I just found out that I have been named as one of Golf Teachers magazine’s Top 100,000 teachers in the United States.

Boy, do I feel great about that!

Circumstances requiring my time and my full attention require me to take a break from weekly posting at this space for a month or so.

Don’t go away just because there’s no new content for you every Monday morning. Just work on what I’ve given you so far. That will be more than enough to keep you busy until I’m back at it.

Play well and have fun.

Everybody is talking about what is wrong with Tiger Woods and what he can do about it. As if they know.

Well, I know. It’s his mind. What he needs to do is purchase a copy of The Golfing Self and follow its program of mental game development.

That will have him back on top in no time.

It will get you on top, too. Get yours at Amazon for only $14.95.

My involvement with this blog has fallen off lately. The reason is that I spent the first five weeks of the year finishing writing my next book, The Golfing Self. That wasn’t much creativity left over for this space.

But last Friday morning, I put a tweak on the one sentence that still wasn’t right, and I’m finished. I made contact with the layout artist and we will get that part of production going later this week. The book is due out in April.

So! Starting tomorrow, you’ll be getting the usual supply of insightful instructional posts that is the backbone of The Recreational Golfer. In addition, this year I want to post short comments when ever it strikes me to, so the blog will be much more active than before.

For long-time readers, who are aware of my medical issues, I want you to know I played nine from the red tees last Friday, and the Friday before that. Everything went well. I hope to playing eighteen from the whites by mid-summer.
