Ever wonder what happened to David Duvall, Chip Beck, Curtis Strange, Hal Sutton, golfers who were hot then not? Breaking The Slump: How Great Players Survived Their Darkest Moments In Golf-And What You Can Learn From Them by Jimmy Roberts, Emmy award winning writer, reporter for ABC, ESPN, and NBC. 

A Golf Book Every Serious Golfer Should Have In His Or Her Library

Have you ever seen a golfer friend/husband/wife discouraged about their game? It happens all the time and here, for the first time ever, is a well written book about understanding some of the worst periods in the careers of some of the most successful golfers to ever play the game–and how they got back on track.

Just when golf courses thought they had a handle on slow play, along comes the UroClub, a rather stupid invention that gives golfers another excuse to hold up play while they strap on a towel, unscrew a cap and stand their looking like a dork. I think I have seen just about everything that calls itself a golf club but this takes the cake. A golf club you pee in? 

I was on the golf course the other day when one of our foursome mentioned this device. We had been having a couple of cold ones and there wasn't a tree in sight, if you know what I mean. So what did we do, you ask? We waited till we could take care of the problem. But we did wonder, would this golf "club" be considered a 15th club in your bag for tournament play? 

Later, I looked it up on the Internet and there it was, the UroClub, a great addition to the golf clubs in your bag and a golf club you can't do without according to their pitch. Just whip this thing out when you have to wiz, arrange the towel and away you go. Gives the word "shank" new meaning.

The company claims that it looks like a "regular" golf club and appears like you are just addressing your ball while you urinate into the shaft of this so-called golf club. Yeah, right! I have seen fat putter grips but fat golf shafts?

Any "golfer" who says this thing looks like a normal golf club ain't much of a golfer and I wouldn't want to be seen on the golf course with one. My buddies wouldn't be able to swing a golf club, they would be laughing too hard. 

The company's video demonstrates the product and you can see for yourself what a joke it is. I would only buy this thing as a gag gift for a golf buddy but after watching the video, their price of $49.95 is a bit much for a golf gag. Personally, I think this is one "golf club" you don't need and golf courses should ban it.

I did check out their website and they have reduced their price to $24.95, I guess sales of this so called golf club lookalike have been "soft".

I tried to buy one so that I could pull it out on the golf course next time I play as a stupid golf gag but their security certificate has expired which means your credit card payment is not secure. But for a good laugh here is their ridiculous video.

I saw this video on Golf Girl's Diary blog and thought it worth sharing. I can't imagine that being a real golf ball and she hits about 6" behind the ball, a chunk is what we call it. There isn't enough alcohol on the planet to make me do this with a real ball.

Aikido was founded by Yoshimitsu Minamoto and is a marshal art handed down from generation to generation. Without going into a lot of boring details about it's history as a marshal art I thought it was the perfect way to describe an "attack" on an individual by the bad foods that will derail any diet.

Watch as Steven Segal demonstrates the art of Aikido and visualize his opponents as not just another kung fu opponent but appearing like the fruit guys of the famous Fruit of the Loom characters.

Instead of grapes and apples as his "enemies," visualize him defending himself against sugar enemies, such as the pie/cake/donut enemy, the candy enemy and the pasta and white bread enemy. Watch as he skillfully diverts them away from his body.

Work out and lose weight at the same time with the Aikido Diet.

Watch as Steven Segal demonstrates the art and visualize his opponents as the "processed sugar" enemies. There's the pie/cake/donut enemy, the candy enemy and the pasta enemy. Watch as he skillfully diverts them away from his body.

As marines are trained in ju jitsu they may find this method more to their liking but anyone can do it.
