Beginner or Novice Golfers: Start with a "Pre-Owned" set of Golf Clubs Written by Ernie Horning
Beginner or Novice Golfers: Start with a "Pre-Owned" set of Golf Clubs As a beginner or novice golfer, you want to avoid expense of purchasing a "New" set of golf clubs, and concentrate your efforts on finding a good set of "Used" golf clubs (also know as "Pre-Owned".) Major golf club manufacturers introduce new lines of clubs almost every year. With yearly advances in golf club technology, many golfers regularly upgrade their existing golf sets in pursuit of improving their game and lowering their handicap. This leaves golf club market flooded with high quality, bargain sets of golf clubs. The trade-in market has become so huge, that a few major golf club manufacturers have launched their own sites to meet demand, like "Callaway Golf" (www.callawaygolfpreowned.com.) The question is where, and how, do you find best set of clubs for you? Online is a great place to start. You want to get a feel for market by comparing prices of "Pre-Owned" clubs offered by thousands of sites advertising sale of used clubs (Searching "Google" alone will bring up about 700,000 sites.) Surf a few sites and compare quality and prices of numerous club sets. While you are on internet, E-bay may also prove to be beneficial in searching for your set of used golf clubs. The selection and variety of clubs available changes daily, so you will have to keep a close watch to find best deal for your golf clubs. Also, you may want to look for a "Beginner" golf set, which usually consist of #3, #5, #7, and #9 irons. Beginner sets of clubs normally include a "Wood" or two, and a "Putter" as well. At this point in your golf career, you really don't need to purchase a "full" set of clubs. Mainly, because you may not be playing golf very long or very often. The best choice may even be a "Pre-Owned" beginner set of clubs. Don't confuse a set of "Beginner" golf clubs with "Kids" golf clubs, which come in smaller sizes and/or lengths for kids. If you feel like you are bending over too far to swing clubs, they are probably too short. You should be able to stand fairly straight, with your knees slightly bent, and your arms should hang freely as you grasp club.
| | How to tow another kayakWritten by Jakob Jelling
While there are a lot of different techniques to get people back in their kayaks should they capsize while they're out kayaking, these techniques are not all foolproof. It is always possible that no matter what you try, there is no way you can possibly get all of water out of kayak. If this is case, then you'll probably have to drain kayak on beach, and then re-launch both kayaks.Knowing how to tow another kayak is an important part of being safe on water. After all, if there is some reason why other person cannot paddle back to shore, then you are going to need to provide a tow. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you cannot continue paddling, then you should also make sure that you're prepared to accept a tow. There are plenty of reasons why you might need to be towed, and you should not feel embarrassed about any of them. Anybody can become tired or injured, and you should always ask for help when it is needed, especially if you are kayaking out at sea. The first thing that you should do before you tow another kayak is talk to person in kayak. There are a lot of reasons why somebody might have to stop paddling, and you should probably determine which one is problem now. Once you determine that, you'll be able to provide a little more help than just a tow. For instance, if person in kayak is dehydrated or hungry, then you can provide food or water. If they are cold, then you may want to suggest that they put on more clothing.
