* The Cure for Too Many Swing Thoughts - Golf Made Simple

 

 

How many swing movements do you need to think about when you swing?   Keep your head down, turn your shoulders, don’t sway back, follow-through … seem to be popular thoughts going through the minds of Golfers   How many thoughts are too many? One swing thought is enough … 2 is too many!   Why are too many thoughts bad for your swing? Your brain is trying to communicate to your body, arms, hands, legs,  feet and everywhere in between … your additional thinking is clogging the lines of communication    What’s the cure? You’ll learn your swing and how to repeat it … if you practice like you play on the golf course   Practice of a Tour Professional Get behind each shot … gather your thoughts on what you want to feel on this next swing   Rehearse the movements that will give you the feeling you want to feel in your next shot   Look at your target … walk to the ball … breathe and swing … then repeat   Practice of a typical Golfer Hit a shot Rake over another ball to hit Hit current ball while correcting previous swing Repeat, repeat, repeat   Hitting ball after ball after ball overloading your head with swing propaganda … isn’t what you want on the golf course   Yet, if you practice this way … that’s who you’ll be on the golf course …  a person overloaded with swing thoughts, doubts and wishing a mulligan was as easy as another range ball   Your game on the golf course will reflect how you practice when you’re not on  the golf course … it truly is as simple as that statement

The Power of Words…

My tongue can cause death or life

Bitterness, anger and often pain

Can cut through like a sharp knife

O cause me to stop… pray… refrain.

Your words held comfort and healing

They even calmed the stormy sea

May I never be so unfeeling

Or use words that cause hurt and misery.

O tame my tongue, grant discipline

When words of anger suddenly spurt…

Forgive, when I commit a verbal sin

May my words help… instead of hurt.

Too late I learn to say ‘I’m sorry’

Harsh words fall like blackened rain

O use my words for Your sweet glory

Let not my expressions be in vain.

Thank You for the art of expression

Keep me sensitive to those I meet

May my tongue learn the blessed lesson

Of speaking life… not death and defeat.

Hyacinth Santiago

It lies. A man speaks peace to his

Mark Pope Named Head Coach

of Kentucky Men’s Basketball

 

LEXINGTON, Ky. – 04/12/2024

 

When his alma mater came calling,

Mark Pope knew there was no place

Like home.

 

Mark Pope, a captain of the

University of Kentucky’s

1996 National Championship team,

Has returned to Lexington as the

23^rd head coach of Kentucky’s storied

Men’s basketball program,

 

UK Athletics Director

Mitch Barnhart announced Friday.

 

Coach Pope is a nine-year head coaching

Veteran with stops at BYU and

Utah Valley, amassing a 187-108

Career record.

 

His squads won 20 or more games

In six of the last seven seasons and

He has made six postseason appearances.

 

“Mark Pope not only brings an impressive

Record in nine years as a head coach,

But also a love of the University of Kentucky

And a complete understanding of what our

Program means to the people of our state,”

Barnhart said.

 

“As a captain on the ‘96 championship team,

Mark was a beloved and respected teammate.

As a head coach, he is highly regarded nationally

As an innovator.

 

His teams run a unique and dynamic up-tempo

Offense and they get after it on defense.

He is a strong recruiter with international ties

And a person of integrity.

 

“He fully embraces our high expectations and

Standards and I know that as our fans get

Reacquainted with Mark, they will be eager to

Join him on what promises to be an exciting ride.”

Announcing the hiring of

Coach Mark Pope at U.K.

 

I don’t know that you can ever

Describe what it feels like to put

The ‘C’ on a shirt and captain a

Group of guys to a championship,

We’re gonna roll out at Rupp Arena

And we’re gonna have a spotlight

On the banners that represent this

Place. There are very few people

Who can stand on a podium and

Say they were part of that and

They captained the team and now

They’re ready to lead the ship.

 

University of Kentucky

Athletic Director

Mitch Barnhart comments on

The hiring of Coach Mark Pope as

The 23^rd Men’s Basketball coach

At The University of Kentucky

 

It worked out just like I had hoped

All the big “name” coaches turned

U.K. down and the University

Decided to go with one of its own.

As a long time fan of Kentucky

Basketball (our family moved to

The bluegrass state in 1966)

I am super excited what the future

holds for Kentucky basketball!

 

Go Wildcats!!!

"Hail Purdue"

To Your Call Once More We Rally;

Where The Wabash Spreads Its Valley;
Filled With Joy Our Voices Raise.
From The Skies In Swelling Echoes
Come The Cheers That Tell The Tale
Of Your Vict'ries And Your Heroes,
Hail Purdue! We Sing All Hail!

Chorus:

Hail, Hail To Old Purdue!
All Hail To Our Old Gold And Black!
Hail, Hail To Old Purdue!
Our Friendship May She Never Lack.
Ever Grateful, Ever True,
Thus We Raise Our Song Anew
Of The Days We've Spent With You,
All Hail Our Own Purdue!
