“The wise in heart accept commands, but a chatter-ing fool comes to ruin.”Prov. 10:8

In the 1300s, Tamer-lane didn’t mess around. When he conquered a place, he was known to leave behind 30-foot-high pyramids made of the severed heads of his enemies. And, if he had heads left over, he would use them for an invigo-rating round of polo. He destroyed the Chris-tian church in Asia, but he also destroyed many Arab cities, and some of his worst atrocities were in India.

Who would most likely head for the planet Mon-go to foil Ming the Mer-ciless and his evil plans?A) Buck RogersB) Flash GordonC) Luke SkywalkerD) Superman

Like all husbands, I do whatever my wife says.And my wife says we should go to Mizner Park more often. Not just the two of us, but also with our dog.I’ve talked in the past about how we would gravitate to Mizner Park every time we visited Florida before we moved here 10 years ago. A lot of things have changed, but there are still many at-tractions worth seeing.We met friends for dinner at one of the restaurants in Mizner Park this past weekend, and happened to get a window seat. As we talked, we couldn’t help noticing the large number of people outside. Many of the shops were open and the eating spots all seemed to be crowded.One thing I hadn’t noticed before was the number of people with dogs. Most of them were small (the dogs, that is), and we have a poo-dle who’d fit in just nicely.

Don’t pooh-pooh Mizner Park as popular venue for dogs

It appeared that dogs have been a feature in Mizner Park for some time. Canine fanciers of all sorts were there. I saw one woman with a dog on the end of a leash that had little lights attached. Another man stood by as people came over to give his dog a pat on the head or a little nuzzle. I have to give the city of Boca Raton credit for kee-ping up with the needs of Mizner Park. During the first week of January, it in-stalled the first of seven pet waste stations in Mizner Park. It did occur to me that a large number of dogs in one location could cause a hygiene problem.I receive a computer-gene-rated picture of one of the stations that dispense dog waste bags - and right near-by was a trash receptacle.“Please clean up after your pet,” the mechanism urges.Dog owners should pay at-tention to this effort to meet

the needs of their four-legged friends. If you bring your dog to Mizner Park, please follow the rules. The shoes you save may be your own.

The great outdoors on Super Bowl nightThis past Sunday night around 7:30, my dog de-cided it was time to go for a walk.Most of the world was watching the Super Bowl. I respect the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers, but I’m not a fan of either. As a New Eng-lander, I am allied with the Patriots. And their hopes were dashed in the play-offs.So I decided to take my dog for a walk to observe the outside world on Super Bowl night.It was quieter than I thought, though I heard cheering coming from at least one house. One of my neigh-

bors had a Green Bay Pack-ers flag over his doorway, and another house had a TV in the garage, and eve-ryone sat outside to watch the game.I saw only one pizza de-livery vehicle, but another neighbor arrived home carrying what appeared to be a pizza and something wrapped in a paper bag on top - I assume it was a sal-ad, but - who knows?There was little vehicle or foot traffic. I could easily hear the sound of cars on the turnpike. The sky was a deep indigo with many stars and a sliver of moon showing.While the night was chilly, it could not have been any-where near as cold as in Dallas.The first story on the 11 o’clock news that night was the fact that Green Bay won. Super Bowl XXV was officially over. And the world continued turning.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER

In an effort to contrast des-pair from hope, author Re-uel Howe stated that “de-spair is response to things that have happened. Hope is living actively in antici-pation of things that have not yet happened.” Those acquainted with the world’s great Fairy Tales will remember that many of those stories conclude with the remark, “And they lived happily ever after!” Certain aspects of the story may have shown grave difficulties, and even tragic moments in the life of one or more characters in the story, but the conclu-sion was inevitably a posi-tive one!Some of the things we hope for today, obviously, may never happen at all, while others shall defi-nitely occur. Indeed, life never denies hope to those

Keep Your Hope Alivewho live it as they must, and prefer to anticipate the best instead of the worst. One may always count on a response to one’s stated hopes - sometimes exa-ctly as they desire to see it manifested; quite often, with something even far better than the content of their expectations; much that is yet to come your way shall often transcend whatever you may ask or think!Keep your hope alive, no matter what may be hap-pening to you at any given moment. It is only in the midst of trials and hard-ships that anyone can hope for release; it’s while in pain that one may antici-pate its cessation; it’s when you find yourself inside a dark and endless tunnel that you can count on the light which shall soon re-

appear at the other end!Wars may be raging ‘round about us, economic condi-tions may be crumbling e-verywhere, dishonesty and corruption may abound e-ven in high places, other aspects of moral decline may be rampant in various sectors of society, besides additional uncertainties that may be very real to you. Nevertheless, keep your hope alive, for one’s trust is not to be in institutions, not in military arsenals, not in powerful persons or establishments, but in the true and living God, Who reigns supreme over the affairs of humans and na-tions! Triumph is guaran-teed for those aligned with Him, and dependent on Him and none other!

BOCA RATON - The Ame-rican Heart Association has announced the chairmen of the 2011 Boca Raton Heart Ball, Nick Carrera, president & CEO of Carrera & Part-ners, and Nick Schneider, president & CEO of Global Wings are co-chairing the event that takes place Sat-urday, February 26 at St. Andrew’s Country Club in Boca Raton. Carrera, a heart disease survivor, underwent open-heart surgery to replace his ascending aorta and aor-tic valve in March 2009. Through his experience, he witnessed a first-hand account of research and te-chnology made possible by funds generated through the American Heart Associa-

tion. “I had an aortic aneurysm that was at the point of pos-sibly rupturing. Fortunate-ly, they found it and I now have the whole aortic root of a pig and a Dacron tube for my ascending aorta,” said Carrera. “It is research

that is funded by the Amer-ican Heart Association that has saved my life. If it we-ren’t for these advances, I very possibly may not be here today.” Thought Schneider doesn’t have a history of heart disease in his family, he knows of numerous indi-viduals who’ve been af-fected throughout their life. His goal as chairman of the 29th annual event is to at-tract solid and passionate support from the communi-ty and to help fellow com-munity members develop a stronger appreciation and understanding of the Ame-rican Heart Association. “The American Heart As-sociation is perceived posi-tively by 98 percent of the American public,” Schnei-der said. “I couldn’t be a-ligned with a more worth-while cause and I want each and every person connected to the event to truly under-stand how we bring the mis-sion to life.” William W. O’Neill, M.D., F.A.C.C. has been named the 2011 Boca Raton Heart Ball Medical Honoree.

O’Neill is the Executive Di-rector for Clinical Affairs - Professor of Medicine and Cardiology at the Universi-ty of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Community honoree is Jim Sackett, WPTV News-Channel 5 Anchor and heart attack survivor and the Sports Honoree is Keith Byars, former NFL player and varsity football coach for the Boca Raton Com-munity High School Bob-cats.

FOOD REVIEWBy Marc Kent

Boca RaToons - by Ray Russoto

The 130 restaurant chain that grew out of a single steakhouse in 1965 New Or-leans prides itself- and right-ly so - on preparing their steaks and chops to perfec-tion in an 1800 degree oven and serving sizzling hot on a 500 degree plate, keeping it “ hot and delicious from first bite to last”. We agree.As a prelude, we enjoyed tasting four available soups - a light, yet full bodied lobster bisque, a sweet tast-ing corn and clam chowder, a rich Louisiana seafood gumbo with a hint of spice and, in true French style, a best ever onion soup.The half dozen imported escargot, poached in red wine and broiled in a gentle garlic butter with a touch of pernod, were plump and fla-vorful. Served with a couple of toast points for the sauce dipping, it is an excellent choice to make.The Caesar salad was a dis-appointment as the roughly chopped Romaine had a weak Caesar dressing. There are five additional salads to choose from.Three nice sized sizzling blue crabcakes made with a bit of panko, were warm and soft and tasty on the palette. The palette awoke with the lightly fried calamari as it’s sweet and spicy Asian chili sauce stayed with us after the delicious, tender calamari was consumed. Another sa-vory appetizer was the veal osso buco ravioli - a serving of four good sized saffron infused pillows filled with

Ruth’s Chris - Elegance in Dining

braised veal - a wonderful, filling dish not to be missed! Nine additional fresh and savory appetizers are listed.A house favorite of barbe-cued shrimp as well as a stuffed chicken breast and a vegetable plate of three choices are posted as well. We noted seventeen choic-es of vegetable and potato sides including - as house favorites - rich and delicious creamed spinach and a great sweet potato casserole. We also enjoyed tasting their mashed potato with a hint of roasted garlic and their fresh asparagus with hollandaise. All sides were piping hot, tasty and each enough for two diners.The heading of “steaks and chops” offer ten choices for your selection. We ordered the filets, one prepared medium rare and one well done. Both arrived sizzling in their juices and each had been timed so that when they were sliced open, the color was perfect and the taste sublime! Thank you, Chef John Broz. P.S. the menu has a full description of each of the five degrees of doneness to assure your satisfaction. We discussed the degree of broiling with our server and were satis-fied. The lamb chops were perfectly done but we pre-fer a more gamey taste than what we experienced. .This evening” Ruth’s Spe-cial Entrees” featured a gril-led wild salmon, a garlic encrusted Chilean sea bass and lobsters - eight ounce

tails and live Maine lobsters of various sizes.We opt to try three of the six desserts. Crème brulee with fresh berries, nice and smooth. A great bread pud-ding with whiskey sauce that was superb and a choc-olate explosion of devil’s food cake with warm, mol-ten center and topped with vanilla ice cream and cara-mel sauce - a very sweet chocolate selection..As a finale Ruth’s Chris has a selection of coffees, ports and sherries, cordials, co-gnacs and dessert wines as well as scotches and bour-bons.Please take note that Ruth’s Chris Classics - a seasonal menu consisting of a starter, an entrée, personal side dish and dessert can be ordered at a very reasonable price of $39.95 or $49.95, depen-ding upon the entrée. A true value for superior food.For wine lovers and wine experts, some 30 fine spar-kling, whites and reds can be had by the glass, another 35 by the half bottle and over 200 by full bottle.Seating 250 or so Ruth’s Chris hours are 5PM to 10PM from Mondays thru Thursdays, until 11PM on Fridays and Saturdays. They are open 4:30PM until 9PM on Sundays.Located at 225 NE Mizner Boulevard in Boca Raton (561-392-6740), this is the zenith in steakhouse dining- Go and enjoy!

BOCA RATON - Tanya Cross has special plans for Valentine’s Day.The Boca Raton business-woman will travel nearly halfway around the world to bring clothing, specially designed Valentine’s Day gifts and presents to chil-dren at an orphanage in the town of Oradea.Cross said she will be “per-sonally traveling to Roma-nia to bring the orphans warm coats, sweaters, boots, mittens, a football and a soc-cer blanket (donated by the Boca Raton High School girls soccer team) that were collected at our Cut for Coats event at Salon 300 this past holiday season.”A hairdresser at Salon 300 in Boca Raton, Cross is a

Local woman bringing special ‘Valentine’ gifts to orphanage in Romania

single mom with two teen-age children and also sells hair products online. She is creating a site, www.lock-sofinspiration.org, to gather stories of courage and ins-piration and send them world-wide.Cross got her first look at conditions in the Roma-nian orphanage during a church-sponsored trip in 2009. “Orphans have a tough life,” she said. “But the most horrifying thing is that they get no love, the building block of life and personality.”After returning to the US, she intensified her efforts to help the orphans. The Boca Raton store Boston Proper donated seven large garbage bags of clothing. When she visits, she in-tends to teach the kids in

Romania how to sew them and wear them.This past week, Evelyn Ballin from the Heart Painter encouraged patrons to “create a Cupid chain of Valentines that connects hearts from America to an orphanage in Romania.” A day later, Cross was back at Boca High to finish Valen-tine’s projects.“I would love to do so much more for these kids,” said Cross. “But new cli-ents and donations can only accomplish so much.” But she added, optimistically, “One person cannot do ev-erything, but everyone can do something.”

ENTERTAINMENTBy Skip Sheffield

If you think that nice guys fi-nish last, then you haven’t met Tom Scalera. This local Boca Raton businessman keeps a low profile but does some high profile work.As the president and CEO of Stanley Steemer of South Flor-ida and the Treasure Coast, he interacts with hundreds of people on a daily basis. And he loves every minute of it. Scalera not only relishes interacting with people, but it is his mission to make them happy (no, he is not a descen-dent of Mother Teresa).His aim to please was in-grained early on in this native New Yorker. His father Thom-as owned one of the most successful Sunoco stations in White Plains and taught his sons to enjoy hard work and to respect the needs of the customer. Although these two things seem antiquated in to-day’s irreverent work places they are firmly cemented in Scalera’s foundation.“My father taught me it’s about integrity. You should do what you say you are going to do and if a customer needs anything you should take care

Stanley Steemer owner Tom Scalera is cleanly customer and community

orientedof them,” said the father of two. So Scalera does just that. He not only interacts with cus-tomers on a daily basis, but he makes sure that his staff treats customers as if they were on the Forbes list of Billionaires. “We call all our customers to make sure our technicians were courteous and friendly, and we answer the phone by greeting our customers cheer-fully.”There’s a lot more that Sca-lera’s company does as well. They not only clean rugs and furniture, but they do indoor air quality upgrades by clea-ning air conditioning coils and removing pollutants (their motto is a clean home is a healthy home). This may sound too good to be true, but if you ask Jessica Ro-driquez she will tell you this stuff really works. “My four-year-old son Frankie had se-vere asthma and allergies but after Stanley Steemer cleaned our air conditioning system his health improved dramati-cally.”What is amazing is that 10 percent of the public has al-

lergies and asthma. And South Florida is a haven for these tiny allergens (been there; done that) that need eradicating. That’s why I was so amazed when Scal-era told me about their new byoGlobe treatment that kills bacteria and viru-ses. Apparently they use this product on cruise ships to kill bacteria and in ho-tels to change smo-king rooms to non-smoking ones.Scalera takes this stuff so serious that he has a “Healthy

Home Package” that elimi-nates the bad air in homes and offices. And it’s also what makes him feel good about himself and his business.“I’m all about helping people; it’s not about the money. When people’s lives are changed for the better it makes me feel good. I get the most satisfac-tion when I can help affect a person’s life.”And this is not just hyperbole. After the earthquake in Haiti, Scalera came to the rescue for his Haitian employees. Since most of them needed money to send to their families Scalera gave each employee of Haitian origin $1,000. He also came to the rescue for another person, Al Green. When Green’s wife passed away he asked Scalera if he could work for him (to keep busy). Scalera not only gave him a job, but together they launched a new venture with synagogues and churches. This new program gives 10 percent of any job done back to the house of worship as a donation.Scalera also gives $50 gift certificates for any $5 dona-tion made to Relay for Life (of the American Cancer Society) and he was a generous sponsor of the Junior League Woman Volunteer of the Year Award event.What is also amazing is that Scalera started out cleaning carpets for Stanley Steemer in 1982 (when there were only four trucks). Now that he owns the company they have are 40 trucks and Scalera’s is one of the top producing franchises.And it’s easy to see why. “We always ask our customers if we can assist them while we are at the home. It’s nice to do something unexpected - be-cause people don’t always re-member what you said or did, but they do remember how you made them feel.”Tom and Melody Scalera

Webster’s definition of the word ‘selling’ is “1. to give up, deliver, or exchange (property, goods, services) for money or its equiva-lent.” Webster’s lists ano-ther definition, which gives the word a more universal and pragmatic meaning, “6. to persuade someone of the value of something.” Everybody is doing it; sell-ing is not a dirty word. The persuasion process can start with something as simple as this, “Honey, do you want to go out for dinner tonight? There is a special deal on the lobster dinner at The Fishery.” Or, it can be as complex as doing a thorough research project to collect supporting infor-mation, statistics, and pros and cons in preparation for an important presentation. The guy who recruits a couple of good friends to come along for a golf weekend, the grandpa who convinces his grandson of the importance of going to college; they are all sell-ing. They are selling their ideas, solutions, or simply their personalities. They are persuading someone of the value of something and of-fering a mutual benefit.In the Real World, each one

Selling is not a dirty wordof us attempts to sell our deals to people each day; not only at work but also within the familial and so-cial environments. Life is full of non-business sales pitches and negotiations, and those who are better at selling often experience more satisfaction. Selling is a somewhat subjective process; every salesperson has a unique style but every successful selling approach involves communication, observa-tion, presentation, persua-sion, negotiation, integrity, and the ability to close. Learning these skills can help one in many more ways than just earning a salary. To a large degree, our mastery of sales skills significantly affects the quality of our relationships with family, friends and co-workers.When selling is done cor-rectly, selling is far from a ‘dirty word.’ It forms a foundation that allows for relationships, both business and personal, to grow for the mutual benefit of both par-ties. Mastering the skills of selling will benefit your advancement in whatever path you choose, be it sales-related or not.

In business, we find there are a countless number of ways to go about sell-ing, and theoretically each business formulates its own sales strategies ac-cording to the nature of its industry, the character of its customers, and the economic environment within which it operates. Whether a business suc-ceeds in achieving this for-mula also often determines whether the business itself succeeds or fails.Sales techniques can help you form and improve vital relationships with customers, bosses, and co-workers. The persuasion methods can assist you with getting cooperation from difficult people and a better understanding of human interaction can im-prove your personal rela-tionships with your friends and family.So, we see, “Selling is not a dirty word.”Excerpts from the book, The Real World Guide to Fashion Selling & Man-agement, Gerald J.

DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLEBy Mike Gora

Michael H. Gora has been certified by the Board of Specialization of The Florida Bar as a specialist in family and matrimonial law.

FAITHBy Pr. Sandy Huntsman

The wife described what brought her to the brink of divorce to her newly ac-quired attorney by explain-ing that her husband, a re-tiree, monopolized the only TV in the house and only watched fishing shows and pornography.“I told him,” she said, “I told him that he ought to give up the fishing shows, because he already knew how to fish.”The crowd of about 1,100 divorce lawyers broke out in loud applause and laughter as Miami appellate attorney Cynthia Greene finished her joke, and went back to her annual presentation of the most important appellate decisions of the past year. As usual, although her pre-sentation wound up the day and a half divorce law seminar at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Hotels and Conference Center, nobody leaves before Cynthia talks. And many non-lawyer hus-bands and wives of attend-ees help fill the room just for the show.Cynthia went on giving out tongue-in-cheek awards to the worst husband and worst wife of the year, and law firm as well, describing how one firm made sure it would

Divorce law seminar touches on the serious and light sides of a

tough professiongo down in ignominy by bringing an appeal in a mat-ter that could not be won, and in which the firm was embarrassed.Humor bubbled up in many of the presentations. Ky Koch of Clearwater, tal-king about equitable distri-bution, put a poster on the four huge screens, which a wife had posted all over her town bearing a photo of her husband with the headline, “Lost Dog” and a descrip-tion of how her husband had been found in bed with her best friend.Circuit Judge Peter Blanc of West Palm Beach opened his talk about paternity cases by playing the music from the original TV show “Mission Impossible,” and showing a photo of the cast, reminding us all that Leo-nard Nimoy had played a major role in that series well before he became Spock on “Star Trek.”But Blanc went much fur-ther with the help of some Disney animations, by ma-king Huey, Louie, and De-wey the subjects of a variety of paternity case situations. “After all,” said Judge Blanc, “they were raised by their crazy uncle Donald Duck, for mysterious reasons; and

Donald was always a candi-date for an anger manage-ment program.”The seminar is sponsored by the Family Law Sec-tion of The Florida Bar and The American Academy of Matrimonial Attorneys, and is billed as a prep session for the Board Certification Examination, although it provides continuing educa-tion credits for all attend-ees, whether or not they are already Board Certified, or plan to take the test.The speakers and program were experienced and co-vered all of the major areas of family law, while provid-ing three volumes of material for later study. The day and a half gave the attendees, lawyers and judges alike, plenty of time to socialize with old friends, banter with colleagues, and find the best local restaurants and bars.While it might be a difficult concept for you civilians to grasp, the matrimonial bar of Florida is made up of well meaning, consci-entious, talented attorneys who have chosen a very dif-ficult specialty because of the emotional nature of the problems that you ask us to help you solve.

How we feel about oursel-ves is often directly linked to faulty thinking. Irratio-nal assumptions can lead to negative reactions, social conflict and personal dis-couragement. We are con-sidering three areas of dis-tortions in our thinking that need constant evaluation: Personal Distortions; Cul-tural Distortions and Philo-sophical DistortionsPersonal Distortion #1 “I Can And Must Achieve Per-fection”Pursuit of excellence is a good thing; obsessive per-fectionism is a destructive thing. Dr. David Burns, a psychiatrist, states “I do not mean the healthy pur-suit of excellence by men and women who take a genui-ne pleasure in striv-ing to meet high standards. Without concern for qual-ity, life would seem shal-low; true accomplishment would be rare. The perfec-tionists I am talking about are those whose standards are high beyond reach or reason, people who strain compulsively and unremit-tingly toward impossible goals and who measure their self-worth entirely in terms of productivity and accom-plishment.”Anyone who has ever played any sport knows you cannot do everything right all the time. Nobody can hit

Assumptionsa home run every time at bat; no one can catch every ball hit to him. The most re-cent Super Bowl is a testi-mony to how even the most talented musicians and ath-letes err. I guess that is why we all love the out-takes and bloopers of movies. Nobody can be “on” all the time.Correcting this distortion means my viewpoint of my-self and others must square with the facts: all humans fail. Philosophers use the phrase “to err is human” and theologians call this “the depravity of man.” The Bible, properly under-stood, deals with this rea-lity and provides a realistic perspective and solution. Its message has been summed up in three phrases: para-dise created; paradise lost; paradise restored. Michael D. Williams describes the Bible’s story as follows: God made it, we broke it, Jesus fixes it! However we describe it, we all observe a broken world and desire a perfect one. The Apostle Paul, of rich Jewish pedi-gree and educated at the feet of one of the most pres-tigious Jewish leaders said, “I don’t mean to say... that I have already reached per-fection. But I press on...I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: For-getting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,

I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” (Philippians 3.12-14)We must then “remember to forget” and “never forget to remember.” We must never forget we are part of a large family of failures. We try to hide them, deny them, fear them, ignore them, even hate our failures, but fail we will. Accepting failure as a reality becomes posi-tive and effective when we accept them as part of the process of success. Very lit-tle comes out right the first time. We have all heard the inspiring stories of Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and Abraham Lincoln who un-derstood that we can “fail forward” toward success.We must also remember to forget our successes. Our successes don’t exempt us from future failures nor does it catapult us into a new family, so there is little room for bragging. If your worldview makes you the center of your world where you and others perform flawlessly, you are in for a great disappointment. On the other hand, if your per-spective allows you to see yourself as part of a family of “fellow strugglers” you will find yourself in great company.

This year, the 26 female players already recruit-ed come from two of Team Boca’s High School senior age teams. “Our college recruitment program is sec-ond to none”, said Bill D’Addio, Team Boca’s Director for the past eight years. “Our entire curriculum for ages 9 through 18 is based on individual player develop-ment, so it’s extremely rewarding this year to have so many of our players achieve their ultimate goal of playing college soc-cer”, said D’Addio.

No matter how good a golf-er may be, he or she will not be any good at all without golf balls. Granted, it is a no-brainer that golfers need to have golf balls in order to play. But, the question is, which golf balls are the best. This is a sticky situation and depends almost entire-ly on the individual golfer and his or her tastes, what he or she expects out of the ball, and, quite frankly, how much money he or she wants to spend. There are golfers out there who will play with nothing but one brand of ball. No matter what else happens, they will only and always use this particular brand. What these balls cost is ir-relevant to them. It is this ball or no golf. Yes, this going to the extremes, but, let’s face it, there are people in this world who prefer liv-ing life at the extreme edge of sanity. Now, let’s get down to some common sense when it comes to the golf ball. We shall start with the begin-ning golfer. The beginner needs to forget what he or she may have heard about any brand or type of golf ball, what it does and how

Golf Balls - The first Piece of Basic Equipment


far it goes. Beginning golfers are going to lose a lot of golf balls. They need to think more about price than qual-ity. The beginning golfer needs to purchase “been around” balls, which are balls sold in bulk (around 50 to a bag), that have been found on golf courses and recycled, for lack of a better word. OK, these used golf balls are more often than not name brand balls, but this does not matter. The beginning golfer, in learning how to hit the ball straight, keep it in the fair-way, out of the woods and water, will go through dozens, if not hundreds of golf balls. Therefore, the logical thing for the beginning golfer to do is buy in bulk. As the golfer gets better, the best idea would be to move up to a better grade of ball. This, though, does not mean to rush out to the nearest golfing supply house and buy the most expensive ball on the shelves. Again, think about the price of the ball and the level of your skill. If a player has a tendency to slice the ball, or tends to top the ball (this is where the club head hits the top of the ball. While it gives the ball a lot of top spin, the ball does not travel far, and tends to be gashed by the club), stick with cheap balls. This does not mean stay with the bulk recy-cled balls, but inexpensive new ones. In theory, players get better the more they play. As the skill level increases, the golfer can experiment with different brands of golf balls, checking to see which ones he or she may like the best. And, a lot of thought should be given to the type of course the golfer will be using these balls on.Article Source: http://www.golfarticles.net
