Rory Sabbatini Golf Swing Vision
2007-12-08 04:33:54
I am currently watching the Australian PGA as I write this and have been very interested in Rory Sabbatini's swing, which they have just shown an analysis of during the coverage. I thought I would post it up here for you to have a look at. He certainly has some weird looking leg positions, but it seems to work for him!

I remember studying for my exams - I had hundreds of bits of paper stuck to the walls of my bedroom all with very important information I was trying to remember.

World number six Adam Scott moved past countryman Peter Lonard and South Africa's Rory Sabbatini to claim a two-shot lead during the second round of the Australian PGA Championship at Coolum on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. Scott was on 6-under-par through 16 holes to reach 11-under for the tournament after picking up several shots on his first-round 67.

Golf Super Tour OneAsia - The third tour emerges in 2009?
2007-12-07 00:35:01
A new Super golf Tour involving Australia, New Zealand and Asia could tee up by 2009 after Japan's decision to back the ambitious plan. The OneAsia Tour, involving Australia, New Zealand, India and Asia has been on the drawing board for more than two years. Japan's commitment is regarded as a major breakthrough to establish a third Tour behind America and Europe. At the moment the Australasian and Asia tours clash with a number of co-sanctioned events because they've been pushed by America and Europe to play their tournaments at the end of the year. Ben Sellenger from the Australasian PGA Tour said the new tour was now a "reality" and could be up and running in opposition to the European and lucrative US PGA Tour by 2009. He stressed there was a lot of work and planning still to be done. Sellenger said initially the goal was to play 20 tournaments initially with a minimum prizemoney purse of $US1.5 million although some tournaments would be worth twice that amount. Australia wou ...

Air Ambulance
2007-12-07 00:30:21
I remember visiting the air ambulance (called flying doctors) base in Australia as a kid and being fascinated. Air ambulance services are essential for countries with wide open spaces like Australia and the USA, where some people in remote places may be days away from a hospital by road. I personally know someone who lived on a remote property that was saved by an Air ambulance so I can not speak highly enough of the services they offer.Airambulance have a great website that has fantastic information about the services offered by the Air Ambulance. Air Ambulance is available in 50 states and each state has its own section of the website to read about the services offered. You can also read about the medical treatment available on the Air Ambulance, what happens when you are in the air, the types of aircraft they use (including pictures), all about the company and the phone number or form for contact. If you are in serious need of an air ambulance domestic service they have a dispatch n ...

Michael Sim shot a 7-under-par 65 Thursday to take a one-stroke lead over American J.B. Holmes and three others after the first round of the Australian PGA. The 23-year-old Sim, whose rookie season on the U.S. PGA tour this year was delayed by a stress fracture in his back, was in the first group to tee off at 6:15 a.m. local time Thursday. Sim went out in 4-under 32 after making birdies on three of the last four holes of the front nine and a 4-meter (15-foot) putt for par on nine. "It was a terrific round," said Sim, whose missed the cut in 2005 when he last played the Hyatt Regency resort course. Holmes and Australians Craig Parry, Richard Green and Peter Lonard were tied for second after 66s.

Hair Transplants
2007-12-06 02:51:37
I remember when my old man started to lose his hair. It was a big thing for him and he looked into all the regular options like hair replacement drugs (and wearing a hat). Luciky for everyone today there is a relatively new treatment available that actually replaces the hair via a transplant. Many famous athletes in Australia have been promoting this technique for the last few years and it seems to have worked really well for them.Dr. Shapiro is a Florida hair transplant doctor who has had some of great success with his hair transplant patients. His service is very personal as he meets with clients individually to talk about your needs. He explains what will happen and you also get to meet some of his previous clients so you can see how his work looks as a finished product. He works with both female and male hair loss and from the photos and testimonials has done some fantastic work.His website is very professional and is very easy to navigate.

Adam Scott Interview
2007-12-06 02:24:27
Scott arrived in Australia on Tuesday still suffering the effects of a gastro virus which he picked up playing at Sun City in South Africa last week. "I can't say I'm feeling 100 per cent, but I'm feeling certainly well enough to play, no problem at all," declared the tournament draw card. Scott was far from satisfied with his one US victory this year in the Houston Open despite maintaining his high world ranking. Asked what he'd consider a good year, he said: "all four majors would be good". To consider himself as one of the best players in the world, he said apart from winning a major, he'd have to win more than once. "I feel like I'm getting to the prime of my career and I should be winning more often," he said. "I think it's about working a bit harder again. It's becoming harder to win on any Tour, there aren't so many players dominating (except for Tiger Woods). "If I can commit myself to what I am doing, I can win a few events over there every year. "I think winning three, ...

"Golf is a weird game" My friend said. "It took you two shots to go 350 yards and then 3 shots to go10 feet."

I am always looking for tips to help me, but they rarely work - so for the next month I am going to post some putting tips I find on youtube and then put them into practice and let my loyal readers know how I went - keep checking back for the update.

Trevor Immelman Swing Vision (video)
2007-12-03 14:25:47
Considering Trevor Immelman just won the Nedbank Golf Challenge it is a very appropriate time to have a look at his swing vision. He really has a great swing and as the commentator says - watch how much he turns and rotates his body through the shot, it is quite amazing.I must admit I have become a bit of an addict of swing vision as they can really give you some great insight into what makes a great gold swing. I hope to bring many more in the future - feel free to suggest a swing vision you would like to see by leaving a comment.

Home Decor
2007-12-03 14:15:15
I have just had something happen to me once that confirmed what I always knew - every home needs an address plaque and a well labeled mailbox. What happened was my (very expensive) parcel was delivered to the wrong address where someone even signed for it and probably has my brand new Callaway driver in his golf bag as I write these words. The post office was no help either because the mailman couldn't find my house it was my fault. So just to be very clear I will say it again, every home needs an address plaque!Mailboxes and beyond is a great site for address plaques, Residential Mailboxes and all things exterior home decor related. They have some of the best range of address plaques and mailboxes I have ever seen and you can literally choose from hundreds of different colors and designs. The site is really well designed and it is so easy to find what you are looking for. The prices also seem very reasonable and you can order via their secure server.

Immelman wins Nedbank golf challenge
2007-12-03 00:01:55
England's Justin Rose faltered at the death as South African Trevor Immelman pipped him by one stroke to win the Sun City Challenge at the Gary Player Country Club on Sunday. Rose and Immelman arrived at the 18th hole tied on 18 under par but the Englishman pulled his drive way left and could only chip his second shot sideways. It was a telling mistake as Immelman could afford to overshoot the green with his approach shot. He then mishit his first chip shot, moving the ball forward only about two feet.se was unable to come up with a third shot to capitalise, however, landing up in the grandstand behind the green. Even though he was offered relief with a free drop, Rose could not make a 12-foot putt for bogey and his ball curled away from the hole. Immelman then sank a three-foot putt for bogey after a much better second chip shot to finish on 272 and the trophy was his, returning to South Africa for the first time since Retief Goosen won in 2004....Read full golf news story

Payday Loan

I remember my first set of senior golf clubs - cheap they might have been I still needed to take out a small payday advance to afford the privilege. Payday loans can be a great way of getting those little things you want or can help out with the bills, just make sure you read all the fine print. A payday loan can be a happier alternative than borrowing money or selling your stuff for less than it is worth. Many companies are legit so it pays to read some reviews of the available companies.cashadvance1500 is a great website that lists different cash advance sites and gives a short description of the available payday loan . The site is simple, well designed and really easy to navigate. They have a great article about how payday loans work, which is a necessary read for anyone thinking about going down this route.The feature articles are also worth a read and will explain; how to get approved, how to choose a payday loan and advantages of applying online.

Finch wins New Zealand Open
2007-12-02 06:23:26
Richard Finch, the overnight leader at 14-under had a solid even par final round, while his chasers failed to fire a shot.As he did all week, Finch relyied on a simplistic mix of hitting the right area off the tee, finding the green and rolling the odd putt in.Even a crowd disturbance during his tee shot on the first couldn't perturb him, recovering to make birdie when his chip shot hit a sprinkler head and bounced to within five feet of the hole.Aussie Steven Bowditch was expected to mount a serious challenge from 11-under overnight, but three early bogies meant he was out of contention leaving Finch to take the New Zealand Open.

Escali Digital Scales
2007-12-02 06:16:35
It was a sad day when my old man couldn't get around the golf course with me - I will never forget the pained look on his face at the 13th hole while I was sure he was going to have a heart attack. We stood there for a moment thinking the same thing, but saying nothing - he needed to go on a diet!The first step in any diet is buying a scale. These days digital is the way to go and Escali digital scales really are some of the best digital scales available. As well as being great scales they are becoming a highly fashionable bathroom accessory. However, this does not mean they are expensive to own - they are very affordable.These days the best place to buy scales is online as many of the department stores stock inferior models. Scalesetc is a great online scales site and their website is not only well designed, but very easy to use. Their prices are very reasonable and you can buy online with a credit card via their secure server - it's just too easy. If you are looking for bathroom scal ...
