Golf Tips - Top 10
Published Monday, March 24, 2008 by Andromeda88bnwcw.
I hope you enjoy my golf playing tips. This is my top 10 list of sorts; it contains helpful insights into the game of golf and the psyche it requires. Remember to read this with a grain of salt (around the rim preferably).
1) This is a game, only a game, it is not war and your neighbor is not the enemy. This should go without saying but feuds have begun and never ended over the exciting sport of golf. You should especially keep this in mind when playing your boss, there is no shame in letting your boss win.
2) The only person you should ever really play against is yourself. It sounds silly, but keep your old score cards; take note of improvements and declines (while everyone has a bad day a consistent decline could indicate a problem with your game). If you play only against yourself there really cant be any hard feelings when the game is over.
3) The looser always buys the beer. This works well if you are playing against yourself as I recommended. That way you are only buying beer for one. It makes for a much cheaper date.
4) If all seems lost and you have no club that will get the job done, a good nice kick could be in order (enough said).
5) Save the beer for the clubhouse and not the course. Hot beer tastes bad and you should never, ever drink and drive. You also never want to drive backwards on a golf course (see number 7).
6) The ducks on the driving range are not for target practice. Besides if you start aiming for them, the other birds might start aiming for you.
7) Let faster players go on ahead of you, especially in the beginning, besides its always better to be behind in golf, most people dont shoot backwards if you know what I mean.
8) If you are having a bad round of golf, start playing silly shots. You just might find your game improves when you stop being too serious. Seriously.
9) Be considerate of those around you. Wear a belt and tuck in your shirt please. No one wants to see a full moon in the middle of the afternoon, especially one that is reflected by the sun.
10) Unless you want to be the take and bake of the day, be sure you pack your sunscreen. Lobster is great on the menu, not on the golf course. Besides we deal with enough pain on the course without adding to it.
I hope you realize that my top 10 list is somewhat tongue in cheek. There are however some pearls of wisdom in there, particularly about the ducks. My overall point is that golf, while challenging is supposed to be recreational. In other words, youre supposed to have fun. I hope my little list reminds you of that very fact and you think of this the next time you are getting ready for a game of golf (particularly as you dress, see number 9).

Its a Wonderful Pet?
Published by Andromeda88bnwcw.
Isnt it funny how we dont realize what we have until its gone. Like the parent who pushes the kids off to college only to suffer from empty nest syndrome a week later, or like the guy that sells his hot rod only to spend the rest of his life drooling at ever car show in town. Wouldnt it be nice if you could have someone show you in advanced the consequences of your actions or show you what the world would be should you never have been born?
Just think for a moment, its evening, youre just getting home from work. You enter the house to be greeted by your family, but there is only one exception, there are no pets. No one ever thought to domesticate dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and even snakes. So you say your hellos and then start to get ready for dinner. Youre then told how your son is having difficulties in school because he doesnt communicate well with others. Mom and Dad were always working and without that pet to interact with he just kept to himself.
After dinner you sit in front of the television. You drape you arm over the side of the chair, but theres no fur rubbing against your hand. No dog to curl up at your feet. No cat curling around your neck. Then the phone rings, its your sister. Shes calling you because shes alone and needs someone to talk to, because she doesnt have those fish, an African Grey, or that lovable French Bulldog to talk to. She tells you about her blind neighbor who needs to have someone guide her around.
The morning comes as scheduled so you get up grab your shower, eat breakfast, and youre out the door. Wait, whats this, no morning jog? But you need to get that body weight down. Oh, wait, there was no dog to walk to give you that extra push to get out and get moving. You then turn on the radio to hear reports of wild dogs terrorizing the public, and uncontrollable amounts of wild rabbits causing numbers of auto accidents.
Finally you come home for lunch. The house is empty. The silence is maddening, you could really use someone to talk to or curl up on your lap. But that would be silly, because animals dont belong in doors, and animals are dangerous. As you sit there in your cold, quite house, you realize how truly alone you are. Then your silence is broken by the sound of your PDA chiming with a reminder that you need to see your Psychiatrist today. Hopefully he will find the root to your depression. As you walk out the door you think, There must be something missing! Suddenly you wake up to the feeling of a wet nose poking your face, a purring in your ear, and you breath a sigh of relief that it was only a nightmare.
How much would you miss pets if you sudden found yourself in a life with out them? Doesnt it make sense to enjoy every minute we can with them? So today take some time and just think about what your life would be without your pets. If you dont have a pet, just dialup your local shelter or rescue. Together we all can see to it that we never have to live a life without PETS!
