Examination Room — Are Your Hormones Up to Par?
You can step out on the most sought after course in the world, with beautiful scenery, rolling hills and the greenest of grass, but if you’re not feeling well or your mind is not clear, the chances that you’ll step off that course happy after 18 holes are slim to none. The same is true in life. A great job, …
Elements of Style — Do Guys Need to Shower Every Day?
Despite the social and cultural norms of thinking you do need to shower every day, there are no medical or health reasons supporting the idea. Over-bathing can strip natural oils from your skin, nails and hair and can often lead to skin damage. Plus, your skin’s bacteria are beneficial to your overall health. Of course, there are some factors that …
Wayward Shots — Don’t Mess With the Golf Ball
They’re going to change the golf ball. I don’t know why, but they are. And they’re going to do it wrong. By “they,” I mean the USGA, the R&A, and the PGA Tour, in concert, perhaps, with the manufacturers. By “change” we mean not allow it to go so far. And by “wrong” – read on, please. The tipping point …
Instruction — Three Keys to a Good Swing
The golf swing has several different ways it can be taught. This can be dictated by the different shot patterns instructors and, for that matter, students like to see. But with all the different looks to a swing I believe there are three areas of the swing every golfer should achieve. These three areas are staples that can be interchangeable …
Elements of Style – Skin Care Decoded
Taking care of your face, on a daily basis, is a reality for anyone who does not want to look years older than his or her true age. Skin care is not a “women’s-only” club with secret rituals to which men are not admitted. Men also need to maintain and protect their face in order to improve our feeling of …
Waywards Shots — The Worst Masters Ever
Worst. Masters. Ever. There is not even any debate about it. Fifty years later, the 1968 version stands out as a singularly awful golf tournament. The event changed lives – not for the better – and damaged reputations. The result seemed so outrageous that it distracted us from many other outrages. That took some doing. Merely listing the negative milestones …
Tech Talk – The Ultimate Media Room
Media and home theater rooms are one of the most popular additions today no matter the size or value of a home. These entertainment rooms, which were once reserved for the elite, are now found in most homes around the country. Whether you are remodeling your theater room, converting to a smart home or building a new home and want …
Instruction — The Off-Center Strike
Ever hit a shot that vibrates your hands at impact? The feeling is from an “off center” contact to the clubface. This type of miss can also turn the club in your hands. It’s not a very good feeling and even worse when the temperatures are cooler. Conversely, there’s nothing better than making impact in the dead center of the …
Scene and be Seen – Footlong Fun
Spring is here and you know what that means: time to crack open a cold one, take the cover off the grill and set up camp on your patio under the glittering sunshine. Or, if you’re more keen on steps one and three only, Dog Haus has you covered for the dogs. In my opinion, hot dogs are an overly …
