We have all the seen the fantastically long, but very accurate drives of Tiger Woods. When he hits the ball, it sails through the air and lands smack in the middle of the fairway, some 300 yards away.
How can you not become jealous as you wonder if you could ever dare to hope to drive like that? It is consoling to know, that long drives are not crucial to the game of golf.
So, we get to the ‘short game’ because without decent short game skills, all those great long drives are not worth a candle.
The short game consists of those shots that get you onto the green from about one hundred feet out, be it from the fairway, a bunker, the rough or a drop zone and includes chips, sand shots and pitches.
It is in this middle stage of the game of golf that you get to use the higher numbered clubs, your pitching iron and sand wedge or lob wedge.
You will find practice areas on most golf courses. You really ought to spend some time practising hitting the ball onto the green from various distances. Try to hit the ball into a ten-foot circle in the centre of the green at first. Experiment using your wedges, but remember that what works well for one person, might not work so well for you because your particular swing is an unknown factor in the equation.
After you get accustomed to performing this drill consistently, it’s time to start practising in a sand trap. Knowing how to get the ball out of a trap will cut your score dramatically.
The way to do it is to plant your feet firmly in the sand with your left foot turned to face the hole. See an imaginary 4-inch circle around the ball and try to hit the outer edge of that circle.
Try to take up lots of sand with the ball and swing completely through as you normally would. Don’t pull back on your swing at all when or after you have hit the ball. It should spring up gently onto the green and stop dead in its tracks. This doesn’t work very well though unless the sand is quite soft and dry. On harder or compacted surfaces, you might need to avoid actually hitting the sand completely.
As in all aspects of golf, only practice will help you to improve.

Depression is a mental illness that is usually characterized by lengthy periods of sadness and melancholy, say the experts from the medical field of psychiatry.
However, just because someone slopes around and hates the world in general, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he/she is suffering from depression, but if this kind of behaviour, that feeling of emptiness, loss of self-worth and absolute lack of hope for happiness continues , then, that person could be, indeed, depressed. However, there are various types of depression too.
Manic or Bipolar depression is characterized by sudden and extreme mood swings – one minute he or she is euphoric while the next minute (day or week), the same person feels as if he or she is hell.
Postpartum depression is characterized by a prolonged sadness and a prolonged feeling of emptiness by a new mother where physical stress during child birth, an uncertain sense of responsibility towards the new born baby can be just some of the possible reasons why some new mothers go through this.
Dysthimia is characterized by a slight similarity with depression, although this type has been proven to be a lot less severe, but of course as with any case, it needs to be seen to immediately.
Cyclothemia is characterized by a nominal similarity with Manic or Bipolar depression wherein the sufferer of this mental illness has a problem with severe changes in mood.
Seasonal Affective Disorder is characterized by being depressed only during specific seasons (i.e. Winter, Spring, Summer or Autumn). However, studies prove that more people actually fall ill during the Winter and Autumn seasons. Or they could suffer from severe mood swings, wherein a person’s mood may shift from happy to sad to angry in quite a short period of time.
‘Clinical depression’ or ‘major depression’, as some call it, is the correct medical term for depression. In fact, clinical depression is more a disorder than an illness, because it refers to those who are suffering from the symptoms that cause depression.
However, despite it being a real disorder, clinical depression can be treated very successfully. Doctors are usually very optimistic that patients suffering from clinical depression will soon be well on their way to regaining good mental health if they are treated as soon as they have been diagnosed. Patients who have sought treatment for clinical depression have proven to be very successful in their hopes, given that 80 percent of those treated have found relief from their illness.
If you are seeking answers to questions related to clinical depression, the depression section of the health centre is highly recommended, as well as books on psychiatry and the Internet, which offers a lot of useful information, although self treatment is highly frowned upon. Clinical depression may not pose as great of a threat as the other types of mental illness, but it is best to leave to the professionals who can attend to and banish this disorder.
Clinical depression can be an extremely debilitating disorder and is extremely distressing to suffer or observe. Learn more on our website: Treating Depression

Almost everyone over the age of consent has or wants a credit card these days and they are accepted in almost every establishment. There are three major sorts of credit card in use in America. The first major sort of credit card is travel and entertainment cards such as American Express or Diners Card. These have to be paid in full at the end of the month and are generous on spending limits.
The second major sort of credit card is the bank card such as Visa, Master Cards, GM, and Ford cards distributed mostly by the banks. The bank defines the spending limit, which in bank speak, is known as the credit line and each bank offers different terms and conditions. Banks offer a selection of payment means: you can either repay the balance in full with no interest charges or pay the minimum (or some part of the balance) with a finance charge.
The other major sort of card is the retail store card, such as Sears, J.C. Penney, Shell or Mobil. These store cards and those issued by gas companies, which are usually known as fuel cards, are only accepted in some countries. They usually do not have annual charges. There is a wide disparity in the terms and conditions for these cards.
Different types of credit cards offer different options. Some are geared toward individual consumers, while others are designed in ways that work best for small business needs. To know what sort of credit card fits your needs, you should review a few options.
How to Select a Credit Card.
Credit cards have become a part of everyday life for most people living in the west. It’s becoming increasingly impossible to avoid them, especially for business men. So, if this is the first time you are thinking of entering into the world of plastic money, here are some of the basic things you should look out for.
First, compare the interest chargeable on all the credit cards for which you are eligible. While the rate will not remain fixed for ever, it’s always advisable for first timers to go for the one charging the lowest rates.
Make sure you study the small print carefully, especially with regard to the other charges that may be applied, like late-payment fees, annual fees, and whether there is a grace period, which is normally given before the finance charges are applied.
You should decide which spending limit is most suitable for someone of your income level. Furthermore, the fewer credit cards you use, the better placed you will be to track your spending pattern.
Compare the services and other features such as the cash back incentives, or warranties, rebates and the like. Check whether the card is widely enough accepted to cater for your needs.
You will do yourself a favour by familiarizing yourself with the following terms: 1] Annual Percentage Rate: this is the measure of the yearly cost of the credit. 2] Finance Charges: these are the total charges of the transaction. 3] Period of Grace: This is the period the issuer gives you before he starts charging you interest on new purchases. (Note that not all credit cards have a grace period).

Golfing has become phenomenally popular over the last 45 years, producing such world-class champions as Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods. Some first-class courses too have become household names; think of Wentworth, St. Andrews, Augusta and Pinewood.
But why should golfing have become so poplar with the public? Surely, it must be because a round of golf is a leisurely, but nevertheless, active, outdoor pursuit with a competitive side that can be enjoyed with friends but that can never be mastered.
Your scorecard, over time, will demonstrate your improvement, which keeps you playing time and time again.
Here is a very basic lesson in golf for the person who hasn’t a clue about the game.
The typical round of golf is played on a course of eighteen holes, each or which has its own ‘par’. Par is the total number of shots it should take a player to complete that hole, ie all the tee shots (drives), fairway shots, chips (short shots onto the green) and puts into the hole.
This ‘par’ value is based on the length and difficulty of the hole in question. Pars range from three to six, so if you get the ball into the hole in four shots on a ‘par four’ hole, you made ‘par’. However, if you took three shots, it’s called a ‘birdie’ or five shots a ‘bogie’.
There are usually “hazards” of some sort or other on all the holes. Bodies of water, sand traps, and trees are strategically placed to make reaching the hole more challenging. Beginner golfers should seek to find courses to play that are easier to play with fewer hazards.
Players keep their own score of the total number of shots taken for each hole. After the eighteenth hole, they add up their scores and the one with the lowest is the winner.
It is vital that beginners to golfing should not take the game too seriously, because it takes a very long time to play golf proficiently, even if the professionals on TV make it look so easy.
Take a lesson or two at the start of your golfing ‘career’, because it will help you develop a proper swing and help you get off to a good start.
