Student Coach Travel for Cheap and Convenient Holidays

Being a student in the UK can be more difficult than people realise. After all, with mounting student debt, all those essays and exams, and the issue of finding a graduate job afterwards, your life can get somewhat emotionally and financially stressful. However, one of the main luxuries afforded to students - a luxury that is rarely available again in life until retirement - is the benefit of long holidays. If you're a student, it's important to take advantage of your holidays and take the opportunity to travel while you can.

It's all too easy to spend those long summer holidays at home, working during the day and catching up with old friends and family at night. However, if you spend the first half of your holiday working solidly and saving up your hard-earned cash, the best reward possible will be to spend the second half of your vacation travelling abroad - and the number of opportunities available to you are endless. For instance, you could take a six week backpacking holiday in India, China or South East Asia to discover some of the world's most exotic and historic locations.

Alternatively, take some time out to travel around the United States. While taking a holiday in the USA is guaranteed to strain your finances more than a holiday in a developing country might, there are various ways you can save money. For example, if you choose to travel by coach during your American summer vacation, you could save a lot of money and limit your carbon footprints by not taking a flight. A coach journey from New York to Chicago might seem like a long and daunting prospect, but you'll also be able to see much more of the country than you'd otherwise be able to.

Even if you feel you can't afford to take such long haul trips, rest assured you'll still be able to travel. Flights and trains to Europe can be expensive, if you don't book early enough, but many coach providers provide services to the continent for much cheaper fares. This way, you'll be able to get to Paris, Berlin or any other top destination in Europe conveniently and easily, while giving yourself the luxury of being able to survey the European countryside while you travel.

Or why not take the coach to one of many top destinations in the UK for a weekend trip that won't break the bank. For instance, if you're at university in Leeds and you're planning to visit a friend in Cornwall, you'll be able to take the coach to the sunny south-east with no problem at all. Or, opt for overnight coach travel from London to Edinburgh on a Friday night; you'll arrive in Scotland's stunning capital bright and early on Saturday morning, ready for a top-class weekend before having to return to your classes on Monday morning. Moreover, many UK coach travel providers offer student or young person's discounts.

So, wherever you're planning to travel to, rest assured that coach travel is likely to be your cheapest option. Just don't forget to put those long holidays to good use while they last!

The Basics of Buying Ladies Golf Clubs - Part 2

Irons

Golfers with slower swings should take the following into consideration when choosing their irons. First of all, you should probably have a 6 or 7 iron as your longest iron club. Only carry a 5 or even a 6 iron if you can hit it confidently and consistently. Most people with slow swings cannot accomplish this. Higher number fairway woods and hybrids will replace the long irons. Another consideration is a wide sole that is rounded to prevent from digging more into the ground and slowing the club face even more. For the same reason dont choose a large iron head design. By all means, do use irons with a deep back cavity and perimeter weighting.

Hybrids

You should use hybrid clubs to replace at least your long irons. The Nancy Lopez ladies golf club line offers sets with hybrids up to the 7 iron in some cases, and even some sets with hybrids completely replacing all the irons except the pitching and sand wedges. Which hybrids you choose will depend on which fairway woods you carry. You will need to determine how far your ball will fly with your highest numbered fairway wood and then choose your lowest numbered hybrid to fly 10-15 yards less than that. The Nancy Lopez site will give you a good idea about what club choices are appropriate for your swing and ability level.

Wedges

Your pitching wedge (PW) should have at least 4 degrees more loft than your 9 iron. The sand wedge (SW) should have at least 56 degrees of loft or even more. There is probably no need for a gap wedge (GW) unless you have a substantial difference in how far you hit the PW compared to the SW. For people with slower swing seeds, this difference is not normally enough to justify another club. A lob wedge (LW) can also be a good addition to your set. For both the SW and the LW, there is no need for golfers with slower swings to have a large bounce angle, since there will not be enough force in the swing to dig too far into the sand or ground in any case.

Conclusion

If you are a serious golfer and can afford it, the best solution for a great set of ladies golf clubs is to find a certified custom fitter and club maker. The standard, off-the-shelf sets of ladies golf clubs sold in most shops will only fit a small percentage of the population. It is essentially a one size fits all proposition. Another good alternative is the Nancy Lopez ladies golf club product lines. You should at least look at their web site to see how they approach fitting your clubs and choosing the right ladies golf clubs to put in your bag. Knowing your swing speeds and what the length of your clubs should be is fundamental in this process. Be aware that most people, both men and women, use clubs that are too long, and they do not use enough loft on the driver.

Your Garden And Lawn - How To Make It A Joyful Experience!

Lawn and garden beauty is the crowning glory of all dedicated American homeowners. Without a tidy garden and well cut lawn a home can look sadly neglected. It doesn't matter how fine the house is, to complete the picture there must be a well tended lawn and garden. Today's garden enthusiast never had it so good, as there is such an enormous amount of lawn and garden products available. The lawn and garden novice will have no trouble in finding all the information he or she needs from any of the nursery centers.

Information is easily found on lawn planting, what type of seeds to sew in what areas, and what type of lawn fertilizer to use and how often. The same goes for establishing the garden, what types of plants grow best in your area, and where they should be planted are easily answered by staff at your local garden center.

Once you have some idea of these basics you are able to move on to the exciting part of designing your own lawn and garden areas. With water shortage problems becoming more common, its very prudent to buy water-wise. There are many plants that not only need minimal watering; they also look stunning in any place around your home. Of course, having a water tank incorporated in your house plumbing, can save you gray water for plants watering.

It is important when planning your lawn and garden to give yourself plenty of time for it to evolve. Looking through magazines featuring lawns and gardens will provide a wealth of information and will help you decide what style you like. Your lawn and gardens can be set out in formal, natural, English cottage, oriental or really whatever you would like to adopt. It even helps to sketch a layout of your proposed lawn and garden, and then you can make changes often as new ideas come to you.

As you plan and design your garden always consider the line. Curved lines shape informal garden beds and lawns, whereas straight lines tend to evoke a sense of order that is more formal for your lawn and garden area. Curving lines throughout the lawn and garden area will take the eye on an intriguing journey that pleases. If successful, even your new patio landscaping will look great.

Once your lawn and garden area is established depending on the type of lawn and garden you have planted, then you hopefully should have relatively easy maintenance. Of course with lawns and gardens there is always the lawns to be cut and the garden to be pruned, fertilized, and watered. These lawn and garden tasks can all be made easy today with irrigation systems installed, and if you are not into cutting the lawn on a Saturday morning, then there are plenty of businesses that offer lawn mowing and garden trimming services.

It is after all such a small price to pay to be able to spend time relaxing on your lawn, admiring your garden, and enjoying the rewards that mother nature has bestowed on you. And dont forget, the benefits of eating your own vegetables that you can grow organically, and harvest when absolutely fresh. Relax, have fun, and smell roses on your own patch!

Lawn and garden grow in Sam Ness' mind insanely. His website Lawn-and-Garden.org is there to help you fall in love with gardening.
