New Golf Clubs or Golf School?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Do you want to improve your golf game? Are you considering spending $500 to $1,000 on new golf clubs? Of course the golf retail industry focuses on equipment. That is only natural but it is not necessarily the best way to improve your golf game. A better reality is that golf instruction,golf swing fundamentals and specific focused lessons will bring substantially better results than equipment alone.

If one wants to play better golf, you will be far better served by investing in yourself, rather than new golf clubs! The cliché says "it is the shooter making the mistake, not the gun" Believe it!

Women’s Golf Apparel: A Soft Symbol of Sexes Disparity in Sports

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

There used to be a disparity between men's professional sports and women's professional sports. The major disparity was in the cash prizes for women's professional sports. It used to be that the prize money difference was more than half of what men used to get, then what women were receiving. This rebellion against such differences was done in the field of tennis, with the ringleaders being Billie Jean King and Rosie Casals who in 1973 organized what is now the Women's Tennis Association. By getting majority of the women tennis players on board, eventually, the prize money was increased to more acceptable levels and just recently, in the last ten years or so, this disparity has slowly disappeared. Now, in the major grand slam events, equal prize money is given to the men and women's singles tournament competition. This parity now has some form of criticism as in the major grand slam tournaments like the Australian Open, The French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open, men have to play the best five set matches, while women only have to play best of three matches. While silently, there may be mutterings of the tournament format, the importance of having same cash prizes for both men and women events is that it puts a premium and prestige for all the hard work and practice hours women sports professionals undertake as well. After all, they do the same amount of work and practice, if not more as men do.
