Bass Fishing Boat
August 29th, 2007 at 11:34 am by FreshAire in Salt Water FishingIf you are looking for a nice bass fishing boat, how about the great new unique folding Foldcat with a unique folding frame that only takes a staggering five minutes to get assembled.
It has a full floor so you have a lot more space than an ordinary pontoon fishing boat, plus it acts as a safety net to catch whatever you drop. In addition, you will have the space you need with the boat that will allow you to carry a lot more tackle, and supplies.
Your fishing boat can boast the two pontoons that are wide apart to make her super buoyant, and the 4ft 6 beam gives you great stability compared to the hard hull.
The bass boat should be a really lightweight boat, with very little drag. It motors very well with its electric outboard, with a 3hp gas engine, she goes flying at 8 knots, fast enough to beat the winds and make great headway.
If you fancy a bit of luxury from your bass fishing boat you need look no further than a boat with her own swivel seats, which have plenty of back support, with lovely soft cushions that are generous in size. Giving you the feel of true luxury, on every fishing trip.
Up to 4 Rod Holders these top-quality rod holders mount into pre-drilled holes on two benches. Each rod holder accepts all rods, lock-in ring holds rod safe and secure, rotates 360°. Then when you have had enough fishing and its time to put your great boat away, you might find that she comes with 2 durable nylon carry bags, and you get a hull bag as well. Once packed it fits neatly in your car trunk.

Annika Sorenstam – The Swedish Sensation
August 6th, 2007 at 10:57 am by FreshAire in Trips / Tips / TechniquesAnnika Sorenstam is the Swedish sensation, exploding on to the golf scene with her energetic and expressive approach to the game of golf and sparking the awareness of adolescent girls the world over. With making a name for herself, she has resolutely planted golf in the realm of sports for women and created a standard for women in golf for years to come.
Many people are surprised to learn that Annika did not grow up playing golf. She did not discover the sport until she turned twelve. As a youngster, Annika wanted to be a professional tennis player, and avidly pursued both tennis and badminton. At the age of sixteen, Annika realized that she would never become a pro tennis player, and traded in her tennis racket for her golf clubs. She had begun taking lessons at fourteen, and decided to pursue golf as her pro sport. She became so obsessed with golf that she would even play in the snow using a bright orange ball! Her goal was to one day win the prestigious U.S. Open.
Annika arrived in the US on a golfing scholarship at the University of Arizona at the age of nineteen. During her first two years of college she won seven collegiate titles. The summer after her sophomore year, Annika was invited to the US Open. While she did not play well, the invitation gave her the realization that she was ready to go pro.
Annika started her pro career in Europe in 1993. She did quite well in this less competitive market, and was named Rookie of the Year her first year as a pro golfer. During this year she also did several tournaments with the LPGA in the US. While she did not win any of these, she did play extremely well, and started to get noticed. She gradually began inching closer and closer to the top. At the age of 24, Annika realized her girlhood dream and won the US Open at the Broadmoor Golf Club near Pikes Peak in Colorado.
Annika Sorenstam, on a high from her Rookie of the Year nod, became an on the spot superstar and started getting offers from around the world for her likeness and for her style. She became an icon and took some time off of golf to take a break. After this, she re-entered the European tour and continued playing her game. The US was her area of supremacy, though, and she continued her extraordinary roll on American soil in every successive US tour she would enter.
After her early success, Annika began to struggle when playing in the majors, both in Europe and in the US. In 2000, Annika began a strict training and exercise regimen, and by the end of 2001 was back at winning tournaments again. She again made headlines in 2003 when she announced her intention to accept an invitation to play in the PGA Colonial golf tournament, a traditionally all-male field. There was much controversy surrounding her entrance into the tournament, causing Annika’s name to reach headlines around the world. She did not qualify for the cut, yet still made a name for herself by playing against some of the world’s top male golfers.
Annika Sorenstam is the first international women’s golfer ever entered into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Entered to the Hall in 2003, Annika brought her magic to the game of golf and continues to spread her influence throughout its hallowed history. Continuing to stir the world, Annika will host a variety of LPGA events around the world and will even redesign a course in Mt. Pleasant. All of this adds up to making Annika Sorenstam a person to watch in the game of golf and an enigmatic person in all walks of life. She is certainly an icon in women’s sport and, of course, in sports in general.
