Main Reasons For Adult Group Tennis Lessons

By Davis Pete


There is always the dilemma of deciding between private or group tennis lessons. There are pros and cons for both. However, I would suggest that one should try both types of lessons out first before deciding on which one would be more suitable in improving your tennis game. Generally, for beginners, it is better to have private lessons as you will be able to learn more and faster. Group lessons can them be used to reinforce the techniques already learned during individual tennis lessons.

Next to really good exercise are the social advantages of joining an adult group tennis lesson. This is a fantastic way to meet new people and establishing contacts makes it worthwhile for an adult to sign up for tennis lessons. Group tennis lessons are always available at the local tennis clubs and facilities. Some people get a little nervous about learning in a crowd, but there really is nothing to be afraid about in a group atmosphere. Everyone is ordinarily at the same level and can learn from watching classmates.

The best part of the class is the camaraderie that can develop. Beginners have been known to encourage and cheer on the others in the class, making the whole experience a lot of fun. Believe it or not, but learning in a group can make mastering the basics much easier. Those just starting out in tennis have both the rules and the techniques of the game to master. It's easier in a group as everyone is learning the same thing at the same pace, and again, folks can observe how others do something and learn from watching..

All of us would like to learn tennis as soon as possible. Without any push, one may not be spurred on to perform at a higher level. However, in a group setting, the tennis lessons can be more intense with more people pushing one another to succeed.

There is another advantage adult group tennis lessons have for the beginner who is shifting from a sedentary to an active lifestyle. A private lesson may involve an enormous amount of exercise that the person is not yet physical ready to do. Frankly, because there are a number of people an instructor has to worry about; a beginner will hit fewer balls and run a lot fewer laps in a group class. Later, when that beginner has begun to physically improve, he or she can take more intense and physical lessons.

Following joining a group tennis lesson, the participant would have bonded and could practice with one another in their own time. This will allow better improvements in the student's tennis game.

Group tennis lessons tend to be more affordable on an hourly basis. This is because the coaching cost is spread out across a few students. As such, more people can come to learn the game of tennis.

Learning tennis in a group may be seen as safer as one is surrounded by many people. This is in contrast to private lessons which has only the coach and you. Loneliness and perhaps a sense of self consciousness may set in and this may have a negative mental effect on you learning the game.

Group tennis lessons tend to be more regimented with respect to its timing and schedule. Typically, lessons are conducted after working hours in order to facilitate more working adults to join the group tennis lessons.

Clemeton New Jersey's Pride Of The Links - Pine Valley Golf Links

By E R Schreyer


Pine Valley is a most unique golfing creation. Pine Valley has been referred to as the Apex of a challenging golf course itself almost a Penal Course design. It yields without all that much effort and trouble to the superior golfing enthusiast not too much effort or trouble, however those in the high handicap league will find the whole course length more than a bit challenging.

Way back in the year 1913, the Pine Valley Golfing Course was founded by a group of Philadelphia golfers. The place they found was actually made up of sandy ground for about 184 acres. They hired a designer in order to create holes that should not be parallel to the next. The site was actually challenging for both golfers and designers but through the years of studies and approximations, appropriate tee, slope, rating, yardage, and par are all established for the better. According to some regular players, the trademark of the Pine Valley Golf Club is all about its par three 5th hole that requires an accurate and well-designed yard for about 220 in an uphill place or over a lake into a green slopped. Par three 10th hole and par four in 18h hole are added.

Tournaments in Pine Valley have been popular for many years but they never handled major challenges because it cannot accommodate large number of spectators throughout the world. According to some interviews, the club does not have plans to cut some of the pines or trees generally located in the place. They added that they could cater amateur tournaments and public or private golf courses in the United States. As a proof to these things, the club earned many awards and rankings from 2003 to 2011 as the best Golf Course in the United States, New Jersey, and in the whole world of golf courses.

One of the earliest one-liners dating back to the clubs first decade had been repeated time and time again and applied to holes all over the golf and golfing world. It seemed that an awestruck newcomer finally reached the seventh tee and staring out at par 5 meekly asked Do you play this or take a picture of it on your cell phone ?

Pine Valley Golf Club is now making its way to reach those individuals who love sports and fond of taking challenges. This place has lot to offer like the accurate par threes and par five holes and you just need to see those things with courage and ambition. If you are searching for the best surroundings for your incoming game, you must consider this as your top priority.

Dangers Of Tubing In Vang Vieng

By Jonny Blair


Things on our travels don't always go well and here is my story of how NOT to go tubing in Vang Vieng in Laos - yes it's a great place but there are dangers and things can just go horribly wrong...I'm advising travellers to stay safe and careful!

Vang Vieng is a party town so head there, meet new friends and party the night away without a care in the world. Just be aware that you are going tubing the next day and you want to be in a fit and able state for that!

After the night up, it was up and ready for a crazy day of tubing. Everything was going well and a truck took us to the first bar of the tubing.

The next few hours were crazy and amazing - meeting new people, drinking, partying, dancing and singing. It was all good fun!!

Earlier in the day I had bought a green waterproof "Tubing Bag" for my wallet and my camera (plus one spare memory card). That was all I needed for the day - wallet and camera. The stupidest thing I did was I brought ALL my cards and money with me (including my Hong Kong ID card and my currency in HK Dollars, US Dollars and Laos Kipp). The reason I brought it all was I didn't trust leaving it in the hostel. First mistake was bringing it all with me. Second mistake was buying that green bag. By the time bar four arrived, as I was reeling myself in on the tube, I got distracted by a stupid green bottle on a rope which I thought was my waterproof bag. As I reached for it, I lost my way into the bar and turned round to swim across. It all happened very quick and the currents on the stream are fast, believe me. Once something disappears down the river, it's gone. My green waterproof bag (which was attached round my neck) had disappeared forever.

Going with it was my entire money and credit cards for the entire trip, plus 3 other ID cards and my camera full of memories of photos and videos. Oh dear! And I was now stranded in a bar in Vang Vieng. With other people of course. I met up with my mate Chaz again in the bar and he too had lost his wallet but kept his phone. He luckily didn't bring all his cards with him and I still have no idea why I risked taking everything into the river that day. Maybe to teach myself a lesson and realise I was wrong. I trusted myself more than I trusted the hostel, and I was wrong to do that.

I got a drink off my mate and managed to still have my flip flops and my travelling Northern Ireland flag. But I had lost the more important things - camera and wallet.

While my camera and wallet were busy floating away on the Nam Song, I managed to grasp on and keep a flag (my travelling Northern Ireland flag) and a pair of flip flops. I didn't even want the flip flops. Later I would learn I also picked up an ear infection from swimming in vain after a wallet I couldn't even see. I had lost my entire money for this trip. I was lucky my passport was back at the hostel and that I was safe and well.

After the third bar and with no money or anything, I walked along looking in vain for a clue as to where my wallet had gone. I was in the middle of nowhere and it was getting dark.

A local girl called Mickey saved the day, popping over with a scooter asking me to jump on and giving me a ride through the pouring rain back to the town of Vang Vieng. Pure madness. I was safe and well, but the tubing experience had been a bad one.

By the way you can get all sorts of drinks and drugs in Vang Vieng and on the tubing. People walk around drinking mushroom shakes and are off their heads on drugs.

Lessons to learn about the dangers of tubing in Vang Vieng, LAOS:

- Take only money with you - trust me.

- Make sure you don't take a camera - you will lose it or it will get broken. Borrow photos from others.

- NEVER buy or take a useless waterproof bag!

- Don't drink too much

- Don't take drugs

In closing - head to the town of Vang Vieng and go tubing but be very careful - it's dangerous, people die tubing every year.

You will still enjoy the town of Vang Vieng!

Safe travels!

Living the tubing dream in Vang Vieng...

Don't Stop Living!

How To Win A Tennis Point With The Approach Shot

By Davis Pete


Putting pressure on your opponent is the name of the game these days. Therefore, the tennis approach shot will do the trick for you in destabilizing your opponent.

To be most effective in executing the approach shot, one should keep in mind that speed and distance to the net is key. Hence, being nearer the net would be better to hit an aggressive approach shot and then move up to the net to volley.

Following hitting a good and aggressive shot down the line, the momentum should carry you towards the net to either volley or smash away an expected weak return from the opponent. The opponent should feel terrified with the impending thought of knowing you will be storming the net and waiting for him to make a poor return. This is the intended thought you have to put into the opponent's mind.

Logically, it will take fewer steps to reach the net for a good coverage of the opponent's return if you were to hit the ball down the line as opposed to a diagonal shot. Therefore, it is imperative to drill the ball down the line hard and deep for a commanding position.

A good approach shot which is hard and flat and fast could also be an out right winner. This will allow you the luxury of not having to hit or volley the ball away. Drilling the ball flat will result in less reaction time being allowed to the opponent. This could result in him hitting a fairly weak return.

Your thought after you drive the approach shot is to wait for a weak return to pounce on. If you are to wait for a volley, you need to have good footwork in order to be ready for the volley.

The volley has to be done in a crouch position in order that you can see the ball earlier and be more alert towards a the return shot from the opponent. One should then volley the ball away from the opponent.
