The Golf Corner |
One can say that the driver is the second most important club in your bag -next to your putter. A good drive sets the tone for the rest of the hole. Will you be scrabbling just to get back on the fairway, hoping for pars and bogeys, or would you prefer going for the green and birdies? By gaining a few extra yards from such drives, the subsequent iron shot will be that much easier, as will your chips, putts, etc.

Putting can be thought of as a game within a game, since many of the skills you need in order to be a good putter are different from those required for the rest of the game. Studies show that putting accounts for 43% of shots among better players. Can you think of a great golfer who wasn't a good putter? Amazingly, most beginners seek tips on everything but putting.
Try these five simple steps to putting perfection: |

Frozen Mammoth May Explain Extinction and Climate Change
Frozen in nearly the same state in which it died some 37,500 years ago, a Siberian baby mammoth undergoing tests in Japan could explain why the beasts became extinct - and shed light on climate change, scientists said on its arrival. Specialists say ‘Lyuba’, the name given to the baby-mammoth, is extremely precious since it is the first one ever found intact and undamaged. The 6-month-old gray and brown calf, unearthed in May by a reindeer herder in northern Siberia's remote Yamal-Nenets region, is virtually intact and even has some fur, though the tail and an ear of the animal were bitten off.
