That may be true. But he has a ways to go before he can catch the current holder of that title, andquot;The Golden Bearandquot; .

Nicklaus has been a dominant force in golf for four decades, first on the from the 1960s to the mid-to-late 1980s, then on the Champions Tour from the late 1980s to the 1990s. His name is forever linked to that of another great , Arnold Palmer, because together, they ushered in the renaissance of golf. The Palmer-Nicklaus rivalry was so compelling that it made golf a popular TV sport for the first time and spurred interest in the game all across America.

Born in Columbus, Ohio, Nicklaus took up golf at the age of ten and shot a remarkable 51 for his first nine holes. He was breaking 70 by the time he was 13 and he had already won his first championship by then. At the age of 12, Nicklaus won the first of six Junior titles. As a student at Ohio State University, Nicklaus won the U.S. Amateur title twice (1959, 1961), an NCAA Championship (1961) and nearly won the US Open (1960), finishing second by two strokes to Palmer, who won the tournament with a final round 65.

In 1962, Nicklaus turned pro and compiled an astounding record of 18 wins in major tournaments (three Open Championships, four U.S. Opens, five , and six Masters) that is still unmatched. He is one of only five golfers to win all four golf majors (the andquot;Career Grand Slamandquot;). He was the first player to have won all four majors more than once, with Tiger Woods as the only other player to achieve that feat. Nicklaus is still the only golfer to have won all four majors at least three times. Even in the twilight to his career, at age 46, Nicklaus won The Masters in 1986 to become the oldest player to ever win the tournament. Overall, in major golf tournaments, Nicklaus has finished in the andquot;top threeandquot; 48 times (including 19 second-place finishes and nine third-places), finished in the andquot;top fiveandquot; 56 times, and finished in the andquot;top 10andquot; 73 times.

Tiger may one day be the greatest of them all, but for now, only Nicklaus has passed the toughest test of all -the test of time.

The player that really became prevalent on the PGA Tour to be able to visualize a golf shot was . Nicklaus would not swing until he had already seen the golf shot in his mind form beginning to end in his mind. Some also say that this is where the of play came from as well since many players were attempting to mock the best player in the world at that time.

I have worked with all levels of players from beginner to professional and I have had many tell me that they can not visualize a golf shot. This is simply Baloney!!! All of us can do it and need to do it if we would like to lower our scores. Some of us have to do it a little different than the others but being able to visualize a golf shot can be accomplished very quickly. Let me show you how:

You can start at home or at work (if you are the boss). Look at a picture that you have on the wall. Now close your eyes and explain the picture or object in as much detail as possible. While your eyes are closed zoom into the picture and zoom out to make sure you can catch all of the details.

Another way to improve how you visualize a golf shot is to picture something outside such as your car. What color is it? Is it clean? What about the particulars of your new rims or how the interior is laid out? Where is it parked right now? Can you "see" yourself opening up the door and sitting in the seat and and driving out? You get the picture (haha). Again, get as picky and descriptive as you can. Practice with items that you know very well and have good recall on these items.

So now that we are the golf course how are we going to visualize a golf shot? As we go through our pre-, we will gather all pertinent information such as lie of the golf ball, wind direction, obstacles in our landing area, etc. As we gather this information, we will need to pick out a golf club that will allow us to hit the shot needed. Will we need a draw or a fade? Watch it! You are starting to visualize a golf shot. Once the proper club is chosen, then see yourself hit the golf ball from you swinging the club until the ball has finished rolling.

Okay, some of you are still screaming that you can not visualize a golf shot. Here is the most simple way to do it. Simply tell yourself, your caddy or the little guy on your shoulder what you are getting ready to do. Many do not see this as visualization because you are talking through the golf shot. Talking through the shot that I am about to hit has helped me immensely as I used to be one of the players who could not visualize a golf shot.Maxx Johnson of VGS Golf Click for more information on vizualize a golf shot.

Some of the world's greatest architects have designed courses for this tropical paradise in the last decade, including , Tom Weiskopf and Robert von Hagge, who with 11 courses south of the border has become Mexico's most esteemed golf course designer.

The newest golf resort in Puerto Vallarta is Robert von Hagge's at Paradise Village. Enclosed on all sides by the Sierra Madre Mountains, El Tigre is a beautifully constructed 7,239 yard, par 72 golf destination. Originally constructed on a flat piece of land, the layout required extensive earth moving and the creation of nine on-course bodies of water. Just a stone's throw from the Pacific Ocean and Paradise Village Beach Resort and Spa, El Tigre also boasts a luxuriant 45,000-square foot clubhouse equipped with restaurants, lounges, locker rooms, golf shop and a European Spa.

Jack Nicklaus' senior designer, Jim Lipe, devised the 6,700-yard , located next door to El Tigre. Mayan Palace is a fun, less-challenging course with a signature 180-yard par 3 that plays over a lake to an oceanfront green. According to players and locals, the grass and trees have already matured very well at Mayan Palace.

Just three minutes from Mayan Palace is the longtime favorite Los Country Club, the oldest course in Puerto Vallarta. Providing a great golfing experience for players of all levels, Los Flamingos also features over 2,500 palm trees and lakes that serve as home to ducks, seagulls, egrets, and flamingos. As it is, technically speaking, the only public golf course in the area, Los Flamingos offers excellent vacation packages to prospective players and provides free shuttle transportation to its Nuevo Vallarta shore location. It has also been said that the grass at Los Flamingos is of a softer variety, similar to British links courses.

Marina Vallarta Golf Club is Puerto Vallarta golf at its best, complete with jungle foliage, lagoons, iguanas, tropical birds, and a challenging layout designed by Joe Finger. The course winds its way through countless palm trees and a number of holes feature views of Banderas Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Located within walking distance of the marina boardwalk, it integrates the area's beautiful natural landscape with a layout designed to test even the best golfers.

Ten minutes from the Puerto Vallarta marina, tucked in the city's captivating foothills, lay the championship courses of Vista Vallarta. As host to the 2002 Anderson Consulting Match Play Championships and PGA World Cup tournament, the resort has received unanimous accolades since it opened just five years ago.

Tom Weiskopf's 18-hole layout at Vista Vallarta has extensive native jungle growth and a signature par 3 that seems to be carved out of the jungle hillside. The course masterfully blends elevations and natural features into an incredibly playable experience from start to finish. Jack Nicklaus' course measures 7,057 yards and features some incredibly long par-5s. The views of Banderas Bay and the Sierra Madre Mountains experienced here are unrivalled by any other golf resort. Despite proximity to Puerto Vallarta's resorts and hotels, the Vista Vallarta courses feel entirely otherworldly.

Designed by Jack Nicklaus and built on one of the most gorgeous properties on Costa Vallarta, the Four Seasons Punta Mita golf resort features the only green on a natural island in the world. Entry to the green across a sandbar is only possible at low tide, otherwise an amphibious vehicle or boat are necessary for access. Eight spectacular holes border the ocean here with a photo opportunity at every turn.

Though golfing in Puerto Vallarta is not necessarily a cheap hobby (prices for 18-hole rounds generally cost between $60 and $180), many Puerto Vallarta hotels and resorts offer discount or all-inclusive vacation packages that allow interested players affordable access to any of the golf resorts detailed here.

Black jack has managed to remain in its best form, in the center of casinos, and on top of the list of online casinos. More than that, black jack gambling is also on top of the list of the most popular casino games around. Indeed, black jack has come a long way, but its extensive run in history did nothing to dull the bright fame of the classic black jack gambling.

In its earliest form, live black jack gambling was nothing more than a French game called vignte et un. In French, the term stands for 21. Vignte et un was already played with the basic and essential that still governs the classic we now know. These same rules also serve as the foundation of the modifications that the black jack game has received through the years. Vignte et un was known to be a combination of the best aspects of many different games such as chemin de fer and even baccara. This is why black jack's earliest origins are unclear. Although it is formally known that black jack originated in France, there are also Spanish and that have been poured into the game.

Vignte et un was first introduced in the 1700s, and it reached the United States in the 1800s after a long and successful run all over Europe's gambling scene. When vignte et un reached the United States, it came to its as a casino game. By that time, it was now known as 21 or . The game has also received several changes and variations. Finally, the black jack game was also formally introduced as black jack when one particular variation of 21 awarded bonus payouts to players who got a winning hand containing an ace and a black jack card. The black jack term was eventually coined to be known as the very name of the ingenious card game.

After a long, satisfying run, black jack eventually rose to unparalleled fame. It now comes in many different forms, and has been used as a foundational game to create other types of card gambling. The original game has also been turned into the live dealer version, which is, by far, the most beneficial turn it has taken ever since its history. With live black jack gambling perfectly duplicated online, the game was even propelled into an impressively famous game that wins the race for the favorite casino game around hands down. But despite its long-standing fame, black jack continues to baffle casino players worldwide. Be it the land version, or the live online version, black jack gambling is still complicated, and the ultimate black jack victory remains elusive, save for those who fate happened to smile upon and grace with a win. Such is the resilience of the black jack game, and its earliest pioneers indeed did a wonderful job in creating a game that was set to make the casino world even more exciting than ever before.Dan writes original informative articles about many of the live blackjack online casinos that are now available in the UK.

Before going ahead with your game, there are some things you need to consider. First of all, decide on your budget and your . Decide exactly how much you are willing to spend, and, if possible, deposit only that amount into your account so you won't be tempted into adding some more bucks into your game. Remember that every buck you deposit is potentially in danger of being eaten up by the house, so be very careful when it comes to financial matters. Aside from setting a , set a time limit as well. Decide how many games you will play, and stick with it, just as you ought to stick with your cash budget. Some people lose out on their first game, and their second, and their third, and keep on going to try and get back what they lost on the first few games. Obviously, that trend spells disaster. And you wouldn't want your black jack live online play experience to turn sour in the end, would you? So if you want to enjoy a carefree game of live black jack, don't let the fun take the best of you, and make sure to still keep your head above the game.

The next thing to do after you have set your self-imposed limits is to choose your table. Not all black are the same. There are also several variations of black jack to account for. A classic is still the to play the game, but the reason why so many variations of the game surfaced is that the lacked some added touches. Thus, you have to choose your table very carefully. Check the table limits, and the special table rules. Check what types of bets and moves the table allows. For example, some table allows players to insure themselves against a dealer black jack, while some don't. Aside from that, check how many decks of cards are used in the game. Multiple-deck black jack games are generally harder and more challenging than single-deck versions. Know which strategy the dealer will be using throughout the game. If you're not so familiar with all the strategies, which involve the rules that will rule tha game, stick with basic strategy black jack, which uses the basic black jack rules.

If it is, the black jack game would not have survived for centuries. Thus, to win in a black jack game online, there are some things that you need. Even if black jack is basically vulnerable to chance and luck, some skills can still get you a long way in the game.

Black jack is a game of probabilities, and quick and keen counting skills will definitely count a lot. This is where the famous and contentious strategy called card-counting started. In black jack, the cards that are dealt make a big impact to whether you lose or you win. Thus, if you are playing a black jack game with only one , the cards that are dealt gives you a clear idea of the cards that are still left in the deck. That means that you also have an idea of what card may possibly come up next. This strategy does not work for everyone. And though it sounds pretty easy, it's actually a tad more challenging in implementation. People who count cards usually give away what they are doing. A lot of people fail in this strategy because they get detected. A lot of frown upon this strategy, and when you get detected, you can get booted out of the casino. Due to the vast popularity and notorious effectiveness of this strategy, casino houses added the multiple deck variation of black jack. Online casinos also prepared itself against aspiring card-counters, especially since online have no way of knowing whether the player is implementing the strategy or not. Thus, most online that can be played are played with multiple decks, leaving no space for card-counting. But still, despite this, counting skills can still help you some. To go with counting skills, you also need sharp arithmetical skills such as division. In addition, players who are comfortable with fractions may also have a better chance at the game.

Aside from that, a good memory can also help you estimate the deck and gauge your probabilities. With a good memory, you can keep all the rules, tips, and cards in mind. If you can keep the values of the cards that have been dealt in mind, it will be easier for you to determine the remaining cards in the deck. Other than mathematical skills and a good memory, a black jack player also needs to be quick and sharp to win in a game of online live black jack. A black jack player should react fast and wisely to the movements of the game. Finally, concentration is another important ingredient in cooking up a victory for yourself as a black jack winner. If you have strong concentration skills, you will be successful in implementing strategies perfectly, and in using the above skills adeptly.

The online live black jack victory continues to elude countless players all over the world. So before you play your next live black jack game, arm yourself with the right skills to go with your stroke of luck.Dan Roberts reviews many of the new blackjack games like live blackjack with early payout.

Tom Weiskopf is the architect of the second golf course, which features extremely dense jungles, deep ravines and swiftly moving creeks. Together, Jack Niclaus and Tom Weiskopf have done an excellent job of utilizing the elevations and natural terrain to bring golfers a truly wonderful experience that won't soon be forgotten.

Vista Vallarta, which opened in 2001, is built into the rolling terrain at its highest elevation level and provides a spectacular view looking out on the Bandera Bay. The Marina Vallarta and the Cozumel Country Club are two more tee-time options in the area. In 2004 cited the Marina Vallarta Club de Golf as one of its "Places to Play."

For the pros, the story is different. These are people who are so good at playing Black Jack that they're making money much faster than most amateurs lose it. What is an enjoyable but expensive recreation to others is another day at the office for a strategic player. How are they able to make so much money when you are not? The answer is simple: they've mastered the simple rules of , and you haven't.

The secret that the don't want you to know is that it takes only a little bit of time and effort to learn these techniques yourself! With the proper guidance, you can quickly learn all you need to know to turn Black Jack into a money-making operation. That is because, if played well, the odds in Black Jack actually favor the player, not the house. Casinos on the game simply because most people don't know how to play Black Jack well.

First, you'll have to know when to split, double down, and surrender. Surrendering is not an option at every casino, but it helps to know how to use it in case you find one where it is. If that sounded like Greek to you, don't worry. It isn't as complicated as it . Splitting, doubling down, and surrendering are options available to you, the Black Jack player, that are not available to the dealer. That means that you've got at least two that he or she doesn't have! That sounds pretty good, but of course these weapons are only helpful once you know exactly when and how to make use of them.

In order to really win at Black Jack, you'll also need to learn something about counting cards. This is the part that the casinos really don't want you to know about, because if too many people figure out how to do it, those people will become such a draw on casino resources that they could change the face of modern gambling houses. In fact, most of today's casinos are banking on the hope that you won't count cards at all.

However, since counting cards basically consists of paying attention, it is not cheating, so there's nothing they can do to stop you. You just need to continually be aware of what cards have already been dealt out. Again, with the right guidance, you can develop a system for keeping this information in your head. Then, using this information, you can make better guesses as to what cards you and the dealer are likely to be dealt, and you can make all your decisions accordingly.

While proper technique is the true secret to generating distance off the tee, other isolated factors also affect distance. Taking advantage of these factors, as I urge players who take my , is an easy way to get more distance without swinging harder or faster.

Loft is one of those isolated factors. , some players who take my golf lessons or read my golf tips don't truly understand the significance of loft. Some players also have a psychological barrier against loft, which is natural given what happens on the course when you hit a tee shot.

versus Reality

Reality in golf is always what it seems. Conventional wisdom suggests that higher-lofted produce shots that fly high and stop dead when they land. Lower-lofted drivers produce shots that fly low but run more when they land, generating more distance off the tee. That theory makes sense, or so it would seem.

The key to maximizing power at any swing speed, however, is launching the ball on the proper trajectory with the right amount of to take advantage of the golf ball's aerodynamic properties. That launch angle is generally 10 to 15 degrees of loft (slower swingers can get more distance with a higher loft angle). Ideal spin varies, but it's about 2000 to 3000 revolutions per minute, again a little higher with slower swing speeds.

Loft, it would seem, is a key factor when hitting a driver. In fact, adding loft is the single most important thing I've found in my years of providing golf instruction that helps people hit their drivers better. For some golfers adding loft to their drivers--without making any other adjustments--generates an average of at least 10 yards to their drives. For others, it generates even more.

Determining the Right Loft

So how do you determine what loft is right for you? Pick a driver that gives you as high a trajectory as you can get without sacrificing accuracy. When you feel you're uncomfortably high, take the loft one step down to see if you still are consistently long most of the time. When in doubt, take more loft rather than less.

Once you've determined the right loft, try the following tips for generating more distance of the tee. They'll help you hit the ball farther without changing your swing speed or adding more muscle power.

1. Widen stance at address for greater stability 2. Shift more weight on right side (for a right-hander) 3. Turn our your left foot slightly 4. Take a full 90-degree turn. 5. Hover club head above ground 6. Hit hard with right hand through impact 7. Sense right forearm crossing over left 8. Finish high with your swing

Some of these tips focus on changes in your address position. Hovering the club head above the ground is a technique both Greg Norman and Jack Nicklaus use. It takes a little practice to learn how to do it, but it produces dividends when executed correctly. And finishing correctly is a must on every swing. When combined with the right loft, these tips will add more distance to your drives.

Two Drills for Generating More Distance

Two proven drills for increasing driving distance are the lead hand drill and the weighted-club drill. I often suggest them to players who take my golf lessons or in written golf tips in my newsletter.

1. The lead hand drill strengthens the "pulling" muscles of your left arm. (Right fore- arm for left-handers.) With this drill, practice hitting a golf ball with just your left hand. Start with a pitching wedge. Try it without a ball first. Swing easily. When you're ready, tee the ball up and swing away. Take about 25 swings. When you can hit the ball off the tee consistently, drop down to an 8 iron. Repeat the process.

2. The weighted-club drill stretches the back muscles, leading to a fuller turn. Use a heavyweight practice club, a practice "donut," or a weighted cover for your club. Take about 50 practice swings a day. Swing easily and smoothly. After a month or two, you will find the arc of your swing is larger than before, without losing control of the swing.

Adding more loft to your driver won't make you a Jack Nicklaus or Greg Norman over night; but it will improve your game without involving hours and hours of practice. More importantly, adding loft will help you hit the kinds of drives that can help lower your golf handicap. Jack Moorehouse is the author of the best-selling book "http://www.howtobreak80.com." He is NOT a golf pro, rather a working man that has helped thousands of golfers from all seven continents lower their handicap immediately. ]]> Fix That Flat: Common Sense Tips For Using A Tire Jack http://www.artwoo.com/article/fix-that-flat-common-sense-tips-for-using-a-tire-jack http://www.artwoo.com/article/fix-that-flat-common-sense-tips-for-using-a-tire-jack#comments Mon, 15 Oct 2007 07:35:01 +0000 automatic transmissionsproceed with cautionmanual transmissionsscissor jackgravel placevehicle weighingemergency situation http://www.artwoo.com/article/fix-that-flat-common-sense-tips-for-using-a-tire-jack vehicle weighing thousands of pounds entails some risk. By following a few simple procedures, you can minimize any hazards to yourself and your vehicle.

Know Your Jack

Most vehicles come equipped with a small . This jack will be functional enough for an emergency tire-change on the roadside. Before you're in an , familiarize yourself with your specific jack and how it works.

Secure the Area

When possible, ensure that vehicle is parked on a level surface. Make sure that the car is secure. The emergency brake should be firmly set. Vehicles with should be in "park," while ones with should be left in gear. Wedge bricks or blocks to the front and back of the tire on a diagonal from the tire to be lifted.

Pick Your Battleground

Determine an appropriate place to set the jack. A common novice mistake is to set the jack under a bumper or body panel. These areas aren't designed to hold the weight of the entire car; they can break under the strain and allow the car to fall. The jack must go under the vehicle's frame, otherwise known as the chassis. Most cars are designed with a specific location for jack placement. When in doubt, check your owner's manual.

Keep it Steady

Make sure that the jack is placed on a stable, even surface. If the ground is rough or covered with gravel, place a broad, sturdy board underneath the jack. This is especially important with small, factory-provided tire jacks, which may very have narrow bases.



Crank the jack up slowly. Although you may be in a hurry, take your time. Be careful to not have any part of your body underneath the car, so as not to be injured if the vehicle should fall. Once the car is lifted enough for the tire to clear the ground, push on it a bit to verify its stability on the jack.

Lower the Vehicle

Now that the tire has been changed, bring the car back down just as you jacked it up: slowly and with care. Once again, no part of your body (or anyone else's) should be underneath the vehicle. If there are other people present or assisting, have them step back away from the car and out of the way. Finally, remove the blocks from the chocked wheel.

By working at an even pace and using common sense, you should be able to raise a vehicle, change its tire, and lower it again safely. Keep in mind that these instructions only apply to lift a car to change a tire, not to any kind of repair work that requires you to get underneath the car; for that, further precautions will be necessary.

You can't miss Champion's Gate, when you first get off exit 58 on the I-4, the impressive main entrance gates to Champion's Gate are right there.

The Father Son Legend is truly a walking Hall of Fame of Golf, and it's a celebration of the sport as well as of the bonds of family. Famous golf professionals of the present and the past play with their talented sons and daughters, and all of them share a passion for the game.

This year's line-up included Jack and Jackie Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and his grandson Sam Saunders, and 15 year old son Qass, Mark and Shaun O'Meara, Craig and Chris Stadler, Bob and David Charles, Raymond and Robert Floyd (Raymond has won the Father Son Challenge 5 times since 1994 together with his sons Robert and Raymond Jr.), Hale and Steve Irwin, Tom and David Kite, Bernard and 15 year old Stefan Langer, and his 12-year old son Dru, and Johnny Miller II, Larry and Josh Nelson, Curtis and Tom Strange, Lee and Daniel Trevino, Fuzzy Zoeller and his daughter Gretchen.

We parked our car and approached the . Just as we were walking towards the stands on the 18th hole, Davis Love III had finished his round and was coming towards the club house. It is really an amazing experience, seeing all these world famous celebrities and icons of the sport, up so close and so relaxed in this unique tournament format.

The rules of are based on a Scramble Format, which means that on each hole, each player drives and the best drive is selected. Each player then plays a second shot from the spot where the selected drive lies, and the best second shot is selected. This process is completed uniti the hole is completed.

When we were there we also saw golf greats like Vijay Singh, Mark O'Meara and Lee Trevino finish their rounds. It was great seeing Vijay, relaxing after his final putt with a coffee in hand, awaiting the arrival of his son on the last hole and watching his son's last putt of the day. Because this tournament pairs up the great players of golf with their sons or daughters, it really gives you a much better feeling of these professionals as human beings, and according to Allan Findley, General Manager of Champions Gate, many of these players truly relish this event, which allows them to celebrate their sport as a family away from the pressures of the PGA Tour. We really enjoyed the atmosphere at the Father Son Challenge, and it would have been great to see some of the other legends of golf, like Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, in person. Unfortunately we have an extremely tight schedule and will be unable to come back on a second day, but it was a great experience, getting a first person look at this andquot;Walking Hall of Fameandquot; of the game of golf.

Cool Gift Items for the Little Ones

A Jack-in-the-box is a fun gift you can give toddlers. There's a variety out there with . Be there when the toddler gets his first glimpse of Jack. He'll get used to the idea that when the music stops, out pops Jack.
