Women have already made great names in Golf and more and more Golfers are appearing on the champions list. Here are few tips for female golfers which could help the women or men who want to teach the game to their friends or family.

Golf for Women Challenge #1 - Putting

A common misconceptions about elite golfers is that men are better ball strikers and the women are better at short game. This is not true at all

According to the actual statistics, men are better putters and women are better ball strikers. It is found that amateur golfer women often complain of too many 3 putts, and/or missing short putts.

What can be done about this here are tips to help you improve your putting.

I also created golf training aids specifically designed to help with your putting technique.

Putting Stroke Mechanics

The keys to a sound putting stroke can be summed up in two words: stability and squareness.
To improve your putting, the first thing that you need to do is to solidify your stroke mechanics. Everything that you need to know about a great putting stroke can be summed up in two words: Stability & Squareness.
See how our Golf IQ Putting Package can help you achieve both.

Stability
Stability in the grip To allow your arms and the putter to work as one unit you need to make sure that you have a stable hold on the club. Many of putting’s most common problems include pushes, pulls, and the yips can be traced back to an unstable hold on the club.

Unlike the full swing grip, which is designed to create speed, the putting grip is designed to promote stability throughout the stroke. Unlike conventional putting instruction, I believe that the putter should be held primarily in the fingersand not in the lifeline of your palm as recommended by most instructors. Holding the club in the fingers promotes better feel for the putter head which will ultimately promote more stability throughout the stroke. You should know that a finger grip on the putter is preferred by two of golf’s best putters: Dave Stockton and Tiger Woods and it is tough to argue with their success.

Women’s major golf championships
Women’s golf has evolved a set of major championships which parallels that in men’s golf, but the women’s system is younger and has been less stable than the men’s. Many professional stroke play events for women are played over three rounds (54 holes), but the majors are played over four rounds (72 holes), which is the standard length of regular men’s tournaments. This is the same distinction as for senior men’s tournaments

The LPGA replaced the du Maurier Classic on its list of majors with the Women’s British Open. The LPGA currently recognizes four majors. In the order in which they are played each year these are:

Kraft Nabisco Championship
LPGA Championship
U.S. Women’s Open
Women’s British Open

Internet romance has become one of the most popular ways to meet a future partner or a mate for few nights, it is not always that safe. It is important that those who meet via the Internet, particularly in long distance relationships specialy those from distinctly different cultures and values, need to take extra bit of care in protecting themselves from the very small minority that are abusing this great medium of meeting people.

Recently a very sad case hit international headlines. A US musician, Raymond Merrill, had got acquinted with a Brazilian womanfrom Sao Jose dos Campos in São Paulo state Brazil, via an Internet dating site. Mr. Merrill had already visited the girl in Brazil several times, lavishing gifts on her including a car, and back in April came for another trip after having been called by the Brazilian Girl to come immediatly to Brazil. Unbeknownst to Merrill, The girl took the pin numbers of his credit cards and with the help of her actual boy friend from Brazil strangled him to death with a cable and cremated the body to wipe out the crime.

Mr. Merrill‘s sister reported the US police after a month of frantic communication attempts with her brother, but although an investigation was launched and Merrill‘s bank accounts were found to be drained, neither the body was linked to the crime or the girl was identified.

The girl was apprehended by Brazilian Police in São Paulo when committing another similar robbery in June, and Merrell‘s credit card was found with her. Brazilian police made the connection and she was arrested for the murder, and the body was exhumed for DNA tests.

Of course such Internet dating scams are not new, nor are similar romance related scams. Rio de Janeiro is one area in Brazil, particularly in places like Ipanema and some particular bars/clubs there, where garotas de programa (prostitutes) scam arguably naive foreign men who come to Brazil for work or tourism.

It is always a good idea to be vigilant and trust only the good quality web sites. The golden rule for avoiding problems is to remember is to use common sense. If you travel to Brazil make sure to let your friends and family know where you are going and try to contact them regularly. Make sure to tell them where you are staying and keep the contact numbers the address details of the person you‘ve arranged to meet with your family. If you cant get these details from your future mate that should already be a warning sign.

If friends and family don‘t speak the local language of place you are going, try and find someone else in the area they can contact who speaks a suitable language as a backup.

Try to not expose yourself too much and keep all your belongings hidden and also Make sure you have backup plans on where to stay if there are relationship problems, and banks and credit card companies are advised of any withdrawal limits while you‘re away.

With Internet based relationships, keep an eye out for other warning signs as well, such as requests for money and gifts, or erratic and volatile behaviour.

Although it can be difficult in the initial throes of a relationship, try and take a step back and think about whether you feel things are making sense.
