision to retire from the tour. Now. Chapel
is only thirty nine years old. He's playing at more
than three hundred PGA Tour events. His best seasons were
from twenty thirteen to twenty seventeen, during which he won
only tour event right here in San Antonio at the
Valero Texas Open. Now, even though he's got that one win,
(05:07):
he's won more than seventeen million dollars. How about that.
In twenty eighteen he underwent back surgery never quite returned
to play at the level that he was accustomed to playing.
In the ninety starts he made after back surgery, he
never recorded a top ten finish. In April of this year,
he teamed up with Tom Hogy, and that duo teamed
up against Roy McElroy and Shane Lowry at the Zurich
(05:29):
Open in New Orleans. Now Chapel watching Rory and Shane
play made him think about the amount of work it
would take to get back to that level of being
able to compete not just against those two great players,
but the rest of the great players on the entire tour.
He's decided to retire, but again, having made seventeen million dollars,
I don't think he's got too much to worry about.
(05:49):
I think he's going to be okay. Kevin Chappell retiring
at the age of thirty nine. Again, if you or
I were to make that much money. We might take
the same route, or we might still want to work
in I'm sort of investment firm. Who knows. I know
that I haven't won seventeen million dollars. I haven't made
seventeen million dollars. I don't even know if I've made
a million dollars. I'm still working. I love what I do.
(06:11):
I love filling in for Andy on the weekends and
selling advertising for iHeart and yes, doing smooth jets at
one to one point nine HD two, I'm still working.
Everybody asks me, when are you going to retire? Dave.
I'm not going away anytime soon. Not anytime soon. Shane's
stuck with me for at least another year or two
as being Andy's backup. I'm not going anywhere. I'm in
(06:31):
good health, thanks to the good Lord up above. I'm
going to continue doing this as long as I possibly can.
And yes, maybe one day I'll win a jackpot. Who knows.
Maybe tonight, if I remember to buy a ticket, I
might win the lotto. Who knows. Shane, if that happens,
I'm giving you quite a bit of money, so you
might be able to walk away if you choose to.
I'll just do that all right, we're going to be
(06:52):
having Bruce Berger from the Quarry on next
