“Your body dictates your golf swing!-

“A broken body will never achieve optimal golf performance-.

“You are only as good as your ‘physical limitations’ will allow you.-

You heard it hear first. My quotes above are “my quotes- that I have used for over 10 years with golfers of all ages, abilities and sexes.

I have seen it thousands of times throughout the past 10 years. Golfers getting so frustrated they want to quit the game.

They’ve taken lessons. They’ve practiced til their hands bled. And they own the latest/greatest equipment.

And…

They are NOT playing any better!

Why?

Because their body is keeping them from what they think they can do. There is a gap between the mind and the body.

You can will a great game in your mind as much as you want, but if your body isn’t capable…it will NEVER happen!

Those are the cold hard facts.

The sooner you realize your body is the “magic bullet’, the sooner you can start your exercise training for golf and see real results.

These results will be long-lasting too!

No band-aid swing fixes that don’t even last for 18 holes.

When it comes to car repair, the best defense is a good offense. Automobiles are complex machines that require regular maintenance if they are to last. Besides that, it is unsafe to let problems occur if you can help it. No one wants to be stranded out in the middle of a major highway because they failed to bring their car in for its regular tune up on time. Not to mention the added cost and frustration that comes with having your vehicle out of commission for days on end. If you want to get the most out of your transportation, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance, and see that you do so on time.

Oil changes are a big part of automobile maintenance. The general rule of thumb is to take your vehicle in for an oil change once every 3,000 miles, or three months, whichever comes first. Some car repair experts say that newer cars can wait until approximately 6,000 miles in between services, but make sure you figure out your model’s recommendations before you attempt to stretch this on your own. If you stretch it too far, you could risk voiding any warranties you might have, or causing damage to the engine.

Having working, reliable tires is an important aspect to vehicle safety. Check the air pressure on a regular basis and make sure you are keeping them within the range of the optimum PSI. This is typically written on the wall of the tire itself, and may also be able to be found in the manual. Of course, if you’ve gotten aftermarket tires, rely only on what’s written on the tire itself to make a determination. Some people like to drive with the air a bit below the recommended specifications, but make sure this is acceptable for your driving conditions before you make such a decision.

Many car repair experts recommend never letting your gas drain to below a quarter of a tank. When the gas gets too low, it requires more effort out of the fuel pump, ensuring that it won’t last as long as it otherwise would. Obviously, this isn’t always going to be practical, but if you can get into the habit of doing it more often than not, your car’s efficiency will thank you for it. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when it comes to which type of gas you put in the tank. It’s nice to rely on 87, but it isn’t the best choice for some cars.

Finally, if you begin to see signs that you need car repair, don’t delay on getting your vehicle in to a mechanic. The longer you let a problem stew, the higher the eventual bill is going to be. One problem may also lead to other problems as well, so it is important to find a good mechanic and take care of any issues before they turn into something major.

When you’re trying to decide what repair jobs you can skip and what ones you are absolutely going to have to get done, you should look at your car from the perspective of a potential buyer. If you own the car out right and you don’t want to put money into car repairs, the likely hood that a buyer will pay for the car and then put that money into repairs is even more minuet.

The first impression of you car will be cosmetic.

Some drivers may find it hard to decide whether they should get their car repaired or they should immediately get a replacement instead. Here are some tips.You may not be able to repaint a car with a worn out paint job and repair every dent and scratch, but you can vacuum the car’s interior and shampoo the seats so they present nicely.

So if you’re ready to sell your old car, make sure you know what car repairs need to be done and what they will cost so you can either do them yourself or calculate them into the selling price of the car.

Acquiring used car parts is the same as looking around for a second hand car. You can either look for it in the classified ads, go around the neighborhood checking out the various shops that do sell these parts or you can surf the net saving some time and effort and search for the parts that are needed.

There was time that such parts could only be found in dealerships and in the shops of local mechanics. This made it a challenge for those who needed it badly especially since there was no guarantee that the part if found, would fit the requirements and the seller would usually jack up the price giving the buyer no choice but to pay what was demanded.

Searching for cheap used car parts does not have to be that difficult anymore as long as you remember a few things before looking for it;

Ford has started announcing they will be “cutting back” and will have more to say about it in February. When asked if the cuts will go deep enough, Bill Ford said he thinks they will. This is all devastating news that we should all be concerned about.

The manufacturing sector of our economy is the one sector that provides for our society in any country, a “ladder- that allows us to move from lower class economies to middle and upper middle class economies. Without manufacturing, it becomes more and more difficult for families to pull themselves up and obtain their dreams.

Most manufacturing jobs provide up to nine other jobs in the local economy. Think about the local drug stores, dry cleaners, car washes, gardeners, fast food restaurants, independent auto mechanics, and so on, that are going to see their customer base diminish and their services not used as frequently. This will be a direct result of their local patrons no longer have the discretionary income they once had. Most of those that are being laid off will now start to learn how to get it done themselves. After all, they will now have the time. Many will begin working on their own cars, taking care of their own lawns, cooking and eating “in- more often than not.

And with fewer “end- products being produced, suppliers and their employees are affected in the same fashion.

What of our younger generations that are coming up through school. What direction do they take upon graduation? What field do they now study in college? And to learn a trade is still a good bet, but unless they move to an area where there is more discretionary income, what do they learn a trade in?

These are tough situations and difficult questions. These actions affect us whether we live nearby or not, whether we were the ones laid off or still working, and whether we live in the United States or not. There will be huge impacts. How much will the Federal Government be able to do to help us? I spoke with some friends who live in Marathon Florida who were devastated in the last hurricane and they related that FEMA has notified them that they are temporarily out of money due in large part to hurricane Katrina. They indicated that FEMA told them they need to go back to congress to get more moneys approved.

There are some individuals who had some foresight and started a home based business that provided them residual income. It may have sounded kind of corny then, or out of vogue, but there are those families, husband and or wife: single parent, or head of household that DID do something way back when and have been enjoying discretionary income month after month from their home business. To those who were prepared, you will have a little less worry and frustration than those that did not.

For those that did not have a home based business and consequently no monthly residual income, it is never too late to start one. You can start one up for relatively little cost, and it will not dig into your new budgeted spending pattern if you start a business where the products would be those that you consume in your household each month (all businesses need to have products or services sold. If not, then they are a scam. Run away from them as fast as you can).

As independent adults that are getting caught in this layoff trap and having less and less security, there is some analyses that may be difficult, but nevertheless need to now take place. For those of us not directly caught (yet), this analysis process would still be good for us to examine as well.

First, hopefully those employees getting laid off have put back some savings. After all, this has happened before, so hopefully there was foresight that something like this could happen again and there was at least some preparation.

Second, take a real hard look at what areas you would be able to trim, immediately if you have to, in order to slow down the cash outflows every month. Look at these areas closely. If you have teenage children, you might want to involve them in the process. Have them help to contribute ideas that will help the family weather this storm. Explain to them that as parents, you will do everything you can to make this a temporary situation and explain to them you appreciate their help and input.

Third, “write down your plans-. This is so important. Set some short term goals that will help you to get through this time. Also make sure to include your “written- finances from step 2 here as well. One technique to use is to sit down and write out where the money is currently being spent now. Keep in mind that most of us don’t have the patience to do this, or are not honest enough with ourselves when we write it down. This is an important enough step that it is worth repeating. Look at the list and decide what, if any, areas you can trim down for the interim period. Don’t look at it as “I can go without this- because this will begin to breed anger, after all, you worked hard for X amount of years and you deserve this (whatever “this- is). And anger will do you, and or your family and friends no good at all. This is not the end of the world and you and your family will survive it. YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT! But if you have the wrong mindset, it will make the process you are getting ready to go through much more difficult than it needs to be.

Once you have it all written down, talk to your spouse, or if a single parent, talk to your children and try and solicit their support in “making those new plans happen-. If the family has goals, and “everyone- in the family participates, this temporary setback will be brief and the family values and relationships will remain intact. If there are no goals, or they are not specific, then everyone does what they think they should do and in reality, nothing gets accomplished except feelings of contempt and frustration for one another.

Keep in mind that this has happened to people and families in the past and it will be experienced by people and families in the future. You may find that your life begins moving in a direction you had not originally intended it to, or the changes that take place in you or your family are changes you would not have thought possible before. That will be ok. Again, the most important thing to remember is that you did just fine up to this point and you will do just fine after this. There is a life after (insert you company name here). Sometimes many believe that a power greater than they are found it necessary to challenge them to learn and experience new situations that will further develop their true selves, or the people they were intended to be. Some will shrug their shoulders and say ok, let’s move on.

Situations have a way of correcting themselves in time, but usually not without some direct input from us. What this means is if we are to have a positive outcome, we need to have positive input. If we experience a negative outcome, then we obviously have input negative actions, feelings and or emotions.

Remember, this is not the worst thing that could have happened. If you were not ready for this one, then get ready for the next one. Seriously examine your spending patterns. Take a hard look at where your money is going. Employ a technique called delayed gratification, meaning wait and save the money for the item, or do what is necessary now in order to have the item or pleasure in the future.

And if you do not have a side business, a home based business, or a part time business, realistically pursue that. There are too many opportunities that are out there for bright people that are hard working in nature, to sit on the sidelines and not be able to participate in the “Great American Dream-.
