What are facts about golf?

Number 1: You play by the rules, even if no one else is watching. Other competitive sports have officials watching everyone all the time; in golf, you're supposed to watch yourself. I'm not going to claim that I've never used a hand wedge to get out of a bunker, but anytime you're playing for real there's a sense of integrity about the sport (even at my miserable level) that would never tolerate spitballs or crackback blocks. Number 2: It's not how, it's how many. Doesn't matter what your shots look like, it only matter how many you take to get it in the hole. A 300 yard drive counts the same as a six inch putt. Number 3: Respect the course. It's a living thing that the groundskeeper spends a lot of time keeping in shape. Hundreds of people tramp through it every day, and everyone needs to do his part to prevent damage whenever possible or fix any damage done. Fix ball marks on the green. There's almost always a poster in the dressing room to show you how. The course will undoubtedly give you a repair tool if you ask for one, but I find that I can do a better job with less work using the big metal ones that cost a buck or two. Tend divots according to the local instructions: some courses want them replaced, others want them filled in with sand. Don't tear up the trees. Number 4: Swinging hard does not generate distance.
bend your knees

shout fore when a ball is aimed at someone

do not wear your glove whilst putting

i can't be bothered to write the rest sorry

What things did Warren G. Harding do as president?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

President: Warren G. Harding (November 2, 1865 - August 2, 1923)

Term: March 4, 1921 - August 2, 1923

Political Party: Republican

Vice-President: Calvin Coolidge

Major Domestic Policy: As a Republican, Harding was for increasing the protective tariff. Harding also enforced new immigration laws. The Fordney-McCumber tariff was established and became one of the highest tariffs ever. This tariff was even higher then the Payne-Aldrich tariff during Taft's presidency. Instead of helping the economy, the Fordney-McCumber tariff was a cause of the Great Depression. It caused other countries to increase their rates. The country was no in conditions similar to the start of World War I. Wartime controls were removed, the Fordney-McCumber tariff was established and immigration was restricted. Harding realized all of the flaws in the government that needed to be fixed but he passed away before he go the chance to use his power. The Teapot Dome scandal also occurred during Harding's presidency when Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall leased an oil reserve in east Wyoming to Harry F. Sinclair's oil company in 1921. Harding also signed the Budget and Accounting Act, which created the modern federal budget and required the President to give notice to Congress an annual budget of the federal government.

Major Foreign Policy: Harding aimed towards satisfying the isolationist ideas when staying out of the League of Nations and to stay out of foreign affairs and focusing on domestic issues in order to prevent any new war from starting. From 1921 to 1922, the Washington Conference occurred to lessen tensions in the Far East and disarmament movement. The conference created peace but also resulted with the rise of the Japanese naval power.

Court Case:

• Bailey v. Drexel Furniture Co. (1922)-Held that Child Labor Tax Law violated the Constitution because it infringed upon the states right to create and impose child labor codes.

• Stafford v. Wallace (1922)-Upheld the Packers and Stockyards Act because it regulated the meatpacking industry, which was part of the interstate commerce from beef to ranchers to dinner tables.

• Massachusetts v. Mellon (1923)-Stated that this case was a issue for the public.

• Meyer v. Nebraska (1923)-Held that the Nebraska Law was unconstitutional under the Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment because it prohibited the teaching of foreign languages to children in school.

Intellectual and Social Developments:

• The Republicans gained a majority of the political power and became the dominant influence.

• The Prohibition began in 1920 and lasted till 1933.

• The National Government began working with business and formed a Business-government partnership.

• The Economy saw a recession from 1920 to 1921 until the booming prosperity from 1922 to 1929, which was then the start of the Great Depression.

• There was a rise of welfare capitalism

• There was a prominent rise in consumer culture through such things like advertising, radio, magazines and movies, which also promoted the flapper image for Women.

• The Jazz Age, Harlem Renaissance, and the Lost Generation came about as new ideas and intellectual life flourished.

Harding's Legacy: Harding's presidency will always be remembered for the first election in which women voted. His presidency will also be known for holding the first international conference in the United States and first disarmament movement. Some believe that Harding's presidency was the worst of all presidencies because of the fact that he was not a effective communicator or a deep thinker, was always indecisive and instead of working towards helping the issues, he just avoided them. Now, he is given recognition for his progressive ideas on race and civil rights. He also took a huge deficit to a major surplus while cutting income taxes and spending, and also increasing and supporting economic growth and taking us into the "roaring twenties" only to be messed up by the more left-leaning republican Herbert Hoover

Why was Warren G. Harding 1 of the 10 worst president?

Asked by Wiki User

BECAUSE HE WAS STUPID

Wow, what an uneducated comment.

An ok answer would be that he appointed some corrupt friends to cabinet positions who inflicted embarassing scandals on his administration. He was also a womanizer, a quality shared with far more presidents than is well known.

However, the best answer is, was he really so bad? Consider that his adminstration inherited a horrible recession, with unemployment reaching 12% at the start of his administration in 1921, and began one the greatest periods of economic prosperity in US history, with unemployment dropping to under 3% by the time he died in 1923. It was not accident, Harding and the Republican congress cut taxes and government spending in half.

Harding was also a civil rights advocate. He reversed the Wilson era restrictions on African-Americans in Federal jobs and made a speech advocating fair jobs opportunities for blacks in of all places Birmingham Alabama, stating that democracy would always be a sham until they received full equality in education, employment, and political life.

Why is he consistently ranked near the bottom? While the ostensible reason was his scandals, possibly the real reason was the Democratic party's use of his rumored multi-racial ancestry for political reasons, as he may have had some distant black and Native-American forebears. What is certain is that his family fought for the Union in the Civil War and were longtime Ohio abolitionists. That didn't go over well, especially in the Democratic party's core Southern constituency of the time.

Why was president Harding involved in the teapot dome scandal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

By most accounts, Warren G. Harding was not an evil man, but he certainly was weak and surprisingly naive, as well as unable to say "no" to his friends. He surrounded himself with very corrupt people in his administration, and then either looked the other way or remained unaware when they took bribes or were unethical in their business dealings. In the Teapot Dome case, he maintained a hands-off attitude, allowing one of his friends to supervise the oil reserves in Wyoming; his friend made various unscrupulous deals, giving special access to certain corporate executives in exchange for cash gifts. Harding was not directly involved in these deals, but he also did nothing to stop them once he found out. Harding was reportedly deeply disappointed and depressed by what his colleague had done, and it seems to have contributed to the president's poor health and may have also contributed to his untimely death before his term expired.

What economic changes did Warren G. Harding make as a president?

Asked by Wiki User

Harding put the federal government on a budget system. He balanced the budget, cut taxes at all levels, and paid down the National Debt. The result was an economic boom. Coolidge followed the Harding program and accomplished greater budgetary soundness. Harding's policies worked iln the early 1920s, and would work in the 21st century if politiians had the foresight and guts to emplement such economic reforms.

What us president was involved in the teapot dome scandal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Teapot Dome scandal took place during the administration (1921-1923) of US president Warren G. Harding.

Teapot Dome is an oil field on public land in the U.S. state of Wyoming, taking its name from Teapot Rock, an outcrop resembling a teapot south of the field.

His Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall, had secretly leased the Teapot Dome oil reserves in Wyoming to one Harry F Sinclair. For this and other corrupt acts Fall was convicted in 1929 of accepting a bribe, and sentenced to one year in prison and a fine of $100,000.

In 1921, by executive order of President Harding, control of U.S. Navy petroleum reserves at Teapot Dome in Wyoming and at Elk Hills and Buena Vista in California, was transferred from the U.S. Navy Department to the Department of the Interior. The petroleum reserves had been set aside for the Navy by President Taft.

Although Harding was not involved in any of the shady dealings, Albert Fall was his appointee to the position of Secretary of the Interior and thus Harding's reputation suffered a severe and irreparable blow. (He was extremely popular at the time of his death when the scandal was just being exposed.)

The oil fields were restored to the U.S. government through a Supreme Court decision in 1927
