The only
reason we remain on
earth is to serve God.
Ever wondered why, once you
became a Christian, God has
left you
here? Why he hasnt taken you to heaven?
The reason is clear. The Bible
tells us
we are left here
for a reason.
Knowing where we
are going,
knowing of our divine-set
appointment in heaven, we
are meantime to
do Gods
work down here.
Consider
the story of a Christian
woman named
Rebecca OConnor. When she first saw
the horrific
images of the 2005 Asian tsunami
disaster, she was working the night
shift at New York
Presbyterian hospital, where she is a pediatric
nurse. She said she felt
compelled to
do something.
And
OConnor did
do something. She
flew to Sri Lanka, along with
eight other medical professionals, for a two-week medical-relief trip.
Arriving in Sri Lanka, they
traveled through 150
miles of destruction before arriving in a
downtown area that had been completely
devastated. Setting up
their clinic in a
downtown Sri Lankan mosque, they saw 40 to 100 patients every
shift. Respiratory problems and foot
and leg wounds caused
by stepping on debris when wading
through water
were the most
common ailments treated.
OConnor
and the others
soon discovered they were less than a
mile away
from a local hospital
and another large clinic. She questioned a Sri Lankan friend, Why are people coming to us?
The friend said,
Because at the hospital someone asks, Name? Age? Complaint? and
then gives them a sheet of
paper and tells them to go wait somewhere. You
sit them down, ask them whats wrong and treat them. You listen to them.
Rebecca OConnor
summed it up: It seemed that the most
valuable therapy we were providing had nothing to do with
antibiotics or wound care. By listening to story after heartbreaking story,
admiring pictures of families once happy and healthy, and playing soccer with children
who lost everything, we were
able to say, We care about you, and we
share in
your grief, without
speaking a word.
See how
this principle works?
Like Rebecca
OConnor, are you
willing to
risk everything, to live boldly as one privileged, charged and empowered to represent Jesus
Christ knowing you have a divine-set
appointment in heaven?

We all know
that without
rules and regulations there
is no
game. Every game
has its own rules
and regulations. The rules
of golf {2} {3}
are internationally standardized
and are jointly
governed by the royal
and ancient golf club
of st.andrews,
which was founded
in 1754
and the united states
of golf
association. After
the agreement with R&A, USGA
jurisdiction on the enforcement and interpretation
of the rules
is limited
to the United States and Mexico. Canada
has the separate royal
Canadian golf association, but
generally follows
the lead of the
two larger bodies. The rules of golf continue
to evolve, and every four years, the amended versions of the rule book are published. Any brand of
Golf Equipments can
be used. But
it is better to go
in for Good brands of Golf Equipments
The rules are made keeping in mind fairness. There are few statements stated play the ball
as it lies, play the course as you find it, and if you cant do either, do what is fair. Some rules that are stated:
Every
player is entitled and obliged to play the ball from position where it has come to rest after the stroke, unless
a rule allows
or demands otherwise
A player
must not accept assistance in making
a stroke.
The condition of the ground or other parts of the country
may not be altered to gain
an advantage except some
cases defined in the rules.
A Golf ball may
only be replaced by another during play of a hole if it is destroyed (rule 5-3), lost (rule 27-1), or unplayable (rule 28), or at some other time permitted by the rules. The player may always substitute balls between the play of two books.
The decisions
on the rules of golf are based
on formal case decisions by the R&A and USGA and are
revised updated every other year.
Amateur golfers:
There are strict regulations regarding the amateur status of golfers. Anybody
who played golf for money or who has ever received
payment or compensation for
giving instruction in golf game will not be considered an amateur.
He may not be
allowed to
participate in
competitions limited only to amateur only non-cash prizes won in competition may be
accepted within the limits
established by the rules of amateur status.
Golf course architecture and design:
There are
many kinds of golf courses. Each country has one
kind of golf course. It varies according to the climate, etc.
The different kind of golf
courses: Link courses
Parkland courses
Heath land
Desert courses
Browns courses
Sand courses
Snow courses
Par
3 courses
Executive courses.
1. Links courses:
this is the most traditional type of golf course. It is located in the coastal areas, on sandy
soil, often amid dunes, with few
artificial hazards and few trees if any.
2. Parkland courses: this happens to be in typical inland courses, they often resemble British parks.
3. Heath
land: this means
less manicured and more open area. They often feature gorse and heather and typically less trees.
4. Desert courses: this course has been recently
started in Australia and parts of USA and Middle East. Its a new
invention. 5. Browns courses: akin to
sand courses, but not much involved in
terms of using
layers of tar and gavel below the sandy
surface layer, to give firmness and
support and
ensure a consistent bounce/roll.
6. Sand courses: instead of
heavily irrigated green, the players play on sand unlike most golf players. Holes are less involved than browns courses. And are only for the casual golfer.
7. Snow courses: can be played in arctic or sub arctic regions during
winter. This is a recent invention. Golf is played on snow, typically with an orange colored or any
brightly colored ball.
8. Par 3 courses: this course
consists entirely of holes with par 3. These are considered a good
test of
iron shot precision and short game, as the driver is rarely used.
9. Executive courses: the course is generally smaller than the typical
18 hole course.
