upgrade in a short time

Many people believe that bunt too cumbersome, not happy, a short distance where
there are so many different angles, terrain, there are different clubs from
different grass or grass on the playing out of the ball, there will be so many
different results ... .... The real master of golf or golfers to National Cheng
Kung University, when observed in the bunt, analyzing, thinking distance, terrain,
quality of the grass, wind and other "details", blend with the natural world. At
this time, his whole body covered with sharp tentacles, are generally golfers can
be compared.
    The fact is, whether you are just starting a "rookie", or the ball has 30
years of age "veterans", despite how we train hard, you want to swing on the
abruptly increased by 30 yards, this opportunity is almost zero. "Bunt" is just
the opposite, that there is no physical effort restrictions, anyone can learn, the
more we learn the more clever, no end. Bunt is the epitome of a long fight, the
emphasis is on "sensitive antennae" in the swing, its balance, rhythm, time to
figure out the trick to get almost all relatively easy to grasp. Enhancing the
bunt, hit inadvertently will long leaps and bounds. Experiments show that, after
half an hour to practice with 40 to 50 yards between the Pitching, and then No. 1
wood long play, the ball than the rate of wood to practice the same time much
higher.

easy to score

If we are to rival professional tournament training camp, or in any game is to
teach before the big circle, you will find players around the greens to practice
bunt than "Tee" put up a long ball to practice only a few more people to play a
lot. Because the pros know that bunt in a game is the key to victory. Ignore the
importance of bunt not able to focus on immediate, easy to score on a bunt, which
is the true "far away."
    Each of us proud, standing in line always want to serve Fengfengguangguang
pretty much hit a ball, the ball fly farther course, the more imposing look. So
that we get high natural caddy clap, came in behind us and so if the ball is also
called out the fellow say "beautiful", then we hope Gusheng Wei is, between the
gestures are tiger wind up. Is it actually shook the arena of golf every Open
champion can play the ball 300 yards away  Or these world-class masters who are
not far off the tee  Is wrong! If you close bunt martial artists, 230 yards of the
weak who can still hit killing 280 yards of strong batters deserted them, and
eventually won the championship, won the prize, and the throne.

Golf foul anecdote 2

called the provisional low tide

Failure of improvement in golf skill or the lower golf score than usual is called the provisional low tide on skill. Only when you take efforts to practise but without getting an appropriate score, Taylormade R9 Driver can be called the provisional low tide, however, the low score caused by lack of practice is not within this range. Here are some causes for this tough time, and also the methods to get rid of it.
1) Having No Knowledge of Your Incorrect Practice
Perhaps you continue to practise in one way, having no awareness that the ball's location and your grip have changed a little, however, the whole stroke actually have been affected by the little changes, thus your score is low. Do not randomly change any part of the whole swing without finding the real reason. Thus, Taylormade r7 irons is good for you to have a professional coach who can examine your swing every three months.
2) Improving Your Swing Just Partly
You may have found a more advantageous way of swing, however, if you just apply a part of Taylormade r7 TP irons to your swing, the improved part may be not able to integrate into the whole swing and consequently your score decreases

Filipovic has lost two in a row heading

He remains one of the sport’s most popular fighters despite a decidedly average record in the last four years. Filipovic has lost two in a row heading into his heavyweight bout Saturday against Roy Nelson on the main card of UFC 137 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, and likely needs a win to keep his job.

Filipovic has always had a stoic demeanor, but there has been the perception among many since he joined the UFC after leaving the now-defunct Pride Fighting Championship that he was doing little more than going through the motions.

However, nobody can accuse him of that heading into his bout with Nelson.

A reporter prefaced a question about whether he’d be able to regain his past success by noting “you’re not an old man.” Filipovic, though, misheard the question, and he reacted quickly.

“Are you saying I’m an old man?” he asked, his voice flaring angrily.

He’s only 37, old for a fighter, perhaps, but definitely not an old man. And Filipovic, who is only 6-5 with one no contest since leaving Pride, doesn’t feel like he’s an old man.

Argentina's Scola 'nervous' over NBA conflict

BUENOS AIRES - The Argentine basketball player Luis Scola on Monday said he is "very nervous" due to the ongoing lack of clarity surrounding a conflict in the US National Basketball Association (NBA) conflict which has caused him not to play.
Scola, 31, a power forward player of the NBA Houston Rockets, said he would not rule out the possibility of playing for an Argentine team until the lockout set by the NBA is resolved but agreed it would be unlikely as he would "run into an insurance problem."
"It is a complicated period. At first, it seemed almost fun, but now I am becoming very nervous and I want the conflict to be solved," he said about the conflict in the main basketball league in the world.
Scola also said he had not put any date as to when he will define what to do about his future and pointed out that he "likes to play in the NBA"  but that he cannot "be months without playing basketball."
"I need to be in shape and competing. I don't feel like going to the other side, make my family adapt to another country, adapt myself to other rules, another coach. I am not used to it," said the former partner of the Chinese player Yao Ming in the Houston Rockets.

China's youngest swimming world champ eyes Olympic gold

NANCHANG, China - Ye Shiwen is already China's youngest ever (long-course) swimming world champion, but the 15-year-old girl has an even more ambitious goal.
With the 2012 London Olympics looming, Ye hopes that she could add to her biography soon another item - the country's youngest Olympic title-holding swimmer.
"Every athlete wants to become an Olympic champion. And, of course, I am no exception," Ye told reporters on the sidelines of the ongoing 7th Chinese National City Games, a quadrennial event held for athletes aged under 20 and seen as a seedbed for future Olympians.
Ye won the women's 400 individual medley Monday night with a scorching fast time - 4 minutes 33.66 seconds, standing second only to Elizabeth Beisel's 4:31.78 this year. That effort bettered Ye's 4:35.15 from the world championships in Shanghai in July, and clipped Ye's personal best of 4:33.79 set as the Asian Games last November. She remains 10th in the all-time rankings behind Yana Klochkova's 4:33.59 from 2000.
But, in the 200m individual medley, in which she was the reigning world champion, Ye clocked in 2 minutes 10.01 seconds, well off her top-ranked time of 2:08.90 from the Worlds.
"I need to work on my breaststroke and butterfly skills," said Ye.
Freestyle is considered Ye's leathal weapon as it was her freestyle that made the difference in the Shanghai Worlds. The much talked teenager, on a 29.42 freestyle anchor, won the 200 IM in 2:08.90 to become the first woman under 2:09 in textile, beating a star-studded field including defending champion and world record holder Ariana Kukors and Australia's Olympic champion Stephanie Rice.
Ye took only one day off after the Worlds and had a 50-day training spell in Australia before heading for the National City Games.
"The training days in Australia were really harsh, but it was really helpful," she said.
Ye started swimming after her kindergarten teacher noticed she had large hands, which is an added advantage in the sport. In 2007, she made it to the Zhejiang provincial swimming team and the following year she was selected to the national team.
