The earliest golf balls have been traced to late 18th century and were made of wood in Scotland. They were very susceptible to the elements and ended up with cracks. Early 19th century saw the advent of the feathery ball, made of leather and stuffed tight with feathers. This ball became very popular until the “guttie” made its entry, made of solid gutta-percha rubber. It was more durable and had stronger resistance to the elements.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports: “There isn’t a sports figure willing to speak as loudly and forcefully on issues of race as Barkley. He was right railing on his alma mater Auburn’s hiring of Gene Chizik over Gill as football coach. When everyone else is too fearful to talk about race and sports, he’s unafraid. He fears no repercussions. He doesn’t lose endorsements and he doesn’t lose jobs. In that way, Barkley is strangely immune.

I know what you’re thinking - golf on a budget! Can there be such a thing? Well, it is possible, if you take a balanced, objective look at the strategies used in marketing golf products. Case in point - I just interviewed a local golf shop owner today. We were talking about the new golf balls, and he was telling me that representatives from different companies send him golf balls to use, hoping that he’ll recommend them to his customers. Well, he said he’s tried just about everything, and in hi4 Great Places to Sell Your Stuff Online

It appeared to be a good excuse — or at least a plausible one: the Orange County Board of Supervisors needed a $326,000 remodeling project to cure fire code violations in the board’s lobby. The expensive project came under fire last week because the board was poised to lay off 210 Social Services workers, at a savings of $30 million. More layoffs are expected in the Probation Department. Still, who could argue with a remodeling project to fix a fire hazard? Well, the county employees’ union uQuantifying Nothing

After mastering the concept of the tee shot, the next step as a golf instruction beginner is to move on to the short game and what are known as approach shots.

Hawaii giddy to have Obama home on the island (AP) By admin | ON SANDY BEACH, Hawaii – When many islanders look at Barack Obama, they see not only the next president, but a skilled bodysurfer, a man who flashes the “shaka” or hang loose sign, and someone who wears the same rubber slippers they do.

People who love the game of golf have a pretty clear understanding of the importance of using high quality clubs. Many golf aficionados willingly spend a pretty penny on their golfing equipment and they are usually willing to continue spending money on various types of golf training aids to improve their game. But, many times, these same people completely overlook one of the simplest things they can do to help their game: changing their golf grips.
