Phil Mickelson’s Pebble Beach History & A Treat For Autograph Seekers

Filed under: Universe Of Sports at 8:03 am Comments Off

The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am consists of six hour rounds that often take their toll on other golfers, but not Phil Mickelson. Always found in the top golf news stories, he actually enjoys the tournaments while admitting that patience is the key to success. It seems that golf news usually surrounds Mickelson and every turn he makes, but that’s all a part of being one of the top professional golfers in the PGA and in the world.

Many fond memories remain with Mickelson as he recounts previous Pro-Am competitions. One such recollection includes celebrity saxophonist Kenny G, who was an amateur partner with Mickelson at one point. Of course, there are plenty of other reasons that would lend to his fondness of Pebble Beach, including the fact that he made his professional debut in 1992 at the U.S. Open and ended up winning the longest PGA Tour event in history after a rain delay that put the competition on hold for six months.

In 2005, Mickelson enjoyed one of the best performances of his career as he played a 10-under 62 at Spyglass Hill in California. Known as the second most difficult course in Northern California, this is the site that led Mickelson to a memorable victory. He once again found himself in the golf news spotlight, but that’s not an uncommon occurrence for this veteran of the sport. Recognized as being one of four top 10 players from the world ranking at Pebble Beach, Mickelson finds that golf news and the eyes of the press are always waiting to see his next move.

In addition to making golf news wherever he competes, Mickelson believes in his fans just as they believe in him. A kind autograph signer, both in person and through the mail, he is a popular fan favorite. Golf fans who aren’t fortunate enough to ask in person may request an autograph through the mail. Collectors may request a signed photo or send their own item to be signed. Fans should include a self-addressed stamped envelope and mail their request to:

Phil Mickelson Gaylord Sports Management Attn: Phil Mickelson Fan Mail 13845 N. Northsight Blvd., Suite 200 Scottsdale, AZ 85260

This south paw golf professional is an active member of the PGA and shows no signs of slowing down. Wherever Phil Mickelson is found, fans can rest assured that golf news isn’t far away. In fact, golf news is more likely to be found right alongside him at every swing.

Why Does Wooden Flooring Look Different?

Filed under: Helpful Stuff and Home Improvement Management at 5:15 am Comments Off

If you are debating whether wooden flooring is right for your home it’s a good idea that you have an understanding what the various wood terms mean. There are huge array of online flooring retailers, and its important to understand there are various factors with wooden flooring which effect how it looks, and makes each wooden floor look different from another. There is a very slim chance that the wooden floor you saw in the showroom or on the internet will look exactly the same as when it’s fitted in your home.

Part of the appeal of hardwood floors is that they are all unique. One factor which effects how the wood looks is how close the wood is to the bark of the tree, this is called sapwood. The closer to the outside of the tree, the paler the wood will appear. The grain of the wood is another major factor, this can vary is direction and also changes in appearance depending on the colour of the wood fibers. The growth rings of the tree are also a significant factor which effect the appearance of the wood. Tightly packed layers of wood are likely to result in a darker colour, these are formed when only a marginal layer of wood is added per year during a growing season. Other factors which can have an effect on the wood are mineral Streaks. These occur when trace elements are in the water, resulting in grey and olive markings. Knots are also a big factor in the appearance of your flooring, and are produced where branches of a tree have been encased, as the tree has grown. Often lower grade flooring will have more knots in it than higher grade.

The great thing about wooden flooring is its durability, and also the ease with which damage can be repaired. But because it is a natural product, as opposed to synthetic, it is also prone to expand and contract during changes in the weather or season. This needs to be taken into account when your floor is fitted.

The Irony of Sports Video Games

Filed under: Universe Of Sports at 7:06 am Comments Off

Most people will agree that playing a sport is one of the best ways to keep active and healthy. It’s exercise with a more entertaining purpose. And there is no denying just how popular sports are. They are a bit part of the American culture and a good part of many other countries’. It’s also then no surprise just how popular sports video games are, either. Of course, there’s a lot of irony in that. They are complete opposites.

Sports video games do promote some things. If played with friends, there’s the social interaction of them. It would be like watching a game with buddies. But even watching the game lacks activity that playing it in real life provides.

The good thing is that a lot of kids that do play the sports video games also play the sport or a sport in real life. They’re active young athletes that just like to have a little fun at home or a friend’s house. It’s also a great thing for rainy or snowy days. It could even help improve their own play and understanding of the rules.

The bad thing is that there are some parents that don’t promote the real thing enough. They might just think that because it’s a sports game that it will get the kid excited about going outside to really play it. This isn’t always the case. A parent doesn’t have to stop allowing his or her child to play the game, but the parent should promote outdoor activities too.

It’s quite funny when you think about it. The fascination and fixation of many outdoor sports has lead to the creation of indoor activities and ways to experience them. There are even video game tournaments. You can’t blame these people though. Sports has just grown a part of their life as it has for many others.

I may not understand the fascination with playing a sports game or watching it on TV over playing it in real life, but it’s still good. Everyone has their own preferences. I just hope we don’t become too unattached from the real world as a society and start making simulations of other things. It’s bad enough we already watch too much TV, a lot of it pointless and repetition of already successful things. I’m not the most active person in the world, or biggest sports fan, but I still believe its more fun to play it in real life than do anything a video game or TV can about the sport.

Betting House Gaming: Wagering

Filed under: Great Gambling Stuff and Online Lotto + Betting and Recreation Portal at 12:32 am Comments Off

So maybe you haven’t yet learned about betting hall card playing, you’ll find more about this topic here… A running definition of a gaming room is a building that organizes card playing. Guests will hopefully have fun by operating the one armed bandits or a slew of other pastimes of luck. Gambling saloon games may include logically derived percentages incorporated which maintain that the gambling hall preserves its lead above the gambling buffs.

Frequently gambling saloon games can incite you into being obsessed quickly. A case in point: the archetypal 1-armed bandit, a coin operated gadget with 3 plus reels which spin when a lever on the side is yanked. The contraption normally remunerates corresponding with a combination of emblems shown on the front panel of the appliance. Regretfully, betting saloon pastimes proffer the delusion of supremacy, thus tricking the gaming aficionado — the participant is ceded choices, but actually they do not level the patron’s fundamental handicap. That is induced by the gaming room never refunding the full amount as hoped for. This systematic method is repeatedly noticeable in acclaimed casino games like five-card stud poker, craps, roulette or blackjack.

Five card stud poker is indeed an immensely fashionable casino pastime. The gambling aficionados, playing with partially guarded hands, will bet into a principal pot that is finally given to the winning player endowed with winning combination of cards. (Obviously, the bluff may well prevail as well.) Like Texas hold’em, blackjack is also an immensely fashionable casino game. An amount of its appeal is based on its particular mix of luck and skilfulness & decision making, as well as a process labeled “card counting”. It is a craft by which gambling fans can actually reverse the chances of the card game in their favor both by wagering & tactical decisions in agreement with the hands dealt.

“Craps” is yet another well known game making use of the roll of dice. Gamesters are betting on the end result of one spin, or on a sequence of cycles of two dice. Dissimilar to blackjack, there is no credible winning strategy punters could exploit to boost the chances. Roulette is another celebrated casino game of chance — a croupier spins a roulette wheel encompassing exactly 37 (classical roulette) or 38 (Vegas roulette) separately marked receptacles in which the tossed ball must come to settle, which establishes the winner as well as the other chances that will come with it. Then, if our punter has bet on a specific number which actually wins meaning it is actually in luck, the guaranteed remuneration is thirty five to 1, the initial stake itself is given back. Consequently in totality it is increased by thirty six.

Persist in being very attentive however, because all of these gaming room pastimes should be rated very much addictive. Indeed an incredible number of lives may have been destroyed thru gambling and even if it may be fun, seek to govern your gaming.

Betting the Arena League

Filed under: Universe Of Sports at 12:06 am Comments Off

People ask me about how to handicap Arena League football. The answer is far more simpler than one might think: It’s football! While the rules are different from the NFL, the same betting strategies apply. Revenge situations, match-up analysis, home/road breakdowns, coaching, previous meetings, strength versus weaknesses, etc. Betting numbers are similar to the NFL, with oddsmakers making errors in lines each week. And the handicapper who is on the ball can take advantage.

Arena football is not to be confused with the XFL, which was a one-year wonder a few years ago. It’s different from the USFL, which was a three-year wonder from 1983-85 before it folded. The USFL was actually a strong concept and could have worked, as it came along with the economic boom of the mid-1980s. It didn’t go head to head with the NFL, playing in the spring, as the Arena League does now, and it satisfied a need in public consumption for professional football, which is easily the most popular sport in America. The problem with the USFL is that owners weren’t patient and got greedy, fighting over each other to sign some top college stars like Doug Flutie, Hershel Walker, Jim Kelly and Mike Rozier. They spent money before they had taken the time to build an interest and fan base and it folded after three seasons.

The Arena League has been around 20 years and smartly doesn’t try to compete with the NFL, but it is professional football. On Friday I had Tampa Bay as a 7-point favorite at Grand Rapids. Grand Rapids has been a poorly coached team the last few years with little talent, especially on defense, sort of like the NFL Saints or the 49ers the last two years. They’ve also been money-burners, going 4-12 overall in 2005 and 6-10 against the spread, getting outscored by 11 ppg. When they played Tampa Bay Friday, it was a mismatch, as the Tampa Bay storm are a well coached club with excellent talent on both sides of the ball.

Tampa Bay was off a 10-win season and had throttled Grand Rapids in the previous meeting, 70-50. In addition, there were some verbal fireworks going on, where Grand Rapids players made disparaging remarks about Tampa Bay. The Storm coach admitted after the game, “Grand Rapids pushed some buttons early on and got us fired up with some of their quotes and some things they did off the field.” The better team didn’t need the extra incentive, as far as I was concerned, but it didn’t hurt, either, as Tampa Bay, a five-time Arena Bowl champion, won and covered.

Examining the Arena League betting lines, as you can see, is similar to the way to approach NFL match-ups. On Sunday, I had Philadelphia, a 10-point home favorite over a Los Angeles team that has trouble moving the football, averaging 36 ppg. That’s not going to cut it in the Arena League, where teams want to average closer to 50 ppg, which is what Philly is averaging. Last season, Philly averaged 56 ppg at home and had beefed up the defense for this season. The Philly Soul won and covered 47-33 on Sunday. Monday night I used Las Vegas for another winner. That puts me at 6-0 in Arena League football selections this season. As long as someone puts up a betting number on a sporting event, a good handicapper can find edges against the spread!

Better than Super?

Filed under: Universe Of Sports at 9:57 pm Comments Off

What’s better than super?

How about ultimate?

Organizers of a project called the Ultimate Sports Resort chose Super Bowl season to announce plans to construct a mammoth sports complex with reasonably-priced rooms in North Las Vegas, about a mile away from Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

A $4 billion price tag has been attached to the proposal, roughly the same amount it will cost to transform the Stardust into something called Echelon Place.

The sports resort sounds grand, with five-star restaurants, 10 separate venues (with seating for between 2,000 and 26,000) for everything from bowling to golf, swimming and ice skating, a world-class gym, rock-climbing walls, simulators, a 200,000 square-foot casino with a glass-enclosed smoke-free zone, a 100,000 square-foot retail complex and a majority of 5,500 rooms priced at $59 a night, with luxury suites set aside for special events.

Plans also call for swimming and diving pools, racquetball and tennis courts, and even a “healthy buffet.”

A mission statement indicates the proposed resort would be “family friendly” and pursue the nearly 40 million tourists who visit Las Vegas annually plus the two million residents scattered across the valley.

Sound too good to be true?

Hmmm.

While a company spokeswoman said money is in escrow to buy the land, none has been purchased and no target dates have been established, including one for groundbreaking.

A press kit points out that America has some 700 sports associations and federations; many of their leaders are listed among the board of directors.

The Ultimate Sports Resort also has been in contact with USOC officials, who reportedly have announced, “If you build it, we will come.”

Babe Ruth Quotes

Filed under: Universe Of Sports at 8:53 pm Comments Off

Babe Ruth Quotes.

Some quotes that The Babe said and what some others had to say about Babe Ruth.

Here are some quotes by Babe Ruth

“The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.”

In August 1948, Ruth died of throat cancer and lay in state at Yankee Stadium, the baseball cathedral built on the fruits of his work. Ruth’s funeral took place on a day of such heat that pallbearer and former teammate Joe Dugan said, “I’d give a hundred dollars for a beer.” The old pitcher Waite Hoyt replied in Ruth’s spirit: “So would the Babe.” by Mark Maxon

“I had a better year than he did.” Babe Ruth, when told that President Hoover made less than the $80,000 he was demanding in 1930.

“Hotter ‘n hell, ain’t it, Prez?” Babe Ruth, after meeting Calvin Coolidge “I have only one superstition. I touch all the bases when I hit a home run.”

All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them “I don’t know except it looked good.”

“As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher’s mound. It was as if I’d been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.”

“Don’t let the fear of striking out hold you back.”

“How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball… The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I’ve got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can.”

“I won’t be happy until we have every boy in America between the ages of six and sixteen wearing a glove and swinging a bat.” “Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.”

Here are some quotes about Babe Ruth

“No one hit home runs the way Babe did. They were something special. They were like homing pigeons. The ball would leave the bat, pause briefly, suddenly gain its bearings then take off for the stands.” Lefty Gomez

“To understand him you had to understand this: he wasn’t human.” Teammate Joe Dugan

“Every big leaguer and his wife should teach their children to pray, “God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, and God bless Babe Ruth.” Waite Hoyt

“He wasn’t a baseball player. He was a worldwide celebrity, an international star, the likes of which baseball has never seen since.” Broadcaster Ernie Harwell

“He came up again in the ninth. I was a little mad. I told my catcher, Tommy Padden, he was not good enough to hit my fastball. I came through with a fastball for strike one. I missed with the second. The next pitch I nodded to Tommy. I was going to throw the ball past Mr. Ruth. It was on the outside corner. As he went around third, Ruth gave me the hand sign meaning ‘to hell with you.’ He was better than me. He was the best that ever lived. That big joker hit it clear out of the park for his third home run of the game. It was the longest homer I’d ever seen in baseball.” — Guy Bush of the Pittsburgh Pirates on giving up Ruth’s last home run (it was the first to clear the right field grandstand at Forbes Field and some estimated the distance at 600 feet.) Quoted in Bush’s “Sporting News” obituary after his death.

Whitetail Deer Fawns

Filed under: Universe Of Sports at 6:55 pm Comments Off

Whitetail fawns are usually born in late April through early June. The Whitetail fawn generally weighs between 4 and 8 pounds at birth. Like most newborns the first 48 hours of life are crucial to survival. If the doe is not well nourished and healthy the fawn’s chances of survival are greatly reduced. Fawns that survive the first week of life stand a good chance of joining the deer population.In the first few weeks of a fawn’s life a doe will determine the general area that the fawn will stay. The fawns have a reddish-tan to reddish-brown coat at birth and are covered with white spots. These spots provide camouflage that helps the fawn blend in with it’s surroundings. The spots will usually fade away in the fall when they grow their first winter coat. Like some adult deer, a fawn will remain motionless when danger is near. Fawns and adult deer often go unnoticed by predators and hunters by remaining still. Fawns are completely odorless for the first few days of life. The doe stays away from the fawn only returning for nursing. This prevents the deer’s scent from being detected by predators and giving away the location of a fawn. If you encounter a fawn in the wild, please do not handle it. The doe is surely nearby. Often a doe will abandon a fawn if human odor is present on the fawn.
