Sport: Golf

I am by no means, a golfer. I have played once in my lifetime, not including mini golf. On my first hole I birdied and it was all downhill from there. I have a terrible golf swing and very little patience for the game. I think that I would probably enjoy it if I was somewhat better at the game.

I was checking out the perfect golf swing dot com and started reading the FAQ section. Slicing the ball seems to be one of my big problems. Luckily there was a question about it and an answer.

“Question: Why do I slice and periodically hook the golf ball?

Answer: The left hand is probably turned to far to the right or the left when gripping the golf club.”

Sounds pretty simple but there is a lot of science behind the perfect golf swing. The program was developed by Physical Therapist, Jim Clark. Before Jim developed the Perfect Golf Swing program he developed a state-of-the-art rehabilitation program for Stroke and Spastic Cerebral Palsy patients. Jim studied the patterns and motions of the professional golfers and coupled that with his extensive knowledge of the brain, muscles and joints to create the perfect golf swing.

I’d like to learn how to move my body in the precise motions in order to hit the golf ball and make it go where I want it to go. Maybe then I might start appreciating the game more.

Vacation Coming

I have a vacation coming up in 92 days. Well, you might be reading this on a day other than the one where I posted so it might be less days now. However you can always see when my vacation is coming because I installed the Mad Gringo‘s vacation countdown widget on my sidebar.

I love countdown widgets and well this one was so awesome I needed to add it to my sidebar. I’m going to be heading down to Orlando in February for a conference and then I’m getting a week in Boynton Beach visiting my in-laws. I need to start looking into kayaking opportunities now so that I can go while I am in Florida.
