Three Simple Tips to Cure Your Golf Slice
The golf slice is an annoying mishit which most of us have played at one time or another. To get rid of your slice you first need to know what causes it.
There are two main reasons you're slicing the ball;
1. The clubface is open to the path its travelling at the moment of impact.
2. You're swinging from outside-to-inside.
This article will give you a few simple tips to fix your slice. To fix your golf slice you need to;
1. Square the clubface
2. Swing on a nice square inside path.
Tip #1 Check Your Grip
Slicers of the ball tend to have a weak grip - meaning that the clubface is free to move open.
Ensure that your hands aren't turned too far left on the grip. To get the right grip position ensure that the Vs formed by the index finger and thumb on both hands points to your right ear.
Also when you look down you should only be able to see two knuckles of your left hand.
Tip #2 Fix Your Out-to-In swing path
If you're slicing the ball you're swinging too much from the outside in, this causes your slice. The swing path that will give you the straightest shots is an inside-square-inside swing path. The key is to stick to this inside-to-inside swing path as much as possible in the swing.
A good drill to develop a good feel for the inside square swing path is to set two tees opposite each other, about six inches away from one another. Place your ball in the middle of the tees now practice hitting the ball in the middle swinging through the tees.
If you hit the tees then you're swinging too much from the outside. Keep practising until you can hit the ball without making contact with the tees. This drill will get you used to swinging on an inside-square-inside path.
Tip #3 Squaring the Clubface
You have worked on fixing your out-to-in swing path. To fix the slice you need to work on both your swing path and your open clubface.
You want to ensure that your clubface is square at impact. The easiest way that you can get the clubface square at impact is to simply square the clubface at address and then keep it square throughout the entire swing.
You see it's much easier to bring the club back through with a square clubface if it was already square on the backswing. If your clubface is open or closed then you have to compensate by flicking the wrists over at impact, this doesn't work, not only do you slice the ball but you also lose a lot of power.
So remember - clubface square at address, on the backswing, on the downswing and then it's much easier to hit the ball with a square clubface.
Follow these tips, implement them in your game and practice!

Golf Psychology: Fear of Failure
Fear of Failure
Fear of failure can affect Golfers of all abilities. So let's look at two extremes we can find in golf.
The Higher Handicap Player
The problem:
For the Higher handicap player, the fear of failure can typically manifest itself on the first tee. The fear, stress and anxiety increases as he or she is about to play their first shot of the day. But why?
Well, negative thoughts about topping the ball, slicing out of bounds or missing the shot completely can all be magnified in their own minds for this level of player when it comes to the First Tee shot because of its very nature:
Players are normally standing around, watching others tee off.
The first tee may be right in front of - or close to - the Clubhouse. It's the first shot of the day.
The higher handicapper is normally more inconsistent in their ball striking and so has lower self confidence than the better player.
Many tie the quality of their first shot to a belief that this will set the tone for the whole round.
The list could go on - but the fact is the FEAR is a direct result of concerns over:
Embarrassment: worry about topping the ball or missing the shot or whatever
Peer Pressure: your colleagues and other players who are standing around "comparing" what you're doing
Self Esteem: the above two, contribute to tying in your golf game - to your self worth.
The answer:
Create a routine for the First Tee that focuses* on the positives of your game. Use Visualisation* to see you playing a shot that you know that you can hit.
Must you use your Driver if you find it difficult to hit? Your mind will only accept thoughts and images that you believe to be true, so if you can't hit your driver - don't use it (especially on the first tee). Using a club that you're comfortable with will give you confidence* - because you will believe that you can use it.
Understand that there will always be players who are better than you (we are talking about high handicappers here, remember!) - So if they are standing around watching you - what's the problem? Do not make the all too common mistake of thinking a poor shot means that YOU - as a person - are in some way inferior. Your golf game is not you!
Unfortunately too many higher handicap players tie their game and self worth together - if this is you - STOP right now. Why do you think you play off 24, 21 or whatever? Because you WILL make mistakes. You will top the ball, slice your shots and miss many putts - if you didn't - you would be off 5 - not 25.
So get a reality check.
Remove the pressure that you put on yourself on the first by creating a process* and routine for hitting - not just this shot - but every shot. Use a club that you know you can hit. Learn to reframe* any negative thoughts about the first tee. The pressure and associated stress is all in your own head - no one expects a high handicapper to cream the ball off the first tee - 300 yards. So RELAX*, use focussing* techniques and enjoy your round.

The History of the Collingwood Magpies
The Collingwood Magpies had an incredible year last year, and it is due them to have a look at their history and consider how they got to be such a celebrated team.
What has led to their greatness? What are some of the key dates in their history? Who are some of the "greats" associated with this team?
The premiership victory was certainly a great feat, and the Grand Final was such a neck-and-neck battle that it gave way to a Grand Final replay, in which the Magpies utterly trounced the Saint Kilda Saints.
Not having won a Grand Final for the past twenty years, the rejoicing amongst the Magpies' fans was massive – prior to the game, AFL merchandise coloured the streets as supporters of opposing teams proudly showed their allegiance. This gave way to the colours of black and white following the game with flags and scarves blowing from car windows, fences, and anywhere else available to fly their colours.
Looking back on Collingwood's first Premiership victory in 1902, it is significant to note that it was not only Collingwood's first premiership season, but it was also the first time for the Grand Finals to be played at the MCG. In a nail-biting event the very next year, the Pies won their back-to-back title under warm conditions, and against a strong opponent, pulling into the lead at the last moment with a mere two points. The question remains for 2011 – will they pull off another back-to-back?
Not only has Collingwood succeeded to obtain two back to back victories, they have had a four year consecutive run – 1927-1930. Though they have competed in an outstanding number of Their victories got smaller however, and by the time the Grand Final came around in 2010, their supporters were ready for a party – and boy did they ever party! After 20 years of silence, they were back at the top – and no one was able to miss it. AFL merchandise abounded wherever one looked, and it seemed as if all of Australia was having a party...Not that all of Australia are Colllingwood supporters, but they certainly have a large fan base.
In fact, not only does Collingwood have the largest fan base in AFL, but they also hold the title for the largest supporters of any Australian sport. In 1970, when Collingwood and Carlton battled it out for the Premiership title, a record crowd of 121,696 spectators watched. And in 2010, the year of the Magpie, they beat their previous membership record with a total of 57,617. Many supporters purchase AFL merchandise and proudly support the Magpies.
With 8 Brownlow Medal winners, beginning with Syd Coventry in 1927 and the latest being Nathan Buckley in 2003, Collingwood has many prestigious players. Nathan Buckley also set other records, including the most bests and fairests.
Nick Maxwell is the current captain of the Magpies, having begun in 2008, and led them to victory in the 2010 Grand Finals.

Dan "Hendo " Henderson wins light heavyweight STRIKEFORCE
Dan Henderson cements his legacy in the world of MMA with another title at the age of 40 in the light heavyweight division of strikeforce vs Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante. Henderson had his right hand cocked and loaded from the start of round 1. It was no secret that this was his weapon of choice but Rafael was unable to stop "the H -bomb" from landing in round 3 to all but end the fight and winning another title to add to his long list of accomplishments in MMA.
In round 1 Rafael had surprised Dan Henderson with a power right of his own to the face of Hendo that knocked him to the ground, but Dan was able to get up quickly and grab Rafael and take him to the mat where Dan used his ground control game to re-group and recover from the knockdown. Feijao also landed a huge leg kick in round 1 that bruised the thigh above the knee on Hendo.
Round 2 seen Henderson use his dominant wrestling skills to takedown his larger opponent a couple of times to win a closely contested round. Rafael went for an early takedown but was stuffed by a sprawling Henderson. Rafael showed some strong resolve by reversing position when Henderson had top position but he could do nothing effective with it. After being separated from ref Mirgliotaa, the round came to an end without much more action.
In what was an all but even fight to this point, round 3 got off to a bang when Henderson's right hand came over the top to land with concussive force and Rafael landed head first into the mat with a loud thud. Hendo quickly jumped on top to land a few meaningless shots before the ref Dan Miragliotta mercifully stopped the bout at the :50 second mark. At the age of 40 yrs and 6 months Dan Henderson became the second oldest man to win a major mma championship behind only Randy Couture's 43 years. Henderson has shown that he can compete and win against men half his age and bigger then him with his wrestling skills and haymaker of a right hand that must put fear into any opponent that faces him.

Backfire
Hello, my name is Stephen and I am not a violent person. I shouldn’t have probably begin with that but I think that I should make a point of that. So I will start from the beginning. About 7 years ago give or take several months I was on a kids summer camp. I was a chubby kid more on the fat side which was just beginning to go through puberty. Suffice it to say going to the camp wasn’t my idea. My father decided that I need toughening and he sent me in the middle of nowhere for a summer full hiking, biking, swimming in the lake and away from video games. None of my friends were going there and basically it was like a hell for me. The other kids made making fun of me a kind of sport so I stayed away from them as much as possible. Probably my only real friend in the camp was one of the instructors - Avi. He was an ex-Israeli Defense Force soldier and had a very strange sense of humor but I liked him because he treated me like adult and not like a fat piece of lard.
Anyway every morning around 6 am he would go near the lake and train some moves for a week or so I thought it was Kung-Fu but eventually I understood that it was Krav Maga, "the Isreali Kung-Fu" as Avi put it. After several days watching him (I was getting before everyone else because this made getting away from them easier), I convinced him to teach me. And so my Krav Maga training began. It wasn’t long before I realized I really enjoy practicing the moves and later training with him. By the end of the summer I was really hooked on the concept and the idea of this martial art and not surprisingly when I went back home I looked for Krav Maga schools in the NYC and found several. As I continued practicing it I lost weight and the abuse from the school bullies stop. Everything would have been just peachy if it wasn’t for my father who constantly mocked me about training Krav Maga, according to him a real man didn’t need to train fancy jumps and kicks. So he decided to prove me that I wasn’t ready to protect myself, but his plan backfired.
While I was sleeping he barged in my room with a mask while my big brother was recording the whole thing on camera. He expected to freak me out by grabbing my shoulder and screaming "This is a robbery" in my ear, he didn’t expect my just woken up self to hit him with the night lamp in the face and then to almost instantly to proceed kicking and hitting him. The video was quite spectacular actually, the type of which turns viral when it goes in the web.
As a direct result from this adventure my father had a broken nose and lots of bruises. He now attends my Krav Maga School too and my mother keeps the tape and shows it on Christmas and family gatherings for much of my father’s annoyance.
In conclusion I want to say that I am not violent man, but when the thanks to my training when the situation expects it I will react properly even if it is my father.

Andy Murray, Tennis Injuries and Sports Braces
After a largely successful year for Andy Murray, culminating in being crowned Wimbledon champion after 77 years of British disappointment, he will now be out of action following surgery on a long standing back injury. In the past two years Murray has taken some of the top titles in tennis with the US Open and Wimbledon, but at the same time has fallen foul of injury, something which is acutely common in the world of sport.
The latest injury setback should be remedied with surgery, addressing a trapped nerve in his lower back which can cause pain to shoot down his hip and upper leg. The injury has been managed for two years, with Murray now taking medical advice to have the issue remedied completely. Pain killing injections have been used in a bid to mask the issue, though masking an injury is not a long term solution.
It doesn't matter whether you're a professional tennis player or a club player, sports injuries are common for us all and come in many different forms. The most important thing following an injury is your recovery and ensuring that you come back fitter and stronger than before.
The main forms of rehabilitation are rest, ice to manage inflammation, physiotherapy, light exercise and the use of sports braces. The latter is something which is gaining more and more prominence, with Andy Murray himself sporting branded ankle supports for added protection.
What are sports braces?
Sports braces are designed to manage sports injuries, offering the patient an additional level of protection and support during recover and beyond. Whilst sports braces can be used as a preventative measure, typically we only know of a weakness as a result of an injury. There are however knee supports which are designed to offer protection from injury, used during high impact sports such as snowboarding and motocross. These knee supports are rigid by design, compared to the material based supports typically worn by tennis players, with the exoskeleton designed to withstand impact and protect the knee joint.
Material based supports are available for all areas of the body, with knee supports, ankle supports and back supports readily available. Supports are designed to manage specific areas of the body and conditions, with ankle supports available to manage anything from a mild sprain to ankle ligament damage.
In all the sports brace offers the patient compression to an affected area which can help to manage inflammation as well as reducing pain, thereby allowing the patient to remain active for longer and aid their recovery from injury.
What are back supports?
Back supports are designed to manage conditions relating to the lower back or lumbar region. Lower back pain is a feature of not only sportsman but through everyday life, from attempting to lift something which is too heavy, to turning too quickly. The latter is common among tennis players and one of the root causes of injury. In general, back injuries occur from overuse i.e. stretching or pushing yourself too hard.
Back supports are designed to offer the patient an additional form of protection and support when remaining active. The compressive nature of the brace helps to manage inflammation and reduce pain, thereby allowing you to continue longer.
It is important to note that back supports should not be used in isolation following an injury, but work as part of your recovery programme. Back injuries range in severity and the length of recovery time required, from self-limiting strains to those requiring physiotherapy, and in the case of Andy Murray, surgery. Back supports are as much about confidence as they are about support, with patients sometimes requiring that extra reassurance.
What are ankle supports?
Ankle injuries are another potential consequence of playing tennis, with the active nature of the sport requiring players to pivot and turn quickly. In such a high tempo sport the risk of injury to the ankle joint is increased, with one of the more common forms of injury involving the rolling of the joint.
Injuries to the ankle joint can range in their severity, from a simple strain to ankle ligament damage and even a broken ankle. There are ankle supports available for each type of condition, all of which are designed to help with your recovery.
A simple strain requires ankle supports which offer compression to manage the inflammation and the pain which can work to enhance mobility. These ankle supports are breathable and discreet so that they not only conform to the skin but can be worn under clothing.
There are ankle supports available which help to mimic ankle ligaments through external straps. This offers additional stability to the joint without hindering movement, something at the heart of every sports brace.
Where more serious injuries occur, such as a broken ankle, there are rigid ankle supports available to offer maximum protection to the joint. The rigid nature of the support provides the support required to remain mobile without the ankle potentially rolling or swaying.
With numerous back supports and ankle supports available it is important you select the correct one for the condition you wish to manage. If you are unsure as to which brace is right you should speak with a clinician for a professional diagnosis and advice on the right sports brace for you.

We live in a society that loves convenience and online gaming is certainly that, you can play any game, anytime and anywhere.
Of course early online gambling was fraught with annoying problems that had to be ironed out before people would really be able to trust it as an alternative to the more traditional visit to a local casino. Before connection speeds increased to broadband and cable, dial up was a frustrating option, especially when it came to downloading software to actually play the games. Speed was a huge factor addressed by developing Internet technology; people needed faster connections and less delays and disconnections if they were going to trust online gaming. Core Internet technology of course improved rapidly and web server technology took advantage of this, developing ‘web farms’ to spread the workload out amongst many servers so that it would be possible to deal with the hundreds of client to server requests.
An even more important factor to ensure the growth of Internet gambling was security features. Until people felt sure that their financial transactions were safe online, no one would want to give their financial details out over the net. Massive improvements in encryption technology and the creation of payment methods like PayPal and NetTeller gave new players the peace of mind they needed to take the plunge and start playing online.
But the most interesting aspect of this growing industry is the way that it is defining itself as its own unique online community. When you log onto any of the growing number of top-notch online gaming sites you get an idea of the high quality of these sites. Upon first viewing, these websites look like a magazine or news site. There are flashing links to featured and preferred casinos, which help you find the best places to invest your time and money in. There are reviews and articles to read which help to inform you about the world of online gaming. There are even updates as to the best promotions and bonuses available at the time for different casinos and poker rooms. The world of online gambling is still an exciting frontier and defines new boundaries daily.

Bingo - Does Online Bingo And Gambling Go Hand In Hand?
Gambling is a legal and popular pass-time, enjoyed by people the world over in many guises. Bingo, like the various national lotteries around the globe, is considered a ‘soft’ form of gambling, associated with old ladies and church halls more than flashy Las Vegas style casinos.
However, with the surge in popularity of online Bingo, the question is arising - is it possible that the hidden danger of gambling addiction lurks in this innocent game, after all?
Recent studies confirm that the online environment makes it easier than ever to become hooked. Players can log on any time, because it brings the game conveniently to your fingertips, at home, at work - wherever you have Internet connectivity. And the online world never sleeps.
However, it can be relatively easy to work out if your gaming habits are healthy.
Compare the following examples:
An individual logs on to his favorite online bingo website daily and buys around 10 cards each night. His greatest enjoyment comes not from the games, although they are undoubtedly fun to play and he gets excited when he comes close to a win. However, he is mostly there for the social interaction he gets in the chatrooms – the busiest and most popular rooms on most online bingo sites. Winning is secondary, and not the main purpose of his attendance. He knows when to quit.
According to Wikipedia, the number one online encyclopedia, addiction is defined as “a compulsion to repeat behavior, regardless of the consequences”.
So does such an everyday appearance in the online bingo environment constitute addiction? The player interacts socially, and occasionally makes some cash, while buying a manageable number of cards that he can afford.
While it may be argued that he is ‘hooked’ on the time he spends at the online bingo sites, there are no detrimental effects to his home life, his finances or his general health and well-being.
In another scenario, a woman sits up late into the night, spending money on countless cards, which she simply cannot afford. Her late nights impact negatively on her performance at work, and on her family life. When she does make a winning, it only spurs her on to play on in the hope of an even bigger win next time around.
The difference is not hard to see.
According to the Australian Minister for Gaming, John Pandazopoulos, who recently launched that country’s Responsible Gambling Awareness Week, keeping the following criteria in mind could help players enter into the enjoyment of games such as bingo safely:
•Gamble for the fun of it, not for the money.
•Set yourself a limit and don’t exceed it.
•Don’t chase your losses. Walk away.
•Think of the people who need your support.
So it would seem that there is no need to steer clear of your favorite online bingo sites, as long as you are able to play responsibly, and quit while you’re ahead.

Golf Balls - A Wonderful Game-Golf
The golf ball has undergone many upgrades and enhancements throughout its long life. There are four distinct stages in the evolution of the golf ball: Wooden golf balls, Feather stuffed leather covered (Featherie) golf balls, Gutta Percha (Gutty) balls and Rubber Core balls. From the original wooden ball to the modern Rubber-Cored, the ball has changed the way we play the game of golf.
A golf ball is a ball designed for use in the game of golf. golf ball must not weigh more than 45.93 grams (1.620 oz), that its diameter must not be less than 42.67 mm (1.680 in), and that its shape may not differ significantly from a symmetric sphere. Like gol clubs,golf balls are subject to testing and approval by the ‘Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews’ and the ‘United States Golf Association’..
Today's golf balls have progressed into having cores of titanium compounds, hybrid materials, softer shells and a more pressurized core. They usually consist of a two-, three-, or four-layer design, consisting of various synthetic materials like surlyn or urethane blends. When a golf ball is hit, the impact, which lasts less than a millisecond, determines the ball’s velocity, launch angle and spin rate, all of which influence its trajectory.. Every modern golf ball has dimples; their purpose is to increase and shape the lift and drag forces by modifying the behavior of the boundary layer. In order to keep the aerodynamics optimal, the ball needs to be clean. Golfers can wash their balls manually, but there are also mechanical ball washers available.
Most golf balls on sale today have about 300 - 450 dimples. There were a few balls having over 500 dimples before. The record holder was a ball with 1,070 dimples -- 414 larger ones (in four different sizes) and 656 pinhead-sized ones. All brands of balls, except one, have even-numbered dimples. The only odd-numbered ball on market is a ball with 333 dimples.
Before Buying A Golf Ball One must Know that There are many golf balls we could choose from,so don’t hesitate to tell the dealer about your interests and your game,only then could you Buy the right Golf ball which suits your game.

Scuba - How To Avoid Difficult Situations When You Scuba In Deep Waters
Practicing scuba diving is a fascinating thing that attracts an increasing number of people. It is no wonder that scuba is such a popular sport considering that it offers the possibility to know better the wonderful life that lies under the waters of the world. The dangers that scuba diving implies should not be forgotten however. I'm not saying that we must stop practicing this sport because it can imply major risks. The important thing is for you to know basic things when you want to start practicing it. Plus, if you want to go for scuba in more unfriendly location, you need to have some professional knowledge so that you could avoid unpleasant or even painful situations.
Deep waters can be fatal for divers if they don't have the needed skills and if they don't know how to safely exit. Getting back aboard may seem very difficult when the boat is unstable and you are in waters that have a significant depth. The first thing to keep in mind is to maintain your calm, and not to panic. You need to evaluate your environment and observe the changes that took place since the moment you entered the water. Be careful with the possible wave actions and currents that became more intense. In order to get to the surface in the best state, you should also evaluate your position and other divers' position to see who is closer to the surface than you. Once you know where you stay, you must avoid getting too close to the other divers, especially when it comes to standing beneath one. Only after you clearly know what your positions are you can start swimming up safely by avoiding the other divers. If you don't feel prepared to fight with the water at a specific moment then you should ask for help to someone who is close to you or is closer to the boat.
The most significant thing is for you to maintain the calm if you don't see the boat anymore or something else happens. If you will be able to observe the situation then you have more chances to come up with solutions. In general, you need to be very well trained and have some experience when you go diving in deeper waters but not all people get to stay equilibrated when they face a bad situation. If you don't feel ready for such things but you still want to swim in deep waters then you should make the trip with a professional that can constantly swim by your side.
When you practice this sport don't forget it is a risky activity not just something else you do for fun. Stay cautious to prevent any accidents to happen and choose more risky locations when you have some experience already.

Games - I Totally Love Free Online Games
If you are reading this article, you are quite likely on an article site. Over the past few years, I have developed a strong sense of satisfaction with posting articles online. Getting tens of thousands of people to read my writing is highly satisfying.
But what is the relevance of all this talk of article sites with the topic of the article that has to do with online games? Good question. There is actually a link.
There are some article sites that will accept any article that you submit to them. There are others that will cast at least a glance at your articles. And then there are some others that actually read your articles and are very liberal in rejecting them.
There are many reasons that articles get rejected. One of them is that the writer's language is very advertising like. And that the writer is clearly trying to promote a sale rather than write an article.
When I last wrote an article about how much I loved free online game sites, one of the lesser-known article sites rejected the article with the "pretext" that the article was too much of an advertisement!
And I was like, "What?" I am probably being very adulatory, but also think about what it is that I am saying I love so much. I am saying that I love playing games online. So what is the specific sale that I am trying to make here: Playing? Gaming? Being online? Ridiculous!
All the same, here I am at it again. Once again ready to inform all my readers that there are few joys as accessible and satisfying as playing games online. And the fact that these are typically available free of charge makes the price right too.
First of all, I love the fact that the free online gaming sites have really taken on creativity into their hands and explored each game genre in great depth. Be it arcade, adventure, action, role play, strategy, shoot-em, racing or any of the other genres, I think that gaming sites have really done a good job at coming up with hot new ideas.
Then there is the amazingly addictive resource of playing against and comparing your scores against others from all over the world. This creates a great ecosystem for anyone interested in competitive gameplaying.
Over and above that, when I take a random walk down the path of most gameplaying sites, I find that the overall layout and navigation is highly appealing. Despite the fact that these sites are clearly keeping all those games free simply by using advertising and affiliate revenue, I find that the top gamesites keep the sites free of obtrusive advertising.
So when you find some free time, you can reach a great recreational destination simply with the click of a mouse. Now before I am accused once again of heavily promoting online gaming sites, let me sign off with the recommendation that if you have not already explored online gaming sites, you do not know what you are missing.

High above the Kohala Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii, not far from spectacular oceanfront resorts such as Mauna Kea and Mauna Lani, sits Waimea Country Club. The understated club is surrounded by ranchland and tucked into the shadow of the Kona Mountains. Most travelers who venture to these parts don’t even think of playing golf. They go to visit historic Parker Ranch, which dates back to the early 1800s and served as a training camp during World War II for Marines bound for Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
The course, designed by Florida-based architect John Sanford, isn’t overly ambitious, and therein lies its appeal. Holes flow naturally over the contours of the land. The routing is relatively open, and it consists of gentle doglegs, judiciously few bunkers and strategically sloped greens, several of which are guarded by eucalyptus trees. “We didn’t do a lot of design work in the office,” says Sanford. “We drew it out, but we did most of the details in the field.”
Inspired by golf trips to the British Isles, the club’s owner, Andy Anderson, recently added some links-style bunkers. “But,” he’s quick to point out, “I’m not trying to make the course really difficult— I want it to be fun.”
Waimea has a homey clubhouse, modest green fees by Hawaii standards and, thanks to its higher elevation, a cooler climate than that found on the coast. Fog often sweeps in off the mountains, giving you the feeling of playing through clouds. The cool weather offers the added benefit of supporting bent-grass greens, which can’t survive at the island’s seaside courses.
Instead of a full restaurant, the club has an informal snack bar where you can sometimes find a particular Hawaiian treat: Spam musubi, an appetizing sushi version of that revered Hawaiian staple. Another authentic island experience.

Wedged between a military base and a suburban neighborhood of tract homes
Wedged between a military base and a suburban neighborhood of tract homes, Navy Golf Coursecould easily be taken for a mid-city muni and nothing more. The layout occupies a mostly flat, open tract of land in Cypress, California, dotted with water hazards and trees. But a dusty display case inside the clubhouse reveals a clue to something deeper: It contains a few faded snapshots, including one taken on the premises, of a gangly Tiger Woods.
Arnold Palmer had Latrobe Country Club. Jack Nicklaus had Scioto. And Tiger Woods, son of a Green Beret, had Navy, as this modest twenty-seven-hole complex is known. Based on shot values alone, few traveling golfers would go out of their way to play the eighteen-hole Destroyer Course or the executive nine, Cruiser, both of which opened to civilians in 2006.
But for fans of the world’s number-one golfer, a visit to Navy is a pilgrimage to the place where the legend was born. And as Tiger’s path to glory lengthens, certain sketchy details from his youth may become further obscured. So they’re worth recognizing now.
Look for the eucalyptus tree on the left side of the sixth hole, 347 yards from the tee. It’s known as Tiger’s Tree because Woods’s father, Earl, used to tell his son he wouldn’t be ready to play with the big boys until he could reach it with his drive—a feat he pulled off at age sixteen, says Joe Grohman, Navy’s longtime pro. You’ll also get a telling sense of how Tiger developed his unwavering focus: Clattering Apache helicopters fly in and out of the Joint Forces Training Base, mere yards away.
Although Earl was a decorated Vietnam veteran, a cohort of intolerant patrons of the club didn’t endear themselves to his mixed-race son. Tiger was insulted with racial epithets, and club officials once banished him from the course for allegedly hitting range balls into a nearby garden. Over time, the membership has turned over, and Grohman says the club would love to make peace with Tiger. But Woods has never returned. History isn’t always pretty.

A teaching pro turned sailing captain launches charter trips in the CaribbeanFrom
With his suntanned legs and wide-brimmed hat, Tim Schaaf looks every bit the capable captain of his elegant forty-five-foot catamaran. But Schaaf, who owns and operates Jet Stream Sailing & Golf Charters, knows something about golf, as well. He was the head coach at Stanford University during the pre-Tiger era of the 1980s, and he’s a former PGA pro. He co-founded SyberVision Golf Schools, once ranked among the world’s top teaching programs, and helped develop a computerized swing analysis. He is also an iconoclast: As a PGA section officer in Maryland, he once pushed through a rule change allowing shorts to be worn in club-pro tournaments. At a college event in Hawaii, he had his Stanford players wear aloha shirts.
For two decades the Harvard-educated Schaaf, 60, has been chartering trips through the Caribbean from his home port of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. This year, he’s offering a seven-day golf cruise. The first port of call is St. Croix, with rounds at Carambola Golf & Country Club, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., and the short and scenic Buccaneer Golf Course. From there, it’s on to the Puerto Rican island of Vieques for some beach time and snorkeling before golf at El Conquistador, a sporty Arthur Hills layout with elevated tees that provide views of El Yunque rain forest. Though he’s open to custom routes, Schaaf favors this itinerary because it’s mostly downwind, and he’s arranged special green fees, typically no more than $100.
When his captain’s duties allow, Schaaf will go ashore as a playing partner (at no charge) or teaching pro (about $300 per round). “This kind of trip is guaranteed to make you a better wind player,” he says, only half in jest.
The sleek catamaran accommodates up to six passengers in three cabins, each with air conditioning and a private bath. Gourmet dinners are provided nightly by Schaaf’s partner, Marsha McCoskrie, a professionally trained chef.

Galveston’s linksy new Moody Gardens toughs out Ike
Given the devastation that Hurricane Ike’s ferocious winds and surging floodwaters wrought on the city of Galveston, it seemed unlikely that the Texas barrier island’s newly rebuilt public golf course would emerge unscathed. But that’s essentially what happened. Just three months removed from an $18 million overhaul by Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy when the storm struck ashore, the Moody Gardens Golf Course suffered only minor damage, mainly felled tree limbs and washed-out bunkers. “We were able to get everything covered up and bolted down, and we came through it okay,” said Bill Pushak, the links-style course’s general manager, only a few days later.
Moody Gardens planned to reopen in October, and if you happen to be in Houston, a city with limited public-golf options given its size, the course is worth the hour-long drive. Jacobsen and Hardy redesigned what had been the bedraggled Galveston Municipal, its fairways prone to flooding and saltwater damage. The architects elevated the course two to five feet in places to improve its ability to slough off water and replaced its Bermuda fairways with seaside paspalum, the salt-and drought-tolerant grass now widely used in the tropics. The new turf withstood Ike’s five-to ten-foot floodwaters just fine.
The redevelopment of the golf course was conceived as a way to attract tourism to Galveston. Once the largest and most prosperous city in Texas, it was decimated in 1900 by a hurricane that killed at least six thousand people—the worst natural disaster in the nation’s history—and in some ways it has struggled ever since.
Jacobsen and Hardy did more than just bolster Moody Gardens’ storm defenses; they created an appealingly low-slung windswept layout. The fairways curl around inlets and lakes edged with wispy grasses. One of the course’s finest holes is the par-three ninth, which demands an all-carry mid-iron shot—naturally, over water.
