wendy wooda: hi wendy, yes there are a number of things i would recommend. firstly get flexible. maybe go to a few yoga classes and do some good stretches. this is perfect preparation for golf and will prevent any injuries occurring. and then look at your general fitness. getting a squash ball and squeezing it 100 times a day builds up your wrists, forearms and finger strength very quickly -- and this is so important in golf.i would recommend you book four to six lessons in order to get you back on track. this is an ideal opportunity to get rid of a few bad faults as well develop a positive direction for your comeback. and finally of course do some practice on the range. work through all the clubs including the putter and when you emerge on the golf course you may just take your friends and yourself by surprise. good luck! story tools click here to try 4 free trial issues of time! section pagefootballnadal falls in battle of spaniards• 'pacman' jones to take plea deal• defeat destroys djokovic's cup bid• cop fired with 'arms outstretched' home pagevideomost popularsarkozy, unions set for showdown• danish pm declares election win• u.s. panel finds hidden war costs• bhutto: time for musharraf to go         cnn u.s. languages --------- arabic japanese korean turkish cnn tv e-mail services cnn mobile cnnavantgo ad info about us preferences © 2007 cable news network lp, lllp.a time warner company. all rights reserved.terms under which this service is provided to you.read our privacy guidelines. contact us. site map. external sites open in new window; not endorsed by cnn.com pay service with live and archived video. learn more download audio news  |   add rss headlines
