  • The NBA Needs To Change It's Playoff Format...Now  By : Adam McFarland
    One great thing about the NBA and commissioner David Stern is that they fix mistakes with their game. Case in point – in 2003 the NBA switched the first round of the playoffs from a best-of-five game series to a best-of-seven to help ensure that the better team advances.

  • Can Well-Maintained Greens Lower Your Scores?  By : Jack Moorehouse
    I don’t often mention green maintenance in my golf lessons. Nor do I often discuss it in my golf tips. That’s because golfers want to talk about hitting the ball instead. But the care and feeding of a club’s greens—how they are mowed, watered, fertilized— can have a major impact on a player’s golf handicap, especially if he or she plays the same course a lot.

The better to see the scuba divers sitting on the ocean floor, waving at you. Then making...
