What is there to like about golf?

Article by John Daniels









What is there to like about golf? I cannot answer this question as to me it is a good stroll interupted. I do appreciate the level of skill involved in putting, or driving, however there is so much dead space in between anything happening, that it amazes me it is followed by spectators the world over.

I have played golf many times in my life. I admit not to a high standard. My motivation for playing was always to talk business with others who were obesessed with the game. My clubs were all brough from charity shops, which meant they cost a grand total of £55. This was very amusing to the guys would play golf with. I would pretend they were borrowed from friends, but they seemed to guess I had bought them on the cheap. Whilst playing I often wondered quite why a game too so long to just put a ball in eighteen different holes. I was informed that there is plenty of time to talk, so socially there is great value to the game. Why not just go for a walk then? You are not allowed to talk whilst shots are taken, so the social side of the game, something that draws many to take it up, can only happen whilst walking around, silly club bag in tow.

Walking is great exercise. Low impact, and very good for the breathing and the heart. Why then do so many people, who look like they need a bit of exercise, drive round the courses in buggies? If golf is there as a part of their exercise regime, where is this exercise coming from? The golf swing? It does make me laugh as I see over weight ladies and gentlemen driving themselves around in golf buggies, hopping out for their shot, then back into the buggy fifty yards down the course. Wouldn’t they benefit from some of that exercise?

Another thing that bothers me is the lack of excitement for most of a game. So little happens. I admit I understand that a great putt, or even a hole in one, can be deemed exciting. How often does that happen in a game? How does such a boring sport entice so many spectators, and have so much money running through it? I did a lot of business on the golf course, and that buainess was done whilst walking between shots and holes. That business, however, could just as easily have been done in a bar, or restaurant. I could even have done it in the office, where all my pens, paper and computers all resided. Thanks to golf I had to try and close accounts dodging rain, and furiously making notes on a mobile phone.

I have no problem with golf being popular as each to their own. I just do not understand it’s draw. Walking around with a bag of clubs, for those that can be bothered. Driving around in a little battery cart for those who don’t fancy the walk. Occasionally stopping to drive or putt. Then more walking and driving. Maybe if there were only three holes it would be more bearable. I believe that people play golf because they think they have to to fit in with their particular social class. I cannot believe that a game so dull would be able to last and grow, unless it was due to people playing it to fit into a particular social group, or class. Golf is a good walk ruined in my opinion. I know that is an old quote. But to me it is so obviously accurate.

How To Put On Makeup Like A Pro – Tips Explained In Easy Steps

How To Put On Makeup Like A Pro – Tips Explained In Easy Steps

Article by Michal Afenjar







Makeup has been around for several centuries and was most notable as a beauty enhancer by the Egyptians. Makeup back then was just about simple coloring of the eye that is evident with most Egyptian paintings. However, the art has been carried down through generations, and today the market displays a plethora of brands that have brought in a cut-throat competition to produce some of the finest and the most fascinating make-up products in the industry. Unfortunately, women become overwhelmed by the availability of various cosmetics, and in the attempt of looking beautiful end up under layers and layers of cakes on their face.

This undisputedly becomes the reason why it is not only important to use makeup, but it is equally important to know how to put on makeup. The importance of learning how to put on makeup has been brought forward with the sight of thousand ghosts like women walking around the street. You might be wondering why is it important to learn how to apply makeup. Well, here are the reasons:

* Natural: women are always associated with their natural beauty and charm that can entice anything in the world. It is true that makeup can hide away your flaws, but you should not go to the extent of putting too much makeup so as to hide away your natural beauty. Putting too much of makeup can bring on an artificial look which is not much appreciated by people. * Personality: the ability to know how to put on the right make up will also enhance your personality. A poorly put make up can make yourself a laughing stock in front of people, and you definitely do not want to make an impression with an uneven makeup on your face. A simple analysis on how we look will surely make us certain on judging about the right make-up to be used. * Confidence: Yet another importance of learning how to put on makeup is to boost your confidence level. Proper makeup can surely make you look stunning, and a good-looking woman is more confident than her colleagues. A good-looking face can surely make a woman more confident in her personal as well as professional life. You might have observed many women who have achieved a lot in their career focusing a lot on their makeup. Moreover, there are two things that can cheer up a woman -shopping and makeup. * Age: they say that you should never ask a woman her age. But if you know how to put on the right makeup, people will definitely have no doubt on your age. Improper makeup can either make you look too young or too old. You definitely do not want to look 10 or even 60. Hence, you need to maintain the right equilibrium between looking a little older than a teenager, and a little less than a middle-aged woman. Maintaining the right look with the right makeup will surely bring you great appreciation.

These are only few advantages that tag along with knowing how to put on the right makeup. It is always important to know your makeup so that you can look gorgeous and at the same time build a higher confidence level.



About the Author

Makeup was my biggest passion from my childhood and it was a hobby for me to try new ideas on how to put on makeup and bring new look to my face. The world of cosmetics is really fascinating and there are many items for you to try which will bring a completely different look for you. I constantly write about new ideas on how to put on makeup on my website.

Read Greens Like The Pros

Read Greens Like The Pros

Putting is a combination of the mind, reading and execution. I have maintained my 12 handicap over the last twenty years simply by increasing my prowess on the green, while age has negatively impacted most of the other parts of my game. This article deals with the second aspect of the putting triad, reading greens.

A golf green is like a book, not a sentence. If you are on a strange course and didn’t take a couple minutes on the practice green, it is like you are opening up a mystery novel at chapter 14 instead of the first page. That’s fine if you want to learn the “plot” during the next few chapters/greens, but your score and countenance will reflect your early confusion.

Let us assume that you took a little time on the practice green before assaulting the course. Do not try to fix flaws in your putting technique during your few minutes practicing. Instead, determine two things:

1) The speed of the green (stimp)
2) How much the ball breaks at that green speed.

So instead of concentrating on draining putts, get a solid feel for the speed. Try various distances along with uphill, downhill and side hill. Remember how much your ball breaks on your regular course. The amount of break for the same grade on a different course is linear with the difference in speed.

Example: If you have to putt 20% softer on this different course, your ball will break 20% more for a given length of putt. Why? Gravity has that much more time to pull your ball downhill because you had to hit it slower. A ten-inch break on your home course will now break twelve inches.

Ok, we are on the course and you have hit the green with your approach shot. As you walk toward the green, take in the whole scene. Greens are built to shed water, not to hold it and have water pool every time the green is watered or when it rains. There is a scheme to remove water from all greens. Look over the whole green to see where to water will run off. This can be more than one place. Hint: On hilly or mountainous courses, 95% of the time water will flow away from the hill.

If there is a pond, stream, etc. near the green, the water run-off scheme will almost always be designed to allow water to eventually drain to it. Ever hear the phrase, “Breaks toward the water”?

Greens are also generally built to make us feel good, so most will have a slant toward the tee box in order to better hold approach shots. Beware of the slope of the green near greenside bunkers. There will normally be some slope away from the bunker for a distance.

Now you are on the green and “reading”. I always walk all the way up the line, read from behind the hole, then walk down the other side of the line and read from behind the ball towards the hole. Your feet and balance during this trek will tell you more than any other thing. If I have any questions remaining, I have no problem trampling right up my line to get a better feel. Let us be honest. When is that last time a footprint deflected your ball?

Hopefully one or more of the other players in your group will have to putt before you. Caution: All putting strokes are different. Some players cut the ball, some hook, some bounce or backspin, some decelerate. But watching all these putts will help you. It doesn’t matter if they are on your line or not. The most value you get will be watching what happens to their balls around the hole. Example: If someone putts well off your line and the ball slows quickly, his putt was uphill and yours will have to break toward him at the hole.

Other terrific clues to help you determine the slant of the green along your line are background structures and terrain. Look for houses, lakes, ocean, and horizon. All of these are true to the world.

Early in the day, you may still have dew on the greens for several holes, even after they were mowed. The marks left in the dew by previous putts will help to some extent. You will not be able to tell if these putts were blown by the hole in many cases, so just get the trend from the marks.

We need to address grain of the grass. My opinion of grain: Most announcers love to talk about it on TV because it is a nuance that most amateurs don’t think about, care about or know much about. The announcers talk about it like newscasters hype hot stories. The problem is, the more attention you pay to grain, the less attention you pay to factors that actually mean something. When you begin to get helped by dealing with the grain, join the Hooters Tour.

Should you play the wind? Unless it is howling, wind is a very minor factor influencing your ball on the green. Put your hand down next to the green to prove to yourself how much the wind on your face gets knocked down all the way down to the ground. I think you will find the effect will always be less than one inch along a twenty-foot putt.

All of these factors are going to work on your subconscious and you will generally develop a “gut feel”. As I talked about in a preceding article, you must not discount this feeling. You can read the green. Begin your focus immediately following your approach shot to the green. Use all the clues and believe in your skill. You CAN read greens!

Learn to Hit a Low, Penetrating Stinger Shot Like Tiger Does

Learn to Hit a Low, Penetrating Stinger Shot Like Tiger Does

The best time to play the Stinger shot is when you are faced with a very narrow tee shot and there is a lot of trouble bordering the fairway. The last thing you want is for your ball to miss the fairway and land up in one of the multiple hazards.

So what should you do? The first thing is too not hit your driver as it is definitely not worth the risk. This type of shot requires a three wood or even a two iron for you to execute it successfully. Once you have selected the appropriate club follow these steps.

Step 1: Tee the ball very low to the ground.

Step 2: Ensure that you grip the club firmly with your left hand. This is extremely important as your left hand is the most responsible for controlling the movement of the clubhead.

Step 3: Bring your right hand on to the grip, but make sure you grip the club lightly with this hand as it will allow you to increase your hand-arm speed and will also add significant power to your shot. Which you will definitely need to compensate for the distance you will be losing for not using the driver.

Step 4: Position your hands ahead of the ball so that the clubface is still pointing at the target, but is slightly closed.

Step 5: Start your backswing, keeping it as flat as possible until you get to the parallel position. At this point your right hand should be hinged slightly.

Step 6: Start your downswing, but keep your right hand hinged and then unhinge your wrist at impact. You should also ensure that the back of your left hand is turned downward to keep the clubface closed at impact.

This should help you to significantly reduce the loft of the club and will help you hit a long, low flying shot that will split the fairway and consequently have a lot of roll. Make sure you practice this shot on the driving range first as it is a bit unorthodox and will take some getting used to. I hope this helps.

Swing Like Tiger

Swing Like Tiger

Are you trying to swing like Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and other famous golf players? Every golf players wants to make a handsome swing by imitating the Super star. While many good players have very different looking golf swings, (Callaway Big Bertha Diablo Fairway Wood) but they all have two things in common during their impact position:

Good players retain wrist-cock through the impact zone, as well as maintain a strong solid base during the hitting area. These two areas of the golf swing set the good player apart from the high-handicapper.

Proper wrist-cock maintains lag, increases power: To create lag, the left wrist needs to be bowed upon impact allowing the hands to be slightly ahead of the ball upon impact. This causes a late hit, or “lag,” which all good players use to create the power in their golf swings.

High-handicapper golfers tend to do the opposite by releasing the hands early instead of having the hands ahead of the ball upon impact. (Callaway FT Fairway Woods) They collapse the left wrist causing the club head to move past the hands before impact. This scooping action creates a tremendous loss of power resulting in loss of distance with the driver and miss-hits with the irons.

To create a late hit, your hands need to arrive at impact before the club head. The best way to achieve this position is to practice hitting balls with a heavy club.

The heavy “practice club” forces your hands to lead the club head through the hitting area. It also is a great way to build up your strength and swing speed, creating additional power. Try it. It works!

Strong solid base upon impact: To create power during a golf swing, golfers need to have a solid base as they strike the ball. In all sports, a solid base creates power.

When a boxer throws a punch, it starts with the power in the lower body. As they start to punch, they step off their back foot and throw their weight into the direction of the punch. The legs are slightly bent, but there is tension within them, (Callaway Hyper X Left Fairway Woods) which helps keep the lower body in a powerful position.

The same tension in the lower body should be maintained during the impact position in the golf swing. Currently we hear this concerning Tiger Woods upon his return from reconstructive knee surgery. Before his recent surgery he could not maintain a sold base as he moved to his left side during impact. Golf analysts now describe his lower body action as much improved because of his solid leg action.
