Lots of natural corners and epitomes of civilization deserve a place among top travel destinations around the world. Yet, there is a difference between the various different places that people may prefer, like romantic getaways or adventure destinations. Top travel destinations are usually very exotic places with a cultural and historic charge that complements an incredibly beautiful landscape. Let us focus on some travel destinations around the world which would top a person’s adventure wish list. These are one of the best adventure destinations a person can go to fulfill his wanderlust.
Climb Java Mountains Java has a limited wilderness area to compete with the Indonesian Outer Islands, but it has the most exotic volcanoes. Most of them can be climbed without technical equipment, and some have well maintained tracks to the summit. Java and Bali combined have 37 volcanoes. On Java the highest is Mount Semeru (3676m). Mount Merapi, north of Jogjakarta, is the most active. Half of the world’s sub aerial volcanoes lie within the Ring of Fire, a destination of volcanic uprisings that line the edge of the Pacific tectonic plate, and one of the top travel hot spots is Indonesia’s Java, home to 42 volcanoes. The only way to really understand the power of a volcano is to witness it in the flesh. See the lasting effects of these cataclysmic eruptions, including lunar-like landscapes of ash fields, lava flows, turquoise lakes, steaming craters and simmering mud pools.

Bike the Baja Peninsula, Mexico The Baja California is a destination which has long beckoned bikers with its pleasant weather, minimal traffic, and remote, undeveloped coastline. Here, long stretches of wild desert are punctuated only by views of the coast, cactus forests, and lanky Boojum trees sprouting out of the Earth like Dr. Seuss creations. Every so often, a surf shack, stuck-in-time fishing village, or sleepy artist community crops up. Baja provides some of Mexico’s most dramatic sea and landscapes. This includes everything from vast and remote deserts, dormant volcanoes and wonderful old mission towns. The speed at which one cycle through this landscape, allowing one the time to soak up all these happenings, means that bicycle touring is the only way to experience Baja California.

FOR A BETTER SHOT Golf is a game that is very much dedicated to the cerebral player. Concentration, focus, inner peace, these things all can play a part in your success on the course. Another aspect of your game that is far more intentional and less linear than your mindset is in regards to golf grips. What kind of a role does your golf grip play and what can you do to improve this aspect? Read on to find out.
First and foremost, visit a driving range and buy a bucket of balls. If you want to improve your game, you will need to absolutely do this, or you will end up losing out on the training necessary to raise the bar on your game. Once you have enough practice in, and have isolated a grip that works best for you, your muscle memory can kick in.
Gripping the club and striking the ball is very important. This factor is not something that you can overlook at all, as many golfers try to find an edge with different types of gripping strategies. There are several ways to go about this, but overall, the way you're holding the club up to and during the point of impact matters a great deal to how well you will do on the course.
Take your shots and carefully consider your grip and the way you're concentrating. If you can place a great deal of focus on this, you will be able to translate it to the course. Too loose and your club will go flying, too tight and you'll feel the vibrations of the metal as you hit a ball that swerves out of play. You have to try different methods and only you can figure out what works best with your body and the club in your hands.
It's About Energy The reason the ball moves after you hit it is simple, kinetic energy. The transfer of energy from your body through the club and into the ball is what sends it flying through the air. You may have the process down to a science, but you will find that the way you hold your hands and allow the muscles to tighten in your follow through will either make or break your shot. In order to establish a better shot, you'll want to consider the following.
VISIT A DRIVING RANGE
CYCLE THROUGH GRIPS
TAKE NOTES This step is simple, take notes. Take notes as to what grip gets you the most control and which doesn't. Factor in distance, time of flight, and whether or not the ball swerved.
GOLF GRIP If you have a set of clubs and you find the current grips are not working for you, or perhaps they are outdated and hard to hold, then you can consider getting new grips for your clubs. Improving the comfort of your hands on the club can give you a great boost on the course in itself.

THE HUNTER AIKEN ADVANTAGE Sharon and George blended their unique styles to better serve the Muskoka Lakes Real Estate Market in the year 2000. Their common goal was to provide an uncompromising level of service for buyers and sellers wishing to purchase or sell a Muskoka Waterfront property. For decades, George had enjoyed a wonderful career in aviation flying helicopters overseas for Canadian Helicopter Corporation. Prior to “closing the hanger doors” he obtained his real estate licence in 2000 and left his Captain’s position to navigate the Muskoka Lakes Real Estate Marketplace with Sharon. Muskoka has been home to Sharon all her life. Her passion for the Real Estate profession is fuelled by her passion for the Muskoka Lakes locale. A time honoured and successful Realtor, Sharon started her career in 1978. Sharon Merchant may be a familiar name to some. At age 20, Sharon, was the youngest Broker in Canada and served on the Muskoka Real Estate Board as a director on finance, ethics and membership committees for seven years and then as Board President in 1985. After volunteering on the Muskoka Real Estate Board through most of her twenties, Sharon started to make a name for herself in the Muskoka Real Estate Marketplace. A strong proponent of Sharon's philosophy is “the only constant is change". Leaving the family-held brokerage, 'Merchant Real Estate' after 14 years, 'Johnston & Daniel Muskoka' took Sharon into the fold and provided her with the opportunity to further her profession with seasoned realtors with exceptional local knowledge. ‘J & D’ served as a great spring board for Sharon when she, along with a handful of other Realtors reached out to the founders of 'Chestnut Park' in 1994. Sharon continued to broaden her experience in Chestnut Park's 'boutique' style brokerage for 17 years as an established Professional Realtor. The Muskoka Real Estate Marketplace is no longer home to just boutique brokerages. Competition has expanded the Real Estate Marketplace in Muskoka and now includes several Real Estate firms. In 2014, Sharon and George joined Royal Lepage Lakes of Muskoka Realty in Port Carling. This move, combined with the ability to market internationally and nationally through technology provides Sharon and George’s clientele with exceptional service. Clients are an integral part of Sharon and George's team. Sharon and George strive to give their clients the benefit of their local knowledge and abundant experience with honest advice to achieve an uncompromising level of service for buyers and sellers wishing to purchase or sell a Muskoka Waterfront property. There isn’t a lot of “down time” in this seasonal Muskoka Marketplace but when they have it, Sharon and George will be found on the water, volunteering on not-for-profit Boards, or relaxing on their dock in the Beaumaris area of Lake Muskoka where together, they raised their three children. As custodians of your hopes and dreams, the trust you place in Sharon and George will be the foundation of a successful working relationship streamlined to attain or sell your Muskoka dream vacation property.
This luxury property is located in the heart of one of Muskoka’s finest golf communities, the Port Carling Golf and Country Club. Call for an appointment to view.

A tax-efficient way to invest As part of a financial plan, corporate class funds can help you reduce the income tax you pay: 1. Switch or rebalance funds without triggering taxable gains When the need to switch funds arises, you can do so without triggering capital gains at transaction time, unlike mutual fund trusts, stocks, or bonds that incur tax upon being sold.* 2. Receive minimized, tax-efficient distributions The corporate class structure offsets investment gains and losses and interest and expenses over the various funds within the mutual fund corporation to minimize distributions. And, if distributions are made, they are composed of tax-preferred capital gains or dividends only – not highly-taxed interest income. 3. Benefit from tax-efficient compounding Because you can switch funds within the corporation without triggering taxable gains, and benefit from minimized, tax-efficient distributions, you can reduce the amount of tax you pay. This means you keep more money invested so your money can grow faster over time. * If there is a gain at time of sale

SIMPLE SWING Have a simple swing.. With no unnecessary movements, you can eliminate those motions that could be getting in the way of a great swing. As you are getting your swing where you want it try using a simple three-quarters swing without bending your elbows. This will help your body get into the right groove.
GET THAT RHYTHM You need rhythm for a good swing. A nice easy tempo and rhythm will help you get into that groove.. Hum a tune or count to get a tempo down for a smooth swing. With a three-quarters swing it’s a lot less difficult to get into that simple 1-2...3 rhythm. That is 1-2 back and 3 down.
POSITION & GRIP Your setup should be so that your are aiming slightly to the right of the target and your grip should be in a strong position holding the club firmly, but not with a death grip. Too tight a grip will make your muscles tighten preventing a smooth motion. One of the major causes of slicing is that the club is twisted during the swing, which makes it hit the ball from the outside in, thus creating a slice.
ROTATE AROUND YOUR SPINE RO Always have your spinet straight and acting as an axis for your swing. Your body can rotate around this axis but it can not move from side to side. This will help you simplify your golf swing.
ROTATING YOUR HIPS With your spine straight, minimize hip rotation in your golf swing. In golf, that hip rotation causes slicing. However, don’t mistake this for removing hip rotation in your swing as it is still necessary to create power in your swing.

Golfers try to copy the golf swings of the well-known pros. But there is no such thing as THE perfect swing. There is only the perfect swing for each golfer. Each of our bodies is different so we each must create the best swing possible for the body we live in. With the right tools and regular practice we can get that perfect swing for each of us. th Here are some more basics that can help you get your swing in the groove:
1.
Be properly aligned. Place a club on the
ground lined up directly to the target and make certain that your toes are on that same line. However when you are trying to ďŹ x a slice your right toes should be slightly behind the line so you will bring the clubface from the inside out counteracting a slicing motion. Sometimes, Sometimes golfers will try to correct for a slice by pulling the left foot back and aiming to the left. This simply generates a slice.
2.
Make sure that you have a relaxed stance
that will let you rotate your body in the most effortless way possible. When you achieve that comfortable stance, then you should have less problems.
3.
Concentrate on your shot. Don’t be
thinking about what just happened or what may happen next.
4.
Let your natural rhythm take over. Do not
think about the mechanics of the golf swing.
This will just interfere with hitting the ball.
Keep it simple so you can concentrate and
keep your eye on the ball. These methods will
help you cure your golf slice.

SHARPEN Y O U R G A M E
If you are a budding player, then here are some very important golf tips to help you sharpen your golf skills like the swing including the ball position, backswing golf tips and the down swing golf tips. If you are rather serious about your game, then make sure to practice these golf tips on a regular basis and watch the progress in your game.
SOME BALL POSITION GOLF TIPS: To make the iron shots precise and crisp, make sure that you do not hit the golf ball in the downward manner. But in order to achieve the downward blow of the ball, position the ball in proportion to the stance that you have taken. Thus to hit the iron shots, practice the below mentioned golf tips while positioning your body in such a manner that the ball is at the centre of your stance for the shorter irons like the 8, 9 irons as well as the wedges. For the mid irons like the 5, 6 and the 7 irons, place the ball one forward from the centre and for the fairway clubs like the 3 and the 5 woods and the hybrid clubs, place the ball two forward from the center. In case of the driver, place the ball three balls forward from the center.
SOME FULL SWING GOLF TIPS: In case of the back swing, rotate the club keeping the arms and the body at the back while moving the body weight to the inside of your back leg. For completing the back swing, hinge the wrists as they are approaching the waist level. While at the top of the back swing, make sure that the leading arm is straight and most of your body weight is on your back leg and also make sure that your back knee is flexed. Rotate your shoulders up to 90 degrees while at the top of the back swing and rotate your hips to 30 degrees.
DOWN SWING GOLF TIPS: When you wish to down swing, shift your body weight to your front leg. This will make sure that your hips, arms and the shoulders will also follow this shift of the weight. Check that the head is behind the ball. Continue with the turning of your body even after the impact position so as to make your club and the arms extend towards the target. by Robert Samuels

GOLF IS A BEAUTIFUL GAME WITH A SIMPLE OBJECTIVE, DRIVE THE BALL INTO THE HOLE. BUT AS SIMPLE AS THIS GOAL IS, CARRYING IT OUT WELL ENOUGH TO BE A CHAMPION IS NOT SIMPLE OR EASY. EXCEPT YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A MASTER GOLFER.
HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU PLAY BETTER GOLF:
1
PREPARE BOTH MENTAL & PHYSICAL If you are not prepared to play mentally and physically, you won’t be at your best. So anytime you have a golf game at hand, do whatever it takes to get you prepared. Make sure you prepare yourself both mentally and physically. Winning starts in the mind, but is carried out physically by the body. Both must be well paired to be at your best.
41
2
KNOW YOUR CLUBS The golf club is very important in the game of golf. If you are really interested in enjoying your game, you must know your clubs well. It’s in knowing your club that you know your swing and how to direct your drives.
3
STUDY YOUR COURSE Just as important as the clubs in the game of golf is the golf course. Great players are those who take time to study their course. Knowing your course has the advantage of letting you know where to avoid in the course and where to focus your drives. When you know your course well, you know where the trouble spots are and how to avoid them. This helps you to play better golf because you will be having a nice game.
42
newagemg.com
4
DON’T LET OTHER PLAYER INTIMIDATE YOU To be your best at the game you must never allow the people you are playing against to intimidate you. No matter how good they are, don’t let their track records intimidate you, if you do you will lose focus. Make sure your focus is on the game, playing your best and not on your opponents and what they have done in the past. “Here and now is what matters” should be what you should keep telling yourself. You will be surprised how beatable these people are when you don’t allow them to intimidate you.
5
PRACTICE SWINGING YOUR HANDS The golf club is very important in the game of golf. If you are really interested in enjoying your game, you must know your clubs well. It’s in knowing your club that you know your swing and how to direct your drives.
6
DO SWING CORRECTLY If you want to play the game of golf at your best, you should get your swing right. Basically there are six parts to a swing in golf. These are: back swing, take-away, correct posture and position, the correct alignment of the golf club, impact and the follow through. Getting this right will guarantee perfect swings during the game and help you play better golf.

Coconut Water B E N E F I T S
Coconut juice is a typical drink in tropical nations; it’s refreshing and relatively cheap. Some people put coconut strips, fresh milk and a bit of sugar into it to further enhance its health benefit but most individuals are okay just enjoying it in its pure form. For those who don’t know, coconut water is the liquid present inside young coconuts before they mature. Several researches reveal coconut water benefits that not a lot of people are aware of. Prior to these researches, the benefits were solely zoned in on how this special fluid helps in the digestion of food and cleansing. Studies reveal that coconut water is actually rich in potassium which a lot of individuals with busy lifestyles profit from greatly as the nutrient is acknowledged to keep the muscles healthy. A lot of athletes actually choose it over regular water after a routine because it can restore electrolytes. People on a diet can also choose this refreshing beverage to assist them to reduce weight because coco water is low on carbs, sugar and sodium. For some, it has a diuretic benefit which is great for disposing of toxins from unhealthy food choices. This water is also known to boost metabolic rate which helps greatly in healthy weight management. It’s rich in anti-fungal, anti-microbial and anti-viral components that help cure certain diseases. In most tropical nations, people with fever are usually advised to have a glass of coconut water to help cure infection, improve circulation and chill the body down. Included as well in the long checklist of such water benefits is its effectivity in addressing urinary tract infection. The liquid has components that increase regular urination, therefore getting rid of unhealthy build-up of microorganisms around the system that results in the unpleasant feeling during and after urination. Apart from this, coconut water benefits can also help in treating kidney and urethral stones.

Because of its low sugar and carb content and antimicrobial components, coco water is an excellent drink for those who have diabetic issues. Studies also claim that cytokinins (e.g., kinetin and trans-zeatin) in coconut juice possess anti-ageing, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-thrombotic effects. Also a great source of vitamin B complex (riboflavin, niacin, thiamine, pyridoxine, and folates), it can in fact give a natural mosquito-repellent covering on the skin. The rich vitamin B complex creates a distinctive scent that effectively turns away mosquitoes, making coconut water a genuinely excellent summer drink. Lastly, coconut water has been utilized worldwide for oral rehydration therapy or ORT. People suffering from excessive loose bowel movement and even vomiting replenish lost electrolytes and recover strength after having coconut water as ORT.

2 TRICKS TO
SHOULDERS ON LINE, FEET SHUT Shoulders square to the target, feet slightly shut. Not one person really speaks about this shot very much, but if it comes up at all you’ve probably been told, “If you’re going to hit the driver off the deck you’ve got to hit a big swing. It’s the only way to get the ball up.” Actually, that’s not correct at all. If you have enough club head quickness there’s no need to just hit a big cut. Of course you can hit a big cut if that’s what you want to do. You can still strike it well, and high, and far, but you lose control of the ball and you lose length. For this shot, you’re trying to hit the ball dead straight. Maybe a slight cut if you want to, but you can actually work the ball both ways when striking the driver off the deck. Take your regular driver arrangement, with your feet a little bit shut. Line up your shoulders and club face square to the target line. Keeping your feet slightly shut helps shallow out your path on the way back and through. That’s important, because if you have a very steep path you’re just going to heave that club head right down in the earth. You need to sweep the ball, but you still have to hit down on it with the driver when you’re hitting it off the deck.
CLUB HEAD INSIDE SHALLOWS THE PLANE There are a couple little tricks to make this shot functional. First is that you can see in the first photo below that the club face is dead square to his feet line. That’s intentional. That’s planned. Rather than focusing on getting it square to the shoulder plane or the target line, you want the club head a little bit inside. Why would you want that? Squaring the club face to the feet line helps you come through the ball more shallow. If you take the club back very steep you’re going to have to redirect it on the way back down. Club face square to feet line (left), left forearm rotation, club face square to feet line (left), left forearm rotation (center, right). You want it to go back and through on a very comparable plane, so you want to take it back very shallow. As you go back you’re actually getting more revolution in your left forearm from off the ball, to get the club coming back behind your hands. You want that spin in your hands because it helps shallow out the path on the way back. As you keep going to the top you’re still rotating the left forearm, getting the arm plane a little shallower than usual. As you get closer to the top, even though you’ve rotated your left forearm pretty aggressively taking the club back, the club face is still square to your forearm.

SELECTING THE BEST
GOLF CLUBS
48

For beginning golfers, the minimum clubs needed to get started are drivers, wedges, putters and irons.
Each
different type of club is designed to help with swing speed and correct flaws in your play, thus improving your score. There are myriad gadgets and accessories out there, some actually necessary and others not. The absolute basics are a golf bag, golf balls, golf shoes, a golf cap and protective covers for your golf clubs.There are many variables to consider in choosing which golf club to use in a particular circumstance. An understanding of the attributes of each type of club will help you choose wisely. The more you understand the results attained by using clubs made of different materials, the better equipped you will be. One of the less expensive materials used in golf club shafts is steel. These clubs will generally weigh more, but will last longer. Steel shafts will also give you more control over fast swings. Graphite shafts are lighter, but more costly. This type of club is used for long distance shots or for slower swingers. Another factor to consider is the flexibility of the shaft or bend. The less bend a shaft has, the more control a powerful swinger will have. For beginners and those with less powerful swings, a shaft with greater flexibility will give better results. Generally speaking, buy the best golf clubs you can afford. The quality of your clubs and choosing the proper type of One of the keys to buying the best golf clubs is a basic
