Dear friends,

I am taking another break from the dance floor to explore other avenues of 
human activity (gasp, really?), including the game with little balls and 
lots of grass.

But on the driving range last week, a pro was suggesting I use my back 
muscles to help get more power into the club.  Also I was to transfer my 
weight from the left to the right while recoiling.

Suddenly, I recalled the way I was taught to do ochos and crosses (as a 
leader), you know with my torso twisting rather than at my shoulders, 
shifting weight, etc.....

and powww - I nailed the ball out of sight.  I think of tango everytime I 
drive the ball, now, and it helps alot.

The ocho drive - I wonder if Tiger Woods knows how to Tango?

Then I am wondering about what other sports may the tango conditioning 
apply?  Any ideas?
