90+ Shooters - This Golf Article Is For You!

The advice I give in this article is aimed specifically at golfers that score over 90 for 18 holes of golf. But if you score under 90 for 18 holes you'll still find the advice I give you here valuable....so keep reading.

What you need to work on to score better is the following and this list is from the highest priority to the lowest

1. Putting

2. Chipping

3. pitching

4. Bunker Shots

5. Driving

6. irons

7. Fairway woods

You should work on improving your putting first because if you normally have 38 putts per round and you improve by 5 putts per round you've just knocked 5 shots off your score. This same philosophy applies to chipping and pitching. The more you can improve those two aspects of your game the better you'll score. And finally, you must get really good at bunker shots.

Now when you're practicing putting you should mainly work on distance control. So practice longer putts first and then leave the shorter putts till last. But don't practice your putting for too long. Just get some good feel for distance and then go and practice your chipping and pitching.

And when practicing your chipping you should concentrate on landing the ball where you want and then assessing how far it's going to roll to the hole. Then select a club that will be the most efficient at getting the golf ball close. Then when you practice your pitching you should mix up the distances you practice from so that you get a good feel for distance control. But experiment. Make practice fun. Play some games. And this applies to bunker shots as well.

Play some bunker shots out of unusual lies. For example, play a shot that's plugged, play another shot where you have to stand out of the bunker but the ball is in the bunker. Just have some fun. Even try a "Seve" and get out your 3-iron and try to get the ball out of the bunker with that. This will force you to use your imagination.

If you just worked on these four areas of your game consistently then your score will drop. It has to. Because it's been scientifically proven that shots inside 100 yards make up about 70% of golf. So therefore it makes sense to work on that part of the game the most.

Unfortunately most golfers work on their game the reverse of what I'm saying, and I suppose that's why there is so many "DRIVING RANGES" around! So remember this 70% practice rule when you next go out to practice and if you spend all of your practice time hitting long shots and you're not improving, then don't say I didn't warn you!

professional golfer Nick Bayley has found just one golf swing fault that could be stopping you from ball striking consistency and success. But now you can take a simple 2 minute golf swing test to see if you have this swing fault or not. Go here to take The golf Swing Test now: http://www.yourgolfswingtest.com

Three Reasons You Should Not do Cobra

The Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)

The Cobra pose destroys all diseases and increases body heat.

In a Sanskrit language Bhujanga means a cobra hence the name, mostly used in the West. In the Bhujangasana the body is facing downward while the upper body is curling up and back resembling a snake with its head raised ready to strike. This pose is mostly practiced as the first in the series of backward bending asanas followed by Locust and Bow postures. Before attempting this powerful movement of the Cobra pose the warm up of the muscles of the back is strongly recommended. during holding the pose the legs do not remain passive; they are extended down from the hips. While you start lifting your upper body from the floor be aware of the point where you have extended as far as you can without straining your back. keep your elbows slightly bent and do not push it up over your zone limit. The best way to check if you are not too high is to take your hands off the floor for a moment so that the height you find will be comfortable and safe.

during Bhujangasana the spine receives a powerful backward stretch which increases flexibility of the spine, strengthens the spine and rejuvenates the spinal nerves. Each vertebra of the spine is given a rich supply of the blood. This posture is excellent tonic for women as it tones the ovaries and uterus and it helps to alleviate the menstrual problems. By regular practice of the Cobra pose the backache can be removed.

three important reasons not to do the Cobra pose:

1) This asana should not be attempted by pregnant women at all cost.

2) A person suffering from Hernia should not practice this pose.

3) If you have injured your back please, avoid this posture.

iPod Acessories- You Get What You Pay For

There is no question that when Apple introduced the iPod in 2001, they turned the mp3 world on its ear. The iPod soon set itself apart as the definition of cool among mp3 users, and the introduction of each new generation of iPod has only added luster to its legend.

Where theres success, there are sure to be imitators, and the Apple iPod has spawned not only a plethora of competing mp3 players; it has spawned a wealth--at least for their makers--of iPod accessories to compete with the authentic iPod accessories introduced by Apple. And what the imitators lack in authenticity, they attempt to compensate for with a variety of other advantages.

Advantages of buying Unlicensed iPod accessories

Imitation iPod accessories will cost consumers less that the real thing; their manufacturers are doing an end-run around the fees associated with using the Apple iPod brand name, and have also spared themselves the expenses of actually doing research and development on original accessories.

Many off-brand iPod accessories are function well with the iPod, and even offer features, like casing colors or wireless PC connectivity which are not available from Apple. Lower coat and unique features--whats to complain about?

The biggest black nark on the imitation iPod accessories score card is that they simply may not be safe to use with an iPod. Apple has let its customers know which companies are selling safe iPod accessories by licensing them to do so; any iPod accessories without the backing of an Apple license are not guaranteed to operate safely with your iPod.

Risks Of buying Unlicensed iPod Acessories

It does not matter how many bells and whistles unauthorized iPod accessories can add to your iPod; if you use them and your iPod stops functioning, youre on your own. Using unlicensed iPod accessories automatically voids your warranty; and many unlicensed iPod accessories have been known to completely mess up an iPod after an initial honeymoon period of apparent compatibility.

Unauthorized iPod accessories are made by manufacturers who chose not to pay for the use of Apples technology--remember, thats why they can sell their accessories for less than the real ones--but what you saved in purchasing off-brand technology you may eventually lose in having to replace you IPod. Doesnt seem like much of a bargain after all!

Another caveat concerning imitation iPod accessories is that many of them were rushed to market simply to get a piece of the IPod frenzy, by companies who are not above taking the money and running. So even if you buy guaranteed iPod accessories, there may be no one around to honor the guarantee if they fail.
