There are two approaches to achieving a better golf swing. There is improving your physical capabilitiesand improving your golf swing technique.

How many times has your teaching pro recommended a golf swing technique change and you couldn’t do it no matter how many balls you hit? It’s because you didn’t have the “physical capability” to successfully make the change and repeat it.

For example, if you didn’t have adequate core strength and flexibility, you would be unable to create and maintain the “x-factor”, or the separation between the hip rotation and shoulder rotation, therefore losing force and ultimately distance.

But by implementing simple, golf exercisesit is possible to develop the ability to execute these key actions, which result in greater clubhead speed, force and distance.

Identifying your weak points, and doing golf-specific exercises to replicate the specific action will allow you to achieve the specific golf swing technique change effectively.

I’ve seen some very simple, yet effective golf exercises and stretches that when implemented and done consistently can result in substantial increases in driving distance and accuracy.

Creating specific exercises related to your teaching pros golf swing technique recommendations can give you the quickest resultsthat are lasting.

Suffice it to saythe development of your physical abilitiesespecially strength and flexibilityplays a critical role in not only improving your golf swing techniquebut in hitting the ball farther and much straighter.

The bottom lineyour golf swing technique is dictated by your physical capabilities.

What is Alzheimer?

The gray-haired old lady cannot wait to leave the building to search for her dad. Unless watched, she will walk the streets in an effort to locate her father, who died 30 years ago. Yes, she is afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease, a condition so debilitating, it robs a patient not only of memory, sight and mobility, but even personality.

Alzheimer’s disease is a physical illness that causes changes in the brain. It is a form of dementia. Dementia affects a person’s memory, mood, and behavior.

Alzheimer’s disease usually affects people over 65. A person with this disease has trouble remembering, speaking, learning, making judgments, and planning. Some people feel restless and moody. It may take many years for Alzheimer’s disease to get worse.

People often do become more forgetful as they grow older. However, Alzheimer’s disease causes more than just memory loss. Its symptoms can impact every part of a person’s life. Alzheimer’s disease leads to changes in behavior, personality, and abilities. Over time, people with the disease have trouble doing common daily activities, such as bathing or getting dressed.

The symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease can be frustrating for a person with the disease. Dealing with these symptoms can also be difficult for family members of the suffering patient. It may help to understand that these changes are no one’s fault. They are part of the disease.

There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease and no way to slow the progression of the disease. For some people in the early or middle stages

Despite some strange pseudo-spiritual grumblings to the contrary, there is nothing wrong with success. In fact, most religious and spiritual teachings flat out promise their followers success in one form or another as a matter of course. Of course, there is the matter of how you define success, for the trappings of traditional success often come at the expense of our spirit, our humanity and our integrity. But that need not be the case, if we are willing to invest a little time, energy and conscious thought into the process.

One of the chief problems with traditional success is that it is a default setting - few of us ever really explore what success means for us, aside from some nebulous concept of wealth, fame and acclaim. However, these are merely tools and as such should not be seen as ends in and of themselves (even though this is very often the case). It is what these items can bring you or allow you to do that holds the key to true success.

So you must ask yourself, “If I had all the trappings of success, what would I want out of them? What would they bring me? What would make it all worthwhile?” Once you know this in general terms, get specific. Do you want to make $100,000 a year? Why? What would that amount of money allow you that $50,000 or $75,000 would not? How do you know? Perhaps it isn’t a particular monetary amount after all, but rather
