Hit the Spot To Slash Your Golf Handicap

!±8± Hit the Spot To Slash Your Golf Handicap

If you've read my golf tips, you know how vital I consider the short game. If you want to cut your scores and slash you golf handicap, you must learn how to turn three strokes into two. The secret to that is hitting a precise spot on or near the green when chipping and pitching letting the ball run to the hole. The more accurate you are at hitting the right spot, the more accurate your shots will be. The more accurate your shots, the lower your golf handicap.

In addition to accuracy, you also must develop a "feel" for chipping, which comes with practice. Keep in mind that your feel may change over the years, so you may need to change your approach over the years as well. When Tom Watson was young he played every chip shot near the green with a pitching wedge. Tom was one of the better chippers on the PGA tour. He had a great feel for chipping and pitching. As he aged and lost the great feel, he used different clubs to compensate for it. You may have to do the same.

Club Selection is Critical

Club selection is critical when chipping and pitching, as I've stated in my golf tips. On shots just off the green, you have an option. Some players with low golf handicaps prefer putting the ball from here. The stroke is simpler and the ball behaves more predictably. Others prefer chipping it. The preferred clubs for chipping are the sand wedge and the 5-iron. If you use the wedge, pick a spot about three-quarters to the pin and aim for it. If you use the 5-iron pick a spot a few feet from you and aim for it.

On shots about 10 feet off the green but still on the fringe, you're better off chipping the ball than putting it. The ball must go through to much grass. The clubs of choice are the 7-iron and the 60-degree wedge, if you have one. If you use the wedge, land the ball about three-quarters to the pin and let role to the hole. If you use the 7-iron, land it just on the green and let it role to the hole. Most golfers prefer the 7-iron because there's a higher margin for error. Practice and experience tell you how close or far away from the pin you need to hit the ball.

When in Trouble

On shots farther from the green and in the rough, it's even more critical you hit the right spot with your chip, especially if you don't have much green to work with. Your choices here are an 8-iron or a sand wedge. Here, the more lofted club may be your best bet. You have to carry the ball just over the fringe and run it to the hole. If you hit the ball a little heavy you could easily miss your spot, ending up in the grass or falling far short of the hole. With the sand wedge, you have a better chance of carrying the rough. Shoot for a spot three-quarters of the way to the hole and let the ball run to it, as if it were a putt.

Of course, sometimes you have no choice. For example, if you have to lob the ball out of the rough, over the bunker, downhill to a tight position, the sand wedge is the club of choice. Block out the bunker mentally and focus on the spot you want to hit, which in this case is the fringe, then hit away. No other option enables you to stop the ball near the hole. Keep the knuckles of your left hand (right hand for left-handers) pointing to the sky, which keeps the clubface open and gets the ball up quickly and down softly.

Choosing the Right Club

A good drill for learning to chip and pitch to a spot is to practice hitting the same spot with different clubs. For instance, try a sand wedge, a 9-iron, and a 5-iron from the same distance. The idea is to carry the ball in the air with different clubs but to the same spot. Study the various distances the ball rolls after it comes down. This drill provides a sense of how far the ball carries and runs with different clubs, giving you a better idea of which club to use when.

Regardless of which club you use, the key is hitting the right spot. Visualize landing on that spot before swinging. Then, it's just a question of judging how far the ball will travel as a "putt." Practice hitting a spot and before long you'll be turning three shots into two and chopping off strokes on that golf handicap.

Skid Steer Attachments Information

!±8± Skid Steer Attachments Information

The skid steer, whether it is a full sized machine or a mini skid steer is a very versatile piece of machinery to use. All that you need to do is add in the many different attachments and you can have one virtually any type of machine that you could possibly need. There is no need to buy a huge selection of one use machines when you can use the skid steer and skid steer attachments for a more economical solution.

Using the ski steer tracks can give you a little more stability in the roughest type of terrain. If you are going to be lifting a number of items, then the skid loader pallet forks are the attachment that you will need. (These are great to have if you have a lot of items that will need to be moved in your warehouse or around your machine lot). You can find a number of uses for many of these, and buying used skid loader attachments can ensure that you do not pay more for the items than you need to.

In addition, make sure that you location that you are buying the attachments for is actually selling you the right type of item for your machine. Do not try to modify any of the attachments to do something that they are not meant to do for your own personal safety. If you do add such attachments, you might be voiding the warranty on your machine if you have one, leading you to bear the entire cost of replacement if something does go wrong.

Bobcat attachments can make your Bobcat skid machine even more handy to have around and there are attachments for other models as well. John Deere skid steer attachments, Caterpillar skid machine attachments and Case skid steer attachments all come in a number of different styles for all of your different needs. Always make sure that you are buying the right attachment for your particular machine for both safety and efficiency.

Whether you are buying tracks, forks, snow blowers, snow blades, stump grinders, tree spades, trenchers, dumping hoppers, ripper tillers, cement mixers or wood chipper attachments, you need to consider the cost of new vs. used and how often you will use them. Do not get caught up in the action of an auction for instance and realize later that you have bought a lot of snow related skid steer attachments for a machine that resides in Florida.

The advantage of the mini skid loader is not only in its versatility but in the ability to fit it into places where a full sized machine might be more problematic than necessary. There might be times when you need the larger machine, but if you can satisfy the majority of your needs with the smaller skid steer and all of the optional attachments, you might be far better off.

The 2009-2014 World Outlook for Commercial Brush, Limb, and Log Chippers for Waste Wood Reduction Excluding Parts

!±8± The 2009-2014 World Outlook for Commercial Brush, Limb, and Log Chippers for Waste Wood Reduction Excluding Parts

This econometric study covers the world outlook for commercial brush, limb, and log chippers for waste wood reduction excluding parts across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the 230 countries of the world). This study gives, however, my estimates for the worldwide latent demand, or the P.I.E., for commercial brush, limb, and log chippers for waste wood reduction excluding parts. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the world's regional and national markets. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time (positive or negative growth). In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business.

Chipper Safety - 3 keys to help train your staff, a workplace accident Zero

!±8± Chipper Safety - 3 keys to help train your staff, a workplace accident Zero

Squeezing these objects into small pieces with knives in the car. There is no doubt that the wood chipper is efficient to give to his work. What is effective? Unfortunately, it is also very effective in causing injury. Amputation of his death, is a chipper machine, therequires some practice to get it to work safely.

Here are three keys to keep in mind when operating a wood chipper:

Key # 1: Wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE)

Chipper operator must wear gloves, earplugs, helmets and goggles. These points are the eyes, and listen to the hand injury to keep to a minimum. Chippers are very strong when they are executed. In addition, they have a lot of saliva and deposits of sawdust, which may come into his eyes. The use ofcorrect PPE will provide a first step towards safety when using this device.

Key # 2: Never put your guards, which are installed at the factory tamper chipper

Many people believe that the factory machines to do their job more difficult to protect you. They believe that the branches of applied heavy, while the guard is present. Of course, that the guard has set up around parts of the body, especially the arms and fingers, not the end of the machine. Employershould take seriously the discipline of employees who handle the machine guards.

Key # 3: Provide annual training on safety and education of your employees at least once

Every year without fail, you should ask your employees who have a lumberjack with a refresher safety training on the use of the machine. This should also object lesson and a written examination. You must also ensure that participation is mandatory. In addition, all new employees who are committed to the plannedRent immediately after training, but certainly before the wood chipper.
