			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Data loss is an expensive reality. It&#8217;s a hard fact that it happens more often then users like to admit. A recent study by the accounting firm McGladrey and Pullen estimates that one out of every 500 data centers will experience a severe computer disaster this year. As a result, almost half of those companies will go out of business. At the very least, a data loss disaster can mean lost income and missed business opportunities.</p>
<p>The other side of data loss is the psychological and emotional turmoil it can cause to IT managers and business owners. Despair, panic, and the knowledge that the whole organization might be at risk are involved. In a sense, that&#8217;s only fair, since human error is one of the two largest contributing factors in data loss. Together with mechanical failure, it accounts for almost 75 per cent of all incidents. (Software corruption, computer viruses and physical disasters such as fire and water damage make up the rest.)</p>
<p>Disk drives today are typically reliable. Human beings, it turns out, are not. A Strategic Research Corp. study done in 2000 found that approximately 15 per cent of all unplanned downtime occurred due to human error. A significant proportion of that happened because users failed to implement adequate backup procedures, either having trouble with their backups, or having no backup at all.<span id="more-279"></span></p>
<p>How does it happen that skilled, high-level users put their systems &#8211; and their businesses &#8211; at such risk?</p>
<p>In many cases, the problem starts long before the precipitating system error is made, that is, when users place their faith in out-of-box solutions that may not, in fact, fit their organization&#8217;s needs. Instead of assessing their business and technology requirements, then going to an appropriate engineered solution, even experienced IT professionals at large corporations will often simply buy what they&#8217;re sold. In this case, faith in technology can be an vice instead of a virtue.</p>
<p>But human intervention itself can sometimes be the straw that breaks the technology&#8217;s back. When the office of a Venezuelan civil engineering firm was devastated by floods, its owners sent 17 soaked, mud-coated disks from three RAID arrays to us in plastic bags. A tough enough salvage job was made even more complex by the fact that someone had frozen the drives before shipping them. As the disks thawed, yet more damage was done. (After eight weeks of painstaking directory-by-directory recovery, all the data from the remaining fifteen disks was retrieved.)</p>
<p>Sometimes, the underlying cause of a data loss event is simply shoddy housekeeping. The more arduous the required backup routine, the less likely it will be done on a regular basis. A state ambulance monitoring system suffered a serious disk failure, only to discover that its automated backup hadn&#8217;t run for fourteen months. A tape had jammed in the drive, but no-one had noticed.</p>
<p>When disaster strikes, the normal human reaction is panic. Because the loss of data signifies critical consequences, even the most competent IT staff can jump to conclusions, and take inappropriate action. A blank screen at a critical time can lead to a series of naive decisions, each one compounding the preceding error. Wrong buttons get pushed, and the disaster only gets worse. Sometimes the pressure to correct the system failure speedily can result in an attempt to reconfigure an entire RAID array. IT specialists are typically not equipped to deal with crisis modes or data recovery techniques. Just as a good physician is trained to prolong life, the skilled IT specialist is trained to keep the system running. When a patient dies, the physician turns to others, such as nurses or counselors to manage the situation. When significant data loss occurs, the IT specialist turns to the data recovery professional.</p>
<p>Data recovery specialists are innovative problem solvers. Often, the application of basic common sense, when no-one else is in any condition to apply it, is the beginning of the journey towards data recovery. The data recovery specialist draws on a wealth of experience, married to a &#8220;never say die&#8221; attitude, and a comprehensive tool kit of problem-solving procedures. Successful recovery outcomes hinge on a combination of innovative logistics, applied problem-solving, and &#8220;technology triage,&#8221; the process of stabilizing an affected system quickly, analyzing and treating its wounds, and preparing it for surgery. The triage process sets priorities, such as targeting which files are needed first or which are absolutely vital to the functioning of the business, and establishes whether files might be recovered in less structured formats (such as text-only), which may be desirable when time is crucial.</p>
<p>The art and science of professional data recovery can spell the difference between a business&#8217; success or its failure. Before that level of intervention is required, though, users can take steps to ensure that the probability of a data loss disaster is minimized.</p>
<p>Basic to any business technology plan is a regular fire-drill procedure. Back-up routines may be in place, staff may assigned to specific roles, hardware and software may be configured &#8211; but, if the user isn&#8217;t completely sure that everything works the way it should, a data loss event is inevitable. Having adequate, tested, and current backups in place is critical. A hardware breakdown should not be compounded by human error &#8211; if the malfunctioning drive is critical, the task of dealing with it should go to a data recovery professional.</p>
<p>Just as data loss disasters are rooted in a combination of mechanical failure and human error, so, too, the data recovery solution lies in a creative marriage of the technological and the human. The underlying philosophy of successful data recovery is that technology is something to be used by human beings, not something that uses us.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone who&#8217;s worked in an office at some point or another has had to go to accounting. They&#8217;re the people who pay and send out the bills that keep the business running. They do a lot more than that, though. Sometimes referred to as &#8220;bean counters&#8221; they also keep their eye on profits, costs and losses. Unless you&#8217;re running your own business and acting as your own accountant, you&#8217;d have no way of knowing just how profitable &#8211; or not &#8211; your business is without some form of accounting.</p>
<p>No matter what business you&#8217;re in, even if all you do is balance a checkbook, that&#8217;s still accounting. It&#8217;s part of even a kid&#8217;s life. Saving an allowance, spending it all at once &#8211; these are accounting principles. </p>
<p>What are some other businesses where accounting is critical? Well, farmers need to follow careful accounting procedures. Many of them run their farms year to year by taking loans to plant the crops. If it&#8217;s a good year, a profitable one, then they can pay off their loan; if not, they might have to carry the loan over, and accrue more interest charges. </p>
<p>Every business and every individual needs to have some kind of accounting system in their lives. Otherwise, the finances can get away from them, they don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;ve spent, or whether they can expect a profit or a loss from their business. Staying on top of accounting, whether it&#8217;s for a multi-billion dollar business or for a personal checking account is a necessary activity on a daily basis if you&#8217;re smart. Not doing so can mean anything from a bounced check or posting a loss to a company&#8217;s shareholders. Both scenarios can be equally devastating.</p>
<p>Accounting is basically information, and this information is published periodically in business as a profit and loss statement, or an income statement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winter is upon us and you have more time, since you&#8217;re not golfing?so why not get a jump on next season by doing some simple, in-home golf exercises that will quickly prepare your body to hit LONGER drives and shoot LOWER scores?<span id="more-259"></span></p>
<p>How many times have you started a new golf season with very high scores, short drives, and aches and pains? Am I talking to you? Let&#8217;s be honest. It happens more times than you&#8217;d like. But why not do it different this time? Instead of going into deep depression that the season is over ? keep golf in the top of your mind by starting a golf exercise program.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let your clubs get dusty and forget about your game. Prepare your body in anticipation of next spring. It&#8217;s no fun to come off the course feeling spent (in more ways than one) when you could have energy to spare. You have between 4-6 months to greatly improve your strength, flexibility and stamina. It would be the wisest thing to do to improve your golf for next season.</p>
<p>When you begin the season with a &#8220;broken&#8221; body, you&#8217;re taking two steps back. Take a leap forward and prepare your body by getting your golf exercise program in motion. Think of it this way. What a great opportunity to get the edge on your playing partners and win all the money. Wouldn&#8217;t that get their goat?</p>
<p>Finally, you&#8217;ll get the chance to redeem yourself from a previous season that found you paying out more than receiving and being the brunt of all jokes in the clubhouse after every round. We&#8217;ve all been there &#8211; but no longer right? This is the winter to make the commitment and do it! No excuses. No more reasons to put it off. You may realize it&#8217;s not easy ? but nothing worth getting is easy.</p>
<p>Golf exercise is a very popular topic these days among all the pros, teachers and even amateurs. It&#8217;s no secret that if you get your body fitter, stronger and more flexible you will swing better and hit longer drives that produce lower scores.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what we all want right? What a feeling to be the longest (and straightest) hitter in your group. Always hitting your approach shot last because you were the furthest down the fairway. Those are the kinds of thoughts you should have this winter while you&#8217;re working out.</p>
<p>The simplist way to implement golf exercises is to look at the golf swing. First off, it&#8217;s standing on your feet. Not sitting down, like on a machine in your local gym. So try to do most of your exercises on your feet.</p>
<p>Secondly, you should be in your golf posture. Which is a bend forward at the hips, with your knees slightly flexed. Doing exercises in this position will create a very strong, stable golf swing.</p>
<p>A good example of a golf exercise would be the Golf Posture Lateral Raise:</p>
<p>? Bend forward at hips just beyond normal golf posture.</p>
<p>? Hold dumbbells in front of your thighs, palms facing each other.</p>
<p>? Slowly raise dumbbell to the side and up.</p>
<p>? Slowly bring back down to pre-stretch position.</p>
<p>Do you see how this would quickly build up the strength in the back of your shoulders for a strong take-away and downswing? The only equipment required was a pair of dumbbells (hand weights), which probably cost about $10. No fancy gym. And in the convenience of your home, saving you time.</p>
<p>This is just one example of a simple golf exercise you can do quickly and conveniently in your home to dramatically transform your game!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is Acne?</strong><br />
Acne is a chronic disorder of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Some of the characteristics of acne include black heads, pimples, cysts, infected abscesses, and rarely scarring. Acne usually occurs during adolescence in both men and women. To be more specific, acne starts during puberty and tends to get worse for people with oily skin. Acne badly affects teenage boys. Only mild to moderate forms of acne occur in middle-aged women. Acne can be seen most commonly on the face. The other places where it can occur include the neck, chest, back, shoulders, scalp, and upper arms and legs. Most forms of acne are the result of heredity and hormonal problems and has nothing to do with a harmful diet or poor hygiene.</p>
<p><strong>Types of acne</strong><br />
Acne starts in a similar way for all but can take different forms and can react in a unique way according to the body conditions of the individual. A basic lesion called the comedo is the begining of acne. The comedo is an enlarged hair follicle plugged with oil and bacteria residing under the surface of your skin, that waits for the right conditions to grow into an inflamed lesion. Whenever the skin produces more oil, the bacteria grows within the swollen follicle. The surrounding skin becomes increasingly inflamed as your white blood cells fight against the intruders. Two main types of acne include non-inflammatory acne and inflammatory acne.</p>
<p><strong>Non-inflammatory acne</strong><br />
Closed comedo:<br />
If the plugged follicle stays below the surface of the skin, the lesion is called a closed comedo. This usually appears on the skin as small, whitish bumps. This condition is otherwise called as whitehead.</p>
<p>Open comedo :<br />
If the plug enlarges and pushes through the surface of the skin, the lesion is called an open comedo. The dark appearance of the plug is not due to dirt, but due to the buildup of melanin, the pigmentation element of the skin. This condition is otherwise called as blackhead.</p>
<p><strong>Inflammatory acne</strong><br />
Papule:<br />
This appears on the skin as a small, firm pink bump. The papules are tender in nature and are often considered an intermediary step between non-inflammatory and clearly inflammatory lesions.</p>
<p>Pustule:<br />
These are small round lesions that are inflamed and contain visible pus, which appear red at the base with a yellowish or whitish center. Pustules do not contain a large amount of bacteria. The inflammation is caused by chemical irritation from sebum components such as fatty free acids.</p>
<p>Cyst:<br />
These are large pus-filled lesions that are usually present deep within the skin. The cysts are very painful lesions, as they are inflamed. Cysts form as a result of the contents of a comedo spilling over the surrounding skin and due to the response of the local immune system in producing pus. The cysts often leave deep scars.</p>
<p>Acne conglobata:<br />
This is a rare but serious form of inflammatory acne that develops primarily on the back, buttocks, and chest. In addition, to the presence of pustules and cysts, there may be severe bacterial infection.</p>
<p><strong>Symptoms</strong><br />
The common symptoms of acne include persistent, recurrent red spots or swellings on the skin known as pimples. The pimples become inflamed and get filled with pus. The pimples usually occur on the face, chest, shoulders, neck, or upper portion of the back. Some of the other symptoms include dark spots with open pores at the center, which are known as blackheads, bulged spots under the skin without openings, which are known as whiteheads, and red swellings or lumps filled with pus, which are known as pustules. The pustules can develop from blackheads or whiteheads. Inflamed fluid-filled lumps under the skin known as cysts are also a symptom of acne. These cysts can become as large as an inch across.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Golfers will do anything they can in hopes to play better golf and hit the LONG ball. Am I right? Are you in this category? If so, I&#8217;m quite confident to say you&#8217;ve taken a golf lesson or two. Golf lessons can be very effective in getting you back on track, if your swing has gone south. But, not always.</p>
<p>How many times have you taken a golf lesson, only to be more frustrated and hitting the ball worse than before that golf lesson? Do you know why this happens? It can be many different reasons, such as too many swing thoughts; making drastic changes that require hours at the range and hitting thousands of balls; or lastly, your body just can&#8217;t effectively move in the way it needs to, to make a mechanically correct golf swing.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m inclined to say that for the majority of golfers, especially the older golfer, it&#8217;s the last reason above. Your body just can&#8217;t move the way it needs to. The question now is, why?</p>
<p>Why can&#8217;t your body do what you know it needs to do to swing the club correctly? It can drive you to the point of quitting the game. But there is hope. There is an approach that will almost 100% of the time correct this problem. Do you want to know what it is? It&#8217;s addressing your &#8220;physical limitations&#8221;. That&#8217;s what&#8217;s keeping you from a great game of golf.</p>
<p>Do you ever get on the course and just feel like you can&#8217;t make a full backswing? Or, it just feels impossible to maintain your golf posture and &#8220;stay in your swing&#8221;? No amount of golf lessons or hitting balls will correct this. This is a &#8220;physical&#8221; issue with your body, and until you work on it, it will never get better. I&#8217;ve seen it time and time again. Golfers walking off the course in pure disgust. They&#8217;ve taken golf lessons, hit balls at the range, and even bought the latest, greatest titanium drive; and yet still can&#8217;t play like they think they are capable of.</p>
<p>Finding out your &#8220;physical limitations&#8221; is the first step to a lifelong better game of golf. Once you find out what&#8217;s keeping you from making that perfect swing, you can set up a game plan to improve it. It may be a flexibility issue, or it may be a strength issue. But either way, you&#8217;ve got to find out what it is.</p>
<p>The most common issue (especially for the older golfer) is flexibility. Not being able to rotate your body fully on the backswing, creating that power and torque for maximum clubhead speed. If your back swing is cut short, you will LOSE yards on your drives! And I say again; no amount of lessons or hitting balls will make that any better. You&#8217;ve got to do specific golf stretches to improve this limitation.</p>
<p>Now on the other side of these limiting factors is strength, specific to golf. And one of the most common limitations is weak hamstrings (the back of the upper leg). The role of the hamstring is critical. It allows you to maintain your golf posture throughout the swing and for 18 holes. It prevents undo strain on your lower back. And can give you a steady, comfortable position while putting.</p>
<p>If your hamstrings are weak, I can almost say with certainty, you&#8217;ve got some low-back pain or injury. This is prevalent in older golfers and even the younger ones too. Back pain is the number reason to keep a golfer from playing his/her best. Have you ever walked off the course with your back in pain? I&#8217;m sure at one time or another you have. Now do you think hitting more balls or taking more lessons will improve this? I think you know the answer.</p>
<p>If you have a difficult time, &#8220;staying in your swing&#8221;, it most definitely could be the above scenario. In order to maintain the forward flex in your upper body (golf posture), your hamstrings need to have optimal strength (and flexibility). If not, your hamstring will send a message to your brain saying, &#8220;get out of this position, I can&#8217;t hold it any longer&#8221;. Do you think his has ever happened to you?</p>
<p>So working on the physical side of your game improvement may be the missing link. I can assuredly tell you with this approach, your game WILL improve. There is no doubt. Getting your body to move just a little better will make a huge difference in your ability to make an optimal swing for 18 holes. So before you take that next golf lesson, take a look at your BODY first!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Acne or pimples are caused by hormonal changes, wrong food habits and improper skin care. Acne remedies given below are based on herbs and natural ingredients that treat your acne like magic and help improve the skin disorders.</p>
<p>Grind nutmeg with unboiled milk and apply on affected area. This works as a magic. Pimples should disappear without leaving a mark.</p>

<p>Apply fresh lime juice mixed to a glass of boiled milk as a face wash for pimples.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the United States alone, there are over 40 Million people who struggle with acne. Many of these people treat acne using chemicals such as antibiotics, prescription drugs, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid.</p>
<p>However, there is a growing number of people who choose herbal acne treatments over traditional medications. Usually, herbal medications have far fewer side effects, and are not as dangerous as some of the prescription drugs.</p>
<p>The problem however, is that the United States does very little to regulate the herbal supplement industry. Unlike traditional chemical medications, herbal medications are not required to be clinically proven to work, or even to be safe. An example of this lack of regulation recently came to light with ephedra related deaths, and ephedras subsequent ban.</p>
<p>This lack of regulation results in many different acne products on the market. All of which claim to heal, prevent, or even cure acne with few, if any, side effects.</p>
<p>The truth is, there are very few herbal acne treatments that are scientifically proven to work. Traditional chemical treatments are still the most effective in stopping acne.</p>
<p>There are only 2 herbal treatments that have been clinically proven to help stop acne, tea tree oil and green tea cream.</p>
<p>Tea tree oil is a natural oil, derived from the Melaleuca alternifolia, a particular type of tea tree found exclusively in Australia. While it has been used from hundreds of years by the native aboriginals as a treatment for just about anything, it has only recently been accepted by modern medicine as being a viable anti-bacterial agent.</p>
<p>Even though tea tree oil has been suspected as an anti-bacterial agent for some time, A groundbreakings study was conducted in 1990 by I.B. Bassett, which compared tea tree oil to benzoyl peroxide in the treatment of acne. It was found that tea tree oil is as effective as a 5% benzoyl peroxide solution. It takes longer (6 weeks) for the tea tree oil to be as effective, but participants in the study reported none of the side effects associated with benzoyl peroxide, such as redness, skin irritation, or dry skin.</p>
<p>This study has helped tea tree oil become a recognized and legitimate herbal acne treatment. However, there is no need to purchase an expensive cream that contains tea tree oil. Just applying several drops of the oil directly on the acne has shown to be the most effective way to apply tea tree oil.</p>
<p>This was the only herbal acne treatment that had been proven to work until recently, when Dr. Jennifer Gan-Wong conducted a study that shows green tea can also effectively fight acne.</p>
<p>Dr. Gan-Wong compared a green tea cream with 3% green tea, to a 4% benzoyl peroxide solution, and found that the results in treating acne where the same for both the tea and the peroxide. These results were recently presented at the 2003 annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology.</p>
<p>These findings are relatively recent, and are not yet corroborated by additional independent studies. However, this evidence does demonstrate that the natural anti-bacterial properties of green tea can be effective to treat acne.</p>
<p>For those of you who are confused by the plethora of herbal acne treatments available, there really are only 2 that have been proven to be effective in fighting acne. Green tea cream, and tea tree oil. While many other herbal acne treatments may be good to moisturize the skin, or reduce oils, these are the only two that should be considered truly effective acne treatments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Golf has always been viewed as a game of leisure. But today&#8217;s golfer is leaner, stronger, and fitter. Until the last few years, golfers didn&#8217;t know how to go about incorporating golf fitness, or specifically resistance training for golf.</p>
<p>They have had a vision of going into the local gym and being intimidated by the &#8220;muscle heads.&#8221; It can also be overwhelming to decide what plan of action to take and if it will be worth the time and effort. I have listed some myths about strength training for golf and the truths about them as well.</p>
<p>&#8220;I will bulk up too much and that will hinder my golf swing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Golf fitness (resistance training specific for golf) will not result in muscle gain that will alter your swing mechanics. To increase muscle size, involves lifting increasingly heavier weights with lower repetitions, increasing your calorie intake dramatically, and spending a couple of hours per day lifting weights.</p>
<p>A golf fitness program incorporates moderate weight, with medium (12-15) repetitions, and in a time frame of 30-45 minutes. This type of program is designed to improve your golf specific strength and endurance, not build muscle.</p>
<p>&#8220;I will lose flexibility if I lift weights.&#8221;</p>
<p>In fact, the opposite is true! Weak muscles are also tight muscles. When you do resistance training, you are increasing blood flow, working through a functional range of motion specific to golf, and strengthening the tendons and ligaments in every joint of your body. In conjunction with a stretching program, strength training will improve flexibility, not hinder it.</p>
<p>&#8220;Weight training will cause me to lose feel.&#8221;</p>
<p>By strengthening your muscles specific to golf, you will have better control of your body. A golf fitness program trains your body specifically for your golf game. When you improve functional strength, you have more control and balance, which will improve your feel. Strength training involves body awareness, muscular control, and coordination. These are all key elements for enhanced golf.</p>
<p>So in summary, golf fitness can be done when you are in your early teens (with supervision), or into your late 80&#8242;s. I have personally worked with people in there 70&#8242;s and 80&#8242;s who increased their strength 100%. This was partly due to the initial level of fitness being so low. My point is, that it is never too late to start. Search out a fitness professional or conditioning specialist to design a golf specific program and you will play better than you ever imagined! Start now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are literally hundreds of various treatments available to reduce acne. There is everything from all natural herbal remedies, to powerful chemical pharmaceuticals such as Accutane.</p>
<p>However, the most commonly used acne treatments in the United States are over the counter acne medications. They are generally inexpensive when compared to prescription medications, and some work very well.</p>
<p>Benzoyl peroxide is the most commonly used over the counter acne medication, and for good reason; Benzoyl peroxide is one of the most effective acne treatments available.</p>
<p>A 5% solution is usually all that is needed to treat acne, and it has almost no side effects for most people who use it. Unlike antibiotics and other prescription medications, Benzoyl peroxide can be used for months, even years at a time, and there are really no long term side effects (including a tolerance) that can be associated with it.</p>
<p>Furthermore, benzoyl peroxide has been compared to some of the prescription medications for acne, and it is nearly as effective as many acne antibiotics. Over all, benzoyl peroxide is the most successful over the counter acne medication.</p>
<p>However, there are others that can be very beneficial as well, including salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid, and it works as an astringent to remove dead skin cells. By removing the dead cells, this helps eliminate clogged pores, as well as help the skin renew itself faster.</p>
<p>Since acne is caused by p.bacteria that builds up in sebum in the pores of the skin, it is very important for the sebum to have a way of draining out of the pores before it becomes infected. Once salicylic acid is used to eliminate the dead skin cells, then the sebum is much less likely to become trapped under the skin and infected.</p>
<p>Salicylic acid is often sold as a makeup remover, but it is most commonly used in acne treatment via stridex pads or oxy pads.</p>
<p>Sulfur is also used in some over the counter acne medications. Sulfur is one of the oldest acne treatments, and reacts with the skin in such a way that it makes it dry, and peel. This works on acne by drying out the Sebum, and therefore, stopping the bacterial growth.</p>
<p>Many soaps and facial cleansers have sulfur in them. Sulfur is effective in getting rid of whiteheads and blackheads. It doesn&#8217;t work well against the more inflamed cystic acne. One of the drawbacks is that it can increase skin cell adhesion to the skin, and therefore help cause more pimples in the future. It is best to use a gentle exfoliator when using sulfur to treat acne.</p>
<p>Sulfur also has a strong odor, and some people have skin that reacts harshly to sulfur, causing excessive redness and peeling.</p>
<p>Resorcinol is another over-the-counter chemical that is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne. It works by breaking down hard skin. For acne, this means less clogged pores, and faster skin growth. Resorcinol is commonly used with sulfur to treat acne. It is also good for eczema and dandruff.</p>
<p>Because it is a strong chemical, don&#8217;t use resorcinol with other astringents or cleansers unless advised by a dermatologist to do so.</p>
<p>These are the most commonly used over the counter acne treatments. For anyone who is suffering from acne, these 4 over-the-counter treatments have a good chance of helping to reduce or eliminate acne.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Improve your golf performance. Is this always on your mind? When you go out to golf you&#8217;re hoping for a good round. I know I do.</p>
<p>How often does your outcome match what you hoped for? Do you usually shoot the scores you had envisioned before you teed off? If not, do you ever evaluate where and how you could have saved strokes and avoided those blow up holes?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got 5 easy tips for you to implement immediately that will improve your golf performance by shaving 4-6 or even more strokes off your score the next time you play. Give them a try and see what happens. Here they are:</p>
<p>1. First off you&#8217;ve got to put the proper fuel in your body before you leave home. Most golfers don&#8217;t give it a second thought. They either don&#8217;t eat at all before they leave home or they eat something that is not going to give them the long-term energy they&#8217;re hoping for. So whether it&#8217;s lunch or breakfast before you leave you need to consume a complex carbohydrate and a good protein source. This combination will warrant the best use of your energy for the long haul.</p>
<p>An example for breakfast would be a bowl of oatmeal and a couple of egss with a piece of fruit or a juice. For lunch you could have a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with a piece of fruit. Lot&#8217;s of lettuce on the sandwich and try to avoid mayonnaise or butter.</p>
<p>2. The second tip is to properly warm up your body before you even hit your first ball. I see so many golfers show up 5 minutes before tee time, hack a few balls and head to the first tee. Those golfers are headed for a double bogey right off the bat &#8211; but hey they&#8217;re just getting &#8220;warmed up&#8221; right?</p>
<p>A better approach is to give yourself at least 30 minutes before your tee time. First do some dynamic (movement oriented) stretches to prepare your body to perform. Things like arm circles, partial squats, toe touches, etc. Then take some half swings with a 7 iron. Now after that you&#8217;re ready to hit some wedges. You&#8217;ll find with this approach your hits on the range will be much better, which will build your confidence.</p>
<p>3. Drink lots of water even before you leave your house. Try to consume up to a gallon of Water before you get to the course. This will help you absorb and digest your pre-game meal and hydrate your muscles for optimal performance. Don&#8217;t take this lightly. Dehydration causes energy loss, lack of focus and concentration and fatigue later in the round. And remember, that&#8217;s before you even come to the course. Once you get their you should be drinking water every hole.</p>
<p>4. Don&#8217;t wait &#8217;til you get tight to stretch on the course. You should be constantly moving your body and stretching your joints while you play. I see and hear too many golfers complaining of tight lower backs or shoulders during the round, What amazes me is that with all that complaining they do nothing about it. Why? Think of your body as a machine. If the machine starts to break down ? fix it. I mean stretch those areas while you&#8217;re playing. You&#8217;ll see a big difference in your swing mechanics late in the round.</p>
<p>5. Snack while you play. No I don&#8217;t mean the full meal at the turn with a beer. I mean bringing fruit and nutrition bars to eat every 4-6 holes. When you supply your body with the proper nutrients your energy levels stay balanced and you will avoid those mental lapses late in the round. How many times have you had a good score only to blow up late in the round? I&#8217;ll bet more than a couple of times. I know I have. Treat your body like a Ferrari not a Ford Pinto.</p>
<p>These tips if applied, will definitely improve your golf performance!</p>
