6 Easy Steps To Choosing a Golf Carry Bag

 Golf carry bags are lightweight and practical. The problem nowadays is there are so many different designs and extras to choose from. For a lot of people the first consideration will be price, but once you know your range then you need to look at the other features offered by the bag.

Follow these 6 steps and you will find the right bag for you:

1. Weight - This varies a lot, you can find bags as light as 3-4 lbs, but others can be very heavy. 18 holes is a long way to carry your clubs so make sure you do not pick a bag that is going to weigh you down.

2. Stability - A lot of carry bags now have an attached stand. This will obviously add weight, but it is a great feature as it makes it so much easier to get to your clubs and pockets. The width of the stand is important when the bag is at rest. The triangle formed needs to be wide for stability as a bag can easily be blown over in bad conditions.

3. Club Storage - Golf carry bags are smaller than trolley bags and it can be easy for your clubs to get tangled together when trying to take them in or out of the bag. Make sure that there are 4-5 dividers and at least 2 of them are full length dividers to prevent this happening.

4. Straps - Must carry bags now will come with dual straps which is essential to create balance when you are carrying. What you need to look for are easily adjustable straps so you do not have to fiddle about while on the course to adjust them.

5. Pockets / Storage - It is important to have enough storage pockets to avoid packing everything into one or two pockets and making them over bulky and akward to carry. Important pockets to look for are:

Small valuables pocket - preferably waterproof

Large pocket for storage of waterproofs, jumpers etc.

Beverage pocket - this needs to be easily accessible and insulated

Handy accessible pocket for your golf balls and tees

Somewhere to keep your scorecard

6. Extras - Other items that are required are:

Rain Hood that can be easily attached while on the course

A hook or similar to attach a towel to

Umbrella storage

Padding where the bag hits your body, particularly the lower back area

Once you have found a design that fits all your requirements you then just have to decide on color, do you want to stand out from the crowd or blend in?

Hunting Gear For The High Country

Being ready is not the same as being prepared! Taking what you need is worth the extra time to pack!

Hunting season to some is more than just going out for the trophy, it is also being in the company of like minded friends. A check list – binoculars, rifle scope mounting, rifle scope, rifle, ammo, sleeping bag, warm socks etc. The most important hunting gear you can take is getting your mind prepared. Yes the equipment is important, knowing your limits is more important. On the news yesterday some hunters needed to be rescued, yeah I know you are thinking bunch of guys had too much to drink and got lost. I guess a lot of times this is the case. In this case it was not being prepared. They went in to the high country and bad weather moved in. Fortunately they came out all right this is now always the case. I live in Colorado and the saying here is if you don’t like the weather now wait five minutes. It will change and that is not far from fact. In the summer you go hiking in the early morning and get off the mountains by 2 pm after that the chance of a storm with lighting is likely. In the winter it can be sunny, clear and warm one minute and then, blizzard conditions move in.

Binoculars, rifle scopes, range finders no matter how much they cost are going to get you out safely if you get stuck in the high country. You can have all the latest and greatest hunting gear available, but if you don’t have a plan, well you get the point. I remember a news story about some hunters that came from Chicago to Colorado to hunt in October, which can be a beautiful month. They went in to the high country near Glenwood Springs with a brand new Cadillac, went hunting in style. I remember the news cast they where lucky they did have most of the hunting gear they needed to keep warm, they just where not prepared. A big snow storm came in lasted a couple of days and left about 5 to 6 foot of snow. When it cleared a search and rescue went out for them, they where found and air lifted out, BUT the gentle mans Cadillac was in there until the spring thaw. Must have hurt to make payments on a new car that was frozen in the high country.

Being ready is not the same as being prepared! I like to scuba dive also and one thing that is always stressed is, have a dive plan and dive the plan. Now you can plan all you want but some times things do go wrong, but if you have the right plan you can minimize any problems that arise. The right hunting gear to take with you when hunting is a plan. Remember you have a loaded weapon, take your time know what you are aiming at. Have a great time come, home safe enjoy the outdoors and I hope you get your trophy or at the least some great stories.

Yacht Broker - Selecting the Right One To Sell Your Yacht

How do I choose a yacht broker to sell my vessel? How do I come across the correct yacht broker to sell my yacht? These are questions that you as a vessel owner might ask when it is time to sell your boat. In my transactions with sellers, I find that most, if not all of them had no idea when deciding on the brokerage to represent them. Their preference was made arbitrarily it seems. When you are ready, you need to find a decent yacht brokerage that you can trust. Some of the points that you should ponder are honesty, value and ability.

A yacht is a huge expenditure and numerous people prefer to buy one from a yacht brokerage. A brokerage sells boats to interested parties for a commission. Clearly, before you consider which one to go with when selling, you will need to be familiar with the commission amount that they charge; it is a standard 10% in the business.

Obviously, you want to look for honesty in a yacht broker. No one desires to do business with a dishonest person in any manner, but some people are extremely dishonest without seeming to be. Investigate the history of the brokerage and ensure that there are no complaints filed against them. The brokerage should be competent when it comes to knowing how to price your yacht. Your yacht brokerage should have a good feel of the market and how much to value your boat.

Always look for skill in a yacht brokerage. They should have been in the industry for some time. The longer, the better, clearly as this indicates they're able to stay in business. They will not only have the ability to sell your boat at a decent price, but also have the ability to come across the perfect yacht if you are looking to acquire another one from a broker.

In order to find the top yacht brokerage, you must shop around. Speak to several people until you get at ease with one. Request and call up references. Never do business with a brokerage that is assertive or insists that you sign a contract that you do not comprehend. These legal documents are binding. If you do not understand the listing agreement, seek legal counsel. In addition remember that buying a vessel is similar to purchasing a home. You will want to screen the organization as you would a home brokerage firm.

Here are some questions to pose while searching for the best yacht brokerage. Use this list to establish which Broker is best for you. I have included my answers to each question.

Do you co-broke with other Brokers who might have a buyer that could purchase my boat? Can I obtain it in writing? It is in our listing agreement; we constantly co-broke with other Brokers. If you cannot get it in writing the broker is more worried about his commission; you could potentially lose out on a deal.

How accessible are you going to be to me, buyers and other Brokers? We make phone calls regularly to other Brokers and wait to hear back from them. My Blackberry and laptop are at all times on; you can contact me if you need to; buyers can too!

Shopping ATV Tires

There is nothing as fun as having an ATV. Still, many ATV owners do not realize the value of the sort of ATV tires that are on their fun toy, and that tires can increase outdoor experiences or ruin them.

For example, in case you plan to take your ATV? Want to travel inside desert or during the mud? There's a difference in ATV tires, which are made for quite a few forms of off-road, and feel it or not, aren't the same. Many well-known tire manufacturers ATV tires, for example Goodyear, Firestone and Bridgestone, between many others. Some are cheap, while others may perhaps eat part in this kind of big budget entertainment. However, finding the right tire to your needs takes a modest time and research.

Goodyear creates a excellent ATV tire known as the Goodyear Tracker Mud Runner ATV for fun within the mud, while the Maxxis tires produces tires for ones race iRazr. To clear space inside your pleasure-mobile, specially if you're off-road in rocky environments, the Lifter up of the tire that is right up your alley, called Outlaw.

Have fun with your ATV techniques how the equipment for their needs, and though most ATV tires remained pretty well in most environments, if you are serious about off-road driving, you need to pay the buy tires right for a variety of varieties of terrain.

Most ATV owners begin converting their machines nearly just before they are able to park from the garage following purchase, and whilst numerous men and women start off parts and components, motor control, intelligent, ATV owner will begin with tires. After all, if your tires aren't right for your specific field you are riding no matter how numerous horses have.

Security is also an important issue, given the ATV tires, and it's crucial to understand the sort of surface you intend to drive, and that's driving the car. Are you going to ride over a soft ground or mud or even snow? Are you going to stick on the ground, or you intend to participate in hill climbing or competitions that need multi-terrain obstacles?

Make certain that whatever kind of tire, or set of ATV tires that you just purchase for your machine fits rims properly. Make sure the tire width you desire will fit the rim, mainly because if your tires are as well narrow, it's going to come off the edge and be dangerous to your riders. Given the sort of ground clearance you would like is something to appear like sculpture.

Riding your ATV can also be fun, but it is also serious business, security and protection of riders need to be your very first priority. If you are not familiar in your bike, find somebody who can offer clues and tips to assist you to purchase what you need. Previous to commencing the engine souping, ensure that the ATV tires on your machine is more than enough to your needs.

Mustang Sailing Supports Volunteers With Free Vhf Radio Courses

Mustang Sailing, one of the UK's top RYA recognised sailing schools, is showing its support for local National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) volunteers by offering free theory courses on VHF/DSC marine radio operation.

Since 2006, the East Sussex-based RYA practical and theory sailing course specialist has provided free VHF Radio training for local NCI volunteers. Following the recent announcement of further cuts to the safety at sea services, Mustang Sailing is urging more volunteers to take advantage of the course.

Principal at Mustang Sailing, Paul Stringer, said: "With the proposed closure of more than half of the UK's 18 24-hour coastguard centres and cancellation of the Emergency Towing Vessel service, the pressure on the NCI to recruit and train more volunteers to open more stations has significantly increased. I wanted to be able to reward their hard work with some of the valuable training they will inevitably need."

The free one day course on VHF/DSC marine radio operation will provide volunteers with an essential Short Range Certificate (SRC), the minimum qualification required by law to operate a VHF radio fitted with DSC, and enable them to achieve 'Declared Facility Status'. This is an essential part of allowing the charity organisation to communicate with sea going vessels, the HM Coastguard and RNLI and therefore play a full and active role in ensuring sea safety.

Over the past five years, many volunteers from NCI Newhaven have already completed a course courtesy of Mustang Sailing. Watchkeeper, Neil Tourle, said, "As we are a voluntary organisation with limited funds available, we really appreciate the help we get from people like Paul at Mustang Sailing. The free training he provides is more important than ever in the current climate and vital to NCI Newhaven's successful operation."

Since 1994, NCI has opened more than 40 fully operational stations, manned by over 1,700 volunteers, eight of which are located throughout the South East. NCI watchkeepers work closely with the HM Coastguard and RNLI and are trained to 'spot, plot and report' a casualty.

Sports Domes: Past, Present and Future

Sports domes are catching on rapidly in our day and age. Read all about them here, from their history to their likely future.

** The Beginning of Sports Domes **

Although playing sports in the mud, rain, sleet, rain or in intense heat and sunlight, it can be quite a spectacle for TV observers in their nice, warm, dry, comfortable living rooms, but it can be quite another story for athletes and spectators braving the elements in their cold, metal seats and whatever jackets/coats, hats, gloves, etc. they remembered to bring with them, if they brought anything at all above the usual sport attire (face paint, sports t-shirts, etc.). And sports uniforms not designed for cold, wet weather aren’t much help for those athletes who sometimes stand still or in a puddle.

Then someone came up with the really good idea to house sporting events inside a temporary (i.e. easy to set up and take down at any time) structure to protect the players and audience without breaking the bank like a permanent structure might, or damaging the environment like a brick and mortar building might.

Soccer (European football) was one of the first sports played inside sports domes, with unlimited length restrictions and huge 1,000 foot width restrictions. And many other sports are catching on now as well. It is an exciting time for sports fans, both players and fans.

** How Air Domes Work **

Air domes (or Bubble structures) are kept "inflated" for maximum interior space and minimum obstructions from supporting columns by maintaining positive air pressure. That way, air is constantly pushing on the walls from within, keeping the structure inflated and also full of air that can be fresh, recycled, air conditioned or heated, or any combination.

Sports domes can also be not only portable, but also custom made to suit virtually any venue such as:

- Music concerts
- Riding arenas
- Sporting events (soccer, golf, baseball, tennis, volleyball, etc.)
- Entertainment venues
- Religious events
- Or almost any other possible venue (use your imagination, and don’t let anyone say it can’t be done!)

Size is also almost no limit, with some air domes in Russia as large as three football fields used or church services. And there are plans to build domes that will be large enough to cover an entire golf course! That’s really big! And why not go even larger? As technology improves, and popularity and demand increase, sports domes will continue to get even larger and larger to satisfy such demands and inspire even more creativity to continue to push the technological envelope still more and more.

** How Air Domes Are Put Together **

Usually, sports domes are constructed from one piece in a matter of a mere few days at a site that has been prepared beforehand. Before you know it, you’ll be filling your sports domes with hundreds, or perhaps even thousands, of paying and/or happy spectators.

Inflatable Sports Domes are perfect for nearly any outdoor activity where you desire a controlled environment indoors.

** Advantages of Sports Domes Over Other Methods **

Sports domes are much faster to set up and more effective than laying tarps. But it took a while for them to really catch in technologically. But now they are becoming more popular all over the world. Some sports domes don’t even require airlocks anymore, removing the need to take great care to open the tent large doors without the possibility of collapsing the tents due to an inability to keep the airflow up to its required level. High-volume fans can keep the air flow up to par while loading doors are wide open.

And air domes can also save electricity for lights, being translucent to allow sunlight into the otherwise dark or artificially lit environment. New technological advances will also continue to make sports domes a better and better idea as time goes on.

** The Best of Both Worlds **

Some sports domes are now being combined with traditional brick and mortar buildings in the twenty first century, making a building that has unique and attractive features, having benefits of both types of structures and flexibility/adaptability of the two very different design types. Plus, it can be a real eye catcher and attractor for many visitors.

Use These Tips For Golf To Improve Your Skills

Playing golf requires patience. Getting a perfect shot at the golf ball requires the mind and body to be in perfect synchronization. Reaching this level requires practice, with players getting better with each shot. If you would like to be a better golf player, then follow the tips in this article.

A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to consider changing your practice environment. This can be helpful because sometimes all it takes is a change of scenery for you to either notice a way to improve your game or get yourself out of a rut. Even if you have to travel farther, it may just be worth it.

Buy your golf clubs from a reputable professional sports shop. The staff in the shop will be able to give you expert advice about which golf clubs will be best for your game and your frame. If you buy golf clubs online instead, you will not be able to hold the clubs before you buy then and returning the clubs could be expensive, if you have to pay the shipping charges.

A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to make sure that you do not even attempt to play a round of golf on a course until you are at least competent at hitting the ball. This is important because you will save yourself much frustration and embarrassment by doing so.

If you are faced with a bunker shot from wet, packed sand, and you are close to the green, consider forgoing your sand wedge for one with a higher loft. Using a lob wedge or other aggressively angled club will allow you a better chance to slice through the wet bunker and land your shot safely on the green.

Good golf shoes can be a major investment, so take good care of them. Don't just toss them in the bottom of your closet all muddy and expect to whip them into shape for your next round. Clean your golf shoes before putting them away, and be sure to store them with shoe trees to help them maintain their shape.

It is absolutely vital that each golfer understands the basic water hazard rules before heading out onto the course. Knowing how you play after you hit into a water hazard marked by yellow stakes (regular water hazard) or red stakes (lateral water hazard) can make a huge difference in your final score.

If you need to make a longer than normal bunker shot, try taking a nine iron instead of a sand wedge. By taking a nine iron you increase the distance you are able to carry the ball out of the sand and decrease the likelihood that you will skull the ball by taking a sand wedge and swinging too hard.

Many golfers complain about hooking their shots. This is due to a closed club face, and when hit the ball goes to the left. It takes practice, but in order to stop hooking your shots, open up the club face and try to pay extra attention to connecting with the ball properly.

When you step up to address the ball, imagine the exact location where you want it to land. Visualization can help you get the ball where you want it to go. Once you have a clear picture in your mind's eye, step up, assume your stance and address the ball.

In conclusion, in order to play golf well, you must have patience. The mind and body must be in perfect sync to land the perfect shot. This level of synchronization and better play can only be reached with practice. By following the tips in this article, you can be a better golfer.

How To Perfect Your Skill In Playing Lacrosse

Lacrosse is a fast moving sport, and it is also fast growing. If you or someone you know yearns to learn how to play lacrosse, the following procedures briefs you on the basics of this sport. But first, let us take a good short look about lacrosse.

Each opposing teams on a lacrosse field is composed of 10 players, so a field has a total of 20 players. Each team is composed of 3 attackmen, 3 middies, 3 defensemen and 1 goalie.
A game is divided into 4 quarters like basketball, and like all other games, the team scoring the most points at the end of the game emerge as winner.

A player earns a score by shooting the ball from their stick’s pocket into the opponent team’s goal.
The lacrosse ball is a solid rubber ball about the size of a baseball.
An opponent team can dispossess you of your ball either by hitting you with their stick or with their body. A player has to cradle to prevent the ball from falling out.
It is important that a middie make an outside shooting. The defense can shift their game completely if threatened by a good outside shooting.
A player who has the ball can get past the defenseman by using different dodges such as face doge, split dodge, and bull dodge.

The procedures below outlines step by step the proper way of playing lacrosse.

CHOOSING YOUR STICK. A branded lacrosse stick is quite expensive. If you just want to learn how to play, go to your local sports store, where a basic stick won’t cost you as much as a branded stick. There are three main components of a stick. The Head- this is the piece at the top of the stick used for controlling the ball. The Mesh- this is the rope suff inside the head, also known as the stringing. Finally, The Shaft- it was traditionally made out of wood, but nowadays they are made of strong metal alloys and have varying weights and strength. If your right hand is your good hand, put your left hand on the bottom and right hand on top. Switch for your left hand.

LEARN HOW TO CRADLE. A necessary skill that is important to lacrosse is cradling, which is the equivalent of dribbling in basketball. Cradling is the technique of getting past the defense man without him taking the ball out of your stick. Use centripetal force to keep your ball in place by a curling motion with your wrist. This is best done in front of a mirror while starting. Place the ball in your pocket (the area where the ball sits in your mesh) and hold your dominant hand a few inches below the head. Begin with the head facing the mirror so you can see the ball. Now bring the head across your face while curling the wrist. Keep practicing until you are get used to it. If you find it hard to get the hang of it, try watching some lacrosse dvds until you are familiar with all the game’s moves and techniques.

LEARN TO PASS. In lacrosse, passing is one of the most critical skills to succeed in the game. Passing is used to move the ball up field, catch your opponent out of position while hitting your teammate for an assist, or get yourself out of pressure. Make the head next to your ear and ruffle your wrist of your top while pulling your bottom hand towards you. Don't let it hook around your neck. Be sure to go through with the motion. Eventually, you will get used to how your stick throws and can then adjust the way you throw to be more accurate. You can imp[rove your skills in lacrosse by is getting to a brick wall and playing "wall ball." stand a few feet from the wall and throw the ball against it. Practice catching as the ball bounces back towards you.

BE A GOOD CATCHER. Catching is about hand-eye coordination. Catch the ball in your stick and make sure you don't cradle as it enters your stick. This is called cradle catching and is done by beginners. Instead of cradling, just release your grip on your top hand and as the ball enters the stick give and ease the ball into the stick. Again, wall ball practice is recommended.

GAMES ARE WON AND LOST IN GROUND BALLS, that's a fact. While approaching the ball step to it place your foot near the ball. Sink your hips and put your head parallel to the ground. The butt of your stick have to get down low as well. Scoop through and bring the head to your face. Immediately look for an outlet to a team mate.

PASS, CATCH. AND CRADLE USING BOTH HANDS. Using both hands requires patience, and you have to practice over and over again to learn this skill. A good way to improve your off-hand skills is to look at what your dominant hand is doing. Mirror the way you are passing. Go through the same motions. After doing this, spend a week of practice using nothing but your non-dominant hand. During line drills, 6v6, fast break, only use your off-hand. This will be very frustrating, but keep doing it. It will go a long way in improving your skills.
