Justin Rose putting as well as Tiger Woods
Ernie Els paid Justin Rose, who shares the halfway lead in the Nedbank Golf Challenge after a fabulous 65, perhaps the biggest compliment of his career when he compared the Englishmans game to Tiger Woods, writes Grant Winter.

a surprisingly good synopsis of that remarkable weekend  |
|
Having got used to rather disappointing "chuck it together quick and get it on the shelves" videos of sporting occasions (Arsenal season highlights, and the Ryder Cup 97 spring immediately to mind), I was pleasantly surprised by this latest effort. Despite the rather droning American voice on the commentary - oh for Peter Alliss - the coverage of the matches, the crucial moments, and the final stunning start to the singles by Europe, were all well edited. There was a real sense of tension throughout, the stats kept pace with the evolution of the games so you always knew where the key points were, and the climax was given plenty of time to develop, especially that thrilling match between Price and Mickelson. I also smiled wrily at the soundbite of Tiger Woods - is it me or was he only mouthing a platitude that he really didnt seem to take to heart when he spoke of the pride of playing in a team for once? The only downside to the tape was the long drawn-out piece on the golfers wives and their lunch date together. While Mrs Torrance was an engaging, articulate figure, the rest was only fit for the fast-forward button. Seen one American blonde golfing wife, seen em all!

Relive The Ryder Cup  |
|
A fantastic video that relives the whole of the 2002 Ryder Cup. Selected players give thier views about playing in the event and there is also parts that focus in on the wifes and partners of the players. You also get to see some of the up and comming talent in the Junior Ryder Cup and how security had to be planned to avoid events like those that caused the Cup to be delayed.The video displays some of those remarkable shots that won the Ryder Cup and the captains views are also given. This is essential viewing as you can watch the winning putt roll in as many times as you like.

This is the mother of all golf books.  |
|
Search for the Perfect Swing is the most definitive book written on what actually happens when a golf club is put in motion.Read this book and then go into your local golf retail shop or just listen at your favorite local course to the ridiculous explainations and profound words of wisdom people perpetuate about the golf swing and its effects on the golf ball and its intended target.Best fast fact-FYIO-ball and club stay in contact for 1/2millisecond(.0005).HHmmm, that doesnt seem like we can have much effect after impact- FYIO-fact#2-"in any full shot,acceleration through impact is a sure sign of wasted effort which could have been used to produce greater speed at impact if it had been applied earlier."I know my pro told me to accelerate to a full finish.-Honestly, the book is a must for serious golfers or anyone looking to have the golf swing explained without the myths-9 out of 10 golf pros dont recommend this book-I wonder why?
