One trait Rod readily admits to is his propensity to impulse buying. And yet, when it comes to his dental health, impulse is not a part of equation. What really matters to him is excellence and experience. That is why he continues to see Dr. Kiser.

“I actually had a lot of my original smile work redone by Dr. Kiser. He is incredible with his ability to know what a patient wants and needs. As long as he is in practice, I will continue to see him. Why would I change? No reason to when you’ve got very best. I would highly recommend him.”

Something Rod and Dr. Kiser have in common is their concern for well being of children. Although Rod readily admits he wasn’t greatest father, he just as readily admits he makes a really good grandfather. As proud grandfather of two grandsons, ages one and a four, Rod is quick to offer advice on importance of giving love and guidance to children.

Rod has a great desire to keep his grandsons out of trouble. His concern is fueled by fact that many cities no longer have clubs for young boys to go in order to have a safe haven. He is a strong believer that kids need to meet other kids and together learn how to deal with life. Sports provide a great way to help kids learn how to do this.

When asked if you can tell if a kid is destined to be a pro, Rod is convinced that you intuitively know. It’s all in way they respond to a sport. Do they take to it or do they have to be forced? Although he believes parents should encourage their kids to get involved in sports, he also believes it is unhealthy to force them to do something that is completely out of context of who child is. He advises parents to take time to explore many sports available to them.

He is quick to point out that having a child sit in front of television or computer all day and night is as unhealthy as you can get. He strongly believes children need to be physically active. By same token, he also believes kids should be taught gift of reading. “There’s a whole world waiting to be discovered through reading. Get them to read newspaper everyday. Imagine what they can do with so much knowledge.”

Realizing how hard he had to work for his success, he wants others to know that no matter what they want in life they need to work at it. “Nothing was handed to me. How much time are people willing to put into their success? Problem with lots of people is they don’t want to work for something. And that’s not how life is. You have to put time in to become best. That’s just way it is. You can be born and blessed with ability but if you don’t take advantage of it, it’s a waste.”

When asked what he is most proud of, surprisingly it isn’t all awards and Hall of Fame recognition he has received. It is his three daughters and whom he feels have all turned out to be stellar women. And of course his grandsons.

With a mischievous smile he does admit his two most recent recognitions are something he is very proud of. As recipient of 2004 Utah Broadcasters Hall of Fame and 2003 Springfield Massachusetts Basketball Hall of Fame, Hot Rod has a lot to be proud of. A career that is envy and awe of so many, more awards than can be counted, fame and fortune, people world round that love and adore him, three great daughters, and two fabulous grandsons. Now that’s definitely something to smile about.

The goal when buying golf clubs should be to own best golf clubs you can afford, whether they are name brands, used, or a reproduction of one of name brands. Golf clubs can be purchased at many different types of establishments such as discount stores, buying clubs, specialty shops, catalogs, or Internet, which offers an almost limitless variety of clubs and bargains, including used golf clubs. The cost of golf club depends on type and where it is purchased. Retail stores and catalogs have pre-season, post-season and regular sales, but since someone, somewhere, has perfect climate in which to play golf at any given time of year, you may find it difficult to find a true bargain.
