Certified Preowned Golf Clubs

The term certified is starting to appear more and more when searching for used or pre-owned golf clubs. Callaway, taylor Made, nike, cleveland, and MacGregor, are all starting to promote certified golf clubs. A few sites I visited did not describe what separated these clubs from other clubs on their site. They did not answer why are these clubs certified and why should I buy them over other clubs.

Most sites did explain what made the certified clubs better than their regular used or pre-owned clubs. Below is a list on what factors they use to certify a pre-owned club:

6 Point Inspection-

1. Detailed cleaning of the Entire club

2. Cosmetic Evaluation

3. Structural Integrity of the club head

4. Structural Integrity of the shaft

5. grip Replacement

6. New manufacturer head-cover

They also add a 12 month warranty to all their certified preowned golf clubs

Next main question, are they really worth it? It comes down to price and peace of mind. If you can find a pre-owned club you like and the certified club is only 10% to 20% more, in my opinion, it is well worth it. For a $200 pre-owned club you are looking at around $20 more and it comes with a new grip, a new head cover, and the peace of mind that you are getting the club you want in great condition. However, if the certified pre-owned golf club you are looking at is 40%+ more than the non-certified, that is a much tougher decision.

The decision to buy a $200 club for $80 more will be entirely based on peace of mind. Is it worth that amount to you to make sure the club is certified? That answer is based on personal preference and can only be answered by the golfer purchasing the club.

Yoga Can Get Your Diet on the Right Track

The ancient Indian sages were involved in intensive study and research into the nutritional value of food and one of the upshots of this was that they divided food into three categories which became known as Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic.

Tamasic food can be said to be in the lowest category as far as its food value is concerned and it is classed as being without quality prana (life energy).

Rajasic food is stimulating, possesses considerable prana and forms a significant percentage of the average persons diet.

Sattvic food however, is the only category that fulfills the ideal food of the Vedic teachings. It comprises foods that are fresh and natural, and contain a high pranic or life content. Some examples are fresh fruits, nuts and vegetables.

The teachings encourage an adherence, in the main, to the Sattvic foods, balanced by a percentage of the Rajasic class, but an abstinence from foods that are classed as Tamasic; in that have little or no prana.

These ancient principles are still adhered to today and it has been amply demonstrated by contemporary food scientists at the Yogic Umachal hospital in india that the ancient teachings are, in fact, quite valid.

Although modified to some extent, a simple parallel can be seen in the conclusions of western nutritionists who recommend that people:

• avoid lowest grade foods; those that are commercially produced using artificial flavorings, colorings and that contain chemical preservatives and additives
• eat limited quantities of rich, highly spiced, highly processed and cooked food, as well as butter, cheese, eggs, chocolate, confectionery and other foods containing high levels of processed cane and beet sugar, and
• ensure that a high percentage of the diet should consist of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts and grains

The important difference is that modern diets still include great quantities of meats of all kinds. These are totally excluded in the Yoga diet for several reasons.

1. The traditional Yogic rule of nutrition excludes them as being devoid of life energy or pranathey are in fact classed as dead foods
2. Meats in quantity cause acidity and leave deposits of toxins in the blood that can cause arthritis and other diseases, depending upon the health of the animal whose flesh was consumed, and
3. Yoga adherents believe firmly that no one who loves animals would wish to kill them and eat them or even to foster their exploitation for human consumption

It is the over-riding altruistic reverence for all life that influences a tradition that precludes killing animals for food. The Yogis diet is therefore vegetarian.

This as well as other Yoga teachings and disciplines are incorporated into personal Sadhana according to the individuals choice and understanding of health and spiritual matters.
