| Congratulations to Padraig Harrington for winning back-to-back British Opens! A feat not accomplished since 1950. A shout out of gratitude to Greg Norman for his example to the world that the young and not so young can go head-to-head in a major championship. It was said of Norman during television coverage that he possesses the mind of a 53 year old and the fitness level of a 23 year old.

| How many of you actually sat down on January 1st and made a list of New Year’s resolutions, or things that you really wanted to accomplish this coming year? What gave you the desire to come up with your New Year’s resolutions? What gave you the motivation to want to sit down and write out on paper the things you wanted to change about yourself, or the things you wanted to accomplish in the coming year?

| I’m going to once again remind Golf Fitness Magazine readers that human beings in general are goal-oriented, goal-driven creatures. Every single day of our lives we move from one goal to the next, even though the goal may not have been written out or planned. Some of our goals are simple, like turning off the light before we go to bed.
| | |  | One look at Justin Rose and you can tell that this No. 7 world ranked player knows the importance of golf fitness. You can also tell that it is not something he takes lightly, as a matter of fact, it is something that he knows has enabled him to keep playing the game that he loves and keep playing it well.
| | |  | Suzann Pettersen returns to Interlachen Country Club in Edina, Minnesota the site of this year's Women's U.S. Open, to try to capture the second major championship of her career and establish herself as one of the best women players in the world. This is the same course where six years ago, she sank her now infamous birdie putt and blurted out an expletive on national television. | | |  | World No. 1 player Tiger Woods, who will be paired with No. 2 Phil Mickelson and No. 3 Adam Scott in the first two rounds of the US Open at Torrey Pines, according to an Associated Press report, will attempt to win his 14th major championship. | It seems the number one has more than just "one" meaning….(no pun intended) when talking about Coach Bill McInerney Jr. and The Golf Channel's BIG BREAK CONTESTANT and Bill's student, Susan Choi. One means everything, especially when referring to this coach, who by most accounts, has with his one-handed coaching style; put Choi on the golfing map.

Recently we had the opportunity to sit down with Trevor Immelman and ask him a few questionson his thoughts about golf fitness and his success. He graciously gave us an entertaining interview in his candid Sout African accent. | | | 
| Byron Nelson, who achieved one of the most remarkable records in sports history when he won 11 consecutive pro golf tournaments in 1945 was not just “lucky,” as some might say, he was well versed in the mental spirit of the game.
| Etiquette has always been a big part of our culture. We pride ourselves on being polite and acting proper in certain situations. Proper etiquette always gets noticed and more importantly improper behavior really gets noticed. For instance... It was the seventeenth day of October, in the Year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty that eight golfers showed up at the Prestwick Golf Club and played the 12-hole golf course three times in one day to decide the first British Open Championship. LUCK happened that night in April when I stood and watched the publisher of Golf Fitness Magazine being interviewed for a golf/talk radio program in Orlando, FL. FORTUNE, however, happened as I sat with Ken Peck, double amputee and Marketing Director for the National Amputee Golf Association and learned about his passion—golf. That sound you hear is not that of pit row on the NASCAR circuit, but the violent pummeling of calculator keys trying to figure out who qualifies for the PGA’s brand new FEDEX CUP championship. That’s right, the PGA tour is about to enter a new era. Instead of playing out the regular tour schedule as we all have grown accustomed to, the tour is redefining the season, adding a playoff, and a new way to crown its champion. Laura Baugh. During her professional golfing career from 1973 through 1997, Baugh earned 66 Top 10 finishes, including ten runner-ups. However, if asked what her greatest claim to fame might be, I would bet money that this energetic mother of seven, would smile and reply “motherhood!” However, seven children have not kept her from continuing to do what she loves-golfing, working out and helping others. |
