However by learning a little about the fundamentals of the game will soon have any person new to the game in a while playing almost like a pro.

In this article we are going to take a closer look at the basics of the game relating to the equipment that you will need you start learning how to play golf.

The game of golf is played on a course and these can either be private or public and will consist of either 9 or 18 holes. If the course consists of 18 holes it will then broke up into 2 sections which are refer to as the front 9 holes and the back 9 holes.

In order to play the game you will need to have the following equipment:

Normally you should look to purchasing some woods, irons and a putter. Typically you should look at having 1, 2 and 3 wood clubs (however these go up to number 12) in your bag along with several of the irons (which are numbered 1 to 9) and also include a pitching and sand wedge in this group of clubs as well.

3. Golf Balls - Well you can not play a game of golf without these, again the person selling you your clubs will be able to decide which are the best kind of golf balls for you to use initially.

The reasons that people move to the raw side of things are varied;
to lose weight, to increase energy, to look as good as Demi Moore or to simplify their life. It doesn't matter what gets you there, but once you are there, if you do it correctly, you will very quickly feel the benefits. Often it will take two or three weeks for people to start to feel the raw energy buzz. Two or three weeks of you life, however, is not much, if what you get in return are the following:

weight Loss

weight loss on the raw food diet is almost a guarantee. Occasionally, people that are very thin due to lack of absorption of nutrients will gain weight. people who have pounds of unhealthy weight, will see it melt off on the raw food diet. Even those people that just have two or three kilos extra on their bones will soon feel a lot lighter. This author went from 62kg to 55kg from practicing the raw food diet.

Increased energy

energy increase on the raw food diet is a guarantee.
There are occasional hiccups where a particular person finds that they need to include more of a certain food to feel that energy. after a little experimentation, the energy comes. Always.

Clear Mind

One of my favorite benefits of the raw food diet is the clarity of mind that it brings. Once you get rid of the coffee from your diet, and begin to include fresh juices, sprouts and healthy fats, your mind, like everything else, begins to work twenty times better. Have you ever sat at your desk, in a daze, for ten minutes, unable to formulate a simple plan for the day? This does not mean you are stupid, lacking in concentration or in some way hindered. It means that your brain is simply not clear, due to an unhealthy body. This will be a thing of the past on a raw food diet.

No More 'Normal' Ailments

No more colds. No more flu. Say goodbye to allergies, varicose veins, acne, dandruff, constipation, athletes foot, arthritis, and the list goes on. What 'common' ailment do you have right now that hinders your existence? It is not NORMAL that you should have to contend with this. It will all go once you are on the raw food diet. They will not disappear overnight, as it took you years to pick up these problems, but they will go. All thanks to the raw food diet.

Finally, theyre all here. The xbox 360 has had the next generation gaming market to itself for a year. Now its two competitors, the Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii, are here. No more speculating about speed. No more guessing about memory. Now we can take a look and see exactly how they stack up compared to each other.

Let the console wars begin again.

Price

The ps3 has two configurations much like the Xbox 360. The ps3 comes in a $499 version that comes with a 20 GB hard drive and a $599 version that comes with a 60 GB hard drive; Wi-Fi; and memory stick, SD, and Compact Flash slots.

The xbox 360 has two configurations. It comes in a $299 core version and a $399 version that comes with a 20GB hard drive.

The Nintendo Wii is the cheapest of the bunch with just one configuration that costs $250.

Processing power

The Playstation 3 comes with its Cell processor. Its a PowerPC based core that runs at 3.2 GHz that also have seven DSPs that run at 3.2 GHz. This configuration can do about 2 Teraflops.

The xbox 360 has a custom IBM PowerPC processor. This processor also runs at 3.2 GHz. However, xbox went with a true 3 core processor compared to the one general processor of the Cell and seven additional DSPs. This configuration can do about 1 Teraflop.

The Nintendo Wii includes its Broadway processor, a PowerPC based processor running at 729 MHz.

Disc media

Part of the reason the ps3 is so much more expensive than the Xbox 360 is because the Sony decided to include a Blu-ray drive on the system. The drive can play both Blu-ray movies and regular DVDs. The Xbox 360 comes with a DVD player and an HD-DVD add-on is planned. The Nintendo Wii uses a dvd drive; however, the system will not work for playback of movies, just Nintendo games.

Backwards Compatibility

The Playstation 3 is just like the ps2 was. Youll be able to play both ps2 and PSone games on the ps3. Nintendo is taking things a bit further. Their system will be compatible with the Gamecube games and also the Gamecube controllers since the two systems use very different controllers. Not only that, but the Wii will also have the ability to download games from the original Nintendo (NES), Super Nintendo (SNES), and the Nintendo 64.

Sweet Features

If you want high definition gaming, then the ps3 is the way to go. It comes with a Blu-ray drive built in and can output in 1080p. Although the ps3 controller may look familiar, its had some updates. The controller is now motion sensing so in some games youll be able to move your character or fly a plane just by moving the controller.

The xbox 360 was built to work with Windows XP media center. If you have a computer that already has media center on it, youll be able to view pictures, videos, and even recorded TV by using your xbox. You wont need to put your PC in your living room to take advantage of having a media Center PC.

The Nintendo Wii decided to completely change the way gaming controllers are built. In the past, one controller was always held with both hands. The Wiis controller looks more like a TV remote control than a game controller. It has a built in motion sensor so, for example, to swing a sword, you simply move you hand just like you were really swinging a sword.

Hopefully this review has helped you compare the three next generation gaming systems. Each has its pluses and minuses, and feature that are unique to it. Ultimately, your decision will likely come down to which system has the games that most appeal to you. And that is a decision that only you can make when deciding on a system to buy.
