The Children are back to school, the NFL is almost about to start as well as the NCAA. The month of September is just a few days away and the NBA is still not advancing with their bargaining with the players. Just a month from now, training camps are supposed to start. But the lockout is now in its second month and there are no accomplishments whatsoever.
There are no communication or dialogue going on from both sides and David Stern and all the NBA owners have not gone over the top with their case yet, and also not a lot of efforts from the players’ side.
With Fisher leading the players, the union gave out a 56-page lockout handbook to all its 400 or more players. And one of the many things included in the book is a very simple reminder for players to be extra sensitive when giving interviews or talking to the media and granting some interviews.
What happened in 1998 was a different thing. And this year’s lockout is clearly the owners’ fault. But if the lockout continues and would result some missed games, then it would be the players’ fault.
The owners had the blueprint in place where the 1999 era collective bargaining agreement is written, and states that owners have the right to keep players’ salaries under control and say “no” when it comes to deals with some overpaid players, and signing up a replacement for a very reasonable half price.
The burden somehow lies to the players, especially since they owe the league and the game so much. They also owe it to all the incoming players, as well as to future employees that would definitely feel the impact and the pain of this bad deal.
This time more people are involved, especially with the Internet and the mobile phones and other gadgets are very accessible. And somehow, all these bring people closer together. And though people understand that the players do not have the obligation to settle, but their obligation is with the people, and those who came before them. This may be the owners’ mess, but this is the players’ duty.

The Tip Every Golfer Should Know
Many people can drive a ball a good distance, putt as if they have radar in their heads, but it's that little peice of real estate close to the green that wonks up their scores on a routine basis. Poor chipping equals much higher scores. It's that simple. And let's face it, there's nothing worse than getting close to the green and watching your chip shot screech across the green, pass the hole and go sliding off the other side. By that same token, a high-flying chip shot that overshoots is just as annoying.
Now I know (as I'm sure you do, too) there are a gazillion tips on proper chipping. Some of these are very good tips and should be followed by just about everyone. Others are, well, less than good. But as with all things golf, do what fits you best and works out for you on the links.
There is, however, one chipping tip that everyone needs to know and understand and practice. And that has to do with your hands on impact.
A major factor in hitting consistent chip shots is for the hands to lead the clubface through impact.
The vast majority of thinned or fluffed chip shots occur when the clubhead overtakes the hands and is, therefore travelling on the upswing, rather that delivering a descending blow at impact.
The first thing to do at set up is to move the majority of your weight onto the left foot. The ball is played towards the back of the stance, and the hands go ahead of the ball. This is vital if your want to control your shots. Setting up your body so your hands can do what they are suppose to do is crucial to getting this right. Do not underestimate the importance of a good, proper stance when preparing to chip.
The chip shot can now be played with the correct downward strike. You should NOT be trying to slide the clubface under the ball, nor should you be trying to scoop the ball into the air.
The key now is to make sure that you keep the hands AHEAD OF THE BALL and not allow your wrists to dominate the shot. Players who get "wristy" at impact run the risk of thinning it clean through the green or chunking it a few inches.
I'll share some more chipping tips with you in the future and you can decide if they work for you or not. But the one chipping tip you should truly consider as being worthwhile, is the one you just read. Keep those hands ahead of the clubface.
