Get Your OptiShot and Improve Your Golf

Monday, February 13th, 2012

Adjustable Soft Tee Plug & Carrot TeeAfter many years of playing Golf I got to a point where it was quite hard to move forwards. My swing was as good as it was going to get and I had no idea what could make the improvement I was looking for. A friend introduced me to the OptiShot Infrared Golf Simulator and said this had helped him reduce his handicap from 9 to a 4.

For the fair price of $400 I thought it was well worth taking a chance on this product as I was sure I could sell it on if I was unhappy.

When it arrived it took me less than an hour to set up, connecting the PC and installing the software took the longest and then I was ready for my first practice swing. I put the simulator into practice mode and off I went.

The information this unit returns is really amazing and just from a few golf swings you can start to see things that are wrong with your back swing. I took a bit more time and then realized that this product really can help you build a better swing.

It is now 6 months later and I have managed to drop a couple of shots off my handicap and I am very happy with the results from this cost effective golf simulator.

My Short Game Improved with a Rife Two Bar Putter

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

I wanted one of the rife putters for Christmas so I was busy emailing the links to those who are in the mind to get me one. My wife actually. She asked me what I wanted so I told her. I email her once a day to remind her. I want one of this two bar putters that I can adjust the weight of. I like a heavy putter on most greens. It makes for a smooth stroke for me and I have less of a tendency to overshoot when I use one. How do I know since I don’t own one yet? Well, I borrowed my brother’s. I was able to get one and two putts on a lot more greens. It sure shaved a lot of strokes off my game. I worked so hard on the drives that I was neglecting the short game. This putter requires no extra work. You just use it.

Buy Your Ski Gear Before Heading to the Slopes and Save Money

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

Health Food : 2sbj Health Care : BIOYOUNG Phytogen PlusBefore heading to the mountain slopes for a spot of skiing or snowboarding, I do recommend that you buy your ski gear before you get to the ski resort. For one thing the prices tend to be high at the ski resorts and secondly you will have more choice away from the resort shops. In my mind there is nothing worse than to be on the slopes with cold feet or hands and I always make sure to use a pair of insulated insoles then a pair of thin socks followed by an absorbent woollen pair. Cotton socks are not a good investment for skiing because they absorb the damp and the wetness and will leave your feet cold. To keep fingers warm, do buy a pair of insulated gloves that are also waterproof. Nothing can spoil the enjoyment of winter sports more than cold hands and feet and this is especially important if you are skiing as a family with young children.

A Judo Uniform Helps with Judo Practice

Friday, August 26th, 2011

While I exercised regularly by going for runs around my neighborhood in the mornings, I wanted to try something else. I am not big on group exercising, so a gym was out of the question. A friend of mine told me that she had started practicing judo, but I told her I wasn’t interested as I didn’t feel like making a fool of myself in a group environment. Being like me, she felt the same way and confessed that she was using videos and online exercises. I tried to follow in her steps, but could not get in the right frame of mind. When I asked my friend for tips, she had one suggestion: judo uniforms. She said that it would sound silly, but dressing up for the occasion was all the motivation that she needed. I took her advice and bought a uniform, and I couldn’t believe the difference dressing up had. When I donned by judo uniform, I knew it was time to exercise.

When we talk of hot models, normally all men would be on their attention on whom those women would be, and one of them is Arianny Celeste.

The Clicgear 3.0 Golf Cart

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

I keep seeing golf cars all over the place and thinking it’s the Clicgear 3.0 and that may be because they all look the same (which to be fair they really do) or it might be because I’m actually half right and they’re very popular. While every golf cart might look the same (it’s a few sticks with wheels to hold your golf bag – let’s face it) they actually do different things.

The real difference with the Clicgear 3.0 (yes, funnily enough it’s an upgraded version of the older Clicgear 2.0 – surprise!) is it not only comes packed with more features than your average golf caddy but it actually collapses down when you’re not using it so you can easily store it into the boot of your car or into a corner of the garage.

It’s not a driving golf cart but who really wants one. Walking golf is a lot more fun and if you have a decent golf cart (whether it’s the clicgear 3.0 or something else) since they take the weight off your back so you can enjoy your game without worrying about carrying everything around but you still get the relaxation and enjoyment of walking around the course and taking your time rather than racing around it.

I’m a fan of the Clicgear 3.0 myself. I don’t play very often which is why I love being able to store it away but other than that it’s light, easy to use and has more features than a full weight golf cart the Clicgear 3.0 just wins at every point so it’s no wonder every golfing green has one these days.

Russia Provides for Some Great Fishing Resorts

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

The so-called Russian Alps near Moscow are what one might call the the world’s best fishing resort in fresh water. There you can test out your carp fishing tackle for the local carp, or try for the mud crabs even. You can use rental jeeps to get to the enormous lakes. There are not many people who can afford this trip, but those who can agree it is the best thing you can get for your money. During your trip you might have the opportunity to meet other successful business people from all over the world, especially from the US. There is a local variation of fly-fishing which the residents will be more than happy to teach you – it takes around half a day to get into it. The only thing to take care of is the local level of radiation, which after Chernobyl is slightly higher than we are accustomed to. On the other hand, this leads to beautiful sunsets colored in deep red, a perfect backdrop for your fishing experience.

The Taekwondo Extras

Saturday, February 26th, 2011

When people join a martial arts club, Taekwondo or any other martial art, they go with the expectation of being able to learn some self defence moves and learning the movements and techniques of that particular martial art. I do not believe people expect to get all of the extras as well. When I joined Taekwondo I got a lot of extras. Yes I got the things like my stamina improved, my general fitness improved, I was in the best shape of my life, I had improved balance and flexibility. I got these, but these are natural by products of learning Taekwondo. But I also got unexpected extras as well and for me the most important one of all is that I made some of the best friends of my life. We trained together for years and despite the fact that we do not all still train we are as close as ever. Studying martial arts gave me the greatest extra possible – amazing friends.
