We Will Not Go Down (song for Gaza)

A blinding flash of white light
Lit Up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they're dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night., without a flight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our scholls
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and Children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on Who's wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night., without a flight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our scholls
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Key Pointers for The Complete Right Handed Golf Swing from Start to Finish

This list is extensive and used in conjunction with the book will significantly help your game. So here goes with the steps to swinging with the New Four Magic Moves To Winning Golf:

At address you should only see 2 knuckles on your left hand and one knuckle on the right hand.

The right hand forefinger hooks slow and firmly around the club. The tip of the forefinger makes definite contact with the tip of the thumb.

The heel of the right hand lies against the big knuckle at the base of the left thumb.

This is a tight grip with the last three fingers of the left hand and the first three of the right on the club.

Knees are slightly flexed and the body is slightly bent from the waist with the shoulders rounded over.

The head is down rather than up.

The right shoulder is lower than the left one

The feet at the instep are about as far apart as the width of the shoulders.

Take a square stance, where the feet are an equal distance from the direction line, neither foot is exactly perpendicular to the line. Both are pointed outward somewhat, the left more than the right.

Ensure you are evenly balanced, between the ball and heel of each foot, slightly favoring the heel.

Arms are very nearly straight, though by no means locked.

The elbows are pointing down towards the ground, notice the hollows are pointing up rather than in.

The ball is teed opposite the instep of the left foot so as it is struck at the bottom of the arc of the swing.

The swing starts with a lateral movement of the hips to the left, about an inch or two, known as the forward press.

The hands move a fraction of an inch to the golferb__s left as the hips also move to the left.

As the hips come back they keep right on sliding and go into a lateral turning motion to the right.

The hands also come back too and the thumb press is made.

This is where the golfer pushes the heel of the right hand down firmly but not sharply on big knuckle of the left thumb.

When this is done, the right hand breaks backward at the wrist and the back of the left hand starts to turn under and faces towards the ground.

At this stage one knuckle of the left hand and the first two knuckles of the right are visible.

The move is firm and steady.

The hands continue to move to the right.

Hips slide into a lateral turn, taking the weight with them.

By the time the hands are waist high the wrist break has been completed.

The club comes back slightly inside the projected line of flight.

The left shoulder turn, not ducking, and the club face is square.

The club is brought back and up until it is almost parallel with the ground.

With a successfully completed wrist break only one knuckle of the left hand and two knuckles of the right hand are visible b__ those at the bases of the index and middle fingers.

The club face is turned away and somewhat down.

There is a definite inward bend of the left hand, a reflex angle formed by the forearm and the back of the hand.

The club is at about a 45-degree angle to the ground.

The angle formed by the left arm and the shaft of the club is more than a right angle, maybe 100 degrees.

The golfer feels the wrists cannot be broken any more.

The right elbow is automatically brought in against the side of the body, setting up a tightly controlled arc.

The swing plane is ideal, neither too upright nor too flat.

The shoulders have begun to turn and to tilt just a little, with the left going down slightly, and the right coming up.

The early wrist break sets the hands in the proper position by the time they are hip high.

The shoulders turn in order to pick up the momentum and let them swing the hands to the top.

The golfer continues a firm retention of the hand-and-wrist position gained by the backward wrist break. This is critical.

As the golfer windups and the tension and stretching increase, the strong instinct to resist is resisted.

It forces the hands into the right position at the top.

The hands stop when they are about even with the top of the head.

The truth is that a good backward wrist break feels stiff and awkward, especially near the top of the swing.

It is important not to collapse the left wrist, duck the left shoulder or open the left hand just to become more comfortable.

At the top the golfer is in a stretched, spring-steel tight position. Ideal to bring the face of the club square to the line at impact and bring it with great speed and from the right direction.

The left heel is off the ground slightly.

At least 60 per cent of the golferb__s weight is on the right leg.

The hips have turned about 45 degrees and the shoulders have turned at least 90 degrees.

The left arm is straight and the grip is tight.

The right wrist is firmly under the club.

The clubface is at about a 45-degree angle with the ground, maybe a little more.

The left hand, wrist, and forearm are in a straight line, a slight inward bend of the left hand is OK.

If the golfer stops and looks up to the right at the top of the swing only see two knuckles of the left hand and only one knuckle of the right hand are visible.

The instant the backward momentum of the club is felt and starts to pull against the hands at the top, a reflex action to move the hips laterally as far as they can go to the left is made.

No effort to make the club move with the wrists, hands, or arms is made. The club, of course, will move. It will be moved by the shoulders.

Once the hips start moving to the left, they are kept flying laterally - all the way through until they turn towards the target.

The hip action causes the shoulders to tilt, elevating the left and depressing the right.

The rocking action, with the left shoulder coming up and the right going down, is what moves the arms and the club.

The hips turn when they can move laterally no farther.

The hips not only move to the left and turn, their movement is so closely tied to the left arm that it pulls the arm and the club down before whipping them through the ball.

The left arm itself is being pulled by the hips. The arm is merely the connecting rod between the hips and the club.

The golferb__s body bows out towards the target.

The downswing starts from the top without letting the angle between the shaft and the left arm open.

Both knees are bent all through the swing.

The right shoulder comes down as it begins to turn, it brings the upper right arm against the right side and the swing starts down on an inside line.

The head is kept back entering into the hitting area.

The hands are near the right leg but the club is still about horizontal and much of the wrist cock has been retained.

In fact one knuckle of the left hand and two of the right would be visible in this split second.

The external triangle formed by the left arm, the club shaft and an imaginary line between the club head and the point of the left shoulder, are retained as long as possible.

The wrist-cock is retained through the first part of the downswing, finally breaking open only after the hands get down to waist height or even a little below.

Also the club face is about a 45-degree angle with the ground,

Body weight is equally distributed but moving towards the left leg.

The hips are turning towards the target as they reach the extension of their lateral movement.

The left hip and left side lead the hands and the club all the way down and through the ball.

The head drops slightly as the ball is hit with a definite knee bend.

The hips go all the way through, to bring the weight far over to the left leg while the head and the upper part of the body stay back.

As the he hips go through, the golfer can see the outside of the right leg from the hip to the foot.

The upper part of the body, anchored by the head is still back, and the shoulders have not yet turned past the ball, though the left shoulder has risen and the right shoulder has dropped.

The right arm is in close to the body.

When this is done the angle between the left arm and the club is retained until the last possible instant and we get what is known as the late hit, which is a sudden catching-up of the club head to the hands as the hands reach the ball.

The right elbow is tucked in.

The upper body comes down behind the ball, but the lower body is moving out to the left ahead of the ball.

The hips are moving laterally and are starting to turn as the left side gets out of the way and the right heel is rising.

At the point of impact the hips go through and turn, and weight is transferred to the left leg.

The hips lead the swing all the way from the top, as they should.

This is the ideal impact position-weight over on left leg.

Head and upper body should be back.

The right shoulder comes down and through with a fully extended left arm.

The back of the left hand and palm of the right move towards the target.

The grip is kept tight for a strong link between the arms and the club at impact.

The golfer hits through with the hands, letting The Conservation of Angular Momentum take its course.

Most of the weight is moved towards the left leg and the right heel comes up off the ground slightly.

The body begins to bow out to the left, led by the hips.

During the follow through most of the weight is almost entirely on the left foot, with only the inside edge of the ball of the right foot on the ground.

Notice how the hips have turned until they are facing the target.

The left arm is bent and has collapsed.

The elbows point towards the ground and the left wrist is under the club.

The right arm is extended and rather high but not straight with the back of the hand in line with the forearm.

Finally the grip on the club at the finish is just as snug with both hands as it was at address.

I trust these pointers will help you improve your golf swing.
