You often hear people during golf lessons say: You drive for show, but you putt for dough. This old saying emphasizes the importance of putting. And it’s dead on. About 30 percent of your strokes during a round are putts. Many are from 10 feet in. These are pressure putts. They’re the kinds of putts you must make every time, if you want to record a low golf handicap. Here are five golf tips on how to sink more of these putts.
Tip #1: Train And Trust
Poor putting from 10 feet in isn’t always due to a bad stroke. Sometimes, it’s due to a lack of concentration. Two keys to making more pressure putts is (1) thinking positively and (2) focusing one swing thought. Don’t think about what happens if you miss the putt. Think about how to make the putt. In addition, pool all random thoughts into a single decisive thought before making the putting.
You can practice both tips by adhering to what experts call the “train and trust” principle. Practice often enough to train yourself to make a repeating stroke. If you do that, you’ll learn to trust your stroke. Then, when you have a 10-foot putt, you’ll be free to concentrate on the target rather than worry about hitting the ball squarely. It works for PGA pros, like Davis Love III. It will work for you.
Tip #2: Lighten Your Grip
Some athletic principles apply to all sports. One is that tension interferes with fluidity, causing you to miss short putts. In other words, tight muscles reduce speed and feel. Many great putters fear what tension does to their performance. So they compensate. They make it a point to hold the club loosely when facing pressure putts. A light grip pressure with your arms relaxed at address and throughout the swing frees you from all tensions. That lets you release the club freely with full extension. You’re less likely to push or pull the putt.
Tip #3 Keep Your Head Still
Keeping your head still is a must when under pressure. Many golf instruction sessions and written golf tips stress this point. That’s because it’s tried and true. Keeping your head still keeps the putter on path throughout the stroke. Weekend golfers often move their heads on short putts so they can see if the putt goes in. Sometimes, they peek too soon. Focus on the back of the ball until contact. Then, keep looking at that spot until after you count two. Listen for the ball to go in. This golf tip keeps your head locked in place until well after the stroke is made.
Tip #4: Lock Your Legs
If you move while putting, you’ll miss the putt. Stay still to sink pressure putts. A key to staying still is keeping your legs locked. They stabilize your lower body during the stroke. To feel this, take your normal putting stance. Then wedge a rubber ball between your knees. Squeeze the ball a little to keep it tight, creating a solid foundation. Now hit putts. This exercise develops the feeling of stability essential for a consistent stroke under pressure. Remember the feeling when making pressure putts.
Tip # 5: Use “The Quiet Eye” Technique
The secret to good putting, says Dr. Joan Vickers, a researcher at the University of Calgary, is using your eyes to detect the right information about distance and direction. Then using your mind to relay the information to the rest of your body. The Quiet Eye, as Dr. Vickers calls it, may help explain what being “in the Zone” is. Her research suggests that The Quiet Eye is the difference between average putters and great putters.
A Quiet Eye routine has the following characteristics:
* Pick a specific location on the hole.
* “See” the ball go in the hole at that spot.
* Scan from the hole to the ball calmly.
* Fixate on a spot on the back of the ball.
* Remain fixated on that spot through contact.
A Quiet Eye routine isn’t taught in many golf lessons on putting. But it works for many golfers. When combined with the other article tips, it will help you sink more pressures putts. That in turn will cut strokes from your scores and your golf handicap. You may not be able to drive for show. But you can always learn to putt for dough.

Relationship Quotes for Your Enjoyment
Sometimes the best way to say something is the way someone more literary than you has said it. In that vein, here are some relationship quotes of note:
"Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down."
-Oprah Winfrey
"Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take." -Anthony Robbins
"Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same." -Flavia Weedn
"The act of forgiveness is the act of returning to present time. And that's why when one has become a forgiving person, and has managed to let go of the past, what they've really done is they've shifted their relationship with time." – Caroline Myss
"Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." – Mark Twain
"Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with" ~ Gillian Anderson
"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." – Aristotle
"The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart." – Helen Keller
"Where does the family start? It starts with a young man falling in love with a girl - no superior alternative has yet been found." – Winston Churchill
"It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations." – Kahlin Gibran
"To love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person." – Eric Fromm
"Man is a knot into which relationships are tied." ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
"You can't stop loving or wanting to love because when its right, it's the best thing in the world. When you're in a relationship and it's good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete." ~ Keith Sweat
"Our greatest joy-and our greatest pain comes in our relationships with others." ~ Stephen R. Covey
"Love doesn't just sit there like a stone; it has to be made - like bread, remade all the time, made new." – Ursula LeGuin
"Once the trust goes out of a relationship, it's really no fun lying to 'em anymore." -Norm from Cheers

How A Rebound Relationship Can Work In Your Favor
If you have broken up with the love of your life and she is in a rebound relationship, how do you get her back?
A rebound relationship is one where she is dating someone else to get over you. Rebound relationships keep people from having to deal with the emotions of breaking up. They’re used to help people move on from a real love.
And that’s the key to getting your ex back. She’s in a rebound relationship to deal with losing you.
It does not matter why she lost you. It doesn’t matter if it is your fault or hers. It doesn’t even matter who actually called the relationship off. What matters is that you have a real love.
Because virtually all relationships founded on real love can be saved.
If she’s in a rebound relationship, she will be focusing on what is wrong with your relationship. If you were a “good guy” she’ll probably be hanging out with a “bad boy.” If you were into philosophy, he’ll be watching Monday Night Football. Or, vice versa.
The fact that she is actually focusing on the differences in your styles is actually good for you for two reasons. Her attention is still focused on you even when she’s with the new guy. And, it gives you a chance to see what she’s looking for.
If she’s with someone as different from you as possible, it means that she was missing something in your relationship. You can use the time she’s with rebound man to improve yourself.
Let the rebound relationship run its course. Because, as she spends time with the new guy, she’ll start to see the flaws in him. After a month or so with rebound man, you’ll start to look pretty good.
That’s why you don’t want to crawl back to her right away. Let her develop the idea that she misses the good things in the relationship. When she’s ready to make a move, be magnanimous. Welcome her back graciously. Be a new and improved boyfriend, but don’t do the chasing.
Here are some specific steps to take when your ex is in a rebound relationship:
· Don’t try to convince her that you are the love of her life. Let her discover this on her own.
· Don’t apologize profusely. If you did something wrong, you can say you’re sorry. Once. But move on. She knows the real reason she loves you.
· Don’t make promises to change. You are who you are and that’s who she fell in love with.
· Don’t try to make her see that it wasn’t your fault. She will come to appreciate that over time – but only if you haven’t made her invest energy in defending her position that it was your fault.
· Never, ever beg her to take you back.
When you ex starts going out with someone just after you break up, she’s in a rebound relationship. You can make up with her and get back together. Don’t despair. The rebound relationship is a sign that she’s still in love with you.

Get A Face Lift Without Surgery
Can you answer "Yes" to any of these questions?
Are you a male or female who feels like you’ve lost your game?
Do you look in the mirror and see creases and wrinkles deepening?
Do you see the bags under your eyes getting heavier?
Do you see the skin on your face and neck beginning to sag?
Feel helpless to stop the aging process?
Do you feel like life is passing you by as you’ve got older, or that time has taken its toll on your face?
SURGICAL FACELIFT FACTS
DO YOU FEEL LIKE THIS?
Plastic surgery is expensive e.g. It might cost a minimum of $10 000 to have a proper facelift, and payment is usually required in advance as it is not covered by medical insurance.
Plastic surgery does not restore color and better skin tone.
Plastic surgery does not treat the CAUSE of sagging skin and lines, which is due to poor blood circulation and weak underlying tissue.
Plastic surgery can change the character, and even the shape of your face. Some people have that surprised look if the forehead skin or skin around the eyes has been surgically pulled too tight!
Plastic surgery will not make a person look chronologically younger ----- You will not appear to look younger over a period of time unless the surgery is conducted in stages.
Plastic surgery does not eliminate stress and poor circulation. The energy points and channels will remain neglected and not functioning at their optimum.
Plastic surgery does not necessarily restore beauty and youth to the face. Ignoring the causes of aging, which is due to ever-weakening cell regeneration, and poor blood circulation will make the surgical facelift temporary and only SKIN DEEP!
Plastic surgery opens the patient to risk, like any other surgery. Some people have been the victims of botched facelifts, even horribly disfigured.
There is also a risk of infection.
There is always pain, or at least some discomfort. Then there’s the bandages and skin discoloration following the surgery, which is always unpleasant.
Plastic surgery is only temporary and repeat surgeries will be required from as little as 18 months after the first surgery because the skin will begin to sag over the underlying tissue.
Plastic surgery can interfere with the energy channels of the head, face, neck and other parts of the body.
A non-surgical facelift is the only solution...
A non-surgical facelift is the best alternative...
Fortunately there is now a way for you to get a nonsurgical facelift. In her new book Wendy Wilken revels how you can:
Where to locate the 20 acupressure points on the face, neck, hands, and arms. One minute massaging on each point.
To apply the pressure to these points in mostly small, circular motions as directed by the step-by-step instructions and the easy-to-follow black-and-white photos in the book
o use your fingertips to conduct your own facelift, and arrest the aging process and to revive your appearance
To use the methods in the book to teach you how to relax and reduce stress while massaging the 20 acupressure points
To harness the body’s natural energy, and to channel this energy to certain areas in the head, face, and neck so as
to halt aging and reverse the appearance of looking older
How to inflate the tissue in the face and neck so that you look years younger within weeks
How to restore color to your face that’ll make you look like you have shaved years off your real age
How to reduce unsightly “bags” under your eyes
Which Vitamins and Mineral supplements will reduce the effects of aging on the skin
That the program has other areas of benefit like improved overall circulation in the body, improved major organ and intestinal function etc.
And much more…
