| This Week at TravelGolf.com: August 3, 2004
Most every golf instructor I've ever met knows the game. Most are even passionate about the game. But only a select few are truly great instructors. Fortunately, we recently added one of the best to our roster at GolfInstruction.com when Kellie Stenzel agreed to become a regular contributor.
Stenzel, who spends her winters at Palm Beach Gardens in Florida
and her summers at Atlantic Golf Club on Long Island, has been a
PGA class-A teaching professional for the past 14 years. Associate
editor Kiel Christianson believes readers will benefit from Stenzel's
simplistic philosophy, which focuses on three words: grip, posture,
and momentum. Interestingly, Stenzel relies very little on video
analysis, especially when working with women: "[They] get so
stuck on what their clothes or their [figures] look like on film,"
she says, "it just distracts them."
While we welcome Stenzel aboard, be sure to check out our usual full roster of reviews and travel features, plus a new profile of ESPN golf analyst Charlie Rymer, who discusses his course design business, his legendary appetite, and much more in this visit with staff writer Joel Zuckerman. As always, your comments are welcome on any topic. Have a great week.

In Part II of his series on the state of golf, national golf editor
Tim McDonald looks into the reasons why golf is losing millions
of players each year, including five hour rounds of golf and high
equipment prices. But industry analysts are split on whether golf
participation in the United States is either slowly starting to
climb back up after a few lean years or declining altogether.

story | Part one: Who can you believe?
Are you a golfer who is still not eating french fries because of
how France responded to our military action in Iraq? Well, then
you're going to love this: Tim McDonald writes that a new book on
the history of golf says France, not Scotland, was the birthplace
of the royal and ancient game. As McDonald puts it, naturally, they're
pissed in Scotland.
