In spite of the heavy taxes
the British placed on tea, it
was the favored drink in colonial
America.
On December 16, 1773,
to protest those high taxes
imposed by England, some
men dressed up like Indians
and dumped a whole shipment
of tea overboard in
Boston Harbor. That protest
is now known as the Boston
Tea Party.
Iced tea was unknown in
early America. That beverage
first became popular in
Dottie Dymples – Coffee, Tea or Milk
1903 at the St. Louis State
Fair where it was so warm
that no one wanted hot tea.
Another innovation came in
1904 when Thomas Sullivan
introduced the tea bag. And
although purists may not approve,
instant tea can now
be found in most grocery
stores.
Tea doesn’t grow in the
USA and most of our tea
comes from Asia.
In the summer time you
might see a big jar of water
with tea bags sitting in the
sun on the porch to make
sun tea. Sun Tea

Coffee
With the high tax on tea,
coffee became a popular alternative.
In 1860 George Huntington
and George Gilman
formed the American Coffee
Corporation, buying coffee
beans directly off the ship
from Brazil, which is the
world's largest producer of
coffee. The price of coffee
went from $2.00 a pound to
25 cents.
In 1876 James Sanborn
and Caleb Chase formed
the Chase and Sanborn Co.,
which ground coffee and put
it into cans.
In 1880 Joel Cheek put
together a blend of coffee
beans that was served at the
Maxwell House in Nashville,
Tennessee. Supposedly
after drinking a cup of this
brew, Theodore Roosevelt
made the statement, “Good
to the Best Drop." Maxwell
House Coffee still uses that
slogan today. Milk

Conditioning

We all know the importance
of proper technique
if you want to be a good
golfer, but there are other
pieces to this that can help
your game and take you to
the big tournament win and
the best golf of your life.
Basic components of mental
and physical conditioning
can improve your golf
game, your fitness level,
mental stamina and reduce
your risk of injury.
The areas to focus on
are core strength for stability,
lower body strength and
flexibility for power and
distance. Simple exercises
and stretches can address
some of these areas, and of
course yoga can enhance
all of these areas, including
mental stamina.
In this article let’s just focus
on core and lower body
strength. The muscles of the
core are the powerhouse
and the foundation of your
golf swing, and lower body
strength assists the core in
this function. Along with
helping you with more endurance
to carry your body
around the course, core and
lower body strength also
helps you with precision
and control of your short
game. Core exercises focus
primarily on the mid section
of the body; therefore it is
referred to as the foundation
of all movement. By
midsection of your body I
am referring to abdominal
muscles, lower back, (the
most common area for golf
injuries) and the hips. Because
there are many other
muscles attached to these
areas, it’s important to incorporate
them in your conditioning.
Ok, let’s get to work. If
you are just starting out with
your conditioning, here are
some guidelines.
Start any conditioning
program with a warm up.
This can be marching in
place for 5 minutes. Incorporating
some lower body
strength exercises like lunges
and or squats is always
a good idea, for this gets
some of the biggest muscles
in your body working
at warming your body and
burning calories. These are
also the supporting muscles
of your core, i.e. “the foundation
of movement.”
Perform several abdominal
exercises. Start slow and
with control, baby steps and
increase repetitions once
you feel comfortable to do
so. You should never feel
pain in your back or neck
when performing abdominal
or core exercises. If you
do feel pain, stop immediately;
you are either doing
too many reps or lacking
proper form.
One of my favorite exercises
for abdominal strength
is the Bicycle Crunch. Lie
on your back, hands behind
your head and criss-cross
elbow to knee as if you are
riding a bike. Start with directing
your feet towards
the sky until you feel comfortable
enough to gradually
lower your feet towards the
floor for more of a challenge.
The One Hundred is one
of the most popular exercises
in Pilates core strengthening.
Lie flat on your back
with your knees bent and
feet flat on the floor, roll
your upper body up until
your shoulder blades are
barely touching the floor,
arms extended to the sides
of your body and pull your
stomach muscles in. Hold
and exhale. For more of a
challenge begin to extend
your legs off the ground and
lengthen. Never let your
lower back lift off the floor.
The one hundred is called
the one hundred because the
goal is to hold your legs in
this position for one hundred
seconds.
Because most men do not
typically like to perform
exercises with their legs elevated,
(it’s tougher for them
due to the positioning of the
hip flexor muscles), I will
give you one standing core
exercise.
Standing Knee Ups:
Stand in an upright position,
shoulders back, stomach
pulled in (“Military
stance”). Bring one knee
into your chest slowly and
in control while exhaling
and sucking your abs in.
Repeat on one side 10-20
times, and then move to the
other side.
It’s very important to note
that after performing any
abdominal exercises, you
must strengthen and stretch
your back to prevent injury
and maintain body balance.
Lie on your stomach; raise
your legs and thighs off the
ground by squeezing the
muscles in your low back
and butt. Gently kick your
feet as if you were swimming.
Keep your spine
straight and head on the
floor. After 10-20 kicks,
push your body off the floor
and sit on your heels, placing
your head back on the floor.
This is the Child Pose and
is a good way to end your
golf conditioning routine.
This whole routine should
take you 10-20 minutes and
should be performed 3-5
times a week.
Good luck to you and
may you have a healthy and
safe golf season with lots of
powerful drives.

There was no way to keep
the milk fresh, so they kept
all the cream to make cheese
and butter. The skim milk
was left for the slaves to
drink. Because there was no
way to keep milk fresh, there
was a lot of sickness called
“Milk Poisoning.” In fact,
Abraham Lincoln's mother
died from milk poisoning in
1853.
In the late 19th century,
Louis Pasteur developed the
process now known as pasteurization
to kill the bacteria
in milk and other beverages.
By 1890 the USA had
pasteurized milk.
