Golf Holiday With The Family

If your whole family are a golf enthusiasts, there is no better family vacation than one that includes a trip to your favorite golf resort. It is possible for a golf holiday to be fun for the entire family. 

As you might know, we have some of the best golf resorts on the world! Check out these resorts and be amazed by the beauty!

However, there are a few specific things that you want might to consider when you are planning your golf holiday. Most importantly, you have to determine just how much of your trip will be spent on golf courses and how much time each family member wants to spend playing.

Fun for all the Family?

It is possible for the entire family to have fun on a vacation that is centered on the sport of golf. Golf is a favorite pastime of many. It is a sport of skill that takes time to master, but it is not very physically exhausting. If you are looking for a sport that you and your family can enjoy together, golf is definitely an option. Playing golf with your family can be a relaxing experience that also brings out your competitive fire. When you are planning a golf holiday, you do have to consider the feelings of the other members of your family. If they don’t all enjoy golf quite as much as you do, it is important that you include some other stops along your trip that are not luxury golf courses.

Location Matters

It is important that you do a bit of research before you plan your golf holiday. This means that you need to look into a variety of golf course locations. Location is what matters most when you are planning your trip for you and your family. For example, the Algarve in Europe is one of the most well-known golf course in the world, but it does not offer something for everyone. You might assume that there will be beaches close by and other fun activities for your family to partake in, but this location offers very little aside from golfing.

This means that you have to choose a golf course in a region that is not remote and offers a lot of other forms of entertainment that are nearby. It is best to choose from the many golf courses in California. Many of these courses are close to beaches and other attractions that can keep members of your family busy while you are golfing your days away. Always focus on location when you begin planning your golf holiday.

Playing on a new golf course

Playing on your home golf course is the easiest! You know the course, where the hazards are, how far you have to hit, which club to use, etc etc. 

But playing on a new golf course is great fun as well! Of course, you'll be uncertain whether you have the right club for the distance and you don't know exactly whether the water line is... But that's part of the fun. 

To make it easier on unfamiliar golf courses and to improve your overall golf game, you can opt to use a special golf gps. These are golf gps watches from Garmin Approach, Bushnell Neo, Golf Buddy or Sky Caddie and they provide you with accurate information of the current golf course. Those devices have over 30,000 golf courses stored and are even used by professionals! 

Getting Everyone Involved

Even if not everyone in your family loves golf as much as you do, it is still important that you get the entire family on the course together at least once during your holiday. If some members of your family are beginners, this might limit the number of courses that you can play at together. Make sure that you read up on the guidelines for the golf course that you choose to visit and find out if you have to provide a handicap certificate before you can even make your way to the first tee. Enjoy!

Cockroaches In My Gym Basement!

First of all, I'd like to wish you all the very good 2015! May this year be a prosperous year for you all!

Second, I hope your year will start better than mine... We've got cockroaches in the basement! That's disgusting! At least, we had! 

In a section of our basement is our home gym. Next to our gym equipment there are some boxes and other things for storage... That's probably how it started...

My home gym is my oasis that I can escape to when I need to blow off some steam and get my heart rate going. Staying in shape is not always easy, but having a home gym conveniently located in the basement makes it easy to focus on my fitness. Until today nothing could keep me from my workouts quite like a basement home gym that has been invaded by cockroaches. Cockroaches are insects that can induce panic in even the strongest men. If you want to take back your home gym, you have to start by getting rid of these cockroaches once and for all. The fact is that if you have seen just one, chances are there are many more in the shadows unseen. You need to deal with your cockroach invasion right away, so that you can get back to what matters. Great way to spend 1st of January!

Here are a few tips that you can follow to help you take back your gym basement:

Clean Up

There is nothing that will help get rid of cockroaches quicker than simply cleaning. The fact is that cockroaches love and gravitate toward dirt, clutter and damp environments. This often makes your basement the prime location for these insects. If you want to get rid of them, you have to start by cleaning. This means that you need to cover your trash and take it outside often and make sure that all food containers are sealed completely. Cockroaches will venture through your home looking for food and will then come back to your basement. Even if there is no food or a mess in your gym basement, you need to clean the rest of your home.

Do Away With Hiding Spots

Cockroaches will often go to your basement gym looking for hiding and clutter. This means that you need to remove all hiding areas. All the clutter in your basement gym that you don’t really need should be done away with. It is also a good idea to plug all holes or cracks in your walls. The less openings that you have in your basement and home results in a lesser chance of cockroaches getting in.

Leave No Water Behind

Not only are cockroaches looking for food, but they also need water and love damp spaces. Chances are your basement gym is not damp, but if it is you need to get rid of the water quickly. Make sure that all areas of your home are dry and you can even take added precaution by pouring bleach down your drains.

Use Boric Acid to Kill Cockroaches

If you need to step up your game to get rid of cockroaches, you can try using boric acid powder. All you have to do is to pour this powder on any surface that you have seen cockroaches and it will be effective in killing them. Sprinkling this powder around your basement gym can do the trick to help you get rid of cockroaches right away.

And then?

After getting rid of all the cockroaches and taking everything out and redoing the whole basement, it's clean again! It took us two full days but our home gym looks great again! No more storage of old stuff and boxes. No more pests (hopefully) and having a great clean area to sport! Can't wait actually!
