The Major Cause of Slicing - Jack Kuykendall

The major culprit of slicing is the rotation of your lower body at the start of the downswing. If the right shoulder moves with the right hip, it causes the clubhead to go outside the downswing plane. Start the downswing with your arms moving backward and downward. Keep your back to the target until the arms rotate and keep your clubhead behind your back as long as you can. When your hands reach waist-high during the downswing, make a tossing motion. Your slice will be gone.

Clankazoid keeps reminding me to pay homage to Duchamp

Old Marcel used to find things and then make them into art. "Art"? There are even places to go to see these things. Actually those places are now full of things that some people - called 'artists' - have actually made to be looked in those places or sometimes out of doors or even in-doors.

I have attempted to follow in the foot steps of Marcel, or more correctly R. Mutt, and here is what I have come up with. Notice the subtle differences in coloring. I like 'em in pairs!

Ha! Readymade indeed! As the book says, just something to force you to contemplate aesthetic questions. What is the question? Perhaps Riggs has an idea.

New Year in Akazawa

New Year again in Akazawa. Every January First it is the ritual of pounding boiled rice to make the "mochi". This year the management office had procured a stone cauldron to do the pounding in. Mr Hoshi, laughing behind me, arranged for me to be the last one to do the pounding. I am holding up the mallet so Anton could get a good photo of me in my "happi" coat.
Later in the afternoon Anton and I went to the local shrine to pray for a good golf score and all kinds of other important things for 2007, bought some groceries and headed back up the hill to watch some rented DVDs.
