Often when you first start playing golf you will find it extremely difficult to get your golf swing right. You may well find that even though your swing looks right you are still having difficult in getting your golf score down. this is because often you have not spent enough time in learning about the proper way to swing a golf club. Certainly a lot of golfers are mistaken that just because their swing looks good then they will be much more successful at playing the game. Even if your swing does look good it does not mean that you have actually learnt the right or proper way in which it should be swung. In fact when it comes to swinging your golf club correctly you may well find that it takes you a long time to master this particular skill.

Below we provide some tips which should help you to learn about how to swing your golf club properly and this may well help to take a few shots of your overall golf score next time you play.

The first thing that you can do in order to improve the way you swing your golf club is to look at the way you grip the club and then start to improve it. Often a lot of players who have taken up golf as a hobby will forget about the way in which they are actually gripping the club in their hands. It does not matter what kind of grip it is that you use (whether it be intertwined or over lapped) you need to make sure that the pressure you are placing on the club handle is neither to tight or loose. Also make sure that you are gripping the handle with your hand rather than just your fingers and that your wrists remain relaxed at all times, but neither should they be loose.

As well as looking at the ways your hands are gripping the club you should look carefully at the way you stand. Your stance and your body should at all times be level with your feet and these should be far enough apart in order to provide you with a good level of balance yet you should still feel comfortable whilst stood in this position.

As for when you go into the back swing position (where you take the club up and behind your head) it is important that this is relaxed and your arms are in a position which is level with the grass under your feet. Generally your club should be held in a position of around 90 degrees.

Above we have looked at some of things that can help to ensure that you learn the proper way to swing a golf club. But even using these will not help to improve it overnight, in fact it may take weeks, months even years before you are actually swinging your golf club in the correct manner.

hurricane Katrina was serious indeed. Since the City of New orleans is 12 feet underwater already it has always been at risk. The storm surge from hurricane Katrina went right over the barrier islands and the waves severely impacted the lake. It was also due to the massive rains that filled up the canal over flows and sent increased water up the canals. Meanwhile the mississippi is on the high side and is now draining in its normal flow plus that of the hurricane. Add this to the wind of the Category 4 or 5 Land fall of Katrina and it was almost the worst case scenario and the levees were breached in several places and perhaps large enough breaches to actually fill up New orleans like a bowl of soup. Some computer models have predicted up to 30 feet of water in some places. Not good, obviously and unfortunately those models turned out to be very close to what has now happened..

Much study has been done on this and the dangers are well known and researched here are the links below.

Even after hurricane Katrina passed we know it will be three weeks as all the water from the remnants of Katrina runoff down the rivers including the mighty mississippi which drains as it passes thru the City of New orleans, if and when the banks flow over into the city, the water will continue to flow and getting that much water out of the City Soup Bowl of New orleans could take months. It appears that has now happened the city soup bowl is nearly full. But alas from the lake side not the mississippi side. This has caused complete devastation of the city to the point of some starting to float the question; why bother rebuilding it due to costs? We have been promised we will rebuild and so we shall. That is going to take years. Think on this.
