Waiting for Miss Italy, the live show and.. Paris Hilton

At the eve of the live show on tv channel Rai Uno there are all the elements for an explosive edition of the finals of Miss Italy ‘09: a new tv format that will see the girls facing with a talent show, an anchor woman that wants to leave her mark and Paris Hilton, guest star of the first night and rumored subject of the international gossip.

With Milly Carlucci then, three nights instead of four, from the 12th to the 14th of September. The 60 finalists will not be identified with a number this year and we can also say goodbye to the anonymous fashion shows of the participants. In fact, they will have to perform in front of a jury of experts composed by such stars as Rita Rusic and Ricky Tognazzi. These auditions are crucial because after the first night 40 girls will remain in the competition and only 20 will contend for the crown of Miriam Leone.

Rumours and some controversy could not lack: the renunciation for “personal reasons” by miss Trentino Alto Adige Claudia Scicolone and the arrival of Paris Hilton, who, according to the current rumours, could take part in a famous Italian reality show.
But how are they, the Misses, getting ready for the grand final? It does not matter the group they belong to, if Romantic, Trendy, Vamp or Sporty, for all of them, tension is at its climax.

At the Grand Hotel Terme Astro of Tabiano, the four star resort that gives hospitality to the Misses, the expectation mood fills the air. The rehearsals, the photo sessions follow one after the other at a cracking pace. Make up artists and haistylists are working non-stop to make the queens even more beautiful. Journalists and cameramen are looking for some scoop. But the hotel and wellness center is set among the hills of Tabiano and a wide oak tree and chestnut park guarantees quietness and calm, as well as the chance to play sports, trekking an take long walks.

Beyond the 115 rooms, the hotel is provided with a panoramic swimming pool and the guests can take advantage of the services and sports facilities of the Terme Village circuit, among which there is the Golf and Country Club of Salsomaggiore, where the Vamp Group has been involved in the shooting of a video clip for Rai Italian television.

Dulcis in fundo, the brand new Beauty Farm Alhambta with more than 800 square metres of hammam. From an ancient tradition the “vapour bath” becomes here a modern ritual of wellness. Passing through rooms with different temperatures, the skin expels toxins and is deeply purified, while tensions and stress loosen up. Wrapped in perfumed vapours, sweet melodies and soft lights body and mind find a new balance.

To relax, to regain the right shape, to tone up or simply to experience something new: the wellness center offers beauty treatments and massages which fulfill different requirements: from the holistic disciplines to the latest trends of wellness. Feeling like a Miss can be easy, thanks to the exclusive wellness packages which use the beneficial properties of seaweeds, camphor crystals, essential oils and also honey and chocolate.

Balance and Your Golf Game

Golf professionals all have different opinions on improving your golf game, but most agree on one thing. Unless you keep your balance during the entire swing, you simply cannot have a good stroke. Keeping your balance should be easy right? If you are so tense that you’re crushing your club, tensing your entire body and trying to hit the ball to hard, it’s nearly impossible.

As a beginner playing golf, you’re told quite often to not hit the ball to hard. Staying focused and hitting the ball with the center of the club will give you a longer shot that a swing that doesn’t hit at the club’s center, no matter how hard. Establishing your balance frees you to hit the ball correctly.

Keeping your head still will allow you focus on the ball. With your eyes on the ball, this creates a foundation for keeping you balanced. It is imperative that you keep your head perfectly still and ensure it doesn’t move during your swing. Movements or distractions that disrupt your balance mean you lose focus on the ball.

Keeping your body relaxed is the key. Relaxing your muscles and body will prevent your head from moving during the swing.

Use a mirror to watch yourself. This allows you to quickly realize that you need to relax in order to keep your head still while you swing. Since your build and movements are not the same as mine, you’ll have to work out some of the details on your own. Work the most on keeping your head in the same position from start to finish through your swing. Doing this will let you focus on the ball and you will turn your hands at the right time.

If you can master keeping your head completely still, you’ll see several problems disappear altogether. Eventually, you will grip your club correctly every time, keeping your balance and keeping your head still, without even thinking.

A correctly formed follow through will also mean that you can keep your balance.

Concentrating on your balance, and keeping your head still will prevent you from swinging to hard or pulling your club away. The amount of strength you put into your swing will be just right, and you’ll stay relaxed and finish successfully with a smooth swing.

Enjoying a great game of golf requires keeping your balance. This isn’t a quick fix, it’ll take time but you should start seeing improvement quickly, but be patient. Focus on maintaining your balance, and your head in one position, and in almost no time at all you will be enjoying such an improvement your friends will be asking for your secrets.

Hugh Grant’s Life: Movie And Golf

It is a quintessentially British trait to be self-deprecating, and the actor Hugh Grant has made a career out of it. From his portrayal of the hapless Charles in “Four Weddings and a Funeral” to the simple bookshop owner in “Notting Hill,” he’s earned global acclaim for being the loveable, but dithering, fool who seems destined to take the most tortuous route in the quest for true love and happiness.

It seems that often his personal life has imitated his art. At 46 years old, he remains a bachelor; frequently the subject of celebrity gossip columns, but ultimately single. However, there is one true love in his life, and he’s about to apologize for it.

“I’m a proper sad golfer,” he told me recently in Scotland, and he makes the day he was wooed by the game sound like a personal disaster, “Your life is gone. So too your personality, and your interest in life. Nothing but golf interests me now.”

He clearly feels that admitting to being a golfer is something to be ashamed of, and something he never thought he’d admit to. “I played for a year or two in my 20s and then one day I thought, ‘I hate this, this is miserable,’ and I threw my clubs away.” He didn’t play again for 12 years, whereupon one good shot got him hooked.

Now, having worked hard enough to achieve a handicap of seven, it’s an obsession he can deny no longer. “If there’s a new gadget for sale, I’ll buy it. I’ve never not bought anything that’s been offered, and there’s now a whole room in my house dedicated to golf equipment. You can’t get in there for clubs and impact bags.” Has any of it helped? “None whatsoever,” he scoffs, “A lot of it has done me a lot of damage. I’m in a real mess. I feel like running away.”

He doesn’t appear overly stressed, calmly sipping a mug of tea as we chat in front of the clubhouse at Kingsbarns, but if Grant is feeling any apprehension, it’s because the next day he’s due to tee off in the Dunhill Links pro-am championship.

Some of the game’s top stars — including practically all of Europe’s successful Ryder Cup team — will play alongside the best amateurs from the respective worlds of business and show-business. And as you’d expect from a top PGA tour event, the drama will be played out in front of thousands of fans and dozens of live television cameras.

But nothing he has ever learned as an actor will be of any assistance on the first tee of The Old Course at St. Andrews. “In my world, you can be relaxed by take 5. But here there’s only one take. It’s just completely terrifying.”

Every golfer can relate to his phobia. In most other walks of life, one can adopt a confident swagger — even with insufficient talent to justify such an air. We all know that positions of seniority are not always merited. Not in golf though, it’s a profession where any pretenders are cruelly exposed.

In the wrong sort of company, a sliced, hooked or — even worse — an air shot can be humiliating; and often the pressure of the situation can make such catastrophes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Colin Montgomerie — one of Grant’s former partners at the Dunhill Links Championship — has seen it all first hand.

“The first fairway at St. Andrews is the widest in golf and so everybody’s expected to hit it. That includes every amateur, off any handicap, and that’s difficult. I see them shaking on the first tee.”

Still, the chance to play with the best golfers on three of the world’s top links courses isn’t one that any amateur would pass up in his right mind. And it’s virtually the only profession — certainly the only sporting endeavor — where an amateur can walk in the same shoes as the professionals.

“Golf is the only sport where you could do this”, says the NFL legend Marcus Allen. “If you tried this in football, someone would get hurt.”

With so many egos involved, the only thing likely to be wounded at this event is a bit of pride. According to the Eagles guitarist Don Felder, “it’s easy to play guitar, anybody can learn a few chords. But to play a good round of golf is really difficult. I can play music to 50,000 people, but this is frightening.”

Also playing in Scotland were the actors Michael Douglas, Bill Murray and Grant’s good friend Kyle McLachlan. Their incredible success allows them to indulge their golfing fantasies on beautiful courses all over the world, and Grant is no exception.

He belongs to some of the world’s most exclusive golfing establishments, including the Queenswood Golf club in Surrey. With joining fees reputedly approaching the three hundred thousand dollar mark, it’s by far Britain’s most expensive club.

It would be a cliché to say it, but to most of us this is another world — in more ways than one.

Take, for example, the golf handicap. It’s a status symbol for amateurs — the lower the score, the better the player — but in the make-believe world of Hollywood, Grant reckons that sometimes they are a works of pure of fiction. “I once played with Dennis Quaid, who’s very good. He plays off 1. Although it’s what they call a Hollywood 1. It actually translates to about 12 here!”

Men like these need big bank accounts to fund their recreational time, but I got the sense that Grant’s work now actually gets in the way of his golf.

He blames the “collapse” of his game on the decision to make a film earlier in the year. “I try to work as little as possible these days. When I’m filming I hardly play at all and then when I come back my swing is in disarray. I’ll become frantic to try and repair it.”

At times, it’s hard to tell when Grant is joking, but his description of himself as a golfer is quite intriguing. “I’m extremely unpleasant,” he says of his on-course disposition, “I’m the worst. I like it very competitive, I like a lot of money at stake, and I don’t like any chit-chat or jokes. I hate all that. I just want serious brutal golf and if it goes badly, I get very nasty.”

“Nothing very interesting like that has ever come up,” he mused, “but it would be nice to get paid to get a better swing!”

Ah, the pursuit of perfection! And Grant is undoubtedly hooked. Counselors will tell you that in order to succeed, a relationship needs a lifetime of work. So I reckon that, regardless of what happens with Hugh’s birdies off the course, this particular love affair has a very bright future indeed.

In recent times, Grant has confessed that he is weary of the film industry; describing it as “just a miserable experience, so long and so boring.” The golf course now provides his excitement.

The Pros and Cons of Electric Golf Carts

Pro 1: Running Price
While they are more expensive to purchase, running an electric golf cart once you buy it is much cheaper than a gas powered one.

Con 1: Buying Price
Electric Golf carts are more expensive. While they’re great for the environment and always a great investment, people looking for a more affordable deal often purchase a gas cart simply because it’s what they can afford. However, a good thing about the newer electric carts is they come in many more shapes, colors and styles than the older gas powered ones do.

Pro 2: Environmentally Friendly
Buying an electric golf cart is a great way to decrease your carbon footprint. You can use it on the golf course, in your neighborhood, or just down the street to run to the store and never use a drop of gas.

Con 2: Time Consuming
The biggest con of an electric golf cart is the long and annoying re-charge process. Charging it overnight is easy enough, but if you use a lot of your power in a morning outing and want to go out again that afternoon then you will have to wait until you have enough power.

Pro 3: Quiet
The engines on electric golf carts are much quieter and softer than that of a gas powered one. They also drive much more smoothly, and repairs tend to be much cleaner to do than gas powered. The parts are probably newer and better mad, however, the parts are also often more pricey.

Con 3: Terrain
When going downhill, a gas powered golf cart fares much better than n electric one. This happens with a lot of electric vehicles because they lack the same compression that a gas vehicle does. The same goes for any rough terrain; while an electric cart will be a smoother ride, it may be a slower one as well.
