The UK is neglecting its leadership pipeline - New research has found that many of the UK’s young leaders are being overlooked. A survey of 1,200 people by international leadership development organisation Common Purpose has found that less that half of people receive leadership development before the age of 25. This is despite the fact that over half of respondents said they had wanted leadership development at a younger age. Read more…

I’ve decided to drop a few pounds this year and look at a diet that I could easily manage with my busy life. I looked at a few but finally decided on the Weight Watchers at home plan as my wife thought it was ace.
So I got on the website, signed up and awaited my delivery of diet goodies to get me going…By the time the pack arrived I was already into the third day of my diet and feeling pretty hungry, missing all the things that made me fat in the first place, namely Pizza. Read more…

A lot of golfers use their wrists to putt which is one of the worst things you can do. Although you need a light grip, your wrists should be totally locked when putting to stop the club head moving all over the place during your swing. Read more…

This year’s instalment of shite holidays from The Sun arrived in the post this morning. What joy! If anyone reading this thinks it will actually happen forget it, it won’t.
I got stitched up last year by one of the parks and I’m still seething about it. I saw the deal in the paper, saved the tokens up and arranged for eight of my mates to go down to one of the parks near Bournemouth for 2 nights in a mobile home.

If you’re consistently hitting your putts off line then you’re probably setting up wrong which is a really easy thing to fix, try this series of tips and you’ll be putting straight in no time!
Tip 1
Line the ball up with your left eye...
Not setting yourself up properly is one of the most likely things to cause duff putts. Check that you’re doing it right. As you stand over the over the ball at address you should line up with your left eye directly over the top of the golf ball.
You can check this easily by setting up as above, then hold a golf ball up by your left eye and drop it. If you are lined up correctly, the ball should land directly on top of the ball on the floor, if not then you need to make an adjustment. You see, if your eyes are inside or outside the target line, it can cause you to regularly hit it off line as your perception is skewed.

Fluffing chips and pitches is a common mistake to make and is easily corrected by using a narrow and open stance. Make sure you keep your upper arms touching your chest as you rotate you upper body. This avoids you jabbing at the ball and fluffing it.

Decent golf tips are difficult to come by so I’m going to start adding a new one every couple of days so you can practice your skills over the winter. All of these tips can be practiced in the range or out on the course.
Try them out while you’re at the range by printing one off and taking it with you, or just look it up on your mobile while you’re there. Remember though, don’t fry your brain by trying too many tips at once, just master each one at a time and you’ll get some real success.
If you’re just starting out in golf, get lessons. It’s so worthwhile and will set you up properly for the future. I was taught by my dad which was great but meant that I instantly copied all his bad habits which still haunt me today.
If you’re an internediate golfer, then you should find these tips extremely helpful. Learn how to draw the ball, fade the ball, swing better, aim better, grip better. Quite simply, everything you need.
If you’re a pro, then leave some comments or maybe write a tip or two for the rest of us so we can enjoy some of your success!
Whoever you are, thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy all the info. RJ

I’m pretty damn chuffed to be honest as I made it through christmas without so much as a drag of a cigar or ciggie, even New Year’s eve! Woo!
Thank the lord for the nicotine gum tho. I’m supposed to be off it by now I think but sod it, it’s better than smoking. I only use the 2mg stuff now which has hardly any nicotine in it anyway. I just phoned up the Nicorette help line to see if they could sell me some gum with no nicotine in it at all, that would be ace. Read more…
