I know this is a very large request, but Butch would like to know if you could send us one of your books as he
would like very much to read it. The problem is he leaves to attend the British Open tomorrow afternoon. I will
provide you with a Fed Ex number if you could please overnight to us today. You may reach me at 702-889-2444.

Thank you, Carri Dutt. Personal Assistant to Butch Harmon.


* Butch Harmon just happens to be Tiger Woods mentor/teacher

* Butch Harmon requested the book from me after visiting my web site at golfisking


OTHER ALTERNATIVES TO "TRADITIONAL" GOLF

There are over 100,000 golfers playing Natural Golf alone. Natural golf (naturalgolf.com) has created a number of spin off groups that are worthy of mention.

Jerry Heard, a former PGA touring pro, whose site is located at progolftour.com, has written a booklet and made a tape about what he calls the Heard Super Swing. His tape is important because it shows why this alternative swing is superior to the "traditional" swing.

In his booklet, he talks about the frustrations of teaching the "conventional" swing and how he can often get golfers hitting straight shots in a half hours time. I believe this, of course, because I have had the same experience.

Another swing called Big-Grip Golf, formed by Tom Sanders (who has an excellent teaching reputation) who left Natural Golf over philosophical differences, is also worthy of consideration. The advantage here is that it is a much smaller company than Natural Golf and sometimes smaller is better. You can visit at big-grip.com



Don't forget to visit Jack Kuykendall's site kuykendallgolf.com. There's plenty of free information, but a small membership fee is required for complete access to his site. By the way, if you do decide to join, please mention you heard about it here. Thanks, Ed.
