Texan Billionaire Sir Allen Stanford (as a 'Sir', I imagine that he's not really Texan) believes that he can turn Twenty20 cricket into the biggest team sport in the World and is putting his money where his mouth is.

Now that I hope I have the attention of Ontgolf.ca readers, I am going to focus on writing a series of golf swing mechanic tips that revolve around creating more power and distance. Additionally, I hope to subliminally create a superior knowledge of proper swing mechanics for those reading that would only listen if it was about hitting it farther.
