Increase Your Golf Swing Speed With Exercises
One of the quickest and most effective ways to increase golf swing speed is by engaging in weight training exercises. You don't have to enrol at a gym for this if you do want to spend so much.
A simple weight, like a bowling ball or a dumbell, will do the trick. What weight training can do is make your upper, core and lower body more enduring, because, well, golf as a sport does take a lot of muscle control.
Do Lunges
1. Stand up with your arms hanging straight down in front of you, while holding your chosen weight with both hands.
2. Slowly step forward then simultaneously turn your upper body toward the side where you made the step and pose the weight perpendicularly to your lowered leg.
3. The weight should be level with your chest the entire time.
4. Count 2 secs then return to your original position (standing up) with your feet together.
5. Count another 2 secs then do the same for the other side of your body. Do three sets of these with ten lunges on each side for every set.
Another way to increase your golf swing speed is to do rotational exercises. These are very simple moves that can be done even by the most senior of golfers. It helps boost muscle strength and endurance.
1. Sit with your back straight and place a club on your shoulders (behind your neck), holding each end of the club with your hands.
2. Looking straight ahead, rotate your body slowly to the right and then to the left. You will notice a slight tightening in your body at the start, but this will eventually go smoothly when your muscles start to warm up.
3. Repeat this procedure slowly for around 5 times on each side, then increase your speed thereafter. Go for ten turns for each direction and make three sets.
It is advised that you begin with the rotations first before you do the lunges, so your body won't be surprised too much and react adversely.
Remember, while golfing is not exactly considered one of the most strenuous sports around, you still need to exercise if you want your swings to get better. Golfing is not as wimpy as non-players think it is.

The Super Bowl 2005-2006: Iron Men and Girlie Men
Did you watch the Super Bowl? I slept through the third quarter because there is switch in this old mans body that turns to OFF and there is nothing in Gods Universe that can take it off automatic. So I sleep for part of all football games. I just can't get that switch set to halftime.
I also miss part of each game because I read while Im watching the game. If not reading, Im doing a logic puzzle. If not reading or doing a puzzle, Im out in the kitchen brewing something up. So I never see all of a football game. not even the Super Bowl, the football game of all football games.
Despite my inattention, yesterdays football game was to my liking. Too often the Super Bowl turn into a rout. But this was a match of endurance and strength and the Steelers pulled off a great victory.
Seattle should hold their heads high. They played great and they lost like men. They had some bad luck too. They actually lost by inches if you analyze some of the caught passes that didnt count as receptions.
I live in the Northwest. Seattle is the preference up in these parts. In fact my son and his family live in Seattle. But we lived in Pittsburgh too. So, who ever won was okay for us. But Im glad that Pittsburgh won because I think that the Pittsburgh coach is a fine family man that does not mouth filthy words to his players when they make a mistake.
He said that he wanted to win the game for that old fellow you saw hoisting the trophy before it was awarded to him. Seeing the coach hugging his daughters and kissing his wife was just grand. What a day! Well, I like Seattle's coach too. Two fine men.
At halftime we had to watch the Rolling Stones. They may be of the species that Arnold Schwarzenegger, the weight lifter and Hollywood actor turned California state governor, calls "girly-men." What the hell were they doing on that football field? Well maybe some of their gyrations could be used by running backs.

Dont Forget Family Cruises
This is a very popular family vacation option and my personal favorite. Cruises with kids offer great value, choice and freedom! There are a lot of misconceptions about cruising such as it is only for older people and not suited for families, it is too rigid, there is nothing to do, youll feel trapped, youll get seasick, its too expensive! All is these statements are false and could not be further from the truth. Bring your kids along on almost any cruise and they'll have the time of their lives.
