What Does Annika Know About Exercise That You Don’t?

03/31/2009

Think of your golf game. Visualize connecting with your drive and sinking your putt. Now think of exercise and how it relates to your golf game. Do you do a total body workout several times per week? Do you have a tailored fitness regimen that pays special attention to certain muscle groups? Do you even exercise at all?

Annika Sorenstam has an exercise plan which is adding value to her game as she rules the LPGA tour. There are three key elements to her exercise program that have produced successful results. Can you guess the three elements? They are commitment, discipline, and dedication.

Commitment:
It is crucial to commit yourself to an exercise program. Committing yourself to an exercise program demonstrates that you believe the program will be beneficial. It is also a good idea to be accountable. Write your commitment and set of goals in a workout journal or notepad. Make the commitment a reality by following a specific course of action towards your intended goals for best results.

Discipline:
Discipline involves sticking to the exercise plan. Don’t allow excuses to prevail. Once you have a specific golf fitness exercise plan, then follow it as it is laid out. If the plan calls for a specific core muscle exercise then do the core muscle exercise whether you prefer to do it or not. There are times when certain exercises are more preferential and beneficial in your exercise program. There are also specific times when stretching can be helpful to your game. Everyone has days when exercise is not at the top of their list of favorable activities. However, it is your discipline that will produce the consistency you are looking for in your game.

Dedication:
Dedication comes into play when the going gets tough. You will no doubt have obstacles along the way such which prevent you from following even the most detailed plans of action. Remember though that the main difference between those who are successful and those who are not usually comes back to a golfer’s dedication with his or her golf exercise program regardless of the interference. Top fitness doesn’t happen over night. It is essential to stick with your fitness program even if the results are slow to surface.

Annika Sorenstam has taken commitment, discipline, and dedication to heart. The results have been displayed through her successful LPGA record. Become healthy, fit, and strong by making exercise a focal point of your golf game. A decrease in your handicap will prove that your commitment, discipline, and dedication to exercise were well worth it.

The Basics Of Learning Golf

Among all the ball games around, golf has been perceived as one of the most difficult. The reason being lies in the many talented and well-known sportsmen around which showcase talent like suggesting that the game leaves no room for novices and not-so-good but interested individuals.

Valid a reason as it may seem, the game in fact is not as difficult as one sees it and is as easy as 1, 2, 3. However, just like any other games available, understanding the rule of the game, the tactics by which you can earn that golf scores and all the significant terms associated with the game, you will surely hit the ball like a pro.

Gross Structure of a Golf Course

A real golf tournament is played on a golf course. A golf course is a land area that is designed primarily to take on all the activities related to golfing.

The land area where golf is played consists of several holes, usually from 9 to 18 holes, where the player has to put the hit ball into. The first player who gets to put the ball into these “holes” wins the game.

The golf is specifically engineered to have all of the following characteristic anatomical playing grounds:

1. A Tee
2. Greens,
3. Fairways, and
4. A number of hazards

There is no typical size for a golf environment for each golf course is designed to the management’s own liking.

An 18-hole golf area ideally has about 140 acres which is translated to 57 hectares. The relative distances of tees are characteristically longer for men than for women (5,900 to 6,400 meters for men and 4,000 to 5,000 meters for women).

An area called a “green” is usually the area surrounding the final hole in the tournament. This area is proximal to the fairway where the grass is cut so low that they are played with less restriction.

Hazards may come in different forms such as trees, high cut grass area, and water which serves as a deterrent to getting the balls into holes.

Playing Golf

Golf is typically played in different ways depending on the players’ agreed type.

In match play, one golfer or a team of golfers play in a tournament and compete with one another. The team who wins the most number of holes wins the competition.

Stroke play, on the other hand, is played differently where the player has to set the golf ball into the respective holes with fewer numbers of strokes. Fewer strokes before putting the ball into the hole means winning the game.

The Ferringo NFL Report – Saints Rise Up In Face Of Adversity

I’m a native New Yorker, and I’ve been a Mets fan all my life. They’ve had several phenomenal moments in my lifetime – including a World Series title. But by far, bar none, my favorite Met moment will always be the first major sporting event in New York City after the September 11th attacks. Trailing rival Atlanta 2-1 in the bottom of the eighth, Mike Piazza epitomized the spirit of a city and a nation when he crushed a game-winning, two-run home run to straightaway center. In the grand scheme of things it was meaningless – a silly play in a silly game – but at the time it meant everything.

I bring this up because that’s instantly what I thought of as John Carney kicked the game-winning field goal to lead New Orleans over heavily-favored Carolina on Sunday. On the anniversary of 9/11, which still echoes throughout this country, the Saints stared down the horrors that Hurricane Katrina left in her wake – death and destruction on a biblical level – and triumphed in a way that lifted their faithful followers out of the darkness, if even for just a few fleeting moments.

I know the Saints have been thoroughly rewarded and praised by the media for their effort (which is still miniscule compared to that of the rescue workers piecing together their home) but what they did on Sunday transcended sports. It did so in a way like nothing I’ve seen since Piazza’s home run. It showed an entire state, and an entire nation, what people are capable of. In doing so, they showed us all a little something about ourselves.

That being said, the show must go on. And did it ever this opening weekend. OK, so this is how The Ferringo Report is going to work – I’m going to use this space to analyze the weekend’s games, and toss in some nonsensical ravings and lunacy of my own. Then on Thursday I’ll be giving you my weekly Power Rankings, some injury updates and previews of the upcoming week’s games, and then, just for kicks, I’ll throw in one free pick. Enjoy, and don’t forget to tell a friend.

- Quote of the week that summed up media/fans complete overreaction to Week 1 results (compliments of the Fox commentator calling San Fran’s upset of St. Louis, after Michael Adams’ game-sealing interception): “That might be the most important play of the 49ers’ season!”

No kidding. Especially since their season is only three hours old. Relax boys. We have 20 weeks to go. That’s longer than most of my relationships have lasted.

- Yes, I was That Guy that drafted and started Willie Parker on my fantasy team (I won by 50+ points by the way).

Incidentally, the Steelers looked outstanding. I have to admit that I was a bit worried about them, but they physically dominated Tennessee like they were a high school band. Pittsburgh is just a tough, nasty bunch of badasses. They still need to get healthy, and will have a tough division to battle in, but don’t count them out of the Super Bowl mix just yet.

- Have you ever known what the right thing to do is, know it without any doubt, but do the wrong thing anyway? Like that time your friend’s ex-girlfriend came over to your place to “talk” about what a jerk your friend was. You knew you weren’t supposed to hook up with her – even though your boy bragged about cheating on her, after he bragged about how good she was in bed – but you did it anyway.

From a gambler’s perspective, that’s what I did this weekend when I included Minnesota and St. Louis in about 80 percent of the bets I made this weekend. I broke my own rule of not betting on either of these teams no matter how seemingly juicy the line. As a result, I broke even on a weekend when I should have cleaned house (the Kansas City game and the Jacksonville games might have been the Locks of the Year).

But I vow never to make that mistake again. I have a general rule never to bet on St. Louis and New Orleans. Minnesota is now firmly in that tempting-yet-maddeningly-inconsistent group. I’m on the verge of throwing Oakland in there, as well as Green Bay and Denver. I won’t say never, but it’s going to be very rare.

- Run the ball and play good defense. Run the ball and play good defense. Run the ball and play good defense. That’s what wins in the NFL. There were six quarterbacks that threw over 40 passes in Week 1 – Brett Favre, Kurt Warner, Mark Bulger, Trent Dilfer, Kerry Collins and Jake Plummer. Their teams went a combined 0-6.

- Miami proved exactly what we thought about them. They’re going to be good enough to compete, and good enough to shock a few teams. But don’t think they’re going to the playoffs. And I don’t care what the 49ers did. They’re still a four-win team.

- It’s pretty difficult to man two remote controls for two TV’s, each with the Sunday Ticket, while trying to satisfy 10 people wanting to watch five different teams. However, I think I performed pretty well.

The new Sunday Ticket channel that features eight games at once is tough to get used to, in part because the pictures just a little too small if you don’t have an 80-inch TV. However, over the course of the season it will prove invaluable.

- New England is still a juggernaut. I just don’t see more than three teams beating them this season. And that’s IF three teams beat them at all. I mean, it’s going to take a Herculean effort to outplay this club. I’m betting them to win every weekend.

- The Raiders play calling reminds me of how my college roommate, J-Meyer, used to play Madden. He would just drop back and heave the ball down the field hoping for a penalty or a touchdown. Sometimes it worked, but most of the time it was just garbage. They’re still the same old Oakland team – talented, but too sloppy to beat good teams in tough spots.

- How about Ray Lewis waving the American flag and hugging servicemen before the Colts/Ravens game? Yeah, because nobody represents the American Dream (and our shoddy legal system) like Ray-Ray.

- Remember when Mario used to get star power on Super Mario Bros. and become ridiculously fast and totally indestructible? Well, that’s what Carolina’s Steve Smith looks like on the field.

- Even though a sandwich of pepper jack cheese, pepperoni, and Ritz crackers covers three of the four food groups, eating about 25 of them doesn’t constitute a healthy meal.

- Get on board with Jacksonville. Seriously. As long as Fred Taylor is healthy, they are going to be a very, very good team. If they just had one physical, bruising back to spell Taylor, they would be a mirror image of the Carolina team that went to the Super Bowl a few years ago.

Also, Jack del Rio is going crazy on offense. We’re not talking put-an-axe-in-a-room-with-53-bloodthirsty-mutants crazy this time. We mean the good crazy. The Jags were employing four-and five-receiver sets. They had defensive tackles lining up as tight ends. Matt Jones is “Slash” on steroids (he had two carries, two catches, and was 1-for-1 passing). I like them going gadgets – especially early in the season – because now teams have to spend extra time preparing for their trickeration. However, I can’t help but wonder if they’re doing it out of some sort of desperation?

- Why I Hate My Favorite Team (Week 1): The Bears are on the Redskins 34-yard line in the middle of the fourth quarter, trailing 9-7. They just need like 12 more yards for a chip shot field goal and the lead. What happens? False start. False start. False start. Sack for ten-yard loss. Third-and-38 is something you don’t see every day. It was like watching a Pop Warner game.

- In 15 games this past weekend, the team that won the turnover differential was 11-2-2. That isn’t any amazing revelation, but I think people take that stat for granted. Don’t forget to research how teams are doing in that category before you make your picks.

- If San Diego misses the playoffs by one game they’ll have no one to blame but themselves. Antonio Gates was still serving a team-imposed suspension resulting from a nasty contract dispute. The team suspended Gates because he held out, but then turned around and gave him everything he wanted in his contract. Huh?

Well, in what was the best game of the weekend, San Diego found itself down by four to Dallas with under a minute to play and facing first-and-goal from the seven. This is precisely the situation when Gates is most valuable. But he was in street clothes. The result: incomplete pass to McCardell, incomplete pass to Peele, incomplete pass to McCardell, incomplete pass to Parker. Who else was missing from that role call? How about no touch for LT, which I didn’t understand at all.

- Last night Mike Vick once again proved why I think he’s not an elite quarterback. Yes, he was the most athletic player on the field and made some really big plays. He finished with 224 total yards, but he was sacked four times, threw an interception and had three fumbles (two lost). The last fumble occurred while they were in field goal range and nearly cost them the game. Also, Vick will be out by Week 6 if Greg Knapp keeps calling designed running plays for him.

- “Special teams can win games early. For whatever reason, it takes a few weeks for most organizations to get their special teams in order. Don’t be surprised to see more big plays than usual in the first few weeks.” The Giants proved me a soothsayer. They had a 95-yard kickoff return for a TD and a 52-yard punt return for a TD against Arizona, leading to their 42-19 romp.

- Dagger-Through-the-Heart Play of the Week: I have Minnesota in two teasers getting 6.5 points at home. They’re down 17-14 and Tampa is just trying to run out the clock after a Culpepper INT near the goal line. On third-and-six, the Viking let Cadillac Williams break a 71-yard touchdown run because they have absolutely no pride and absolutely no heart. It was like getting kicked in the nuts while watching your girlfriend cheat on you with the guy who just ran over your dog. Only worse. But again, that’s why you don’t bet the Vikings.

- My fiancé, commenting on ESPN “analysts” who were “reporting” on the pregame fight that got Jeremiah Trotter and Kevin Mathis ejected before Monday Night’s game: “They’re like a bunch of high schoolers gossiping in the lunch room.” Hilarious. And true.

- One last shout to the city of New Orleans. Au revoir. Your team is making you proud.

“Big Blue” Lives Up to its Name

“”"Big Blue”" Lives Up to its Name

When it comes to web hosting, “”Big Blue”" lives up to its name. IBM is a major player in the web hosting industry and has been achieving some significant customer wins. Some industry experts see large enterprise customers continuing to shift to firms like IBM, due in part, to their fiscal strength in an environment where hosting start-ups remain questionable for deploying business-critical applications.

On November 16th, IBM inked a deal with Dow Chemical to provide a five-year arrangement for the company’s end-to-end web hosting services. The contract covered all three stages of the Web production cycle – development, testing and production environments.

IBM’s strength in winning corporate customers is partially a result of the company’s large network of partners. For example, IBM has extensive relationships with telecom companies; some of which even compete with IBM for the same hosting clients.

Warren Hart, Director of Global Offerings in eBusiness Hosting Services for IBM says working with the Telco’s and network providers, instead of against them, is a win-win situation for IBM, it’s partners and their clients.

“”By having multiple network bandwidth procedures, it helps ensure availability and elevates services level performance,”" Hart said. “”We’re a huge fans of our [Telco] partners, but the advantage of IBM working alongside them goes to our customers who have a business focused on their needs.”"

IBM’s differentiation factor is that it brings to the table not only a solid infrastructure; facilitated in part by partners, but also extensive online business practices. IBM has developed applications for many large-scale events and companies. Few in the technology industry would question IBM’s grasp of the technological side of the hosting realm. Their deeply rooted technology-background is a unique attribute that provides IBM a competitive advantage over other hosts (including telcos).

Yet, IBM’s efforts in application hosting are shifting beyond the enterprise marketplace to the SME environment. As the upscale SME hosting market evolves, their remains a considerable battle ahead for marketshare. Some pundits have expressed concern that IBM may not be able to apply the same level of service offerings to the SME marketplace, due to the value-nature of smaller contracts. However, IBM is clearly positioning themselves to the contrary.

“”As a global organization we address more than the large enterprise,”" Hart stated. “”We have a great reputation and a strong track record in dealing with highly complex enterprise businesses, but there’s a substantial opportunity out there that reaches beyond the large enterprise.”"

IBM does have the advantage that the company can take software and services tried, tested and true for enterprises and scale them to meet the needs of SME hosting requirements. Obviously the average SME isn’t going to need the same hosting solutions as the huge corporations and eBusiness sites , but they do want the reliability, speed and trust that’s relative to the name IBM.

“”We’re increasingly focusing on the SME level,”" Hart said. “”We can lower our costs for the entry-level business. We’re more flexible, we can offer more attributes of self-services applications.”"

Paul Boulay, Program Director, Global Application Services for IBM Global Services notes that IBM is the one-stop-shop for SME, alleviating the hassle of having to go to different businesses to obtain the services they need.

“”Especially of interest in the small-medium business environment, where in the past the getting-started price tag was almost an automatic inhibitor, we’re able to go to that market segment now with a predefined offering allowing them to get up and running very quickly at very low starting costs,”" Boulay explains. “”Some of our entry-level offerings are priced well below $20,000 a month, which is extremely favorable for these types of applications.”"

IBM has over 200 data center facilities around the world and is reinforcing global reach, both for the enterprise and SME hosting marketplaces. However, with more than 67 discrete web hosting offerings, and the added confusion of application hosting, time will remain the determinant as to whether IBM can achieve simultaneous success in serving both the enterprise and SME hosting platforms.”

The Best Golf Fitness Exercises For The Quickest Results

03/19/2009

Golf fitness exercises that are the most effective are rotational in nature, incorporating your core. This is the engine to your swing! If your core is weak or restricted, you will have a very difficult time generating clubhead speed and power at impact.

Golf fitness exercises don’t need to be grueling, sweaty and in a gym to be effective. The beauty of athletic training is the value of using your own body and minimal equipment to get maximum benefit.

Many golfers feel they don’t have the time or resources to implement a golf fitness exercise training program; and yet they’ll hit balls 2-3 times a week and spend hundreds of dollars on clubs and gimmicky training aids.

If many of these golfers took a step back and asked themselves “have I improved with this approach”, I’ll bet most of them would say no. The reason being it’s not your equipment, it’s YOU! Your body dictates your performance. Period! If the machine is broken, the swing will be too.

I can’t say this enough. Until golfers realize it’s their body’s keeping them from a better game, they’ll continue to walk off the course frustrated and contemplating quitting the game.

I read a statistic the other day quoting how many golfers quit the game every year. It was a HUGE number! I wonder why so many golfers are quitting? I can only guess it’s because they are not enjoying it, because they have invested time and money and not seen results.

Implementing a few simple golf fitness exercises can make all the difference. I want you to picture the “main movement” in the golf swing. It’s “rotational!” So why wouldn’t you improve your rotational strength and flexibility?

This is a must!

You’ve got to come up with a program; hire a golf fitness trainer; or search for a program on the web by typing in terms like golf fitness, golf exercises, even golf training. Talk a little time reviewing the results and then ACT.

Get it going right away! Don’t put it of any longer. The sooner you start the sooner your game will improve.

To get the quickest results, take a look at core rotational exercises when reviewing these programs that implement golf fitness exercises.

A Good Golf Bag is important

Few things are more important to a golfer than a good golf bag. First off, golf bags come in many styles and a wide variety of colors. You can choose a bag for style, features or pick a color to match your mood.

Some have legs that fold out when they are placed on the ground and stand upright so the golfer doesn’t have to bend down and pick it up. That’s a nice feature in golf bags, especially if the golfer tends to walk the course, as many do. There is plenty of bending to be done when a golfer is trying to remove an obstacle from around his or her ball, or to get the ball out of the cup, so any way to avoid bending over is more than appreciated.

All golf bags have compartments where the golf clubs are to be placed. Each golfer has his or her own way of doing this and putting clubs where he or she wants them. Some golfers, though, are lazy and just stick their clubs in the compartments, grabbing whichever one they want when a particular club is needed. But, some golf bags have tubes to protect the club grips. These are nice to have. With the tubes, a golfer can get his or her clubs out easier. The clubs are never tangled up, and the grips last a lot longer.

Another important factor in choosing a golf bag is the number of pockets it has. Frankly, there’s no such thing as too many pockets in a golf bag. First, one of the pockets will be used to hold the golf bag’s hood. The hood is used to keep the clubs and bag from getting drenched when it rains. Another pocket will be used to keep extra towels (believe it or not, extra towels are important in the summer to keep the sweat off the brow and out of the eyes, along with keeping the hands relatively dry. Then, there is the pocket used for keeping the extra golf tees and possibly the divot tool. Finally, a pocket is needed for the golf balls themselves, and it doesn’t hurt to have a pocket to carry another dozen balls in, just in case.

Some courses are so difficult it is easy to lose a lot of balls during 18-holes of play. This makes having an extra box of balls around a good thing, but there has to be somewhere in the golf bag to keep them, which means another pocket.

Imagine trying to play golf without a bag. The golfer would be constantly stooping over picking up clubs, tees, balls, towels and the divot tool. Then he or she would have to walk to the ball, drop all of the clubs and stuff, select a club, hit the ball, and start the process all over again. It would be a major pain in the neck, and would make it nearly impossible to finish playing a round of golf. So, golf bags are an essential part of the game of golf.
