Some Unrevealed Laws Of Golf Game

Some Unrevealed Laws Of Golf Game1. Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.

2. If you want to hit a 7 iron as far as Tiger Woods, simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard.

3. When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls.

4.Errors go somewhere. If your driver is hot, your putter is ice cold; if you can hit your irons, you will top your woods; if you keep your right elbow tucked in, your head will come up.

5. The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing.

6. No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse.

7. The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all of your many other errors.

8. If it isn’t broke, try changing your grip.

9. Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.

10. A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponents' luck.

11. It takes longer to learn to be a good golfer than it does to become a brain surgeon. On the other hand, you don't get to ride around on a cart, drink beer, eat hot dogs and fart if you are performing brain surgery.

12. Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic and, while this cannot be measured scientifically, the more expensive the ball, the greater this water-magnetism.
13. It's not a 'gimme' if you're still away.

14. There are two kinds of bounces; unfair bounces and bounces just the way you meant to play it.

15. Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it.

16. The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.

17. If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age.

18. Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three.
19. When you look up, causing an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again.

20. Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.

21. Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing.

22. To calculate the speed of a player's downswing, multiply the speed of his back-swing by his handicap; i.e., back-swing 20 mph, handicap 15, downswing = 300 mph.

23. There are two things you can learn by stopping your back-swing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove.

24. Hazards attract; fairways repel.

25. You can put a draw on the ball, you can put a fade on the ball, but no golfer can put a straight on the ball.

26. A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.

27. If there is a ball on the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the bunker. If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint.

28. Golf balls never bounce off of trees back into play

29. Sometimes it seems as though your cup moveth over.

30. A good drive on the 18th hole has stopped many a golfer from giving up the game.

31. Golf is the perfect thing to do on Sunday because you always end up having to pray a lot.

32. A good golf partner is one who's always slightly worse than you are...that's why I get so many calls to play with friends.

33. That rake by the sand trap is there for golfers who feel guilty about skipping out on lawn work.

34. If there's a storm rolling in, you'll be having the game of your life.

35. Golf balls are like eggs. They're white. They're sold by the dozen. And you need to buy fresh ones each week.
36. A pro-shop gets its name from the fact that you have to have the income of a professional golfer to buy anything in there.

37. It's amazing how a golfer who never helps out around the house will replace his divots, repair his ball marks, and rake his sand traps.

38. If your opponent has trouble remembering whether he shot a six or a seven, he probably shot an eight (or worse).

39. You probably wouldn't look good in a green jacket anyway! A sweatshirt will do just fine.

40. A stroke does not occur unless it is observed by more than one golfer.

41. All 3-woods are demon-possessed.

42. An extra ball in the pocket is worth two strokes in the bush.

43. You can hit a two acre fairway 10% of the time and a two inch branch 90% of the time.

44. If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there.

45. Every par-three hole in the world has a secret desire to humiliate golfers. The shorter the hole, the greater that desire.

46. Golf balls from the same "sleeve" tend to follow one another, particularly out of bounds or into water.

47. It’s easier to get up at 6 AM to play golf than at 10 AM to mow the yard.

48. The frequency with which balls are lost increases as the available supply decreases.

49. The secret of golf is: use your real swing to take the big divot, use your practice swing to make the shot, and always hit your do-over first.

50. Your best round of golf will be immediately followed by your worst round. The probability of the latter increases with the number of people you tell about the former.

Top 10 Most Extremely Dangerous And Unusual Places

Top 10 Most Extremely Dangerous And Unusual Places

Door to Hell – Turkmenistan

This has featured on listverse before, but it would be remiss of us to exclude it from this list. While drilling in Derweze in Turkmenistan in 1971, geologists accidentally found an underground cavern filled with natural gas. The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of about 50-100 meters. To avoid poisonous gas discharge, scientists decided to set fire to the hole. Geologists had hoped the fire would go out in a few days but it has been burning ever since. Locals have named the cavern The Door to Hell. As you can see from the picture above, it is one hell of an amazing place, but certainly one you wouldn’t want to visit.

Top 10 Most Extremely Dangerous And Unusual Places

Asbestos Mine – Canada

Asbestos is a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals highly prized for their resistance to fire and sound absorption abilities. On the downside, exposure to this stuff causes cancer and a variety of other diseases. It is so dangerous that the European Union has banned all mining and use of asbestos in Europe. But, for those curious enough to want to get close to the stuff, all is not lost. In Canada at the Thetford Mines, you can visit an enormous open pit asbestos mine which is still fully operational. The workers in the mines aren’t required to wear any sort of respiratory protection, and in some sections of the nearby town, residential areas are butted right next up against piles of asbestos waste. The mine offers bus tours of the deadly environment during the summer months. Tickets are free (would you expect it to be any other way?). If you decide to visit, don’t forget your full body bio-hazard suit.

Top 10 Most Extremely Dangerous And Unusual Places

Mud Volcanoes of Azerbaijan – Azerbaijan

In the Spring of 2001, volcanic activity under the Caspian Sea off the Azeri coast created a whole new island. In October 2001 there was an impressive volcanic eruption in Azerbaijan at Lokbatan, but there were no casualties or evacuation warnings. But Azerbaijan does not have a single active volcano, at least not in the usual sense of the word. What Azerbaijan does have is mud volcanoes – hundreds of them. Mud volcanoes are the little-known relatives of the more common magmatic variety. They do erupt occasionally with spectacular results, but are generally not considered to be dangerous – unless you happen to be there at the wrong time: every twenty years or so, a mud volcano explodes with great force, shooting flames hundreds of meters into the sky, and depositing tonnes of mud on the surrounding area. In one eruption, the flames could easily be seen from 15 kilometers away on the day of the explosion, and were still burning, although at a lower level, three days later.

Top 10 Most Extremely Dangerous And Unusual Places

Ramree Island – Burma

Ramree Island in Burma is a huge swamp home to 1000s of salt water enormous salt water crocodiles, the deadliest in the world. It is also home to malaria carrying mosquitos, and venomous scorpions. During the Second World War, the island was the site of a six week battle in the Burma campaign. Here is a description of one of those horrifying nights: “That night [of the 19 February 1945] was the most horrible that any member of the M.L. [motor launch] crews ever experienced. The scattered rifle shots in the pitch black swamp punctured by the screams of wounded men crushed in the jaws of huge reptiles, and the blurred worrying sound of spinning crocodiles made a cacophony of hell that has rarely been duplicated on earth. At dawn the vultures arrived to clean up what the crocodiles had left…Of about 1,000 Japanese soldiers that entered the swamps of Ramree, only about 20 were found alive.”

Top 10 Most Extremely Dangerous And Unusual Places

Great Pacific Garbage Patch – Pacific Ocean

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, also described as the Pacific Trash Vortex, is a gyre of marine litter in the central North Pacific Ocean located roughly between 135° to 155°W and 35° to 42°N. Most current estimates state that it is larger than the U.S. state of Texas, with some estimates claiming that it is larger than the continental United States, however the exact size is not known for sure. The Patch is characterized by exceptionally high concentrations of pelagic plastics, chemical sludge, and other debris that have been trapped by the currents of the North Pacific Gyre. The patch is not easily visible because it consists of very small pieces, almost invisible to the naked eye, most of its contents are suspended beneath the surface of the ocean. This is not a place the average Joe would want to visit.

Alnwick Poison Gardens- England

Inspired by the Botanical Gardens in Padua, Italy (the first botanical garden which was created to grow medicinal and poisonous plants in the 1500s), the Alnwick Poison Garden is a garden devoted entirely to plants that can kill. It features many plants grown unwittingly in back gardens, and those that grow in the British countryside, as well as many more unusual varieties. Flame-shaped beds contain belladonna, tobacco and mandrake. The Alnwick Garden has a Home Office license to grow some very special plants; namely, cannabis and coca which are found behind bars in giant cages – for obvious reasons.

Top 10 Most Extremely Dangerous And Unusual Places

Izu Islands – Japan

The Izu Islands are a group of volcanic islands stretching south and east from the Izu Peninsula of Honshu, Japan. Administratively, they form two towns and six villages; all part of Tokyo. The largest is Izu Oshima, usually called simply Oshima. Because of their volcanic nature, the islands are constantly filled with the stench of sulfur (extremely similar to the smell of thousands of farts). Residents were evacuated from the islands in 1953 and 2000 due to volcanic activity and dangerously high levels of gas. The people returned in 2005 but are now required to carry gas masks with them at all times in case gas levels rise unexpectedly.

Top 10 Most Extremely Dangerous And Unusual Places

Yungas Road – Bolivia

The North Yungas Road (Road of Death or Death Road) is a 61 kilometres (38 mi) or 69 kilometres (43 mi) road leading from La Paz to Coroico, 56 kilometres (35 mi) northeast of La Paz in the Yungas region of Bolivia. It is legendary for its extreme danger with estimates stating that 200 to 300 travelers are killed yearly along it. The road includes crosses marking many of the spots where vehicles have fallen. The road was built in the 1930s during the Chaco War by Paraguayan prisoners. It is one of the few routes that connects the Amazon rainforest region of northern Bolivia, or Yungas, to its capital city. Because of the extreme dropoffs of at least 600 metres (2,000 ft), single-lane width – most of the road no wider than 3.2 metres (10 ft) and lack of guard rails, the road is extremely dangerous. Further still, rain, fog and dust can make visibility precarious. In many places the road surface is muddy, and can loosen rocks from the road.

Top 10 Most Extremely Dangerous And Unusual Places

The Zone of Alienation – Eastern Europe

The Zone of Alienation is the 30 km/19 mi exclusion zone around the site of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster and is administrated by a special administration under the Ukrainian Ministry of Extraordinary Situations (Emergencies). Thousands of residents refused to be evacuated from the zone or illegally returned there later. Over the decades this primarily elderly population has dwindled, falling below 400 in 2009. Approximately half of these resettlers live in the town of Chernobyl; others are spread in villages across the zone. After recurrent attempts at expulsion, the authorities became reconciled to their presence and even allowed limited supporting services for them. Because of looting, there is a strong police presence – so be warned, if you visit, you may either be shot or get radiation poisoning – and we all know how awful that can be.

Top 10 Most Extremely Dangerous And Unusual Places

Ilha de Queimada Grande – Brazil

Off the shore of Brazil, almost due south of the heart of São Paulo, is a Ilha de Queimada Grande (Snake Island). The island is untouched by human developers, and for very good reason. Researchers estimate that on the island live between one and five snakes per square meter. That figure might not be so terrible if the snakes were, say, 2 inches long and nonvenomous. The snakes on Queimada Grande, however, are a unique species of pit viper, the golden lancehead. The lancehead genus of snakes is responsible for 90% of Brazilian snakebite-related fatalities. The golden lanceheads that occupy Snake Island grow to well over half a meter long, and they possess a powerful fast-acting poison that melts the flesh around their bites. This place is so dangerous that a permit is required to visit.

Bully Whippet - The Muscular Dog On Earth

Bully Whippet - The Muscular Dog On Earth

What do you think about the DOG in the picture? It’s really unbelievable what your eyes are seeing, you might think that this picture is edited in Photoshop, but my friends it’s real and insane.
The bread of dog in the picture is called “bully whippet,” a bread of whippet with a genetic transformation that makes it more powerfully built and faster than standard dogs.
The name of the dog in the picture is “Wendy”. The bully whippet ”Windy”, lives in Victoria, British Columbia, and is extraordinary in that she has two mutated copies of the gene and is therefore a “double-muscled” bully whippet who weighs twice as compare to the standard one. The increased muscle mass, along with metabolism and extremely low levels of body fats, can transform to impressive super-feats, including marked increases in speed, agility and power.

Top 10 Interesting And Weird Living Organism

When someone says the word ‘organisms’, what comes to your mind? Better yet, living organisms? A whole list of things crawls through our minds ranging from small insects to lions and elephants to cats and dogs. There are unlike categories that come to our minds as well for example, aquatic, docile, herbivorous, carnivorous, undomesticated, organisms and etc. We as humans tend to be very ill-mannered and ignore the ‘not-so-obvious’ details on a daily basis. There are a million things that we do not know of yet and there a million organisms that do exist but we are unaware. This article talks about some weird organisms that you probably never heard of before of these creatures is very 
interesting and distinctive.
 
Chinese-Salamandar-Unique-Frog

1.CHINESE GIANT SALAMANDER
It is said that the salamander has stayed the same for the past 30 million years and it is also the biggest salamander in the world right now. It can be found in the lakes of china. It can grow up to 73 inches in length and has an impressive life-span of eighty years. The salamander has a poor eye-sight so it basically uses its other senses to detect prey. The Chinese Giant Salamander is a nocturnal creature and feeds on crabs, fish, frogs and shrimps etc.

Giant-Angora-Eccentric-Rabbits-Organisms

2. ANGORA RABBIT
This is one cute and cuddly thing. It is a domestic rabbit that is bred for the purposes of achieving soft wool. The origin of this particular creature is from Angora, Turkey. They can live up to seven years so you can even keep them as pet. There are five different types of the Angora Rabbit including English, German, Giant, French and Satin. They can weigh up to 12 pounds and because of their fluffiness they look very attractive. I actually find all the types of rabbits cute, doesn’t have to be fluffy. Oh, you can think of this one as a Persian Rabbit as in Persian Cat.

Giant-Grenadier-Funny-Squids

3. GIANT GRENADIER
This is a funny name but if you look at the thing it makes sense. It is found in the Okhotsk and Bering seas in the Northern Pacific. This particular fish can grow about seven inches in length and has an average life-span of 56 years. It usually feeds on squids, worms and shrimps. It is a scary looking creature; I for one wouldn’t dare go near it.

Interesting-Isopod-Unique-Creatures

4. GIANT ISOPOD
This creature is found in the Atlantic Ocean and it exists as deep as 7,020 feet. This particular organism might seem quite alien. That’s because it lives in the pitch black of the oceans. It is said that that isopod has stayed the same way for the past 130 million years and nothing about its appearance has changed. The giant isopod can grow up to fourteen inches in length and thirty inches in height. Interestingly enough it has four sets of jaws. It can survive without food for more than eight weeks and usually feeds on dead whales and fish.

King-Herrings-World's-Longest

5. KING OF HERRINGS
You can find this fish swimming in waters that are 300 to 1000 feet deep in basically any ocean of the world. The king usually remains in the deep waters and the rare times when it surfaces it usually dies. The fish can reach around 16 feet in length and you know that myth that says there are giant sea serpents? It is said that those rumors might have branched off the Kings.

Olm-Snake-Dangerous-Reptile

6. OLM
This is snake-like amphibian which can live in the ocean and on the land. It is about eight to twelve inches in length. An Olm is very fragile as can be judged in the picture as well. The skin texture and color resembles that of humans. The Olm too does not have a very strong vision so it depends on the sense of smell and hearing to survive.

Sea-Pig-Creatures-Ocean

7. SEA PIG
Sea Pigs are creatures that are said to be related to sea cucumbers. These organisms are about four inches in length and have about ten tentacles. They don’t exactly swim but rather walk on the ocean floor with the help of their tub like feet. They detect food by its scent. They were named ‘sea pigs’ because of their pinkish skin color highly resembling the pig that we know of. They eat organic particles trapped in the mud which they scrape off with their tentacles.

Spider-Biggest-Crab-Japanese-Honshu
