Hockey

After the Islander s Chris Simon s vicious and un-called for attack on the Ranger s Ryan Hollweg, members of the sport s media decided that it was time for pro-hockey to get rid of fighting. Many of these experts believe that because hockey allows players to fight, it leads to these events and thus creates a low in popularity. It has no appeal to the soccer mom s. In order to save hockey s ever decreasing popularity, they have to clean up their act.

Fighting is engrained in the game and should never be removed, as many of these self-righteous men and women have suggested doing. Hockey polices itself through fighting. The league only steps in

when there is an extreme case, such as the Simon incident. Agitators, head-cases, and guy s out to injure are taken care of on the ice. The other major sports have gotten away from the philosophy of policing itself on the field of play. In my opinion, they have some what suffered for it in the form of prima-donnas. Do you think Terrell Owens would get away with his antics against Dick Butkis? Barry Bonds would need a lot more than just his elbow guard had he played in the days before Public Relations Departments. Kenny Roger s pine tar would have taken care of on the next Tiger s at bat, or a St. Louis hard charge to first when Roger s had to cover. The problem with hockey and it s appeal has nothing to do fighting or aggression or any of that ire. Hockey s appeal is low because it s hockey. The memo informing Commisioner Bettman of this fact must still be sitting on his desk.

The new rage for 2007 is square headed drivers. Every manufacturer is scrambling to release their version of the square head. But is it really “hip to be square”? or is this just another marketing gimmick promising everyone straighter drives on the golf course.

To really know, you need to understand moment of inertia or MOI as the golf industry calls it. MOI is a property of physics that indicates the relative difference in how easy or difficult it will be to set any object in motion about a defined axis of rotation. That was for all you physics majors. Now for the rest of us golfers, MOI is the term applied to a clubhead’s resistance

to twisting when the ball is struck. For example, your swing is a little off and you hit the ball on the toe of the clubhead. A clubhead with a higher MOI will twist less as a result of the mis-hit, creating a better chance that the ball will still go where you intended and with less loss of distance.

Let’s face it. Playing golf is not one of the most economical sports in the world. Unlike basketball where a single ball is needed for two teams to play and maybe, just maybe, some specialized shoes, a golfer requires a lot more gear to get going and that gear, or at least some of it, will have to be replaced from time to time. With this in mind, smart golfers often look for good golf discount store locations to help them keep their passion in financial check.

Considering the expense of golf doesn’t stop when all the gear is purchased, it is particularly smart to save money where possible. After all, a golfer will likely also have to pay for greens

fees, cart rentals, perhaps even a caddy and more. So, saving a little here and there without sacrificing quality is a good idea.
