Thoughts on Playing Your Age by Ron Strand There is a saying in golf - I hope I live long enough to play my age. I've known a few golfers who can attest to this claim. I was reminded of this the other day while reading an obituary about a local golfer who died at the age of 95. He had been able to play his age up to four years ago, at age 91. I am usually happy with a round of 91 and I am much younger than 91. In fact, I think I have read that only about 10% of golfers consistently score below 100. Golf must one of the few sports that al ...

The Link Between Performing and Practicing by Kevin Sinclair There is a perception that performing and practicing music are two very different activities. Certainly, learning the rudiments of music is an important exercise in and of itself and without some developed ability, not very much true performing can be done. However the relationship between performing and practicing is deeply intertwined and at a certain level the distinction between the two virtually disappears. At some point in a musical career, practicing morphs from being purely a learni ... The problem with self defense and martial arts by Steve Gibbs The problem with most of the martial arts There is a big problem in the martial arts and self defense training courses currently being offered.
