Golfers Get Pain Relief

The popularity of magnetic therapy and the introduction of a revolutionary product developed for people that suffer from osteoarthritis, rheumatic arthritis along with chronic back and neck pain was a popular topic of discussion at the Sami Int. Inc . display booth at the Greater New Jersey Golf Show held in February at Somerset, NJ
Sami Int. company representative Michelle Kaleta offered descriptive information, flyer's and brochures about Golfers Pain Relief. She carefully explained that the Golfers Pain Relief product is used externally to treat serious problems such as dull aching pain in the lumbar region of the back, rheumatic pain, extreme cases of arthritis, sports injuries and neck and muscle joint pain.
Michelle noted that this product is so effective as a pain reliever because it contains a special blend of natural powerful herbs with a high concentration of Capsicum, St. John's Wort and Boswellia Serrata.
Michelle Callahan is president and chief executive officer of Sami International Inc. and prior to starting her own company in 1999, spent 17 years launching new products for companies such as Revlon and the Lancaster Group.
The Golfers Pain Relief product was first introduced in 2003. When Michelle started the company in 1999 they began as a manufacturer of hand and nail skin care products that sold to salons and spas.
Having suffered from knee injuries along with neck and back injuries and pain and some arthritis the only way to tell if a product like this works is to try it. We have been using this product since February and find it offering great relief from the injuries I have and there is relief from arthritis pain.
We and many others at the golf show were also attracted to the beautiful display of magnetic therapy bracelets offered by Sami International.
Ms. Kaleta carefully explained that their bracelets contain 3000 Gauss on every link.
Magnetic therapy is today an ancient tool for modern times and the bracelets have proven to be effective in relieving pain from arthritis, tendinitis, headaches, muscle strains, carpel tunnel syndrome as well as in speeding the healing of wounds and injuries.
Michelle Kaleta pointed out that the use of magnets as pain therapy for alternative health purposes and other forms of homeopathy goes back to ancient China.
Magnets are man-made, with either a ceramic or neodymium housing. The latter are considered the best. The magnetic energy can be controlled as to its positive and negative charge and the amount of each.....which is called a Gauss rating. The higher the Gauss, the stronger the magnet. Negative energy is considered the most effective for pain relief.
The magnetic bracelet is popular and while spending a day of golf at your local course you will find many people wearing these bracelets. The king himself, Arnold Palmer wears a magnetic bracelet.

The Golf Tip
By Robert Menges

Preventing the Flying Right Elbow:
The flying right elbow is one of the game's best known negative touchstones.
It occurs in the back swing when the elbow just out behind the player so the right arm forms the letter V or L, depending on the angle from which you view it.
What's wrong with a flying right elbow?
It restricts the width or arc of the back swing, for one thing. It also makes it difficult to get the shaft parallel at the top of the swing with the longer clubs, a restriction that reduces power.
Finally, you don't want the elbow jutting out in the downswing because this also limits power and adds inaccuracy to the mix.
So, you must drop down and in toward your right side. This connection is an extra move that must be made in less than a second of real time.
However, trying to keep the elbow in close is too restrictive. It prevents a free-flowing overall swing motion and narrows the width of the back swing, both of which costs power.
The right elbow can move away from the right side so long as it remains pointed down toward the ground and in a viable effective position. This will generate fluidity in the swing and allow the elbow to easily and readily return to or near the right side in the downswing.
You do want the elbow close to the body in the downswing because it keeps the club moving from the inside.
To put it another way and more meaningful, it prevents the club from going "over the top" and cutting the ball from outside to inside the target line at impact.
Which is to say, with the right elbow in close to your side at impact, you are much less likely to hit a slice.
Indeed, there is a very good chance you will get a nice little draw on the ball.

Ed's Outlook

The economy has forced the famous "Skins Game" to take the year off.
The every-popular November Skins Game will not take place this year and it's all about the economy.
It is being planned to return in 2010.
