So even I don't know what possessed me to make a red pepper version of hummus, but I did, and I loved it. That's right, Mom – I snuck red pepper into something all on my own! But this doesn't give you free reign over slipping eggplant into stuff. Just so we are clear. I love you, but still no eggplant or mushrooms or beans.
The other part of this story is that after whining like a nap-deprived toddler over the fact that I really don't like my perfectly good $20 blender, the Southern husband finally couldn't take it any more and showed up one day with a Vitamix.
And ever since I've been blending anything and everything I can think of. Including red pepper hummus.
This recipe will also work perfectly well in your food processor, but since I was such a pain in the neck about the whole blender thing I am using the Vitamix for everything from hummus to soup to cake. Yup, I made a banana cake with it the other day. Stay tuned to this channel for that one.
Back at the hummus, it's perfectly wonderful just as it is, but if you sprinkle a little paprika on it…well, you are pretty much transported to red pepper hummus heaven.
This concludes the very long and complicated saga behind this very quick and delicious recipe. Ladies and gentlemen, start your blenders!
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed well
- 1 clove garlic
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 ounces roasted red peppers (the kind in the jar)
- ½ teaspoon coarse salt
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- Put all ingredients except paprika in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add a tablespoon or two of water if you like your hummus a little creamier. Blend again.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with paprika and serve!

LEONARDO DiCaprio has moved his romance with Blake Lively up a gear — by buying her an eco-friendly motor.
The Inception star, 36, was said to be horrified his actress girlfriend had a thirsty Range Rover.
So eco-warrior Leo has given Blake, 23, a £25,000 black Prius. The hybrid petrol-electric car gets 50 miles to the gallon compared to 20 for a Range Rover.
Leo is known for pushing green causes. He arrived at the Oscar's two years ago in a Prius to highlight global warming issues. And last week it emerged he had bought a £60,000 hybrid supercar — the Fisker Karma.

Make a product you use, that improves peoples' lives.
Adam Rifkin stashed this in @nireyal

Nir extols the virtues of facilitation:
"When you create something that you will use and believe makes the user's life better, you're facilitating a healthful habit. It's important to note that only you can decide if you would actually use the service and what "materially improving the life of the user" really means."
Facilitation is the highest form of product influence:
1. You believe in something so much that not only do you make it, but also you use it.
2. The product materially improves users' lives.

UPDATE 1-Paulson sticks with bullish bets in gold ETF in Q4, others cut
By Frank Tang
NEW YORK Feb 14 (Reuters) - Hedge fund Paulson & Co maintained its stake in the world's biggest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, SPDR Gold Trust, in the fourth quarter, even as others exited when bullion prices posted their biggest annual loss in 32 years.
Well-known manager George Soros bought shares in Barrick Gold Corp, one of the world's top gold mining producers, while other institutional investors, including PIMCO, continued to cut their exposure to gold investments.
News that notable hedge funds held onto their gold holdings is expected to boost confidence among bullion investors, which has been shaken as the Federal Reserve began to trim its monetary stimulus amid a better economic outlook.
"The fact that hedge fund managers continue to hold gold bode well for investor sentiment towards the metal, especially since we've had such a strong start to the year," said Jeffrey Sica, chief investment officer of New Jersey-based Sica Wealth Management, which has over $1 billion in client assets.
Investors pay close attention to the quarterly filings by Paulson and other notable hedge fund managers because they provide the best insight into whether the so-called "smart money" has lost faith in gold as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty.
Since the beginning of the year, gold has gained nearly 9 percent, thanks to an equities retreat after last year's record run on doubts over the U.S. economic recovery and as emerging-market turmoil cast a shadow on global growth. In 2013, gold was down 28 percent.
"I am glad that Paulson is recognizing gold's fundamentals and (is) not influenced by these price movements," said Axel Merk, portfolio manager of California-based Merk Funds, which has more than $400 million in currency mutual fund assets. Continued...

Population Healthcare: Strategies to Survive a Brave, New Value-Based World
Dr. Jonathan Burroughs
Population health is not possible in a discounted fee-for-service world, and the significant healthcare business challenge is how to transition from fee-for-service to risk-based capitation in a sustainable way. The following represents an outline for how this transition can be staged so that early steps exploit the benefits of fee-for-service while the latter ones exploit a more capitated model:

How to Avoid a Clinical Fair Hearing
Dr. Jonathan Burroughs
Not too long ago, I had the sad task of testifying at a civil litigation and a judicial hearing for two physicians who had been suspended from their respective medical staffs. In both cases, the suspensions and resultant procedural rights were avoidable because proactive communication and management did not effectively take place. Such events should be rare and most medical staffs can easily avoid them by focusing on preventive actions and addressing potential performance issues early in a supportive and assertive manner.

The Regulatory Challenges Facing E-Health
Dr. Jonathan Burroughs
Regulatory hurdles prevent more hospitals from using e-health to its full potential. Federal and state policies and regulations on care rendered via technology from a remote site spin a tangled web for providers either engaged in e-health or who want to be. A February 2014 article in Health Affairs found strong associations between state policies and hospitals' adoption of e-health, also known as tele-health or telemedicine.

Strategies for Managing Alarm Fatigue on the Floor
Dr. Jonathan Burroughs
Alarm fatigue has moved to the forefront of hazards on the hospital floor. Nursing staff gets bombarded by hundreds or thousands of beeps, rings, whistles and pings emanating from bedside devices in a shift, and it can be difficult for them to distinguish the critical from the routine. An analysis of hospital alarms at Johns Hopkins Hospital counted a total of 59,000 alarms over a 12-day observation period, an average of 350 alarms per patient per day.1

Healthcare: Five Steps to Reform
Jon Wampler
When Congress recessed and members returned to their districts, they mostly heard, "Keep your hands off my healthcare!" In light of the government's recent inability to successfully establish, operate and pay auto dealers accurately and on time in a straightforward and seemingly simple process (cash for clunkers), what can we expect from a government bureaucracy charged with operating an extremely complex healthcare system that is neither straightforward nor simple?

|Re: [Java exception: 'loader,constraints violated when linking,org/apache/derby/iapi/store/access/StaticCompiledOpenConglomInfo,class: java.lang.LinkageError']
|Sun, 30 Oct 2005 20:56:03 GMT
Hi, In my experience, LinkageError is a symptom of a build issue or a classpath issue. It usually means that the methods defined in an interface are not defined in a class that claims to implement that interface. For example, if you build your application using version 3.0 of some library and then execute the program with version 4.0 of the library, where a method of the library has changed its signature. Or build with version 4.0 and execute with 3.0 that doesn't implement a method in the interface. A classpath issue might be if you have different versions of Derby available in Tomcat and some of the classes are from one version of Derby and some others from a different version. NoPutResultSet implements ResultSet. What you're describing would happen if you used a JDBC 3.0 ResultSet with a version of Derby that didn't support the JDBC 3.0 methods. But I don't know how that could happen. You mentioned that "I've started throwing...LinkageErrors". What changed in your environment between working ok and throwing Errors?

Threw out all my other shallow fry pans, this griddle is AWESOME.......nothing sticks, cleans up like a dream. Why didn't I get this griddle a long time ago?
I like this product but my one dislike is the handles. They prevent this product from sitting over two burners on my stove. I have to put it diagonally and this causes some areas to not be as hot. Otherwise it is great.
My son moved in with my husband and I for the summer before moving into his own home. He brought with him this griddle. He asked where he could store it and I said the top of the stove would be fine. We used it several times and pancakes and such came out perfect. Cleanup was a breeze. When he left I don't know which I missed the most,him or the griddle. :-) .I had to go out and buy one for our home. You won't be dissapointed.
This is the second one I've purchased. It has a hefty feel and an excellent nonstick surface. The cushioned handles make it easy to pick up and never a chance of getting burned. All the food I've prepared cooks evenly, and uses less heat than you normally use in a pan, plus it's large enough to accommodate the whole meal at once.
I used this griddle 4 times and when I went to use it the 5th time it was warped. I never put it in the oven, though the instructions say you can. I never heated it above the 5th heat level on a glass top stove with 10 heat levels. If you check on-line for others having problems you will find that warping was not unusual.

Aroma of coffee with a dash of franchise
Be it a mall, a high street, a college campus, an airport or hospitals, almost every coffee brand whether national or international has an outlet at all such locations. Past few years have seen coffee culture growing tremendously in India. So here we spil
Sub Editor
A single visit to a shopping mall, high street or a neighbourhood market, school, college, hospital or any public place makes us realise the growing popularity of coffee shops in India. The brands available are not just the local brands, rather lot of international brands have also managed to grab the share of coffee market in India. Whether it is a school or a college friends meet, an official interview/meeting or even sharing some moments of happiness with loved ones, the best place to meet is over a cup of aromatic coffee. Coffee shops have become the most popular places to relax after a grilling day at work. Not only are café shops pleasurable for working class, but it is heaven for shoppers who can rest their feet in a café after a hectic day of shopping. All these benefits have led a large number of national as well as international café chains to expand their network via the franchise route. Let us find out the factors that have encouraged the growth of café brands before reading about these brands and their success journey.
Encouraging factors
Dominance of youth segment: Beverages like coffee is especially preferred by youth. About 50 per cent of the county's population is 25 years or younger. This amounts to the growing popularity of cafes. This trend is sure to pick up in future because researches show that the youth population is expected to reach 55 per cent by 2015.
Increase in disposable income:Students get a higher pocket money to spend on cafes with their friends. Earning class also does not mind to spend a few extra bucks on having a delicious cup of coffee in comfortable ambience of a café.
Café's as a social hub: With coffee culture brewing up pan India, it has become a great social hub for all kind of people to chat and relax over a cup of coffee.
Increase in private offices: The increasing MNC culture has also helped in the popularity of café chains. Working professionals usually prefer to hang out at these places during their free time.
Low cost kiosks: The foremost factor for growth of coffee culture is its low cost benefits. Any interested entrepreneur can take a coffee kiosk due to low investment needed.
AG Puttaraj, President, Coffee Day Xpress said, "There is minimum risk involved in running a coffee franchise as coffee is a widely accepted drink and most people do prefer coffee. Moreover, it requires less investment and has minimum risk."
Availability factor: Café outlets or kiosks are available at mostly all places. Customers can also opt for 'take-away coffee' if they are running out of time due to its easy availability.
Growing coffee culture via franchising
Technopak Advisors, a Delhi-based research and consultancy firm has researched that out to 1,500 cafés in India around 1,000 have opened in the last five years. The organised café market, which stands at US$185 million, is estimated to be growing at a compound annual rate of 25 per cent. This shows that the café industry has been emerging rapidly in the last few years. In the last one decade many coffee players have emerged in India who took the franchise route for rapid expansion.
Manish Tandon, President, Citymax Hospitality Pvt. Ltd, Master Franchise for Gloria Jean's Coffees shares, "Domestic coffee consumption in India has increased significantly over the past 10 years, but there is still ample scope for growth, especially in terms of franchise operations. Gloria Jean's Coffees world class franchise model has proved very successful, with more than 1,000 coffee houses across 39 countries today. We saw an opportunity to translate this success to the Indian market under the Master Franchise business model."
Ghouse Mohiuddin, Managing Director, Café Desire said, "In 2008 we started getting enquiries from other parts of the country then we decided to go national-wide. On that front we thought franchising would be the best route to expand."
Coffee Day Xpress a division of India's largest coffee conglomerate, the Amalgamated Bean Coffee Trading Company Limited (ABCTCL) opted for the franchise route in 2003 and presently, it has a network of more than 600 franchisees pan India. It popularly operates through its kiosks which require 50-100 sq.ft area and a location that has high footfalls.
Gloria Jean's Coffees, is an Australia based company that partnered with Citymax Hospitality as its Master Franchisees has proved that the markets is ripe for international brand to foray in India. Gloria Jean's Coffees entered the Indian market in 2008 and is expanding across key cities. Currently, having 16 outlets the brand is looking to serve high quality coffee to the growing population of Indians. The brand has plans to rollout 200 outlets in the country by 2014.
Costa Coffee, a UK based coffee chain entered India through its Master Franchisee Devyani International (part of Jaipuria Group). Currently the brand is operating through 75 coffee outlets and plans to open around 100 more outlets in the near future taking its presence to every nook and corner of the nation. Coffee Beanz established in December 2001 at Kochi believes in serving more than coffee. The company opened a franchise outlet in Thiruvananthapuram recently. Café Desire originated in 1998, took to franchise route in 2008 after sipping success with company owned outlets. Regarding its expansion plans Mohiuddin says, "As of now we have 35 franchisees mostly in southern part of India and we have plans to take it 100 in the near future."
International players ready for foray
These are few of the brands which have become popular in café industry via the franchise route. Costa Coffee, Gloria Jean's Coffee are some international brands which have made their mark in India. However there are many players who are waiting to make a splash in the Indian landscape. US based Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts, London's Coffee Republic, Australia's Coffee Club and France's Alto Coffee are a few brands who are aiming for an Indian foray. In a recent development Dunkin' Donuts has announced its Master franchise agreement with north India-based Jubilant FoodWorks, which operates the Domino's pizza chain in India. Therefore the first Dunkin' store is expected to open in the first quarter of 2012. The target is to open 30 outlets in three years and increase to 100 in the next five years.
To conclude it would be apt to say that the Indian coffee market has grown tremendously in the past. The future is brighter with many other national and international brands ready for their entrance in this highly popular industry.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › SUL Pack Closures: Drawcord vs Velcro Roll-Top vs Buckle Roll-Top vs ??
May 2, 2011 at 5:24 pm #1273217
Here ThereBPL Member
I'm working on a Sil prototype for a SUL pack and am wondering what is your favorite style of closure for the top.
Right now I'm leaning towards drawcord (a la zpacks) or velcro roll-top (like the GG Murmur), but would love to hear of any other innovative ideas that might be out there.May 2, 2011 at 5:31 pm #1732199
Dan JohnsonMember
@seattleLocale: PNW
I would think drawcord would be the quickest but a roll top would allow to have the opportunity to carry a little more supplies when needed.May 2, 2011 at 6:03 pm #1732214
Jerry AdamsBPL Member
@retiredjerryLocale: Oregon and Washington
I like Velcro
If you fold the top over it's waterproof
If you want to get in the pack when it's wet, you unfold it and open the velcro and there's no wet fabric above the opening dripping into the pack
I've tried draw-cord but didn't find it as good in the rainMay 2, 2011 at 10:36 pm #1732318

SUL Buckles and closure a la Laufbursche huckePACK. Everything else is suboptimal.May 3, 2011 at 12:21 pm #1732485
Michael RayBPL Member
@topshotLocale: Midwest
Watched your video on packing it. Are the buckle straps long enough for when you might have the collar fully extended? They appear to be pretty far down the pack.
Other questions on the pack:
What type of expandable mesh are they using on the pockets? They seem to stretch forever.
Is the z-lite necessary since you also have the "burrito" mat inside for structure?May 3, 2011 at 1:41 pm #1732515
Eric ThompsonBPL Member
@er0ckLocale: PNW
i've been pondering this in some drybag TYPE setups i'm thinking of making.
i like the roll top with buckles down the side of the HMG windrider as others have implied as well:
one way to make this lighter may be with the types of lineloks with a hook and a grosgrain loop rather than a buckle on the sides…
maybe a loop of grosgrain on the two bag opening "corners". tie a length of paracord to this, down through the line-loks that hook to the gros-grain loops.
hope that makes sense.
i'm trying something like this for my small dry bags which don't really have the room for a roll, then clip the corners together type closure. in addition those buckles alone weigh more than a dry bag by itself.May 3, 2011 at 1:58 pm #1732522

@hikinggrannyLocale: Gateway to Columbia River Gorge
My pack (2005 model SMD Comet) has a velcro roll-top closure and I loathe it! Just try to get something knit or fleece anywhere near it without snagging it on the velcro! @!#$%&!!!
Since I have never used more than an inch or two of the extension collar anyway, I'm seriously considering whacking off the velcro and making a drawcord closure instead.
Just one person's opinion here….May 3, 2011 at 8:30 pm #1732686
Rakesh MalikMember
@tamerlinLocale: Cascadia
I'm with you on the velcro, honestly; I've been using my HMG Windrider as my commuting pack for a while now, and I also used it as my day pack on Kilimanjaro, and right now the velcro catching my fleece or wool is the only thing that I'd ask them to remove if I were getting another.
The rolltop + side buckles is nice though, it does ensure that the pack is waterproof.

Investing in real estate for some is second nature, while
others are just starting to build their real estate portfolios. It is true,
real estate doesn't have the liquidity of stocks and bonds. However, real
estate's longevity is the gem in the investment jewelry box. Some say the time
for investing in real estate has expired due to rising interest rates. Keep in
mind the rates are not high like they were in the 1980s.
Back then, investors
purchased properties at 14 to 18 percent. Those properties are now slowly being
paid off, and retirement without the reliance on social security is now in
sight for those same investors. Real estate market values are also expected to
rise as inflation increases. The stock market, now near its all-time high,
could correct to lower levels, possibly leading to more favorable perceptions about
the risks of real estate investment.
Potential investors are also looking at the Dodd-Frank
regulations as a possible roadblock, particularly regarding the stipulations
for seller financing. For example, the investor who seller finances can't gouge
the borrower with interest rates. However, the investor still has the potential
for receiving an interest rate above what is available from bonds or other
savings vehicles. There is also a limit of properties that can be seller
financed per year by the investment entity. Becoming familiar with the
guidelines will keep both sides of the transaction in check. This does not
sound like that big of a deal-breaker. Look at investment like any other
business. Using ethical and fair management practices builds your business's
integrity. What could be better than basing a business on these principles?
The rise and fall of real estate should also be considered
when discussing real estate investment. Remember that every investment has risks.
The savvy investor gives little consideration to the increase in interest rates
in today's market. Remember the 1980s investor? The beginning rates were truly high;
however, those investors took advantage of refinancing when the interest rates
dropped. Today is no different. Yes, the rates are rising a little, but they
are rising from historically low rates, so keep that in perspective. Here's the

Oil on red board panel painting of a sun-washed hillside in the heart of Europe, red poppies filling the meadow, a trailside shrine at center the focal point of the composition, signed at lower left by the well listed Slovak-Hungarian painter, LUDOVIT (sometimes "Lajos") CSORDAK (1864-1937). The painting, 18" by 20 1/2", is unframed. Csordak was born in Kosice, the largest city in eastern Slovakia, near the Hungarian border. His family was of limited means, and before age 20 he had already moved around, first to Budapest, then in 1883 to Munich; at this point Csordak was already receiving art instruction. From 1889 to 1895 he was at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague studying with Julius Marak. After 1908 Csordak remained in Kosice, painting, and instructing the next generation of artists. A painting sold for nearly ten thousand dollars at auction in 2009. This example will benefit from a cleaning and varnish, which will bring out the brushstrokes and luminous atmosphere. The panel is slightly bowed.

Project DescriptionFollowing an extensive master plan study, Phase 1 of this project has recently been completed.
This municipality operated its field services from several older and outdated facilities scattered around the city. These services include the Departments of Public Works and Parks and Recreation, plus other services such as Engineering, Fleet, Traffic and Transportation, Housing Services maintenance, satellite maintenance facilities, and other service uses. In order to develop interdepartmental teams and cooperation, and to realize organizational efficiencies (cost savings estimated at nearly $2M/year and $3M one time), these services have been consolidated and centrally located into a single campus location. This Phase 1 project contains 113,000 GSF. Ultimately, 397,000 GSF will be required to consolidate the various city departments into one facility.
Organizationally, the building contains essentially two components—administrative offices and operational facilities. The final solution adopted two strategies which formed the basis of the final layout. First, the lab and storage spaces were organized into 'saddlebags' flanking the large central vehicle storage bay. The represented an evolution in the layout of typical municipal facilities. Secondly, the administrative 'bar' was pulled away from the operational components and connected with two 'bridges'. This allowed light to penetrate into the center of the facility where otherwise there would typically be no outside access. A glass enclosed courtyard has thus been created as an amenity for the occupants of the building.
All materials used on the interior and exterior were chosen for both economy and durability and almost all are self-finishing, requiring little to no maintenance.

The Ocean City Nor'easters soccer team will travel to Austin, Texas, on Thursday for this weekend's United Soccer Leagues' Premier Development League semifinals.
Ocean City will meet the host Austin Aztex at 8:30 p.m. EDT Friday at House Park. The other semifinal, between Thunder Bay Chill, of Thunder Bay, Ontario, and Victoria Highlanders FC, of Victoria, British Columbia, will be played at 3:30 p.m. EDT Friday. The difference in time between the games is to avoid the late-afternoon heat.
The PDL championship game will be played Sunday at House Park. The PDL has 67 teams in the U.S. and in Canada.
"We're really excited, and it's a great honor to be in the Final Four," Nor'easters general manager Neil Holloway said Monday. "It's exciting to be two wins away from a national championship."
The Nor'easters beat the Ottawa Fury 3-1 Sunday in Ocean City for the PDL's Eastern Conference championship and to reach the semifinals for the first time in program history. Dwayne Reid, Frank Tweneboa and Max Tassano scored as O.C. took a 3-0 lead in the first half. Oceam City improved to 15-3-1 overall and 13-2-1 in the PDL. Ocean City, then known as the Barons, joined the league in 2003.
"Our goals at the beginning of the year were to have a good (Lamar Hunt U.S.) Open Cup, and we did that by playing the Philadelphia Union, and to win the Eastern Conference," Holloway said.
The Nor'easters lost to the Union, of Major League Soccer, 2-1 in extra time on May 28 in Chester, Pa., in the third round of the Open Cup.
Ocean City will practice today and Wednesday, and fly out of Philadelphia to Austin on Thursday.
The Aztex, 14-2-2 overall and 13-1-2 in the PDL, beat the visiting Laredo Heat 2-0 Saturday at House Park in the PDL Southern Conference championship game. The announced attendance was a franchise-record 2,673.
The Victoria Higlanders FC (10-2-4 in the PDL) beat the Portland Timbers U-23 1-0 Sunday for the Western Conference title. Thunder Bay Chill (14-1-1 in the league) blanked defending PDL champion Forest City London, of Ontario, 3-0 on Sunday for the Central Conference crown.

Maxi-Cosi Rodi SPS Booster Seat is rated out of 5 by 6.Rated 2 out of 5 by Granny4 from Ok-ish! I bought this seat because the old seat was a maxi cosi and has been amazing - I needed something light and non-Iso fix so I chose this. I wouldn't rush to buy another. The belt is difficult to feed through the bracket as the bracket traps it and it gets twisted. It's bit flimsy and not easy to adjust whilst in situ but it does the job so it's ok but not wonderful. It would have been helpful to have fitting instructions too.Date published: 2016-03-09Rated 4 out of 5 by bobbuy02156 from absolutely fine we didn't search around for lots of different chairs but this seems more than adequate for what is neededDate published: 2016-01-18Rated 5 out of 5 by Jjjjjjjjjj1234245 from Comfy soft seat Great price and very soft seat compared to other ones we've had that are too hard. Our child has been fine on a 2hr car journey.Date published: 2016-01-03Rated 5 out of 5 by 1madboiler from Great seat We chose the Rodi seat over the competitors because we have used Maxi Cosi since our little girl was born. My wife had an accident last year and she suffered a neck injury but our daughter was fine and safe in the maxi Cosi pearl seat. We looked at the isofix option on the seat but in the end the combination of secure seatbelt fixings and ease of moving the seat to different cars and positions in the car won through. Like all the maxi Cosi seats we have had cover is removable & washable which is huge bonus. My little girl is comfortable in the seat and it looks lovely in the raspberry colour we chose. Only downside we have had is the cover is bobbled already from my daughters Velcro shoe fastenings.Date published: 2015-09-21Rated 4 out of 5 by NDB1 from Maxi-Cosi Car seat Good quality value product. Narrow base ideal for sports/performance cars with narrow rear seats.Date published: 2015-09-10Rated 5 out of 5 by LadyTWB from Easy to install Great product to use after having used the maxi cosy with the isofix base, My grandson was very happy with the new seat finds it very comfortable. Much easier for me to use as only secured by car seat belt.Date published: 2015-07-22

Golf Tip of the Month
Do you want to play the best golf of your life this year?
If you are like the rest of us the answer is a definitive YES! Now that we are into spring season, I have put together a few tips for you to meet your goal this year.
1. REGRIP your clubs. Golfers should re-grip their clubs twice a year. Your hands hold
the grips and if you do not have good tacky grips you cannot
feel the club and feeling the club is crucial to playing good golf.
The Point Venture Golf Staff will re-grip your clubs for you for
only $3/club + the cost of the grips.
2. Get INSTRUCTION. There is no point in practicing, if you are not practicing the
proper techniques. All you are doing is ingraining the wrong
technique. Instruction does not mean that your entire golf swing
is going to be overhauled, maybe just a few tweaks to your
setup and a swing thought will get you on your way to the best
golf year of your life. Point Venture Golf Club Director of Golf,
Justin Orbin, who was voted "One of America's Best Golf
Instructors" is reasonably priced and would love to help you
improve your game.
3. STRETCH your muscles. I am not saying you have to have a full work out program
(although that wouldn't hurt), I am just saying to stretch
out your muscles in your back, legs, stomach, arms, and
shoulders. This will allow you to coil better which will
improve your swing path and your distance.
4. PRACTICE YOUR SHORT GAME. After you learn the proper techniques from
your golf instruction of course! At least half of
your shots take place within 20 yards of the
green and power does not matter from this
distance, so this will help everyone. Spend
twice as much time practicing in this area as
you do on the long game and I guarantee your
handicap will drop 5 shots!
Follow these simple steps starting this winter and you will have the best golf year of your life this year! Good luck and if you need any help with your game feel free to give me a call at (512) 267-2768 or e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will get started improving your game!
