Golf Tips

Most golfers, men and women alike, tend to hit a slice. The most common cause of a slice is a lack of clubface rotation through the ball at impact. This opening or holding back of the clubface puts a clockwise rotation on the ball and causes the sometimes-dramatic curve to the right. To correct your slice you first must learn to hit the anti-slice (a.k.a. a hook). Feel the toe of the club pass the heel through impact and the ball will move from right to left. An excellent drill to feel this release of the clubhead and your arms is to set up as if the ball were teed up three feet off the ground. Make a few swooshing swings and begin to sense how your right arm crosses over the left naturally. Gradually lower the bottom of the swing until you are making swings at ground height. If you can get this rotational swing to happen through the ball, Kiss Your Slice Goodbye!

Ginn Tribute Names 2008 Honoree

BETH DANIEL NAMED GINN TRIBUTE HOSTED BY ANNIKA 2008 HONOREE

Tournament Host Annika Soranstam names the 1999 LPGA Tour and World Golf Halls of Famer as this year's honoree

MT. PLEASANT, S.C., Thursday, March 20, 2008 - Beth Daniel has been named the Ginn Tribute hosted by Annika 2008 honoree. Daniel, who has had an outstanding 29-year career on the LPGA, is a South Carolina favorite and a graduate from Furman University. She was inducted into the LPGA Tour and World Golf Halls of Fame in 1999. She is a three-time Rolex Player of the Year with 33 LPGA victories and has been named captain of the 2009 U.S. Solheim Cup Team.

"Beth is a remarkable player who has had a very distinguished career," said Annika. "I want to recognize her as this year's tournament honoree because she is from the area and should be praised for her many accomplishments."

In 1979, Daniel jump-started her career by posting16 top-10 finishes, including one win, en route to LPGA Rookie of the Year honors. Her one major championship victory came at the 1990 Mazda LPGA Championship, which was one of seven wins that season, for which she was named the 1990 Rolex Player of the Year and Vare Trophy winner. Daniel has earned more than $8.7 million in career earnings, placing her seventh on the LPGA all-time career earnings list. Daniel served as assistant captain of the 2007 U.S. Solheim Cup Team and has played on eight Solheim Cup teams. Playing a very limited schedule, Daniel now commentates for the Golf Channel. The $2.6 million Ginn Tribute hosted by ANNIKA will be played for the second-consecutive year at RiverTowne Country Club in Charleston, S.C., May 26-June 1, 2008. The 2007 Ginn Tribute hosted by A NNIKA saw Nicole Castrale earn her first LPGA title. For more visit www.ginntribute.com .
