The Tour doesn't appear to want to sit still, which I applaud. Golfers will be debating the new mega-championship proposal commissioner Tim Finchem announced yesterday.
Many golfers, no matter what ability level, will be thinking next year, next season. for changes they want to make in their game. This program from one of our blog sponsors Is worth looking at.

Last week, I gave blood, took part in the Terry Fox Run raising money for cancer research, and also the Rock for Relief fundraiser by the Canadian Red Cross/92 Citi Fm and Two Small Guys with Big Hearts Trucking raising money for Hurricane Katrina relief. A couple of quarters for a panhandler, a few more bucks here and there for other causes that approached, and lot of thinking about making a difference. Who is this masked man, others asked? The World's Rearranger (thank you Robert Plant)
A funeral for a fine young man, Dustin Hickie, 16, a close friend of my daughter, touched me deeply. Why is the answer to cancer's ravages still so elusive? There is so much more I can do in my life on earth to help others, even a bit, and I knew my effort had been weak at best so far.
So I gave myself a kick in the pants with the help of Dustin and my friend Del and my father and others who have gone before. But it still begs the questions, why does it often take someone leaving this world to get us to act? Why are we so insulated? How can we, as individuals, act against the pain and suffering, hunger and illness without turning ourselves inside out again and again with feelings of hopelessness and helplessness? How can we stop the tears for a while and see the lights of hope again?
The opportunities to to make a difference will appear, if we keep our eyes and ears open and we find out what touches us personally. What brings tears to our eyes and sobs to our chest? Or just get involved. What is the first thing we think of in the morning...the last thing at night. Your passion for these things will keep you coming back.
It took the death of a young man I didn't know well, but I liked, far too early in life, to give me better focus. Other events had hurt but did not have that effect. In this way he lives on with me and my daughter. You will find inspiration in your life to make a difference if you look.
I can do more! I hope you can to.
]]>I may have mentioned this previously but I just received a note from Jack Moorehouse, who has a best selling golf ebook, "How to Break 80...And Shoot Like the Pros." He says the price will go up soon, but in the meantime you can get a special bonus that seems right on target for most of us and appropriate to what I said early about a practice system: "25 Lessons To Improve Your Game Immediately' plus more. The book also has got a 90 day guarantee he says. (We are a marketing partner of Jack's just so it's clear). Click here to see the How to Break 80 book offer .
As I said before, my advice is to find a system or method and/or teacher that you will trust fully to get your game to the next level. What books, teachers or teaching methods have you found useful in the past? Let us know in the comments.

Younger Next Year
I represent the College Prospects organization (http://www.cpoa.com), have for over 13 years, and they have forwarded some questions that they find most student-athletes and parents can't really answer properly.
_________________________________
What is your recruiting IQ?
Are you on the recruiting lists of college coaches? Even if you are, where do you rate? Are you the #1 choice? #10? #25?
What is an EFC; what does it mean to your family and how do coaches use that information to determine how much financial aid the student-athlete may receive?
Division III schools can't give athletic scholarships. How, then, are athletes attending these schools and playing sports at greatly reduced costs?
Do you understand the seven steps of the Recruiting Funnel and the role of the student-athlete?
What are the two main reasons why talented student-athletes are not recruited?
_______________________________________________________________
Understand: If you're not receiving multiple phone calls from college coaches March or May (depending on your sport) of your Junior year, you run the risk of not being recruited.
The journey to being seriously recruited by college coaches starts here. For nearly 20 years, College Prospects of America has helped thousands of talented student-athletes from all over the world receive scholarship and financial aid monies from coaches who, in many cases, had no idea these athletes existed. Thousands of superior athletes have been and will continue to be overlooked because parents and students do not act proactively to ensure that coaches know about them.
To get answers to the questions please visit the main College Prospects website , then go to their video presentations you can view on site, or contact me directly:
