To quickly lower the scores you post I suggest that you first improve your thinking, both as you practice as well as when you play.

improve your thinking in your practice by getting a better concept of what it is you want the body to do as you hit the ball. improve your play by practicing the scoring shots from 50 yards in as you simultaneously train your body to hit these easy swinging shots more perfectly.

improve your thinking on the golf course by being realistic in planning your shot so that every shot you play is easily within your capabilities. Perhaps this means not hitting a driver where there is even a small chance of having it get you in the kind of trouble that you could not easily get out of. Perhaps dropping down to a fairway wood could still get you into the same trouble? In that case why not hit the club that you are absolutely, positively sure that will not get you into trouble. Why not use the same thought pattern on your approach shots, play safe predictable shots and lower your scores by thinking in a chess player manner.

You may be surprised to find that 2 5 irons will get you to within 50 yards of most par 4s and perhaps on to the greens of the shorter ones. If you study my ezine articles on the short game and use the short game actions to program your full swing you may be surprised to find how good you can get from 50 yards in.

Perhaps laying up short of the green and chipping on when you would have to hit the ball very well to stay clear of a lake or a menacing bunker. If you chip and pitch as well as I want you to you will still have a good chance of getting a par or even a birdie.

Thinking is the key to this game, improve your thinking and you will improve your play.

Travel to any part of the world, but you will not find a country which has more diverse and good looking golf clubs than India. After Great Britain, India was the first country to take up the game of golf. The first golf club was set up in India was in the year 1829. It was the Royal Calcutta golf Club in West Bengal. Since then, golf has been an integral part of Indian sports. Many professional golf courses have come up in almost all parts of India. Be it the heights of Himalayas, shores of Arabian sea, congestions of cities, or sands of deserts, there are golf courses suited to different moods and tastes of golfers. Even the number of professional tournaments throughout India are on the rise.

India always likes to keep a distinction for itself, no matter whether the aspect is good or bad. Similar is the case with golf as well. India has the oldest golf course in the world outside the Great Britain, the Royal Calcutta golf course in West Bengal and also the highest in the world, Gulmarg golf course in Jammu and Kashmir. The one in Gulmarg is an absolute treat for any golfer. Teeing off amidst the backdrop of lofty Himalayas and the pine covered surroundings is definitely a special experience. Such is the charm of the place that you spend half the time admiring the beauty, sometimes making golf secondary. Such magnificent Courses have made golfing in Jammu and Kashmir extremely pleasurable. Then there are golf courses that are not placed in such beautiful locations. But the way are planned, compensate more than enough for the missing natural beauty. These are called Designers golf Courses. The surroundings might turn out to be an eyesore, but once you step inside the premises, rest assured, you will have to hold onto your jaw to stop it from falling down. Dotted with well placed lakes, pools and bunkers, these golf courses are challenging as well as fun. Jaypee Greens golf Resort in Noida, Uttar Pradesh is a perfect example of a designer course. It is the longest course in India and at 7343 yards from championship tee, it is probably amongst the longest in Asia as well.

There are many tournaments that are held in India. The most recently concluded Noida open Amateur series that was held in Noida golf course was a major success. Many other main tournaments like Western India Amateur and RCGC Cup are lying ahead in the calendar year of 2007. Few things have changed exceptionally during last few years. One definitely is the quality of the players. Many Indian players like Jeev Milkha Singh and Arjun Atwal have made their mark on the international circuit as well. Other things that have changed the face of the Indian golf is the prize money that is offered now to the winners as compared to earlier times and the participation of women. There are many tournaments for women as well that are gaining much needed recognition.

India is a magnificent country that offers something unique and something that interests one and all. Get more information on golf Sports in India on http://www.indialine.com/travel/jammukashmir/golf.html

The recent health claims that wines have antioxidants in them that may block free radicals, prevent heart disease, cancer, and other conditions associated with aging seems to have some validity. Polyphenol, catechin, and cholesterol-reducing resveratrol are found predominately in red wines in various degrees. One suggestion as to why some of these antioxidants are present in red wines is that grapes that have been distressed during their growth will exhibit the highest level of antioxidants. Red-skinned grapes seem to have better growing success in less temperate climates but exhibit the effects of stressful weather conditions in the form of higher levels of resveratrol. Before all you wine enthusiasts start shouting, I told you so! let me point out that many of the same antioxidant benefits can also be found in dark beers, too.

What low-carbohydrate dieters are most concerned about with wine, however, is its carbohydrate count, loosely a function of the wine's residual sugar content. Although residual sugar levels are often made available by vintners and are a good indication as to the possible dryness or sweetness of a wine (the higher the number, the sweeter the wine), we cant, unfortunately, extrapolate the carbohydrate count of the wine from this figure without a full lab analysis.

Some wine-related Web sites say that there are no carbohydrates in dry wine, a glaring example of people who have no idea of the mechanics of fermentation. The process of converting sugars to alcohol and carbon dioxide during fermentation is limited by the attenuation of the yeast or the manipulation of the fermentation by the vintner. In order for a wine to have no carbohydrates in it, it would have to be pure alcohol, in other words, distilled. Of course at that point, the liquid would no longer be wine, but brandy or cognac. Alland I repeatall wines, including dry wines, have some residual sugar left behind after the fermentation process ends. Residual sugar equals carbohydrates. If it were possible to use fermentation to convert a sugary liquid into a drink that was free of carbohydrates, the process of distillation would be a meaningless procedure. Only after distillation, when the resultant liquid is transformed into ethyl alcohol (ethanol), will a once-fermented liquid truly become carbohydrate-free.

You might notice while shopping for wine that some fruit-blended wines actually carry a nutritional analysis statement on them. For any wine with an alcohol content of less than 7% by volume, the Food and Drug Administration actually has jurisdiction over the nutritional labeling of the product. However, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has jurisdiction over the mandated government warnings that are also found on the labels of these wines and of all alcohol-based products. This is one of the few times that the FDA gets involved in the realm of spirited beverages with the TTB. Youll also find nutritional information on ciders under 7%.

What kind of a margin of error does the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau allow in the measurement of carbohydrates in wine? From the TTB ruling: Statements of carbohydrates and fat contents [on wine labels or advertising materials] are acceptable provided the actual carbohydrate or fat contents, as determined by ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the former alcohol trade regulatory agency) lab analysis, are within a reasonable range below, but in no case more than 20% above, the labeled amount.

If you're on a low-carbohydrate diet and enjoy the occasional pressings from the noble grape, the following list of wines with their carbohydrate counts should help you keep your daily carb intake in check:

Exactly how serious is global warming? Is it just a mild problem, or is the whole planet doomed because of it? Or does the truth lie somewhere in the middle? On the other hand, is the whole thing just a hoax?

Climate Cycles

There are a few nearsighted experts, especially certain politicians, scientists, and even journalists, who claim that global warming is just a hoax perpetrated by overzealous environmentalists and their supporters, but I say it's these pseudo-experts who have their heads up the ozone hole. These colorblind experts say that the main cause of the problem has been simply due to extensive climate cycles, which means for millions of years there have been various temperature fluctuations; some may last several hundred years, others several thousands of years or so. They claim that these high and low fluctuations are the primary reasons that account for what we call global warming. Although there is definitely truth to this reasoning, this is not the only factor.

Scientists have used various methods to determine the state of Earth's climate back into ancient times, such as glacier extension, ice cores, the remains of pollen, reading the rings in trees, and studying ocean sediments, to name a few. I'm not sure how reliable these methods are, but I think they at least give us a ballpark figure.

Let's take a look at these crazy climate cycles. Experts say there have been four major ice ages on the Earth. The last one began forty-million years ago and ended ten-thousand years ago, but since then there have been fluctuations in glaciation, which means sometimes glaciers and ice caps advanced and sometimes they retreated. Then the planet basked during the Medieval Warm Period from the 10th century to the 14th century, approximately. After which it shivered through the Little Ice Age between the 16th and 19th centuries. These are rough approximations of course, because some experts may add or subtract a century here or there, due to gradual increase or decrease in climate change. These two periods are roughly four-hundred year cycles each. The so-called Little Ice Age was a general cooling down of the Northern Hemisphere, but some glacial expansion ensued and in many parts of the world severe winters developed.

However, as this period tapered off, temperatures have begun to rise ever since, especially when the Industrial Revolution impacted parts of the globe. This is when things began to heat up very nicely. In fact, it is estimated that during a general two-thousand year period before 1850, it is believed that the planets temperature levels have been basically stable, although there have been limited fluctuations. Let's put two and two together: around 1850 we can see the rise of the Second Industrial Revolution, where we observe the beginnings of our emitting toxins into the atmosphere. At this time the railway systems were underway, plus the chemical industry was increasing, and the refining and distributing of petroleum. When the automobile industry began and skyrocketed in the early 20th century, fossil fuels initiated a major rise in CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Coincidence? Or is there some connection between these artificial aberrations and the rise of global warming? I believe it's blatantly nearsighted to declare that only fluctuating climate cycles are the main factor.

Vanishing Islands

In spite of these changing global cycles, there are still obvious signs that something is going wrong on this planet. For instance, awhile back I was listening to the Coast-to-Coast-A.M program on KNAX, AM Radio, and heard a story explaining that approximately forty low-lying islands and atolls had been swallowed up by the Pacific Ocean in the last few years, and that on other vanishing islands about ten-thousand people had to evacuate, particularly the atoll nation of Tuvalu. It was predicted that more islands will be submerged over time. Isnt this highly abnormal?

Okay, I double-checked this information with several other sources. Lohachara Island near the Bay of Bengal was completely swallowed. The low-lying islands of Vanuata in the Pacific and the Maldives in the Indian Ocean are being threatened by the ocean and may soon be swallowed up. Inhabitants of such islands and atolls are evacuating continually because the oceans are in the process of submerging them.

Some sources say this phenomenon is clear evidence of global warming, whereas others say the islands were submerged due too typical storm surges, and particularly from devastating tsunamis. But wouldn't that mean waters would eventually level out and those islands would return to normal? Evidently that's not happening. To my shock and awe, some anti-global-warming pseudo-experts even declared there have been no rise in sea levels while these islands were vanishing, whereas our intelligent global warming experts claimed there have been continual rises in sea levels, and that the sea levels continue to rise. So, who are we going to believe? Which of these expert experts should we listen to? If you've ever watched CSI, they say, "Follow the evidence." And I believe we're seeing a lot of evidence to global warming!

Glacial Meltdown

It seems obvious to me that when glaciers and ice caps start melting, water levels of the oceans will rise; causing low-lying islands to be wallowed up. And when we start seeing water creeping up along our coastlines, I think we're really going to start getting concerned.

Here are some facts. The snows of Mt. Kilimanjaro have been disappearing year by year. Glaciers are literally shrinking. The Arctic ice cap has decreased in size by 40% in approximately forty years. Reports project that in fifty to seventy years it will shrink down to nothing. The ice sheets in Antarctica are breaking up into big pieces and falling into the ocean, so the southern ice cap is shrinking back also. If all the ice in Antarctica vanishes, sea levels across the world will rise twenty feet, reports say. And if the ice vanishes in Greenland, there goes another twenty feet! And then if the Arctic ice cap completely melts on top of that -- I think we'll have a serious case of Water World! Anyway, continents will begin to shrink and islands will literally disappear. Obviously, mapmakers will have to redraw the maps of the Earth. Actually, we would have a semi-water-world syndrome, because there's not enough water in the whole world to cover every bit of land. What a letdown! And to think I really enjoyed that movie!

Carbon Dioxide on the Rise

So what is causing all this Earth-heating? Why is our atmosphere rising in temperature toward boiling point? (Or is that an exaggeration? Actually, the whole matter makes my blood boil!) For one thing, CO2 levels keep rising on the Earth.

The extensive climate cycles are not the only causes of global warming, although they do have a significant impact to our climate changes. Global warming is also a factor of human-caused events more than anything else, especially in the last hundred years. In fact, reports state that CO2 levels were much lower in Medieval and even Ancient times, and we can go back several thousands of years further, compared to what they are now. Scientific experts have ascertained this information through ice core samples from frigid regions like Antarctica. This gives us clues into our distant past, via trapped air bubbles which have been there for several thousands of years. These ancient air bubbles contain varying levels of CO2, and scientists can compare these to the quality of air in present time. Clearly if the levels are extremely higher now than they were several thousand years ago, I think that's a pretty big clue.

Through the burning of solid waste, trees (such as rainforests), and especially fossil fuels, which involves products such as coal, oil, and natural gas, these items cause carbon dioxide (CO2) which are distributed throughout our atmosphere. These are caused by human activities, which is not a good sign that we're doing a good job as caretakers of the Earth. This was one of our original job descriptions when we were put here on this planet. I think we need to get our collective act together -- before it's too late.

When there is more carbon dioxide dumped into the air, temperatures rise higher, because it traps more of the sun's heat inside the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the CO2 levels are predicted to rise much higher in the future, as long as we keep dumping toxins into the air. Skeptics think all this is no big deal. It's the "So freaking what?" attitude. They either don't care or don't believe there will be any severe effects. These people have become lethargic, complacent, and uncaring. They would rather fatten their pocketbooks than care about our environment. These skeptics think we're suffering from the Chicken-Little Syndrome, running around crying that the sky is heating up. And of course Al Gore is considered one of the biggest alarmists today. Personally, I think we should be alarmed.

A large percent of global warming over the last half-century is due to increased greenhouse gases, and the largest source of this is from fossil fuels. Essentially, were talking about the creation of petroleum products. In other words, this is putting the spotlight on we the people who drive automobiles. We can add diesel trucks, motorcycles, airplanes, and other means of transportation. And of course there are numerous factories and oil refineries spewing poisons into the atmosphere. It's not pleasant to look at this ugly brown debris hanging in the air, otherwise known as pollution, but it's also not pleasant to realize all this atmospheric waste causes global warming.

Are we the people" going to do something about it? Or are we just going to sit back and say, "So freaking what?"
