Spain's Jimenez wins Golf
HK Open
Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez carded a four-under 66 in
the final round to total 14-under 266 to win the Omega
Hong Kong Open, his third victory in Asia this year.
World number six Harrington, who was hoping to become
the first person in 40 years to successfully defend
the title - Taiwan's Hsieh Yung-yo did it in 1964 -
had a birdie putt of 20 feet to force a play-off but
rolled his attempt short in front of a massive
gallery. With Sunday's win, the 40-year-old golfer
recorded a total of five wins this year. Only one
other golfer has done better than him this year -
Fiji's Vijay Singh on the American PGA Tour with nine
victories. Jimenez noted that he is 40, while Singh is
41. So, life does start at 40!
MICKELSON CLAIMS
GRAND SLAM GLORY
Phil Mickelson
confessed he was amazed to join the exclusive '59'
club - the best score in professional stroke play
history - after winning the PGA's Grand Slam of Golf
in Hawaii.
The Masters champion began the day three shots behind
Retief Goosen but stormed to a five-shot victory over
Vijay Singh, the PGA Championship winner, who carded a
second successive 66.
Dodd on top in China
Open
Wales' Stephen Dodd shot a 2-under 70 in cold and
rainy conditions to take a three-stroke lead in the
China Open in Shanghai, China, the first event of the
2005 PGA European Tour schedule.
Playing in rain and gusting wind with a low
temperature of 36 degrees, Dodd had four birdies and
two bogeys to finish the second round at 6-under 138.
He chipped in for a birdie on No. 8 and made a 15-foot
birdie putt on the 15th.
Denmark's Soren Hansen (71), England's Matthew King
(73) and South Korea's Chung Joon (72) were tied for
second in the tournament co-sanctioned by the Asian
Tour.

Here's are the 8
characteristics of champion golfers:
1. Focus and Concentration.
2. Abstract thinking.
3. Emotional Stability.
4. Dominance.
5. Tough-mindedness.
6. Confidence.
7. Self-sufficient.
8. Balanced state (not tense but not completely
relaxed either).
This Week
Emotional Stability
When Bob Murphy changed his emotional response to his
golf game, great things happened. He went on to win
four times in 1995.
Emotions affect our desire to drive for show, putt for
dough,
and hit the best approach shots possible.
Everyone has seen people lose it on the course. Balls,
clubs, golf bags end up in the water. People mangle
their Big Bertha drivers after blowing both another
drive and their cool.
Everything you do on the course is affected by your
emotions.
The best golfers are in control of their emotions.
They don't ignore them. They don't pretend they are
not there.
They acknowledge them and deal with them.
What are some of the factors involved in emotions:
1. Expectations. Tiger Woods does not drive every shot
with perfect accuracy. One of my clients came in all
excited on the day of the British Open after Tiger
lost his ball on the first hole. "Today I played a
shot as well as Tiger."
Do you have realistic expectations on the course? What
is driving those expectations?
2. Perfectionism. Nobody's perfect! If you expect your
golf game to be perfect, you are bound to be
disappointed.
3. Injuries. If you play with an injury, not only will
you stress your body, you may also stress your game.
Take care of your body to play your best golf.
4. Tiredness. Golf is a mind game. You need to
recharge your mental batteries on the links. Take a
break. Smell the breeze.
5. Personal Issues. If there is "stuff" going on in
your life - your job, your home life, etc. Don't be
surprised if it affects your game. Hey, you're human.
The more you deal with the issues, the quicker your
handicap is going to head down.
If you are not managing your emotions and stress, they
are going to manage you.
Only regular work on your emotions is going to produce
the results that you want on the course.
Most of the great golfers have hobbies aside from
golf. Do you?
See you next week.
AH.... SWEET GOLF.......
* There are three ways to improve your golf game:
take lessons, practice constantly --or start
cheating.
* Many a golfer prefers a golf cart to a caddy
because it cannot count, criticize or laugh.
* There's no game like golf: you go out with three
friends, play eighteen holes, and return with three
enemies.

Caddie Selection
The golfer called one of the caddies and said, "I want
a caddy who can count and keep the score. What do 3
and 4 and 5 come to?"
"11 sir" said the caddy.
"Good, you'll do perfectly."
