The Golfing Gorilla in a Big Celebrity Tournament at Lake Tahoe   TOM'S TIPS, MIND SETS, STORIES AND OBSERVATIONS! "REMEMBER IF YOU DON'T THINK LIKE A GORILLA YOU WON'T HIT IT LIKE ONE! "WE HAVE A SAYING IN THE JUNGLE, ...YOU DON'T TUNE THE INSTRUMENT AFTER THE SYMPHONY!"       MAKE SURE YOU ARE LOOSE AND READY TO PLAY.  HOW?  ALWAYS IF POSSIBLE HIT A BUCKET OF BALLS BEFORE YOU PLAY.  START WITH WEDGES AND WORK AT SOLID CRISP SHOTS.      AS YOU GET LOOSER, WORK UP TO LONGER IRONS AND QUICKLY HIT YOUR DRIVER.  ONCE YOU HIT A COUPLE OF GOOD DRIVES COOL OFF QUICKLY DOWN TO LOWER IRONS AND END WITH YOUR WEDGES AGAIN.      NOW YOU'RE READY.  THINK LIKE A GORILLA AND PUTT LIKE A TIGER.      SO TIL NEXT TIME, E-MAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING!
