Your Family May Not Appreciate Vacationing at a Golf School

2011-06-23T20:58:00.000-07:00

Don't forget the family, if they are traveling with you. You will have to find one of the Arizona Golf Schools with them in mind. You don't want your wife and children to hang around the course all day getting completely bored if you hope to persuade them to come again next year! There is plenty in Arizona to keep your family amused, but you have to plan it in advance and not just hope to find something when you get there.

Once you have found a golf school in Arizona that offers you what you want, at the price you want (though more often that not it will be a compromise between the two) make sure that everything is in writing on your confirmation. It's too late to complain when you get there unless you have something with you in writing that supports your complaint.

Arizona is great location for playing golf in the winter, and I can think of little better than enjoying the winter sun while improving your game and lowering your handicap.

Finding Wholesale Distributors Made Easy

2007-08-06T10:51:00.000-07:00

Do you ever wonder why some people can sell items on Ebay cheaper than other people? The point of selling items on any site or in a brick and mortar store is to make money. So how can some people sell items so cheap and still make money is the question that begs to be answered.

The short answer is by finding good wholesale distributors. This morning I googled wholesale distributor and found that 14,000,000 sites were listed. That's 14 million sites! And the problem is getting through that mess to find legitimate liquidators that are willing to work with you.

You know, when I first started selling on Ebay, I did what everyone of you has done. I went to google or msn and typed in wholesale or wholesale distributor, and I expected that it would be easy to find the perfect Wholesale Lots for whatever item that I wanted. Well let me tell you something: there is a lot of garbage out there.

If you want to, type in wholesale distributor in one of the search engines and see what you can come up with. Or go to Ebay and type in wholesale distributor and you will find over 50 that are selling wholesale distributor lists for as little as 99 cents. Now let me ask you a question, do you think that a 99-cent list is worth anything? Do you believe that they just copied a list that someone made up years ago and now they are trying to make money selling the outdated list to gullible people that don't know that wholesale distributors change all the time.

Don't get me wrong; there are a lot of good Lots Liquidations out there. But they are buried somewhere on the 23rd page because of all of the other "so called" wholesale distributors that are buying from the real ones and then marking up the price and pretending to be true wholesale distributors.

Now that I have told you the problem that everyone that is looking for wholesale distributors faces, I am going to give you my solution. I have been a business owner most of my life. I have owned several retail businesses, and the hardest part was finding good wholesale distributors for the items that I was looking for. I spent hundreds of hours searching the internet and calling salesmen and going to wholesale distributors in Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, and Memphis. I have never made to the wholesale distributor shows in Las Vegas, although I am told that the best one is there.

I have a filing cabinet full of catalogs from hundreds of wholesale distributors that I found to be some of the best wholesale distributors out there. What I decided to do was help other people find wholesale distributors by telling them about the ones that I found. And the information is free. I am sure that there are hundreds, perhaps thousands more out there that are good wholesale distributors and I continue to search to find the best.

I can't guarantee that you will make "a million dollars" using these wholesale distributors, but I will tell you that checking out the wholesale distributors on my website will make it easier for you to find good wholesale distributors that will help you in your business. Finding wholesale distributors can be easy if you know where to look, and I suggest that you look at my website to find the ones that you want.

The Midwest’s finest are as good as it gets

Northern Michigan

Mackinac Island. There’s much more to this quaint island than just the world’s best fudge. Since no cars are allowed on the island, you must arrive by ferry or via the 8,614-foot Mackinac Bridge—North America’s longest suspension bridge physically connects Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas. You can get around the island only by foot, horse carriage or bicycle. Then there’s the charming, 385-room Grand Hotel with the world's longest front porch. The 120-year-old, elegant hotel was the site of the 1979 movie, Somewhere in Time. Be sure to catch the island’s state park, honored by National Geographic as one of America’s 10 finest. For more info, visit www.mackinac.com.

Sleeping Bear Dunes Natural Lakeshore. Located in northwestern Lower Michigan, along the shores of Lake Michigan, it’s roughly 25 miles from bustling Traverse City. Disney’s FamilyFun magazine calls it the “Number One Midwest nature escape for families,” and rightly so, as this 70,000-acre getaway features 35 miles of wide, sandy beaches directly on Lake Michigan, massive sand dunes perched atop towering headlands and pristine inland lakes and streams. There are plenty of water sports, hiking and outdoor activities for people of all ages to participate in.

Frankenmuth. Roughly an hour northwest of metro Detroit on I-75, this Bavarian-themed town has a zoo, top-rated golf course and a main street packed with hotels, gift shops and large restaurants specializing in the world’s best fried chicken. The most-famous stop on South Main St. is the all-encompassing Zehnder’s of Frankenmuth, home to Splash Village Hotel & Waterpark, the 6,813-yard Fortress Golf Course and the town’s most-renowned eatery. For more info, visit www.frankenmuth.org.

Minnesota

Brainerd Golf Trail. Roughly two-and-a-half hours north of Minneapolis there are 20-plus courses on 17 sites, amounting to more than 300 holes of golf, in the scenic Brainerd area. There’s also plenty of lodging in town, ranging from upscale lake resorts to modern hotels, which is why it’s ranked as the state’s top stay-and-play golf destination. Courses here share a blend of lakes and woods—without the high green fees you might find in comparable golf destinations in other parts of the world. For more info, visit www.brainerdgolftrail.com.

Treetops FallPaul Bunyan Tributes. Seen that truck commercial on TV, where it drives up to a diner bearing a large (perhaps life-size) statue of Paul Bunyan? That’s in Brainerd Lakes, which claims ownership of the mythical lumberjack. Thus, tributes to him can be found all over town. The most famous Bunyan statue is located at Paul Bunyan Land at This Old Farm Pioneer Village, just east of Brainerd on Highway 18. It’s surrounded by the entire collection of rides from the former Paul Bunyan Amusement Center, which closed in 2003. The newest Paul sits at the Brainerd Lakes Area Welcome Center, where visitors often climb on his lap for photos. Many other Bunyan statues are around, including a talking version, as are his flashlight (at Brainerd’s water tower) and wooden axe (outside Crosslake’s Ace Hardware).

Walleye Pike. No trip to Minnesota is complete without tasting the official state fish, walleye pike. Many restaurants serve it, in one preparation form or another. TJ’s Supper Club in Deerwood serves it deep-fried, with au gratin potatoes on the side. Right on a lake, the restaurant also dishes up a fantastic Sunday brunch that includes pike.

U.S. Hockey Hall Of Fame. Three hours north of Minneapolis, in Eveleth, Minn., this hockey museum celebrates American hockey by honoring and recognizing outstanding hockey contributors and capturing the true spirit and excitement of hockey. Inductees include many famous U.S.-born stars and members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team.

Wisconsin

American Club. Once a dormitory for Kohler’s immigrant employees, this AAA Five-Diamond resort hotel in Kohler—90 minutes from Milwaukee—features unique, luxurious decor that creates a singular experience room by room. Because bath-furnishing mogul Herb Kohler owns the resort, no two bathrooms in the hotel are the same. The Horse & Plow restaurant/sports bar is second-to-none for casual fare. Next door, Kohler Waters Spa offers nourishing treatments, massages and all-day experiences. Stroll through the streets of Kohler for a morning walk.

Green Bay Packers Hall Of Fame. The 25,000-square foot facility, located inside Green Bay’s Lambeau Field Atrium, lets visitors relive the most exciting moments in Packers and NFL history. You can see, touch and feel 80-plus years of football through 80 exhibits, including three Super Bowl trophies and a re-creation of Vince Lombardi’s office. Also, a children’s interactive area lets little fans experience what it’s like to play for their favorite NFL team, which in this area better be the Packers. For more info, visit www.packers.com.

Become a Better Gambler

2007-07-02T07:08:00.000-07:00

Most casual bettors don’t make a profit from their sports-betting hobby. This includes bettors who are relatively sharp as well as those who couldn’t pick a winner if their lives depended on it. That’s not a horrible thing, either. If every bettor won, sportsbooks would be going belly up far more often than they do, and bettors would run out of places to play. And many bettors really don’t care very much about earning a long-term profit. They like to have some action on games as a form of recreation or excitement, not as an investment decision. Many of these types of bettors are far more interested in TV games than anything else, and they tend to bet more on bigger games, like the Super Bowl or the NCAA Tournament.

Much of the industry considers money management as important as picking winners, and rightfully so. But throwing around buzzwords like ‘money management’ and describing esoteric concepts like ‘isolate a percentage of bankroll’ and ‘positive expectation bets’ really doesn’t help the fortunes of most recreational bettors. If you are content with betting solely for entertainment purposes, then this essay will serve little purpose. But if you wish to be a successful sports bettor and earn a profit from your betting through an extended period of time, here are some tips that should help in that quest.

1) Don’t bet into bad numbers Professional handicappers recognize the value of the half point. On the average college-basketball card for a Saturday, for example, there are at least six games that are won or lost against the spread by a point or less. A pro bettor will be on the right side of just about every one of those decisions. A professional will either getting the push when others lost, or the bettor will get the win when others pushed. The pro will take the extra time to shop around for the best number at multiple sportsbooks. The pro will have accounts that are funded in enough places to ensure that a bet can be made at the right place and at the right line. The pro will have an idea of which direction the line is likely to move, which will help in capitalizing on an advantageous number.

A professional will take these calculated steps, and as a result, a pro will win these close games more often than not. If a pro bettor a modest 20 bets a week (which equals out to roughly 1,000 a year, a number that is on the low side for most professionals), it is not unusual to gain an extra 10 or 15 victories a year and another 10 or 15 pushes just by betting at good numbers. Assuming the bettor is betting a modest two percent of his bankroll on any given play, those 20 or 30 favorable decisions translates into a 40-60 percent swing in the return on a sports-betting investment. That is a profile on how to earn profits one half-point at a time.

2) Make more straight bets and fewer parlays Professional bettors make the vast majority of their bets as straight bets, not as parlays. For amateurs, the number is closer to 50/50, and there are many, many amateurs who rarely straight bet at all. But the straight bet is the pro’s bread and butter. Professionals are satisfied with the return on investment from a 3-2 day or a 12-8 week. They are in it for the long haul and not always the quick score that parlays provide. Amateurs are often lured by the big paydays that winning parlays provide, conveniently forgetting that a slow and steady winning approach will yield more profits. Straight bettors are pleased with taking more victories than losses because it will produce a profit every time. Parlay bettors would not be satisfied by this outcome. There’s a reason that every sportsbook in Las Vegas has their parlay cards prominently displayed. Frankly, parlays pay the bills at most joints in Las Vegas. That’s not to say pro bettors never go for the long shot score. But when they do, they do it for a considerably lesser percentage of their bankroll, and they do it in conjunction with their straight bets, not in lieu of them.

3) Concentrate more on box scores and less on final scores It’s easy to look at the final score of a game and make all kinds of false assumptions. But without reading game recaps and looking at box scores, you really have no idea of what took place and the current form of the participating teams. It’s key to handicap games again after the games are over. Ask yourself some questions: What happened that you expected to happen, and what was a surprise? Which things are likely to repeat themselves, and which are something of an anomaly?

Here’s a fictitious example: The Pistons play the Bulls at home as nine-point favorites, but win by only 97-90. However, after looking at the box score, it’s clear that Detroit dominated for most of the game. The Pistons won the rebounding battle and forced the Bulls into turnovers. They led by double digits at halftime and after three quarters. But the Bulls hit some late shots in garbage time and closed the gap late. On that same night, the Raptors are nine-point favorites to the Nuggets and win by that same 97-90 margin. But the box score here indicates a whole different story. The Raptors trailed throughout this game, but got hot in the fourth quarter to steal the victory. Toronto made an uncharacteristic 27 of its 30 free-throw attempts and hit 10 3-pointers. Denver shot just 4-for-19 in the fourth quarter.

By examining the box scores, you can recognize that the Pistons are in better form than the Raptors and/or the Nuggets are in better form than the Bulls. This sort of deduction can make your future wagers involving those teams more likely to be successful, even though the final scores of the two games were exactly the same.

4) Take advantage of value Linesmakers have a pretty good idea of which way the money is going to flow once they hang their opening numbers. Amateur bettors are a big part of this, falling in love with ‘public’ teams and betting them over and over again. Public teams usually refer to the team with the most media attention. In college sports, these teams are usually in the top-25 and from a major conference. In pro sports, these teams are the hottest teams or teams at the top of their respective divisions or conferences. The professional bettor will recognize this public bias, notice that the lines are inflated for many of the best teams in the country and either bet against many of the good teams or pass on their games entirely.

The pro bettors concentrate much more on backing the teams that have fallen underneath the public’s collective radar, as well as fading some of the mediocre squads that are in poor current form. The pros bet against top-25 clubs far more often than they back them. Because the teams are the most recognized, a bettor will catch six points on the underdog instead of four.

It’s equally important to recognize when the linesmakers have priced you out of a play. When a team is flourishing, it becomes more and more risky to side with them. A team's value dwindles as their success grows, and a professional bettor will always be able to spot this trend and stay away from supporting these teams.

5) Be smart when betting your streaks It’s one of the most common mistakes that amateurs make, and it’s quite possibly the most costly. They press their losses, raising the stakes to get back to even off a losing streak. Pro bettors know that there will be times when you lose more than you win. Hopefully, those times are few and far between, but inevitably, they will happen to everybody. Rather than raising the stakes during those times when you are having a bad run, the pro lowers his stakes, conserving bankroll while waiting for things to turn around. A professional bettor will avoid a perilous approach. Conversely, the pro knows that winning streaks are the time to press your bets, not the time to pull back with a conservative approach. When a pro bettor is in good form and good rhythm, the professional will not be afraid to raise the stakes a bit, making larger plays when the percentages are favorable (positive expectation wagers). It sounds so basic – don’t chase losses and ride your winning streaks. But few amateur bettors have the discipline.

Putter Assembly

The putter is probably the easiest golf club to assemble but can lead to the most trouble for the clubmaker. Rarely is the shaft in need of tip trimming and usually no ferrule is required. Assembling the components is a simple process of abrading the tip of the shaft and making sure the hosel is clean. Once the butt of the shaft is cut and gripped with some well-placed epoxy, the club is ready.

It sounds easy, and it is. However, if the clubmaker does not take the same steps and use the precision that is used with the rest of the clubs, bad things can and will happen. The reason for this is that many clubmakers think of the putter as a non-swinging club. The head will never fly off because people don’t swing it fast or dig it through the turf like an iron. It is barely swung at all.

But the putter can be your worst nightmare. Have you ever seen someone miss a putt and toss the ball in the air and try to hit it fungo fashion with the putter head, or swing the putter very hard out of anger? In both cases the head may become a projectile if the assembly process is not followed properly. Others use the putter from way off the green and swing it almost as hard as an iron. It better be able to withstand the toss or throw to the bag from the bad-tempered, ill-skilled stroker. The head should stay on the shaft in all instances, regardless of the owner’s bad habits or temper tantrums.

The putter is another mark on your resume. It may be a blemish, or it may be a gold star. A clubmaker should build clubs to last forever and treat them all equally. No one club should be given more attention than the rest because they can all potentially come back to haunt you or bring you more business.

Go Topless

Go Topless If you tend to skull your fairway woods, it’s because you’re catching the ball on the upswing, often caused by trying to scoop or lift the ball up. To fix this problem, you have to understand that solid ballstriking is sometimes a game of opposites. To hit the ball higher with a fairway wood, you actually have to hit down - as opposed to up - on the ball.

To eliminate skulled shots with your fairway woods and hybrids, start by making sure that your ball position is no farther forward than the inside of your left heel. The ball should be positioned at the base of your swing arc so the club makes contact with the ball at the lowest point of your swing. If you’re going to error, you’re better off hitting the ball with a downward blow than an upward blow, so make sure the ball is never too far forward. Despite what you may have heard, moving the ball back in your stance can help you hit it higher by imparting more backspin to the ball. More backspin equals a higher trajectory and also works to negate damaging sidespin.

To practice, begin by putting a tee in the ground where you normally would hit your fairway wood. Instead of hitting from that tee, place another tee - this time with a ball - two inches behind the empty tee in front. As you hit a few shots, focus on grazing the empty tee after you make contact with the ball. This drill will help you train yourself to hit the ball on a descending or level plane, as opposed to an upward, ascending arc.

In addition, give this drill a try with your hybrid clubs, irons and wedges - all clubs that require a downward-to-level blow for consistent contact. With your hybrid clubs, separate the tees one to two inches apart, and with your irons and wedges, an inch apart will do just fine. After a few practice sessions, the topped shot will make its way out of your repertoire.

Clubmaking Tip for May 22, 2007 from Midwest Golf

2007-05-22T11:01:00.001-07:00

Removing Iron Heads from Steel Shafts

Leverage Block and Pro Shaft Clamp

The Pro Shaft Clamp (A.) and the Leverage Block (B.) are used in unison to remove iron heads from steel shafts. No matter how tight the fit between the hosel and the shaft this pair of tools will deliver success every time. When a steel-shafted iron comes in to the shop for shaft removal, I choose between two methods for shaft removal. One is where I lock the head in the vise, heat the hosel and rotate the shaft free by twisting the grip end of the shaft. When I think the iron head will be difficult to remove because of the tight fit between the shaft and head (tapered shafts) I employ the Leverage Block and the Pro Shaft Clamp to do the work of twisting the head free from the shaft.

Remove all vise pads from the vise. Place the center of the three slots of the Pro Shaft Clamp around the iron shaft roughly 2 inches from the top of the hosel. Lock the Pro Shaft Clamp in the vise making sure the teeth of the vise are positioned in line with the shaft. This creates the tightest pressure available and prevents the shaft from slipping when the head is eventually turned. This is one of the keys to making these two tools work. Heat the hosel of the iron with a propane torch for about 15 seconds with a 2-inch flame. Take the Leverage Block and hold the handle with one hand and the tines with the other. Place the iron head between the two tines and twist the head the direction of the face. Using only one hand on the leverage block handle will likely exert side pressure on the shaft and may cause shaft breakage. When used properly the shaft should remain still and only the head should twist. If the shaft twists in the Pro Shaft Clamp tighten the vise by using the Leverage Block on the vise handle. If more heat is necessary, use a 2-inch flame for 6 full seconds. Once the head is loose, grab it with a gloved hand and clean the hosel.

Taking Distance Driven Geometry® to the Next Level.

The Cleveland HiBORE XL driver features a special geometry that moves weight lower and deeper into the clubhead, optimizing the center of gravity (CG) location for ideal launch conditions. For maximum ball speed, the XL has a larger sweet spot compared to traditional large-volume drivers and, paired with the deep CG, its high moment of inertia increases stability on off-center hits. The result? Greater overall distance and tighter shot dispersion over the entire face.

Cleveland Hibore XL Driver
Price: $299.99

Cleveland HiBORE Iron Set 3-PW with Graphite Shafts
Price: $699.99

Because the clubface and hosel are cast as one piece, HiBORE irons have no welding spots, so the sweet spot is the size of the entire clubface. They're also more forgiving, thanks to hollow construction and an oversized face. The hollow design moves weight away from the face and positions it lower and deeper in the head to increase stability (moment of inertia) and accuracy.

Golf Tip - Tee Height

2007-04-24T11:47:00.000-07:00

The USGA has implemented a rule that limits the golf tee to a maximum of 4 inches. The USGA states that if a player uses a non-conforming tee they will face the most severe penalty in golf - disqualification.

Tee height affects the launch and the spin on the drive. In testing it has been proven that the average player can significantly increase their driving distance if they simply tee it higher. How much distance? We have seen average gains as much as 23.08 yards when we had players switch to a 3-inch tee. The taller tee produces a higher launch angle with lower spin resulting in greater distance. Failure to utilize a taller tee can negate any of the benefits of the latest drivers.

So, why is the USGA penalty so severe? It is because they recognize how much a taller tee can increase distance.

Viper Ti-462D Draw-Biased Driver Head

For players who slice, Snake Eyes has the answer. The Viper Ti-462D features a slightly offset hosel, closed face and upright lie to help promote a draw. Dual triangular sole cavities hold 16 grams of permanent weight located in the heel of the driver, making it easier to close the face at impact. This weight in the heel moves the clubhead's center of gravity slightly to the heel side of center, increasing the draw gear effect when the center or toe face makes impact. The result? Longer, straighter tees shot.
