Extractions: (http://www.stpga.com/golfpass.htm) "As Ben Hogan once said, "It's not that people can't perform the move, they just can't feel it." The average handicap has not improved significantly over the last 25 years, even as golf ball and club technology continue to improve. This is because most amateurs do not improve their swing. One of the biggest problems that most amateurs make in their quest to improve their swing is to try one 'tip' after another. But if you haven't diagnosed the problem and what is causing it, the tip may actually create more problems instead of correcting it.

Extractions: Subject: Press release European Championships Rowingbike 2005 Neeltje Jans, Zeeland, the Netherlands September 17 and 18 2005 Middelburg, September 12 2005 Also see the special press pages with photo's for publication The rowingbike sport is a meeting point for (top) athletes from different backgrounds. Row cycling is fun and can be tough, very tough. "Die hards" find a new extreme challenge: kick and pull your brains out while you are "flying" low over the road. Or one can also row at a very relaxed pace and enjoy the scenery on the rowingbike. On this 7th Rowingbike Championships both racing "die hards" and more recreational rowingbikers will get their kicks. There's a racing class and a touring class. The racing class will ride 4 disciplines: a Criterion along 14 km, Sprint (333 m), one hour Time Trial and a 80 km Long Distance race. This balanced combination of sprints and distance races ensures an all-round test of the participants. The touring class will perform 2 tours: one of 60 km and a 70 km ride. The rowingbike is a kind of recumbent bike that is propelled by a rowing movement. That means that legs, arms, back, belly and shoulders are used in propelling the bike forward. A unique feature of the rowingbike is the fully step-less propulsion by means of a steel or dyneema cable on a snek in stead of the conventional chain driven system. Result is the rowingbike: an all-round fitness device which provides high speeds and is fun to ride!.
