Spring has sprung, the sun is out and it's time to get on your bike.

This month's newsletter is dedicated to cycling.

Tip of the Month

Which sunglasses are best for cycling?

For safety reasons the lenses in cycling sunglasses should be unbreakable, therefore glass lenses are out of question.

Instead they should have plastic lenses. Nowadays plastic lenses are very tough and protect your eyes from all sorts of hazards such as

• Little stones
• Bugs
• Wind
• Rain
• and anything else that's flying around

The second important feature is protection from damaging UV rays.

If you choose a pair of cycling sunglasses with interchangeable lenses you will have the right eye protection whatever the weather, whenever you need it.

For example you would use the darker lenses for sunny and bright conditions, yellow or orange for overcast days and clear lenses for anytime when you need the harzard protection but light is at a premium.

Now when you hear "Interchangeable Lenses" a horrid picture of "clip on lenses" might appear in your mind.

But be assured that's not the case. Our sun glasses with interchangeable lenses are hip and trendy.

The lenses are quickly changed and snap firmly in place.

If you wonder when all the good economic news is going to trickle down to affect you personally, then you should have a look at our EVOLUTION range of interchangeable sports (cycling) sunglasses, budget priced but with all the features. I came accross this new brand last year. They're relatively inexpensive, they break the wind, they provide UV protection, they bend but don't break and they stay on even without the use of ears.

Keep your eyes on the ball with our Golf Sunglasses

Another month has passed and hopefully June will bring brilliant weather conditions for a good round of golf or two.

Changing light conditions can impair your vision and the sun's UV rays can even cause damage to your eyes.

Good quality Sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun's harmful rays and also keep dust and insects out of your eyes.

You can pay an absolute fortune for good glasses which is not necessary. Some inexpensive glasses can be just as good as high priced designer models.

Look out for good UVA and UVB protection.

See our Guide to "Choosing the right sunglasses"

How to plan your Golf Holidays

If you have been working too hard for too long and just need to get away and play some golf, you will want to check out golf holidays package vacations from your travel agent. 

Work out your best options before booking your holidays to avoid disappointment

Golfing packages from Superbreak include guaranteed prime tee times plus 2 nights' B&B accommodation   

Your Break Includes:

• Guaranteed prime tee times
• 1 or 2 nights Dinner, Bed & Breakfast accommodation at the Macdonald or Marriott Hotel and Country Club of your choice†
• 2 rounds of golf+
• Championship courses

These travel arrangements are often referred to as "stay and play" plans because you stay at a certain hotel and receive rights to play at a certain golf course while you are there.  When making these arrangements, make sure there are not special requirements that will make playing inconvenient or impossible for you.  Some of these plans require you to limit your arrival dates and departure dates or have other unacceptable limits so read the fine print.

You can take golf holidays to all sorts of locations depending on your personality and desires.  For instance, you can choose to golf in a course located near or in a major city, taking in museums or theatres when not golfing.  Or you might choose to visit a golf course in an area of rugged natural beauty such as the mountains.  While there, you might take a day to fish instead of golf.  Whatever your needs, you can find golf holidays packages to meet your needs.

Are you going to take your own golf clubs with you when you travel on golf holidays?  You probably would prefer to use them rather than the clubs that can be rented at the course to which you are travelling.  If you choose to take them with you, you will need to think about the arrangements a bit.  For instance, do you have a really high quality golf club bag which will protect those expensive golf clubs.  If not, you'd better get one.  You won't be able to carry your clubs on if you are flying, so you'll need a bag that can take airport luggage handling and still protect your clubs.  So get a good one.

When picking a destination for golf holidays, pick the course you wish to play on first, and then find out about lodging at hotels, resorts, or stay and play package plans.  Make sure the tee times that are set for you when choosing a stay and play package are going to work for you.  People who are staying at a golf course's own resort generally get first serve when choosing tee times.  If it's really important to you to get the tee time you desire, it may be worth it to you to stay at the resort instead of a less expensive hotel.  Either way, you are sure to find refreshment and restoration when taking golf holidays.

Play the best golf of your life in just 2 weeks or your money back!

Add amazing distance to every drive and cut your handicap by up to twelve strokes with the only instruction system proven to help almost any golfer break 80.

Newsletter AUGUST 2010

 This months newsletter is all about Fishing. We have some funny stuff and resources lined up for you.

First of all some serious stuff. Did you know that overexposure to UV rays can cause and illness called photokeratitis? This is extremely painful and is basically a sunburn of the eye. There are other conditions too like cataracts or macular degeneration.

Anglers are often out all day and should really wear sunglasses at all times to protect their eyes from permanent damage.

Polarised glasses are the best choice as they not only protect you from harmful UV rays, reduce the glare from the water but also give you clear vision.

When you're fishing it is also a good idea to use some kind of strap for your glasses to prevent them falling into the water. We can offer you a very clever little device called "Hides" which not only prevents you from losing your glasses but it retains them and you can clean it with it all at the same time.

A Fisherman's (Funny) Nightmare

Now reaching middle-age, reaching minnowpause, a good many folks think I'm mentally eel. My theory though is that I've haddock with life, not unlike Salmon Rushdie or Marlin Brando. Mahi oh mahi. Since I've always marched to a different drummer, you know, or sang like Tuna Turner. I live down on squid roe. and been a shad bit egocentric, people have tried desperately to save my sole. Holy mackerel, if I could count the times. Those bassturds. They just perch up on their high seahorse and talk down to me as if I'm pond scum. So what's it all about, Algae? So you feel I'm shellfish and cruel but read between the line, swivel, and hook.

For awhile I tried corporate America and I played a rather decent upwardly-mobile guppy. I made a great deal of money but always felt crappie. You may grunter at my humor but who are you to judge? Take your fathead elsewhere. I'm not just another John Dory writer, you know.

So soon, I was swimming with the sharks and swam back to shore. Nay, I was no angelfish, that is for sure, but I was sturdy as a rockfish. Like other baby boomer, I was striving to be an upwardly mobile guppy. I am certain a lot of my problems is that I listened to too many rock bands in my youth and don't follow direction well due to my being hard of herring. I do have faith; I'm not one of those agnostic fish-types who ponders if Cod even exists up way up in the heavens.

More than once, in fact lox of times, I would start a project early in the yearling, and never finish it. This only served to bait the public into calling me a sucker(fish) or even worse!! I can stand the heat. Nobody can lure me unless I let them. I know how to take care of myself. I left home at age 15 and was an urchin ever since. The streets are hard for a fighting fish but I made it after all. Many times I was on the bream of success and blew it just like any blowfish would do. One time I even trout for major league football (no kidding) during the USA league. They laughed me off the field treating me in a clownfish manner. I didn't like it at all.

There are plenty of fish in the sea. If one does not want to know me is "that's their net loss". It's my own fish philosophy; well I actually plagiarized it from decarp "I swim therefore I am wet." And to them I simply say "Caviar Emptor", and yes, even Carp Diem (as obvious a fish pun as it may be...but I digress into deeper waters).... But in my own way, the world is my oyster and nobody can take that away from me. I continue to have a porpoise in life and really, isn't that what counts? I could have turned out evil like Jack The Flipper but noo. I became an outstanding citizen nevertheless. They will never make me walk the plankton. Some of my story may be sardinonic but that is the way it goes. It helps me cope through the rough seas. If they think I'm some kind of shrimpleton, they are just being crabby in my humble opinion.

And so the world evolves. And I will think of a new philosophy as soon as I have time to mullet over. But I will. Because I'm the reel thing more real to my mom than Maggie was to ROD Stewart. You can count on that. I may fail a lot but when I throw a strike, no catfish hunter has a thing on me. So when I change no neon tetra light is going to go off. It will be a gradual thing. And I'm not sea lion either. I am truthful; hook line and thinker. This is no moray-eel issue. It's simply another bottom-feeder situation.

Footnote: No aquatic creatures were injured and killed during the writing of this article; at least not on porpoise.
