Health Tips For Golfers

Health Tips For Golfers

Many avid golfers contort their bodies into oddly twisted postures, generating a great deal of torque. Couple this motion with a bent over stance, repeat 120 times over three or four hours, add the fatigue that comes with several miles of walking, and you have a good workout and a recipe for potential lower back trouble.

Purchase equipment that fits. Do not try to adapt your swing to the wrong clubs: A person six foot tall playing with irons designed for someone five inches shorter is begging for back trouble.

It is a good idea to spend some extra time performing quality stretches before and after your game to increase your trunk flexibility. Players need to improve their flexibility to maintain a more even and consistent swing plane and thus improve the likelihood of more consistent performance and less stress on the spine.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Memorial Day, as Decoration Day gradually came to be known, originally honored only those lost while fighting in the Civil War. But during World War I the United States found itself embroiled in another major conflict, and the holiday evolved to commemorate American military personnel who died in all wars.

For decades, Memorial Day continued to be observed on May 30, the date Logan had selected for the first Decoration Day. But in 1968 Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which established Memorial Day as the last Monday in May in order to create a three-day weekend for federal employees; the change went into effect in 1971. The same law also declared Memorial Day a federal holiday.

Memorial Day Traditions

Cities and towns across the United States host Memorial Day parades each year, often incorporating military personnel and members of veterans’ organizations. Some of the largest parades take place in Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C.

Americans also observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries and memorials. On a less somber note, many people take weekend trips or throw parties and barbecues on the holiday, perhaps because it unofficially marks the beginning of summer.
