Side Note: Fishing tips for the not-so-great

Holidays are more than just about getting away from it all and seeing distant lands; they are more than just about one individual seeking peace and quiet. Holidays, because of the busy modern lifestyles we lead, have become uninterrupted family time. The getaways are a time to catch-up as a family and learn once more what makes each family member tick. That is the mindset that Sudwala Lodge subscribes to; the lodge has facilities that are geared to meet the needs of every family member. The Sudwala Fun Card ensures that children have unlimited access to games and all sorts of fun at the resort. The card grants them access to all these for the duration of the vacation; crazy golf, table tennis, Nintendo Wii and Xbox are all part of the fun provided by the Fun Card.

Hiking: Nine essential systems:
|
|---|
If you are going to be challenging your family members to a game of mini-golf, we have compiled a few helpful tips. Just 6 tips will do for now:
 |
Ask yourself: Are you ready to deal with the repercussions of loss? Do understand that if you lose that will go on your record and will remain there for a very, very, very long time. If you are comfortable with that then proceed to the next point. |
|---|
 |
Make sure you have the correct weapon Yes, we said weapon. You have to realise that this game is bigger than you, take it seriously. Remember who you are playing against. The top of the putter (that stick you use to hit that round white ball) must be waist high, make sure that your grip is firm and rightly positioned. |
|
|---|---|---|
 |
Survey the battlefield thoroughly Make sure that you know the field. Check slopes and dips. See the ball gliding on the field and anticipate possible threats. Remember that you don’t have to hit a hole-in-one, so plan the dunk in two shots not one. Strategize mentally and see the hole before the game begins. |
|
 |
You are the master The ball is your subject. It will go anywhere you direct it. If you can see it, you can do it – Ok, maybe! But the secret is in choosing a target and then aiming for it. You have to see it in your mind first. |
|
 |
It is all in the knees (and the toes, and the back, and the arms...) Your feet and eyes work as a team. The position of your foot must align with the mental line you drew. If your feet are not aligned, your chances of not making the shot are greatly heightened. Always remember what is at stake here. You are representing! Make sure you win! |
|
 |
Precision, not power! This is not a game of power but of precision. Too much power on the strokes can cause you to miss easy shots; the goal is to sink the ball. Practice before the game if you can, if you can’t then learn as you go. If you have followed the preceding steps, it won’t be too hard to guide the ball into the hole. |
|
 |
And a bonus tip If it looks like things are not going your way, come up with an excuse as to why you didn’t win, before the game ends! |
