Mr. Edward Biggs – Webmaster of the James Andrews School of Golf , himself, contacted me with an offer of a link exchange, explaining the benefits of incoming links to a website, which I totally agree with.  Let's take it a bit deeper and see if he is up for the LowCarb Golfer's shot of Turbo Linking, Arizona style.

Here is their pitch taken right from their homepage and what they have to say about themselves and their golf schools, although the concept of a "residential" golf school escapes me. I guess it just means you can stay there while you fiddle with your swing. From the looks of it I would have to say that the next time I was in the UK I would be heading over to see James for a golf swing tune-up. Read the rest of this entry »

He really must be bored to do what they say he has done with all those women. If he was a devoted husband and father he would not have done what he did. Even so, I really wasn't going to write anything about Tiger Woods that would appear on this blog. The rest of the world and the media is doing it's usual bang-up job of doing that. But then I read the statement he made on his website and I changed my mind.

One of the reasons that convinced me to write about what the rest of the world already seems to know is that Tiger's attitude is off base when he suggests that what he does in private has nothing to do with the public and he should be allowed to live quietly without intrusion. That does not mean that I approve of the lengths the paparazzi will go to just to get the story, especially when it helps to take down a celebrity athlete like Tiger Woods nor do I approve of journalists such as Charlie Pierce who have axes to grind and can't be trusted to tell the truth.

By Nike Golf

Here is a great deal for the golfer on your Christmas list and it won't break the bank! Experienced golf balls from Nike. 60 balls for less than the price for a dozen new golf balls.

These balls are perfect for the new golfer and golfers love balls that look and feel like new.

If you don't want to worry about losing expensive golf balls get these, the cost works out to about 33 cents each and the reviews from golfers have been great.

Great balls to use for practice and most look and feel like new.

Congratulations to Martin Laird, winner of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open event in Las Vegas! It was his first win on the PGA TOUR, defeating former UNLV star Chad Campbell and George McNeill on the third hole of a three man playoff.

I have been following Marty's career since he started dating my daughter-in-laws best friend Meagan. He has been a factor in a number of events since joining the Tour but this was his first win. Great player, great guy!

Get Me OUTSIDE!

I don't like treadmills in the spare bedroom, garage, working out at health clubs or other forms of indoor exercise,  other than they are boring, boring, boring, wall mounted TV or not. I don't care if Oprah has Michelle Obama, Tom Cruise, David Letterman, Ellen, Donald Trump and Tiger Woods on the same show! (wouldn't that be a show?), indoor workouts just don't work for me, even if I have a window to look out of.

If you ever wondered why your new year's resolution to exercise and lose weight lost it's momentum after only a few weeks here is a clue:

Hello! It's winter out there, cold, rainy, gloomy, etc. Your brain wants to be doing something outdoors, walking, hiking, just about anything as long as it's outside while your body cringes at the thought. Some refer to exercising outdoors as eco-therapy, or green exercise, although I think that word green is overused. Did you know for example that the color green balances the nervous system and is supposed to have a calm, soothing, effect?

When there isn't a whole lot of green around during winter where you live it can be tough to get motivated, much less stay that way until spring. But don't despair, just by seeking the natural world you can reap the benefits of re-connecting with the environment – a reduction in anger and stress levels only to mention a couple. Take the dog for a walk, bundle up and breathe the fresh air.
