Is Anthony Kim the Real Deal?

Today 23 year old Anthony Kim won the AT&T National held at Congressional Golf Club in Bethesda, Md. Three shots behind going into the final round, the 23-year-old Kim emerged from the pack with consecutive birdies around the turn at Congressional and closed with a 5-under 65 for a two-shot victory over Fredrik Jacobson.

Kim became the first American under 25 to win twice in one year on the PGA Tour since Tiger Woods. Is Anthony Kim the real deal? Will he be the player to challenge Tiger Woods for pro golf's crown?

In Search of a Few Extra Yards

Golf is a mystical game. The smallest thing can have such a dramatic effect on your game.
I recently took a lesson from one of the better pros in my area. After about 5 minutes, the pro informed me that my clubs were too short! He informed me that I needed to add about 1 inch in length to all of my clubs. I almost fell over. I am 6' 0" tall. My clubs are "off the shelf". I have never felt that the clubs didn't fit me.

After thinking it over, I decided to find a club maker and have the clubs lengthen. After receiving the clubs, I headed to the range. What a difference!!! My setup is more comfortable, and my ball striking is crisper! With the minor tweak to my swing and the lengthening of the clubs, I am now about 10 yards longer on average.

The adjustments have helped my games and I am a much happier golfer. If your pro mentions this to you, it is worth a try!!
