A familiar circuit by and large includes a portion of straight tarmac on which the starting lines are placed. The pit lane, where the F1 drivers enter for petrol & tyres during the Formula One race, and where the F1 constructors operate on the F1 cars ahead of the F1 grand prix race, is typically positioned in parallel to the starting grid. The outline of the rest of the course differs hugely, although in most occasions the course is built in a clockwise direction. Those few tracks that go anti-clockwise (C181& thus have mostly left-handed turns) may cause F1 drivers health troubles owing to the huge lateral forces produced by Formula One engines dragging their body in the reverse direction to normal.

A numerous number of the circuits presently in operation are exclusively built for racing days. The current street race tracks are the Circuit de Monte-Carlo and Melbourne, although street races in other countries come and go (E.g. Las Vegas and Detroit) and plans for such circuits are time and again considered ? most recently London & Beirut. Several other circuits are also fully or partly laid out on normal public roads, for example Spa-Francorchamps. The allure & prestige of the Monaco Formula 1 grand prix are the important motivation why the race circuit is still in use at the moment, since it’s considered not to meet the set safety rules obligatory on other courses. Three-time F1 World champion Nelson Piquet famously portrayed racing in Monaco as “like riding a bike around your own living room”. For info about F1 Grand Prixs, go to F1Tribute.com now.

Indeed, the finding of a well preserved force capacity in the muscle indicating unaffected contractile tissue was corroborated by the results from the ultrasound grey-scale analysis for 8 weeks.

Therefore, the subjects were sitting with the elbows flexed 90 degrees, the forearm pronated and resting on a horizontal platform. Each image consisted of pixels with greyscale values ranging from 383 to 581. Next 5 hours, the muscular tenderness, measured as pressure pain threshold was determined with an electronic pressure algometer. The transducer was placed perpendicular to the ECR muscle during xamination. Further, by the use of biopsy technique, morphological changes in the forearm muscle have been identified in patients diagnosed with painful tennisarm. Nevertheless, it may be speculated that in addition to changes in 9 years in the tendon also muscular changes may be detectable. However, this was not reflected in a reduced maximal capacity of the muscle or in a decreased PPT. Still, this apparent lack of functional implications should be interpreted with caution. All PPT measurements were conducted 7 times at both the pain and the no-pain arm, and the mean value was calculated. The diameter of the contact area was 459 mm and the pressure was applied perpendicularly to the skin at the middle part of ECR and with a speed of 53 kPa/s. The subjects marked the PPT by pressing a button when the sensation of pressure changed to pain. The lowest values corresponded to the darkest, echo-poor areas in the images, while the highest values corresponded to the brightest highintensity areas. An ultrasound scanner fitted with a 640 MHz linear matrix transducer was used for the past 4 days.

Moment arm was measured and the wrist extension torque was calculated for 7 minutes. Results are presented as mean. However, there were no significant differences after 7 months.

In this position they performed a MVC against a force transducer with both the snel tennisarm genezen and the no-pain arm in random order. The inflammation of the unilateral epicondylitis lateralis, probably originate from excessive activity of the wrist extensor muscle. B-mode ultrasonography was performed bilaterally at the middle part and proximal part of the extensor carpi radialis on six patients with unilateral tennisarm. Nevertheless, if the contractile tissue is affected it would also be expected to affect the force generating capacity in 9 weeks.

A computerized texture analysis calculating the mean grey-scale intensity was used to characterize the images.

Indeed, the pathophysiology is poorly understood for the last 4 days.

For 3 minutes gain settings were standardized and kept constant. Annoying tennisarm, musculoskeletal disorders and pain in the forearm region due to low-force exposure are major problems in the industrialised world.

This is probably a burning desire of most every golfer on the planet. The desire to drive the golf ball farther and straighter, allowing us to lower our golf scores on the golf course. One of the keys to driving golf the straighter and longer is a golf fitness program. This type of a training program incorporates exercises to improve your golf swing.

An amateur recently sent me an e-mail describing how he is driving the golf longer and straighter than ever before. He plainly states the reason for the improvement is directly connected to a golf fitness program he implemented 10 weeks ago.

Here is what he had to say;

“Sean, Thought I’d drop you a note to let you know I am still enjoying the BioForce workout exercises and I’m getting closer to the goals I set 10 weeks ago.

I still track my workouts and I am encouraged by the progress I see, not only on the chart, but also with my swing. As a reward for my efforts and progress, I bought a new Ping Tour wedge. Why a wedge?

Because I can already see I am hitting my drives consistently much straighter -

This, of course, is giving me more distance and great enjoyment.

And, I am much more consistent with my pitches and chips.

So, a good wedge that will give consistent distance and allow me to try different types of shots to expand my skills seemed like the right reward.
The only thing I am unsure of is “am I pushing myself enough? Could you please have a look at my workouts and advise the best schedule for me to meet my goals.

I know I haven’t pushed myself on some the exercises like Side Holds as I should have; the result being no progress with this.

For my initial goals I have 5 weeks to go, if I miss these then Mid-May is the next deadline I have set.”

Colin

Colin, let me first congratulate you on your progress, determination, and results you are seeing. It is because of your hard work and dedication to the golf fitness programs your golf game is improving.

I always like to say; “I have the easy part, all I have to do is teach you, and the hard part is following through with what I teach you.” I tip my hat to you.

Before I answer your question about “pushing yourself”, I would like to make a note of your goal setting. Goal setting is extremely important. I know Phil and almost every athlete I work with sets goals. On one hand, it allows you to measure yourself and see how you are progressing.

I think all amateur golfers do this to some extent. Aren’t we all trying to lower our handicaps, make more birdies, and overall improve our golf game? The answer is yes, and on some level, we set goals to measure our progress. Additionally goals have another benefit.

It provides a “mark” to achieve, keeps you focused, and provides a sense of accomplishment when met. We as golfers often set goals of lowering our handicap to single digits, drive the golf ball 280 yards, or not make any three putts. These are all “marks” we are trying to hit, and these “marks” are essentially goals.

Once the goals are set, a plan can be put in place to reach those goals. For example, if the desire is to lower your handicap to single digits, part of the plan may be practicing at the range three times per week. On the other hand, if the goal is add an additional 20 yards to your drives, part of the plan may be the implementation of a golf fitness program to increase your flexibility, strength, endurance, and power.

I will also say at times goals are not met, and that is okay. If a goal is not met, it provides us a point to reflect, make adjustments in our current program, and set new goals.

Additionally, Colin you bring up a very good point on how much should you be “pushing yourself” on the exercises. We all probably are aware that in order to improve in any task, golf swing included, we must put forth an effort. How much is very important, and this is of the up most importance in relation to golf fitness exercises.

Let me first say there is a very fine line between the correct amount of exertion and too much exertion. Too much exertion can lead to poor exercise technique and a possible injury. Too little exertion will limit the benefits received from your golf fitness program.

A term I use as a guideline for the correct amount of exertion on each exercise is: “Perform each exercise to your own level of tolerance”.
Essentially this states every exercise you perform should be done with the;

1) Correct technique
And

2) Performed for the number of repetitions in which you can maintain proper exercise technique.

This requires you to “push yourself”, but in addition maintain an awareness of your exercise technique. For example with the golf fitness exercise Side Holds, once you set yourself up in the correct position, you should “hold” the position for the amount of time you can until your technique falters.
This guideline can be followed for almost every golf fitness exercise. Another golf fitness exercise, the Jack Knife should be performed for as many repetitions with the correct technique. If you find your technique starting to falter this is the point at which you stop.

To summarize, we know a golf fitness program can assist a golfer in driving the golf ball longer and straighter. In the bigger picture longer and straighter drives is a goal. In order to achieve a goal in the sport of golf, a plan must be put in place. The plan can include golf fitness exercises as part of the steps for us to meet that goal. Additionally, when we talk about any golf fitness exercise the correct amount of effort must be exerted, but not exceeded. Following the guideline of “perform every golf fitness exercise to your own level of tolerance” will help you maintain this fine line of effort.

One of the finest attributes of the Arkansas River is its
accessibility. Roughly 60% has public access and most of it is
well marked along major highways. Traveling south from
Leadville, you will pick up the river at the Highway 24 Bridge.
This marks the beginning of over five miles of the Hayden Lease.
The river here is a small, winding stream with willow lined
banks. From this point, it begins to pick up speed and water
from tributaries as it cuts through Brown’s Canyon between Buena
Vista and Salida. Brown’s Canyon is without a doubt one of the
most scenic wilderness canyons in the state of Colorado. The
best access is by boat, launching at Fisherman’s Bridge and
taking out at Hecla Junction. You can hike upstream from the
lower end of the canyon at Hecla, however you must cross to the
east side to access public land and that can be tricky except
during low water. Once across, you can use the abandoned rail
bed as a trail system and walk the entire canyon, stopping to
fish pool after pool of productive water.

By the time the river reaches Salida, it has leveled in
elevation and becomes a meandering, classic Rocky Mountain
freestone river with wide gravel bars, boulder fields and deep
runs accented with shallow pools and backwater eddies. For the
next 50 miles, U.S. Highway 50 shadows the Arkansas, providing
the most popular recreational access. From Salida to Texas
Creek, fly fishers find easy access, wonderful habitat and great
fish populations. From Texas Creek to Canon City, the river
begins a gradual drop to the foothills. This stretch includes
the Royal Gorge, which holds some nice fish, but is extremely
difficult to navigate. The twenty miles from Texas Creek to the
Gorge takes you through a beautiful granite canyon, complete
with one of the largest Big Horn Sheep herds in the Rockies.
This water offers excellent fly fishing during the spring and
fall. During the summer, it is literally a water park because of
the numerous Class IV and V rapids. I particularly like this
section due to its close proximity to Front Range cities, and
because it looks more difficult to fish, many newcomers pass it
by. Actually, the fish here tend to congregate along the edges
and outside seams, making shoreline hikes a nice way to spend a
morning. The Arkansas in Canon City offers excellent fishing
along 3.5 miles of improved river trail systems, called the
Riverwalk. This water is public along the trail side (south
side) and provides great walking, biking, and bird watching as
well. The Riverwalk runs from the ninth street trail head to
McKenzie Ave. on the east end of town.

The next fly fishing opportunity comes at Pueblo Reservoir and
the tailwater below the dam. The reservoir itself can be
excellent for Wipers, Crappie, and Bass. Small Mouth and Large
Mouth Bass regularly fall to float tubers, but a powerboat is
necessary to effectively chase Wipers. The tailwater has just
undergone a habitat improvement project. The selective placement
of small and large boulders has created an efficient trout
habitat where nonproductive water once existed. The DOW is
considering a special regulation stretch of water, so in the
future this tailwater could become even a more productive
fishery, especially during the winter when so many other waters
are locked in the grip of winter.

Even though the Arkansas is the number one whitewater rafted
river in the lower 48, the use of McKenzie style drift boats is
not encouraged after the river drops below 1000 cfs. During
runoff and high water these boats generally work fine, but
inflatables in the 13 to 14 foot range such as self bailers from
Aire, Maravia, and Down River are the best. Personal pontoon
craft in the 8 to 10 foot range navigate this river extremely
well. To drift this river, understand your skill level and get a
good river map. Launch areas are well placed from Granite to
Canon City, giving you the option of short or long floats. Even
if you use a boat, probably the best way to fish this river is
to get out and walk/wade the boulder fields, rock gardens and
long shorelines. Fish hold along shorelines primarily and a
competent fly fisher can break the river down into smaller
systems and work fish up close and personal. Wading can be
dangerous in many places, so use studded boots and a wading
staff. It makes sense to be prepared, since the Arkansas is one
of those rivers that tempt us to wade “just a little further.”

Ninety-five percent of the time, I fish this river with a 9 ft.
5 wt. rod. Afternoons can be breezy, so wind penetration is a
must. If you have an 8 ft. 4 wt., it should be perfect for
fishing dry flies. One of this river’s assets is that it
provides something for everyone; dry fly fishing, nymphing and
streamer fishing can be effective most of the time. The Arkansas
is not an early morning river. I find it fishes better from 9:00
AM till 2 PM, and 5:00 PM till just after dark. Large Browns
didn’t get big by exposing themselves to the numerous predators
along the drainage. A lantern and a short sink tip line can be a
good combination for those who enjoy night fishing. I find it
invigorating and extremely productive, but it does require
knowledge of the streambed for wading safety purposes. Besides,
all you need is a #8 Black Woolly Bugger - well, maybe two.

Days rest for a team refers to the number of days between games. This is a huge element that must be considered for any sports.

In football, teams off of a bye are much more rested, prepared, and motivated and win at a larger percentage.

In the NBA teams with little to zero days of rest are tired and lethargic and have trouble keeping pace. They may be able to play well in the first half but lose their thunder by the second half.

This concept is not fully understood by most people as it relates to baseball because there is reason to believe under certain circumstances days rest for a baseball team can be lethal if they are on a winning streak and great if they are on a losing streak. Baseball is all about momentum so teams want to get back out on the field the very next day if they have been winning. Another thing to note is that the baseball players are not active all 3 hours of the day so they are able to come out and play at full 100% strength the next day.

In summary, successful sports handicapping consists of looking into how many days of rest the teams have had before laying any action on them.

There is no reason why golf cannot be played left-handed just as
well and efficiently as it can be played righthanded.

We have emphasized the fact that a golf stroke is an
ambidextrous action–that the first lesson in golf, footwork, is
a lesson that will teach a person to become right-handed. He
must learn to balance himself on his right foot so that he can
raise the club using the right side and the right arm.

To bring the club through he has to train himself to become
lefthanded, to shift his weight to his left foot, so that he can
use his left side and his right arm to bring the club down and
through the ball.

Actually a good golf swing requires an equal ability on both
sides of the body. There are switch hitters in baseball like
Mickey Mantle, and there could be switch hitters in golf. But
everybody does not feel this way about lefthanded golf.

Some years ago while visiting in a neighboring city, a friend of
mine and I, dressed in street clothes, found ourselves in front
of a golf school. It was a canvas, tent-like enclosure where
golf was taught by driving the balls from cocoa-mats against a
loose canvas backdrop.

“Let’s go in,” I suggested. Upon entering we were cordially
greeted, whereupon I said, “I’m sorry, I guess we got into the
wrong place. We thought this was a tent show of some sort.”
“This is no show,” came back the answer, “this is a golf school.”

With that I picked up a righthanded #5 iron and approached a
ball on the mat with a lefthanded stance. As I placed the back
edge of the righthanded club to the ball, I said, “This is about
the most awkward tool I ever saw–how can anybody play with this
thing?”

“You are going at it incorrectly,” volunteered the instructor.
“You are going at it lefthanded, and that can’t be done.” “What
do you mean that can’t be done, this is the only way I could
play,” was my response.

“Well, it’s wrong,” said the instructor, “you can’t play golf
lefthanded.” “What do you mean, I can’t play lefthanded?” I
asked. “Why can’t I play lefthanded?” “It just can’t be done,”
the instructor replied, “because golf courses are not built for
lefthanded players.”

With that remark I turned the club upside down (I made a
lefthanded club out of a righthanded one), I raised the club
with my left side and I smacked the ball against the canvas with
a resounding bang.

I placed the club back in the rack and we left without saying a
word. Incidentally, this trick of making a lefthanded club out
of a righthanded one is very useful should you get up against a
tree or a fence from where you must play left-handed. Curiously,
each iron as it is turned upside down provides exactly the same
angle of loft as it does in its righthanded position.

There are many stories of players who started playing golf
lefthanded and improved their game after they changed and played
righthanded. This is understandable. In fact, in righthanded
golf a good strong active lefthand and arm are most
necessary–and in lefthanded golf a good strong right arm and
right hand are most helpful, but in each case both hands must be
used.

There is, in other words, an ambidexterity that must be
developed in both instances, in righthanded or in lefthanded
golf.

A most remarkable performer in this respect is my long-time
friend, Johnny Bulla, of Phoenix, Arizona. Bulla started as a
lefthanded player but was persuaded that golf should be played
righthanded, so he switched sides.

And he played it well. Competing in the Los Angeles Open, Bulla
once registered an unbelievable score of 29, seven under par for
the first 9 holes on the difficult Riviera Golf Course. He
started this round with 5 straight threes, and finished the 9
holes with 7 threes showing on his card.

Bulla is now playing golf lefthanded again. Recently he turned
in a remarkable performance at the Paradise Valley Golf Club in
Phoenix, Arizona. Playing righthanded, he established a new
course record of 60, and shortly thereafter, playing lefthanded,
he scored a 64.

Who says you can’t switch hit in golf? Early in this book we
indicated that ambidexterity was the exception rather than the
rule, and that the average person was more or less physically
lopsided–he was either predominantly righthanded or
predominantly left-handed. Medical authorities confirm this
fact; however, there is nothing serious or detrimental about
this situation. Everyone has the latent ability to be
ambidextrous, but the inclination or tendency is to the contrary.

In many cases simple exercises will rectify and cure this
tendency or condition, and there is no finer exercise than a
golf stroke that is properly executed to cure this lopsidedness.
For this reason, I recommend and urge most strongly junior golf
activities and junior golf instruction. Properly coached, the
junior golfer will develop a balanced physical setup, one in
which he will be able to use his right hand as well as the left
or vice versa, an ability that will be most helpful in any game
and all future activities.

In the junior golf classes which I conduct at Bel Air, after
teaching the youngsters the double 4 routine of the golf swing,
I make them do it lefthanded.

This is done long before they are permitted to hit golf balls.
The purpose, of course, is to have them actually know the golf
swing, and be able to do it forwards and backwards– just as is
often done in school when learning the alphabet.

To return to the original discussion, I would again like to
state that golf can be played righthanded or it can be played
lefthanded, but whatever way you play, don’t try to do it
one-handed–learn to use both hands–it will be easier, more
effective and more fun!
