100 years' golf paradise
100 years' golf paradise-Royal County Down
People often use three "best" to describe this golf course- one of Ireland's oldest golf clubs, one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world, one of the most challenging golf courses.Golf course's construction: The fairwaysurrounded by heather and broom tosses and turnes under the huge sand .Delicate greens surrounded by overgrown bunker.With the beautiful scenery,playing golf is even more thrilling.
Latest News: Recently, under the guidance of DonaldSteel,a significant transformation is on this golf course in order to make the fairway in front of sand dunes is relatively flat, and in the a pair of broom and the European fern have built several very attractive holes, of which one or two are still very difficult to deal with.

Tiger is a popular topic
The Tavistock Cup ended on Monday without Tiger Woods for the first time since the inaugural tournament of the organization in 2004. But the dominant theme among the players at Golf & Country Club -besides 25 mph winds - was the world No. 1 player.
Woods, however, spent most of last week on practice and play at Isleworth with John Cook and Arjun Atwal."He's hitting it longer than before," Atwal said. "But he feels he's not totally ready."
The question of how Woods will fare at the Masters,where he'll do in his return to golf early next month, Cook said " From what I've seen in the last three days ... striking the ball first.
"I don't see anybody hit the ball like he does. If he takes that game up there, that's vintage. I don't see anybody beating him."
However, the golf (TaylorMade Burner Superfast Driver) is the easiest thing for Woods. Woods admitted in an ESPN interview - conducted an interview with Golf Channel too, that what reactions will be waiting for him when he comes back golf.
"There are going to be a lot of distractions," Henrik Stenson said. "But if anybody can handle it, he can."
At present, however, this is one step after another. As Caddy said,it can not be changed within 45 days. It takes time, and this is only the beginning for woods.
"Tiger made a mistake and bring many problem to his family,his friends,his colleagues and his fans. Now,he is really under great responsibility" O'Meara said he had seen only snippets of Woods's interview, but he has been exchanging text messages with Woods, and even hopes that Woods will play in the Tavistock Cup.
He said he was not ready, O'Meara said, adding that Woods did not think it would be fair to the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard if he did not played Bay Hill but Isleworth.
O'Meara also said he had been an older brother to Woods for 10 years on the PGA Tour, had not heard from him so much in the last three years.
Those two who are Tiger's Isleworth neighbors haven't spoken in person or by telephone since November 27 incident outside the house Woods, where security is still limited on Monday. On Monday night, in fact, GOLF CHANNE said that Wood spent the day-long practicing at Augusta National.
Moving to us exactly what some players are going to make as sooner or later.
Two other players at nearby Bay Hill, meanwhile, shared similar sentiments. "I want all this to just get over with," added Steve Stricker.On April 8, it will -- sort of. That's when the first round of the Masters begins.

From 1991 to 1993, Woods won the U.S. Junior Amateur three times.In the past time,no one could win with more than one. In 1994, the 18-year-old Tiger Woods became the youngest U.S. Amateur champion, and then, he Quinella three times,and became the first player who could achieve the U.S. Amateur Championship for three consistent plays in history. After turning professional in 1996, Tiger Woods's record is even more amazing,the prize money won in the game has more than 40 million U.S. dollars in his career.

Have lunch with Nicklaus
Rory McIlroy began his way to the Masters with what is " the best 90 minutes" which cost him a long time.
He had lunch last week with Jack Nicklaus.
An unbelievable experience, McIlroy said Tuesday.
taylormade Burner
McIlroy, 20 years old from Northern Ireland who has already reached No. 9 in the world ,had a diner with a network of friends he made at The Bear Club on the
eve of the Honda Classic.
He wanted as much information as possible on Nicklaus's victory. Nicklaus's 18 professional majors have been the standard of golf and the golf clubs he used were the first choice for many golfers.. What
he had done is more than we could imagin.
It was wonderful to sit down and talk with him and see his approach to winning, and what went through his head when he was under pressure, and what could be
done by him differently from others. It was probably the best 90 minutes I had spent in a long time.
McIlroy won the Dubai Desert Classic last year as his first and only victory in the European, although enough time has claimed the top 10 in the world and
he had been seen as a rising star in the golf. He works with sports psychologist Bob Rotella for assistanceaftercompleting the tournament.
It does not hurt meetings with Nicklaus.
The one story was that Jack Nicklaus did not win the best tournament which he had ever played. It was the 1977 British Open, at Turnberry which was the
famous "Duel in the sun", in which Nicklaus and Tom Watson shot the same scores every day. Watson ended up with 65 - a birdie on the last hole 18 - won by one shot.

Talking about swing speed
A great numbers of fresh golfers believe that "swing speed" is a high-class skill which should be paid more attentions on.Well,importance does not means it is everything.
Because of many reasons,those golf beginers are under a outdate ideals that having the perfect speed is what they should master on the course at the beginning of learning golf.While here are some example for you to understand their is no such thing as a perfect swing speed.
A. About Swing Speed
Your swing speed is simply determined by your golf clubs travels from address, to your backswing, and then through the completion of your downswing.
Different golfer's swing speed measurement will vary great from the other's for many reasons.One depends on the physical size of the golfer,his strength level,his skill,golf type and so on.
You may have been attracted by some proffessional golfers' swing speed.Can you believe it?Many of them can get a more than 160mph speed.You can image that a average fairly strong golfer may get a swing speed about 90 mph by golf driver (For example TaylorMade R7 460 Driver).On the contary,a child player may got a speed less than 40 mph.
B. Beginners and Swing Speed?
I have mentioned above,different people may get different swing speed.So, while there is no magic formula for obtaining the perfect speed, beginner playersshouldn't be overly concerned about how fast their clubs are moving.
A simple saying,if you are still worried about your swing speed,it is not the right time to practise.For it is a uneasy job and it may cost your months to practise,so just take it easy and focus on your balls.
C. Experienced Players
For high-class players, there are a couple of training aids available from reliable golf equipment manufacturers ( For example, TaylorMade likes asking first-line stars to try their new products,such as its TaylorMade R9 Driver becomes hot after receiving the golfers' high prise). One is called the "Golf Swing Speed Radar." This device uses Doppler radar technology to help the player monitor the true accuracy of his swing and helps measure velocity feedback.
Thus, it will show you what adjustments need to be made to increase swing speed.

Q. Well, just talk about your round real quick. You've been a world traveler here for a couple of days?
CAMILO VILLEGAS: First,I'm a little tired.As I played my first too holes,my back was bothering me a little,a little cold and a lot of flying.It was a bad news for me to made bogey on the first hole.A bad beginning for me.But I couldn't worry but stayed patient and got it going.What happened next,you have known that.I played pretty.The green is softer this year than previous years which makes them bumpy especially into the grain and you've just got to take it one at a time.
Q. You played really good the last couple of weeks, and this is a continuation. Can you just tell us about the early part of this week going down to Colombia?
CAMILO VILLEGAS: Yeah,that was wonderfull.I got so much fun.I hoped it's a great step in South America and Latin America in golf.I really enjoyed it.And the most happy thing is that all of the American players there enjoy my country. It's a beautiful place. It's a dream come true.
Q. The fatigue, when you're playing well, is it easier to keep it going?
CAMILO VILLEGAS: Yeah,obviously,if you have a good attitude and you have got a wonderful play,you will fall in love with it.And the comming day is a good day to you.
Q. I was going to ask about the second shot into 18?
CAMILO VILLEGAS:yes,I like it.The second shot is awesome.I was a leader by 264 and I knew I must lost my 3-wood,and I did so.It was a correct decision to me.It ended up good and 2-putted for birdie and I'll always take a birdie on the last hole.
Angel Cabrera: Tiger is the best. I want him to be back
Woods has returned to his home in Orlando and has begun to work on his fitness and his game, the source said. It seem that it won't be too long before the world NO.1 come back to the game. It is naturally welcomed by US Masters Defending champion Angel Cabrera.
After the CBS official news report Tiger Woods appeared in Isleworth , the Associated Press sources also received news that Woods has returned to his home in Orlando Saturday and he has spent the past week at a family counseling center in Arizona. The sources requested anonymity because the release of such information has not been mandated byTiger Woods.
However, it is still a mystery when Tiger Woods will come back. A four-time Masters winner, Woods has played in the event every year since his first appearance in 1995.
Cabrera, a native of Argentina, became the first South American to win the Masters by defeating Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell on the second hole of a playoff last year. He shot a 12 under par 276 to win the green jacket. This year's tournament tees off April 8.
Even if Woods doesn't return to Augusta National, Cabrera said the luster of the first major of 2010 won't be lost.
"Tiger is the best. I want him to be back," the Argentine told reporters during a conference call. "When he's there he makes a big difference (and) a special tournament."
"It's going to be something special," said Cabrera. "I want him to be back but the Masters will always be the Masters, with or without Tiger."
Cabrera, 40, has two wins in the United States, both in majors. His power off the tee and imaginative short game propelled him to the top of the U.S. Open at the Oakmont Country Club in 2007, where he edged Woods and Jim Furyk by a stroke with a 5-over-par 285.
Those two skills helped him immensely on the last day of the Masters, when he hit an impressive 18-foot putt on the par-3 16th hole after Perry put his tee shot within inches of the hole.
He followed that with another 4-footer on 18 in regulation. But perhaps the shot that won the tournament was the punch from the trees on 18 that ricocheted off a tree and fortuitously landed in the fairway. He made up-and-down from there to save par. Cabrera couldn't say though, which shot was his favorite. "It's hard to pick one or two," Cabrera said through an interpreter.
He had no problem picking his best memory, though.
"The greatest memory was when they were putting on the green jacket," Cabrera said. "It's something I'll always remember."

His score was not outstanding at the begining of the second round as he made his 10th bogey of the day at the first hole.If he wanted to get a prize,he must stared to made some birdies for the cut would cone at 3 under.
Well done.He won his second career victory by procceeding to finish the lastest 44 holes in 16 under.He played a par of 65s on this Sunday and outlasted Ricjie Fowler by one stroke.
As he was tired for the 54th after finishing the second round,he thought the problem was on himself.He said "I felt every thing was pretty good.From the game to the swing (Mizuno MP 78 Irons).Every thing was not bad.The biggest problem was I was not putting them together."
"Every thing came suddenly.I must calm down and trusted myself and everything I was doing.I had a good round yesterday as I made a few birdies and catched with the leaders.I knew if the leaders were going to keep one step ahead,I had a chance at 10 under."
"But I just started playing golf and trusting what I was doing."
