OptimaFlex

I received a supplement called OptimaFlex to review from the TriVita Company. The really sad thing is, when I received the supplement in the mail I didn't start to use it right away. The reason why was because I was training for an upcoming charity basketball event and it never dawned on me to use the OptimaFlex while I was training. I had it in my mind that I would focus on it when the event was over and then give it my full attention to do a review about it. Boy, that turned out to be a huge mistake! If I had been taking OptimaFlex I probably wouldn't have injured myself. I ended up tearing my Achilles tendon on my left leg, which took me off my feet for 5 months. While I was off work and doing nothing, I pulled out the OptimaFlex box and started to read what it was good for.

[I want to preface this review with these thoughts: to begin with, this supplement is designed for people who play sports, including golf. My injury just happened to be while I was playing basketball. But golf is my passion and I am going to be sticking to this sport to avoid injuring myself any further. It's amazing how fast an injury can happen. So if you are athletic and you don't take any supplements please give this product and this review your attention to avoid possibly injuring yourself. Now that I am just playing golf, I feel an improvement in all my joints and this has given me a real boost of confidence. It makes me feel more secure knowing that I am getting my muscles and joints into better shape. I just hope my golf game will get better too!]

Here are the 3 things that this supplement claims to accomplish:

1. Helps to subdue and prevent inflammation

2. Keeps your tissue and joints healthy by increasing joint hydration

3. Reduces pain in your joints and repairs tissue

When I read that OptimaFlex helps keep your tissue healthy I felt like kicking myself. I had stretched before playing ball but my tissue and joints were not healthy enough to withstand the pressure that I was putting on my legs. So I unfortunately paid the price with a serious injury.

But there is a silver lining in all of this! While still in recovery I decided to start taking this supplement to see if it could help reduce my pain and inflammation and speed up the repair on my muscles and tendons. Within a few short days I began to notice that I had a lot more mobility in my left ankle and that the pain associated with my surgery was greatly reduced. It has been a blessing for me while I continue with my therapy. My therapist really puts me through a vigorous workout and OptimaFlex helps me to endure it.

I have continued to take this supplement and I am very pleased with it. I have now been golfing once a week and I have not experienced any set backs and I give OptimaFlex total credit for this. It's very simple to take. The supplement comes in single packets, which you mix with 3 ounces of water or juice, and it has a nice orange flavor. I'm not going to go into all the ingredients or which vitamins are used, because I'm not an expert in that field. All I know is that it worked and continues to work for me.

I am not affiliated with OptimaFlex or the TriVita Company, so I do not receive any kick back for this review. My opinion of this great product is strictly my opinion, but I must say that it does what it claims. In fact, while I am sitting here typing this review, I even have noticed that the numbness that I had been experiencing in my left hand, which I think is due to Tennis elbow, is hardly noticeable now. So now I have to really give this product a thumbs up!

Optima4

Within the same box that the OptimaFlex came in, there was also Optima4. This supplement encourages a natural boost of energy, focus, vision, and hydration. I didn't try Optima4 because I didn't want it to interfere with my taking OptimaFlex. So I asked my wife to try it. She did not like the flavor when it was mixed with water, so she mixed it in with her morning workout shake. Almost immediately she could feel the Optima4 working in her system. While at work she said she had more energy and she felt that she was more focused. Her rave review of Optima4 has inspired me to give it a try and I will be doing that very soon.

While doing this review, my wife ended up injuring her back. She tore a disk in the lower part of her spine. She is now giving OptimaFlex a try to see if it will help reduce the swelling she has in her lower back. With the success I had with it, I'm sure she will benefit as well.

We are both going to continue to use these supplements and I know we will benefit. I am very pleased with OptimaFlex and my wife is impressed with Optima4. Check out OptimaFlex and Optima4 for yourself and if you do, let me know what you think.

Purchasing Golf Shoes

Purchasing, or buying, golf shoes to some may be as easy as going to a golf store and finding a pair that looks nice. True, having a nice looking shoe is important but there are other things to consider. Looks or Brand name should not be the only consideration when purchasing golf shoes. A shoe should be comfortable and it should be well fitted to your foot. So many golfers forget this simple rule. So if you are considering purchasing golf shoes then here a few pointers to keep in mind. Please take the time to read these pointers because they can have a positive affect on your body and your game. Purchasing golf shoes should be taken as seriously as buying other golf equipment.

When it comes to playing golf, professionals, amateurs, including newbies and beginners, recognize that having the right golf equipment is essential. Aside from hours of practicing you may have noticed that there is that something extra that comes from having the right set of golf clubs or golf clothing. Not having the correct items can affect how one plays the game. One area that is often overlooked, though, is golf shoes.

There is a good amount of things that you ought to take into consideration while shopping for golf shoes. These include:

1. The length of your foot
2. The width of your foot
3. What type of arch you have

All of these elements will affect how your shoes fit and how comfortable you will be. In fact, if you pick out the wrong shoe for your foot then you could possibly increase your risk of developing an injury and you can hurt your overall golf game. Go to a reputable shoe store that sells golf shoes, such as golf store and have your foot measured for a proper fit. They can measure the different features of your foot and they can recommend what golf shoe would be best for you.

Getting a Good Price

Sports shoes can be expensive and golf shoes are no exception. If you would like to get the best price on your golf shoes then you have to shop around and compare prices. You'll discover that prices will vary from store to store, as well as from season to season. If you are looking for the best prices it is recommended that you shop in the off-season. But, if that is not possible, then watch for special sales that many of the shoe companies promote. Nike, Adidas, Etonic, and other popular name brands have great deals from time to time.

So don't ever forget the importance of having the proper equipment. This includes your feet! Buy golf shoes that will help you and your game.

Golf Advice for Beginners about golf bags.

There are basically three kinds of golf bags:

1. Staff bag or Tour bag
2. Cart bag
3. Travel or Carry bag

Staff bags and Tour Bags

These types of bags are normally larger bags that offer lots of storage space for your golf equipment. The vast majority of professional golfers use these types of golf bags. Most top of the line staff bags are made with leather and other premium materials and they are generally expensive.

Cart Bags

As the name suggests, cart bags are designed to be used by motorized golf carts, or push/pull carts. These have fewer pockets and are usually made of lightweight materials, and they're smaller than staff bags. Even though they offer less storage space, they usually have enough space for everything a golfer requires to carry with him. This type of bag would be a great bag to consider if you are a beginner, or a golf noob. This bag is also the perfect sized bag for women and juniors.

Travel and Carry Bags

If a smaller bag appeals to you and you're in the habit of carrying your own bag, you may opt to have a travel or a carry bag for your trek. Although they can vary in different forms and sizes, they're much smaller and lighter than staff and cart bags. They're designed purposely to have enough room for the basic golf necessities, but are small enough and light enough to be carried. These bags are extremely common amongst collegiate golfers, and those who travel a lot. They are a perfect choice for the travelling businessperson who doesn't have the ability to drag around their normal golf bag. These bags sometimes have built in stands, so you don't have to lay your bag on the ground.

Things to Entertain When Picking Out a Golf Bag

Weight of a golf bag doesn't matter if you're going to be using a golf cart, whether it is motorized, or a push/pull cart. But, if you intend to walk a golf course and carry your bag, then it would be good to choose a lighter bag that allows you to hold only what you need. The most ideal bag in this instance would be a carry bag with a stand.

Price is another thing to consider. Like most things, the more money you're likely to spend, the more features you may get. You can buy golf bags for as low as $40 or as high as $500 or more. If your budget is restricted, it's best to try and find a bag that best suits your golf game. You can easily find a golf bag for cheap that will have everything you need.

A particular feature of a golf bag that you may want to look for is pockets. If you normally carry a lot of equipment, it is recommended that you look for a bag that has many side pockets of various sizes. However, if you prefer to travel or to play light, then a bag with fewer pockets is what you want to look for.

Certainly, a golf bag cannot help your game directly, but it can affect your overall game. Pick a golf bag that best suits your needs, and pick a color that makes you feel comfortable. If you do, you will find that you will enjoy the game much better.

IRELAND GOLF TRIP

With the economy so bad right now, I can only wish to take a golf vacation. But if money was no object and I had the time, I would consider a golf vacation in Ireland. Doesn't that sound awesome? I think that Ireland golf would be vacation experience for the ages and one to cherish forever.

I think it would be spectacular to golf the homeland country of Padraig Harrington. In fact, he is going to be designing his first golf course and it is going to be an Irish course. Maybe I'd wait until his golf course was done. No, that would take a wee bit of time to complete. Besides, Ireland has over 400 golf courses to choose from and I'm sure that there would be a course to suit my type of game and I would plan on coming back for a second vacation when his golf course was done.

Did you know that over 1/3 of the world's links golf courses are situated in Ireland? So I'd have to say that the Irish know a thing or two about golf. I would plan on taking a golf tour. I'd want to play a number of courses that I've heard about, or read about. Such as Adare Manor, or the Ballybunion Golf Club. Can you imagine being able to walk the celtic fairways of Carton House Golf Club or the Royal Dublin Golf Club, or to test your golf game at Connemara, Castlerock, or at Ballyliffin?

I wouldn't know where to begin with all the choices that Ireland has to offer. They boast hundreds of sensational links courses and superb parkland courses. I'm sure playing golf on a seaside course, while viewing the Blue Mountains would be breathtaking. And then, topping off your round at a pub in a quaint village would be perfect. And of course, you would have to sample the excellent cuisine. One of these days, I'm going to do just that. I'm going to talk my croanies into saving their money to play Ireland Golf. Superb!

Golf Ball Compression

A lot of golf balls are rated by the amount that they compress. A compression of 0 contorts by 0.2 inches or more and a compression of 200 doesn't compress the least bit. Soft feel balls are low compression golf balls that have a measured compression rating from 50 to 70. Hard feel golf balls are high compression that are rated at about 100 to 110. The compression measuring can vary from manufacture to manufacture so some balls will feel different from other golf balls.

A golf ball for beginners who have a slow swing speed should play with a ball that has a compression rate of 80. Golfers with an ordinary swing speed ought to use a ball measuring compression of 100, and a ball that has a compression rated at 110 is best suited for fast swing speed golfers. The weather can also play a part in selecting the compression of your golf balls? Low compression balls are most effective in cold weather because the ball does not compress as much when it's cold. And the opposite is true in regards to high compression balls, they are more effective is warmer weather.

Hopefully you have come to a better understanding of golf ball characteristics. With this information and taking into account your golf game, you should be able to know now what kind of golf ball would be well suited for you. Make a note of these characteristics so that when you go to buy golf balls you will be able to remind yourself what to look for.

Thanks for reading and I hope that you now can answer the question, 'which golf ball is right for me?'

Part 4-Golf Ball Information
Part 1 was a discussion about one-piece golf balls. In the second part I dealt with two-piece, three-piece, and four-piece golf balls. Part 3 talked about low spin balls, mid spin balls, and high spin balls. In this segment we will discuss the feel of golf balls.

Soft Feel Golf Balls

Golf pros and low handicappers prefer to play soft feeling golf balls. These golfers have the ability to stimulate these golf balls to do what they like with them. They're especially appropriate for the short game where great feel and spin comes into play. High handicappers should typically stay away from soft feeling balls because they could loose some distance and the covers tend to mark up easily.

Mid Feel Golf Balls

The best ball for a mid handicap golfer is the mid feel ball since they offer adequate control, feel, and distance.

Firm Feel Golf Balls

If you hit a firm feeling golf ball you'll observe that they feel hard against the club face, almost like a rock! Golf balls that advocate distance off the tee, are usually golf balls that have firm feel. The bad news about these balls is, while they give you the distance, they lack feel around the green. Mid to high handicappers commonly take to these balls because they're looking for more distance and they're not too concerned about the lack of spin on approach shots, and having a softer feel around and on the green. These balls are very durable and don't scratch or mark easily.

Part 5 will deal with golf ball compression. Hopefully soon, you will be able to answer the question: 'which golf ball is right for me?'

Part 3-Golf Ball Information
In part 1, I talked about one-piece golf balls. Part 2 dealt with two-piece golf balls, three-piece golf balls, and four-piece golf balls. Now I will discuss balls that are considered low, mid, and high spin golf balls.

Low Spin Golf Balls

Low spin balls create less spin which doesn't allow them to carry as far in the air, but once they hit the fairway they roll more to compensate. The higher handicap player will treasure that there's less side spin as these balls have less propensity to hook or slice. Good tip for beginners, if your natural shot shape curves to the right or left, try a low spin ball to counteract the side spin.

Mid Spin Golf Balls

The mid spin golf ball is the one suitable for most golfers. They offer a combination of distance and feel affording nearly all golfers good distance and control. Occasionally the softness differs from brand to brand so you'll have to try some and pick the one that best suits you.

High Spin Golf Balls

These balls spin the most and they produce more backspin which keeps the ball in the air the longer and so has the longest overall carry. Although they will not roll far on the fairway, you'll get the benefit of greater control around and on the greens as they have good feel.

Part 4 will deal with the feel of golf balls, some are soft, some have a mid feel, and others a firm feel. By the end of these series of posts, you will be able to answer the question, 'which golf ball is right for me?'

Part 2-Golf Ball Information
Part 1 dealt with the characteristics of a one-piece golf ball. In part 2, I will focus on two, three, and four-piece golf balls.

Two-Piece Golf Balls

Two-piece golf balls have got a solid core confined within a cover, which is made of a cut proof material, making them really durable. These types of golf balls are the ones used by the majority of beginner, weekend, and casual golfers because they generate maximum distance. The reason why is because of the firm feel and low spin rate that these balls produce. This causes the ball to roll farther down the fairway. The drawback can be that you do not have the same control as a softer ball.

Three-Piece Golf Balls

These types of golf balls come with a solid or a liquid core, which is encircled by an outer core and wrapped with an outer cover. This is the type of ball that is favored by better golfers. Good players capture the most out of these balls because they have more spin and they have a much softer feel than a two-piece ball. These features allow for more control over your ball flight and trajectory, and they have more spin, which allows better control around the greens. However, the price for three-piece golf balls are much more than for one and two-piece balls.

Four-Piece Golf Balls

With golf ball engineering advancing at a rapid pace, the most recent improvement is the four-piece ball. These balls merge the features of good distance, spin, and feel ball. They're typically marketed towards the more skilled golfer, such as those on Tour. Each of the 4 layers helps the ball to execute to the maximum for distance, spin, and feel. You get great distance with the driver, a great deal of spin with your mid-irons, plenty of control with your wedges, and great feel with your putter. Again, these are like three-piece balls, they are much more expensive.

Part 3 will deal with low, mid, and high spin golf balls. By the end of these series of posts, you will be able to answer the question, 'which golf ball is right for me?'

Part 1-Golf Ball Information
A lot of golfers do not put enough forethought in selecting golf balls that are proper for their game. Perhaps you've never thought about it yourself. And so, the next time you purchase golf balls, make certain that you aren't merely picking out the golf balls labeled as the longest golf balls, for example, because it may not be the correct golf ball for you and your game. Or just picking a ball because your particular pro plays them.

So this brings up a good question, is there a means to determine which represents the most beneficial golf ball for your level of golf and your particular golf club swing speed? Yes, there is a way to do this, but you first have to grasp the role of each type of golf ball.

For the intention of this post, I am not going to go into particulars about diameter, weight, or the number of dimples on a golf ball. Rather, I'll do my best to explain some significant elements that can assist you in picking out a golf ball that's correct for you and your game.

One-Piece Golf Balls

One-piece golf balls are formed from a solid material and they are ordinarily utilized on driving ranges as a practice ball. While it can be really durable and cheap in price, it will not give you a great deal distance. Use a one-piece ball if you have to go over a hazard for example. If it goes into the hazard no big loss.

Part 2 will deal with two-piece, three-piece, and four-piece golf balls. By the end of this series of posts, you will be able to find the answer to the question, 'which golf ball is right for me?'

When it comes to golf for beginners, it is really crucial that you're mindful of certain things that you'll run across on the golf course. I've written before about golf etiquette for beginners and how to introduce golf to beginners for example by way of the driving range prior to heading out onto the course. But there are other things that you might not realize so I'll talk about a few here.

Tee Boxes

Something that you as a new golfer will have to know about is the tee boxes. Every golf course you visit will probably have multiple sets of tees. Many have at least 3 sets of tees: forward tees, middle tees, and back tees, often called championship tees. Other courses may have as many as 5, 6 or even 7 sets of tees. Most of these tees are color coded to help you know which one is which.

But, you may wonder, which set of tees should I play from? Golf for beginners is grueling enough just trying to hit the golf ball, but you also have to know how far you hit each golf club. You have to know how far you hit your clubs, especially your woods, because this will specify which set of tees you should be playing from.

At a course with 3 sets of tees, the rules of thumb for selecting the right set are pretty simple: the championship tees (back tees) are for low-handicap men. The middle tees are set up for middle to high handicap men, low-handicap or long-hitting women, and low-handicap or long-hitting senior men. The forward tees are primarily for middle or high handicap women and seniors, and beginners of golf.

Unless you know that you are able to hit the ball a long distance, with greatness of accuracy and consistency, then start from the forward tees. Later on, as you become more skillful, you will be able to pull back to the tougher set of tees.

Here is an awesome guidepost that you will be able to use to estimate which tees you ought to be playing from as a golfing beginner: if you're not able to reach the par-3 holes in one shot, or unable to reach the par-4 holes in 2 shots from the set of tees you're playing, it's a good sign that you need to play from the shorter set of tees.

Golf courses provide total yardages from each of the different tee boxes. Here's another general rule of thumb for deciding the distance at which to play on any given golf course (thus helping you to pick the right tee to play from): Take your average 5-iron distance (I said average, not your career distance), multiply that yardage by 36, and choose the tees that just about matches that yardage. As an example: I hit my 5-iron about 160 yards. So 160 X 36 = 5,760. So I choose the tees closest to 5,760 yards in length. Some of my friends play from the back tees all the time, but I try to always play from the tees that match my length of the tee. If you do this as well, you will no doubt make quicker progress as a beginner of golf.

Yardage Markers

All golf courses have yardage markers of some sort. What are yardage markers? As the name implies they mark yardages that tag various points from tee to green. For instance, you will most often find yardage markers denoting that you're 200 yards, 150 yards, and 100 yards from the green. In addition, a lot of golf courses put yardages on sprinkler heads and other objects found in the fairway. All of these markers can help you to determine which golf club you need to play. This way when you begin to play on the golf course and you come across a yardage marker you will be able to know how far you are from the green, and you'll be able to know which club to play.

But here is a question a golfing beginner may have: Are the yardages measuring to the front of the green, to the center of the green, or to the rear of the green?

Let's assume that the majority of golf courses are accurate in how they determine yardage. If they are then all yardages given are to the center of the greens.

A few golf courses will list multiple yardages on sprinkler caps or other yardage markers planted in the fairways. In these cases, the yardages listed are usually to the front, center and back of the green. Even so, if only one yardage is listed, it's to the center of the green.

The more that you play the game of golf, the more familiar you will become with yardage markers.

Golf for beginners requires that you know what yardage markers are for and what tee boxes are for. If you know these things then you will be on your way to hopefully enjoying the game of golf.

LOUD Drivers
The British Medical Journal has issued its determinations about the danger that titanium thin faced drivers can have on users ears. The study shows that doctors measured how many decibels were recorded when a titanium driver hits a golf ball. The safe limit for your ears is 110 decibels but a number of the current driver models on the market were way above that safe limit. One driver, the Ping G10, was measured at 128db! The doctors plan to do continued research at this year’s British Open, where they will measure the decibel ranges of the professionals.

What does this study suggest? It says that these new drivers may cause hearing loss. The explosive crack of a driver hitting a golf ball can be compared to the crack of a gun. It is being suggested that owners of these types of drivers should wear earplugs. I think it would be a great selling point. Advertise the db maximum of your driver and include a bag of earplugs with your purchase. I bet people would buy based on the highest db.

Here is a list of the drivers that were measured. All drivers were measured over 120 decibels:

1. King Cobra Speed Ld

2. Masters MC-Z 910

3. Callaway FTS

4. Nike SQ

5. Mizuno MX-560

6. Ping G10

To really drive home how loud these drivers are, here is a list of some of the loudest concerts on record:

Deep Purple: 117db; KISS: 120db; The Who: 126db; The Rolling Stones, Motorhead, AC/DC, My Bloody Valentine: 132db; Manowar: 139db; and an unofficial record set by Swans with 140db!

So, if you own one of these drivers, your driver is possibly a hazard. Not only do you have to avoid the hazards out on the golf course, but also now you have to be aware of potentially reducing your hearing on almost every hole that you play.

What? Huh? Did you say something? Oh, I'm up! Thanks.

Playing Golf As a Family
Whether for pleasure or for business, golf is a game that everybody should learn to play. Learning to play golf can easily become an addiction, filling up your weekends and your holiday travel plans. I didn't know how addicting to the game I was till my wife brought to my attention that it had been weeks since we had spent any time together. That's when I knew I had to make some changes.

Even though golf can be very complicated, many people, men and women alike, are still regularly developing interests in the game. Even children are learning to play golf. Junior golfers like Michelle Wie and the Song sisters have clearly proven to the world what junior golfers are capable of when they adopt the right approach in learning to play golf. Learning to play golf is for a few a very intimidating experience, but it can be much easier when you play as group. So I made up my mind to get my family involved with the game, so that we could spend time as a family.

Like I said, learning to play golf is challenging, but it should be approached as a game that's fun and enjoyable. So I took my family golfing and enjoyed a day together outside while getting exercise at the same time. Work, family and other interests can keep us away from the golf course and the practice fairway. But at the same time, golf can take people away from their families. But a nice thing is the convenience of practicing anywhere, anytime. Many driving ranges and learning centers have found it profitable to expand their offerings as family entertainment centers. So we now find the time to go and practice once a week and this has resulted in all of us having fun and getting closer.

I've been able to help my family with some of the problems that they were having. This has been fun helping them in learning to play golf. I am no professional but helping them has helped me.

One problem that I noticed was they were wanting to look up when they would hit the ball. This was very easy to remedy. I told them to keep their heads still, and to keep their eyes on the ball. This tip helped: count to five after a hit to avoid looking up too quickly.

Another common problem I noticed was when they were on the green; way too many putts were being missed. So I had them focus on maintaining the same speed on their backstroke as on their forward stroke.

My oldest son was standing too close to the ball and he was shanking it. I had him step a few inches farther away from the ball and he started to hit the ball much better.

My wife had a problem with alignment. She was lining her shoulders up with the target and was missing shots to the right. A tip that I used to correct this error was laying a golf club down on the ground and aiming it to the left of her target. Now her clubface was aiming at the target rather than to the right.

Learning to play golf is truly rewarding and addicting. I'm really starting to have fun with golf now because now I am enjoying it, not only with my friends, but also with my family.

Do you have trouble with hitting your driver straight? The majority of golfers regrettably bear this exact problem. Most of them slice/fade the golf ball to the right and it's an ongoing problem for a lot of players, especially for beginners. Possibly you've discovered that you hit your golf irons and your fairway woods somewhat straight but it is your driver that's creating the problem. You may even have detected that you hit your irons further than your driver.

Here is some golf instruction to get you started out upon the proper course. If you are a slicer of the golf ball and your mechanics are good, there are a few matters to check over in relation to your driver that can help you CURE YOUR GOLF SLICE.

1. Sample a driver with a weaker flex shaft. A good amount of players tend to choose a shaft that's a stiff flex. Whenever a shaft is overly stiff they're hard to load, and tough to square up at impact, which may create a slice. This is a normal fault among players that are new and old to the game! To neutralize this problem test a few regular flex drivers, perhaps even consider an A flex driver (likewise known as a senior flex). It can't hurt to make the time to demo a couple of drivers with varying shaft flexes. This is an important tip to help you cure your golf slice.

As a side note: A shaft that's excessively flexible in relation to your clubhead speed can snap closed. You do not need that to happen, or you'll wind up drawing or hooking your golf ball. The key to picking shafts can be to play the most flexible shaft you are able to control. This represents a really significant golf tip: use the most flexible shaft you can, while maintaining accuracy. Besides this, the additional flex could help you acquire some additional distance you perhaps are seeking.

2. Look for a golf shaft that has low torque. Torque impacts the shafts' ability to square up at impact. The smaller the torque value, the more efficient it will be at squaring up the clubface at the same time that it comes into contact with the golf ball, assisting you to cure your golf slice.

3. Check the grip size. A grip that's too big encourages a fade/slice; a grip that's too small encourages a draw/hook.

You can be fitted for all 3 of the tips that I've cited. By getting fitted for the right flex, the right torque, and for the suitable grip size, can drive you on the proper path to playing the game of golf, hopefully without the frightening banana ball, thus putting you on your way to having a cure for your golf slice.
