Testicle Therapy

"I woke up this morning and this Asian guy was attached to my foot."

Here’s a funny joke that guest author Brian Blackburn sent in.  Happy Friday!

Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole. The ball hit one of the men. He immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony. The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize. ‘Please allow me to help. I’m a Physical Therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you’d allow me, she told him.

‘Oh, no, I’ll be all right. I’ll be fine in a few minutes,’ the man replied. He was in obvious agony, lying in the fetal position, still clasping his hands there at his groin.. At her persistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside. She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, ‘How does that feel’? Feels great, he replied; but I still think my thumb’s broken!

Came across this nifty little article today in my Google Alerts.  Take a gander.

Six Reasons to Play Golf
Houston Style Magazine
By M. Ernest Marshall

Golf is a strange game, particularly, to those who don’t understand it. One must ask why so many people want so desperately to play the game as often as possible. With a little thought, at least ten reasons emerge for this:

1. Golf is a very difficult game. If it were easy, there would be little interest in it.

More July Golf Trivia Winners

The winners of the 2nd July 2010 Trivia Contest are:

Zak Fehrmann (Blaketree National Golf Club winner)
BJ Rieck (Bear Creek Golf World winner)

Here’s a recap of the question.  Do you know that Oosthuizen employs a mind-training trick to help him with his concentration on the course? The idea came from sports psychologist Karl Morris. What technique is credited with helping Louis Oosthuizen win the British Open?

A) Focusing on a small red spot on his glove during his swing
B) Thinking of the taste of his favorite sandwich as he setup to the ball
C) Right before each shot, extending his left index finger off of the club
D) During his pre-shot routine, looking up into the clouds for 2 seconds to clear his mind

Here’s a quote from The Independent (author Steve Connor) that details the answer:

A small red spot on the glove of golfer Louis Oosthuizen is credited with playing a critical role in his winning of The Open Championship at St Andrews last Sunday. The coloured spot was a visible manifestation of the growing influence of psychology in sport – it was designed to help the 27-year-old South African concentrate on his swing in the crucial moments leading up to a shot.

The next contest is starting tomorrow, so come back soon.

Perception of Woods

Check out this Tiger Woods article from Doug Ferguson, AP Golf Writer, at Yahoo Sports:

He last won a major in the 2008 U.S. Open, when he had only one good leg and needed one extra day to beat Rocco Mediate at Torrey Pines. The 0-for-7 streak he is riding still doesn’t match a pair of 0-for-10s in the majors from the 1997 Masters to the 1999 PGA Championship, and from the 2002 U.S. Open to the 2005 Masters.

It’s not time to panic just yet.
