I certainly liked the candy, but it never made much sense to me. As a father, I must admit I have warmed to the holiday, but I still have a problem with all the focus on witches and ghouls and such.

Swing Smoothly By Janie Corbett When I get a golf club in my hand, I get that feeling of wanting to knock the cover off the ball. It feels good to put all of my strength into hitting the ball. Just hitting the ball as hard as I can does not mean that I play good golf though. If you just need to relieve a little stress, then swinging with all your strength may accomplish your goals.

Watch The Ball! Janie Corbett This phrase is often repeated in nearly every sport – keep your eye on the ball. It applies to golf too! If you do not watch the ball, then the chance that you will hit it is very slim! Keep your eyes focused on one part of the ball. Don’t watch your club as you swing.
