10 Tips For Selecting the Perfect Golf Club

!±8± 10 Tips For Selecting the Perfect Golf Club

1. Commitment
If you're just taking up golf, you may want to wait a little while before purchasing your own clubs. Golf is a fun and healthy hobby to take up, but the equipment is not cheap and the sport itself takes a pretty good amount of skill. Before buying yourself brand new clubs, make sure this is something you truly enjoy.

2. New vs. Used
The first choice you have to make is whether you want to buy new or previously owned clubs. The advantage of a new set is that they are clean, new, and likely to be more accurate. However, used clubs can be a great way to get in to the game, and upgrading to a new set won't make you feel guilty once you do because the first set was not costly.

3. Choosing your Irons
The prominent equipment in your golf bag is obviously your irons. The first choice you need to make when choosing an iron is whether you prefer cast iron or forged metal. It usually depends on your skill and need, most beginners use cast iron as the sweet spot is larger.

4. Shaft Choice
The shaft of your club also depends on skill and preference. Shafts come in either steel or graphite-made. Most professionals prefer steel shafts, as they're more durable, although some golfers still look to graphite because of its lightweight that gives an easier swing. Typically, beginners use the lighter graphite shaft to start with.

5. Head Material
While each head material has its own advantage, the decision may be up to your wallet. Cast iron and stainless steel are both less expensive than the pricey titanium. The disadvantage of the stainless steel as a beginner is they are a bit heavy, which may inhibit your swing and make it harder to get used to. Titanium is the prime choice for a beginner, because the metal is both durable and light, allowing you to have a higher swing speed as well as a large head and sweet spot. The cast iron is a good compromise, at a fairer price and not too heavy to handle.

6. Head Size
As a beginner, head size can make a huge difference to your learning process. A larger head means a larger sweet spot, which is the face that hits the ball, it also means the club will be heavier and harder to control. To find a compromise between a small and large head, you could use a medium head, which has a pretty good-sized sweet spot, but is not too heavy to control.

7. Sweet Spot
The size of the sweet spot you choose on your club is totally dependent on your skill level and accuracy rating. If you have a very accurate swing, but not a quick one, you might want a lighter and smaller head, and a lighter shaft to improve your swing speed.

8. Grips
Grips should be standard to your club, but some golfers prefer to re-grip their grips for one reason or the other. If you choose to adjust your grip, make sure your aware of your hands grip size as well as the core grip of the club itself. You can determine your clubs grip size by matching it to the shafts diameter you're re-gripping. Measure the diameter of the butt of the shaft you'd like to re-grip tot determine this.

9. If the Club Fits
If the club you choose is not proportionate to your body type it will harm your game. Make sure you're choosing a club that is as close to the right size for you as possible. A salesperson should be able to tell you exactly which size club you should be using.

10. Swing Speed
Assuming that you have swung a golf club a couple of times before deciding to buy, you should have a relatively good idea of your swing speed ability. If your swing speed is pretty high, factor in a heavier shaft to improve your accuracy. A low swing speed is okay too, just compensate with a light, flexible shaft and a medium sized-head with a pretty good sweet spot.

What Do Agate Rocks Look Like?

!±8± What Do Agate Rocks Look Like?

BEAUTIFUL AGATES

WHAT DO AGATE ROCKS LOOK LIKE.

Alas, in the natural state they are quite unprepossessing, resembling dull looking potato-shaped rocks to the untrained eye. However, with some experience you will be able to spot one with maybe a translucent, coloured patch, showing the underlying agate through the eroded rock surface. Hunting on a sunny day helps accentuate this feature. Agate-bearing rocks often have a pitted exterior, or maybe a waxy appearance.

at a broken area of rock. Agates can often be found in stream beds or on lake shores where the waters tumbling action over the millennia have ground away the rough exterior and polished the agates into bright, easily recognisable gems. Best join a Rock-Hound club and learn how to search for agates from the old timers!

HOW ARE AGATES FORMED.

It all starts with volcanic rock containing a lot of carbon dioxide & water which bubbles out leaving a "Swiss cheese" texture. When water containing dissolved silica with alkalis percolate through these holes, the minerals are precipitated out slowly in the rock voids, producing those glorious patterns & colours of Agates (agate is a form of Chalcedony, which in turn is a form of Quartz, one of the most common minerals on
Earth). The alkali in the solution can attack any iron in the rock, producing bands of iron hydroxide in spectacular forms and combinations with other minerals present in the saturated solution. Agates have also been found in Dinosaur bones, so high temperatures or pressures are not required for their formation, just patience. These agates often maintain

the host original shape, after the host (tree, or root etc.) has eroded away, hence their name of Limb Cast Agates

SOME COMMON AGATE TYPES:-

ONYX is a form of agate where the bands are white, alternating with other bands of mainly black, but also of brown or red, depending on the mineral composition of the surrounding area.

MOSS AGATE is a Dendritic Agate, looking like it has vegetative inclusions (similar to Amber) but in reality, the Dendrites (from the Greek Dendron - Tree) are usually minerals like oxides of Manganese or Iron, which have percolated into cracks in the agate and then deposited out.

The transparency of the agate allows these dendrites to be seen within the agate.

TURRITELLA AGATE are formed from the Turritell shells, a fossilised marine gastropod with an elongated spiral shell or many whorls.

PETOSKEY AGATE is an agatized coral found in the Ottawa region of Canada, chiefly around the town of Petoskey, in river beds.

AGATES are truly one of the most beautiful minerals, to be found in a fantastic variety of colours, shades & patterns. When sliced and polished, they are the "Crown Jewels" in any mineral collectors display!

Not All UTV's Are Created Equal

!±8± Not All UTV's Are Created Equal

In recent years, the big brother of ATV's, known as the UTV, have seen a rapid rise in use by emergency services organizations across the country. Fire, Police and EMS are now recognizing a wide variety of uses and applications for these UTV vehicles including wild land firefighting, emergency medical evacuation from remote locations, police search and rescue operations, crowd control, SARS urban interface just to name a few.

As President and owner of one of the leading manufacturers of medical and fire skid units built specifically for these specialized vehicles, I get calls daily from chief officers and administrators from across the country inquiring about the suitability of one type of make model UTV over another. The ones that haven't purchased a UTV yet are in luck. It is the organization that has already purchased a UTV with the mistaken notion that the particular make/model they purchased will be adequate for the needs of the emergency services they lead who are sometimes in trouble.

There are many UTV makes and models to choose from on the market today. Some are much better suited for emergency services work than others. Some UTV's have no business being utilized by these organizations at all for emergency services work. The Polaris Ranger 6x6 and 4x4, Kubota RTV 900, Kawasaki Mule 3010, John Deere Gator 6x6 and 4x4, Cub Cadet big country, the Buffalo 6x6 and the Argo amphibious are all units that are very popular and seem to be the best suited for emergency services work. There are many other makes and models that deserve tighter scrutiny to insure they will be useful for the mission they will be expected to fulfill.

Emergency services organizations need to put just as much time, effort, thought and due diligence into the purchase of their UTV as they would for their next ambulance or fire truck. First, we need to outline mission objectives, types of typography/geography in the main response area (hilly, steep versus swampy, moist environments) and ultimately the primary mission of the UTV in the organization, medical transport, wild land firefighting or a combination of the two. Once these questions have been answered, then the organization can look at the specifications of the different type UTV models available that best meet the mission objectives. Second, safety must always be high on the list. Most UTV's provide seat belts but make sure the UTV model you are interested in comes equipped with them (and then write proper SOG's or SOP's to insure your organization follows the seat belts always rule) as well as having ROPS (roll over protection structure) which is essentially a roll cage that protects the occupants of the seated areas in the UTV. Third, is the overall weight carrying capacity of the entire unit but more specific the carrying capacity of the cargo bed is of utmost importance. This is where many departments get tripped up. They go out and purchase a unit that cannot meet industry-carrying requirements of these skid units but find out too late.

When considering the purchase of a UTV, I am certain that true 4x4 or 6x6 drive train capability is a must for your organization. Again, check the make/model specifications carefully. Some claim to be 6x6 (which they are, almost) but looking closer you will find that only 4 of the 6 wheels on the vehicle are really true drive wheels. The other two wheels are just freewheeling. Test drive the units while looking at turning radius on the 6x6 versus the 4x4, or is the payload requirements of your mission dictates the 6x6 over the 4x4.

On cargo bed requirements for a medical type skid unit, I have a rule of thumb that the UTV you are buying should be rated to carry at least 650 lbs. in the cargo bed of the unit. We get to this number by adding the weight of the base skid unit (usually 150 lbs. or less) by the average weight of an attendant, patient, trauma bag, O2 bag and bottle and other necessary items. There are UTV's out there that are rated to only carry 400 lbs. in the cargo bed, which is way below the 650 lbs. mentioned above. If it is a wild land firefighting skid with water and gear that you are interested in, that number can jump to 900 lbs. and above for a required rated cargo capacity. When doing your due diligence and getting specifications, the web sites of all the manufactures mentioned above is a great starting place. For instance, the Polaris 6x6 Ranger has an overall rated vehicle payload capacity of 1750 lbs. with a rated cargo bed capacity of 1250 lbs. The Kubota RTV 900 has similar ratings at an overall payload capacity of 1653 lbs. and 1102-lbs. cargo bed capacity. The Polaris Ranger 4x4 has a vehicle payload capacity of 1500 lbs. and a cargo bed rated capacity of 1000 lbs. As you can see, the relationship between the make and models specifications and rated capacities soon helps you narrow your search for the right UTV for the mission you expect it to undertake. Most UTV skid manufactures are starting to standardize the size of the skid units. The cargo bed of the UTV should be at least 49" wide and 54" long. UTV units with smaller sized beds will potentially restrict you as to how many skid units you have to choose from and could drive the price up substantially if a customized skid unit needs to be built to fit your particular UTV.

Remember, as a chief officer of an emergency services organization, you do not want to be put in the unenviable position of having to answer tough questions by a high priced litigation attorney seeing your organization because you placed the wrong UTV into the wrong mission area resulting in an accident. We must give these vehicles the same respect and due diligence when deciding which unit to purchase as we do when we buy the larger vehicles. These vehicles can harm our personnel and our patients just like if we have an accident with the larger units. It is imperative that we do everything to prevent an accident by purchasing the right UTV for the mission.

In closing, the point of this article is to get you to consider your options of makes/models of UTV's very closely before you make the final purchase. I also want to say that I am not a fan of the use of ATV's in use by emergency services. I bought one for my small rural department but soon felt that the unit did not provide enough safety protection for my firefighters/EMT's. First you ride up on an ATV like on a motorcycle instead of inside a UTV like a car. Second, there are no seat belts on ATV's where there is almost always seat belts on UTV's, and finally the ATV can be very unstable in many conditions. ATV's should serve limited mission roles in emergency services organizations. Remember that cheaper in terms of cost is not always best when it comes to our national motto for firefighters "Everyone comes home".
