I Touring Pros Shouldn't Teach In the April edition of Golf Magazine, Jim Murray's "Commentary" ad' dresses a question that has been a pet ~nTtHm. t._ peeve of mine for a number of years. Murray has a repressed fury for writ- a '' 1 ten golf instruction by professional Ufll I Pfll C Sp-n. ? Tin golfers and other assorted experts on If ILLwULl , J the game. | Murray is not talking about the WILL \ club professionals, who are generally rnrkRFLL highly skilled in giving golf lessons, in M person, on the practice range. His j A Act anger is focused on the touring pros who capitalize on their success on the PGA tour by publishing books and video tapes of golf instruction. While I will have to admit that even a bad video tape of a golf lesson is to be preferred over most written instruction by pro golfers, it must be said, however, that video instruction does not insure learnini; will tako nlarn Thn wr ? r bottom line in golf instruction is how it affects your game in the long run. Does your game improve? Crenshaw On Putting About a month ago, I sat in the clubhouse at Oak Island watching a video tape by Ben Crenshaw on how to putt like a pro. It lasted almost 30 minutes and the only salvation for my investment of time was that it reminded me to grip the putter very lightly. That has produced very effective results on the five and six foot putts in the past few weeks. We all know that Crenshaw is recognized as one of, if not the best, putter on tour today. That does not alter the fact that Ben possesses skills, time to practice, time to play and a direct financial need to succeed with the putter. Not many of us can claim his set of conditions to succeed as a putter. His video tape was poorly produced, directed, written and filmed. Ben is a great putter but a poor actor and comunicator. The tape was just plain boring. He uses a grip, set up and stroke we would all be thrilled to be able to emmulate, but he says or does nothing to tell how to practice and acquire these skills or how to know when we are violating his technique. When we are missing five and six footers consistently to the right of the hole, are we not aligned properly, are we pushing the putt, are we not following through, or do we have a faulty grip? You never really know until someone watches you and tells you. Those very important par savers from short range will never fall if any of the above errors are present in our putting strokes. Beware Of Touring Pro Tips You really must be cautious about those short tips on "How To" golf that we often see or read. The fact is that touring pros know how they hit the ball and what makes something work for them. They sure don't know how we hit the ball. Jimmy Demeret once uttered the following cure for a slice, "Hook it." Well, that made sense to him. Not to the average golfer who hits a big balloon slice most of the time. Most slicers have hit a hook. I can remember when the slice was my stock in trade on the course. I always aimed at the trees on the left and hoped it stopped rolling before it ran into the treeline on the right. If I aimed down the middle, it would soar into the rieht treeline on the flv nnH trv in hi'Ho fmn. mo I also remember those little instructional tips on how to draw the ball. Boy, did I want to draw the ball. The tips seemed very logical and gave inspriation to my next practice session. The problem was that the pro who wrote the tip was hitting the ball with his swing and not my swing. When I tried the new, exciting tip, the ball not only did not hook, it did not go straight either. More often than not the tip would produce a worse slice or some form of a worm burner skittering off in the morning dew, spraying a plume of frustration and leaving a clear record of the balls path for all to see. "Hey, Will, you practicing chips or putts over there?" "Nice swing, Buddy, you really stayed down on that one." One cannot really afford too many swings like that. It is bad for the ego. Back to the old reliable slice. The truth of the matter is that the pro who wrote the tip could not hook or draw the ball with our stance or swings. If he contorted his body and lost his balance the way we do, he would only be playing two or three days a month like the rest of us. And it would not be at The Masters either. We gotta remember that the professionals who play for a living have swings and a game that most of us can simply admire. It we are to try to emmulate those swings we need to focus on basics and not on those tips that finesse the ball. j Diamond Bulldogs Nip j West Brunswick 4-3 West Brunswick remained winless Hill to 3-0 while the Trojans fell to after three starts in the new prep 0-2-1. baseball season last Tuesday as West Brunswick continues nonvisiting Wallace-Rose Hill took a 4-3 conference play today (Thursday) non-conference victory over the Tro- hosting Loris, S.C. . jans.

Yellow Buoys Are Illegal Illegal crab pot buoys have recently been popping up along the North Carolina coast. Some commercial fishermen in Core Sound and other areas are unlawfully using yellow buoys to mark crab pots, according to a news release from the state Division of Marine Fisheries. Fishermen are permitted to mark crab pots in one of three ways, the release states. They may use their state motorboat registration number, their federal vessel documentation name or the owner's last name and both initials. Crab pots with any yellow coloring are a violation of state law and owners are subject to a fine. Commercial fishermen may only use yellow buoys to mark the ends of gill nets, which helps boaters identify the location of the net and avoid entanglement.
