What Did Ronald Reagan Have to Say About Socialized Medicine? Here it in his own words.

I was young when Reagan was President and, to tell the truth, I didn’t pay much attention to what he had to say back then. In the present, however, I’ve started paying more attention to what Ronald Reagan had to say about socialism and socialized medicine.

Here’s a real commercial from the 1950’s about the dangers of socialized medicine by Ronald Reagan. His message has a lot of relevance for us today.

Proper Golf Attire Shows Respect for the Game

Golf is fun and it’s also a terrific form of exercise. If you play golf, you know that part of golf etiquette is showing up in appropriate golf clothes. Many private golf clubs even require a certain dress code, which includes golf attire. Here are some tips on choosing what to wear to the golf course.

Proper golf clothing includes shorts but they must be especially designed for golf. Don’t wear denim, cut-offs or gym shorts to play and they should be cut just above the knee. Ladies may wear a women’s golf skort to play, as well as short or long pants.

Golf pants and shorts both should have cuffs to fill with dirt and a leather belt should be worn, so you need belt loops on golf attire.

Be sure to wear matching colors when playing golf, a pair of classical neutral shorts or pants in tan, black or brown is a good choice. Only on cartoons will you see clashing plaids worn to swing a golf club.

Special golf shoes are made just to play golf. No tennis shoes or sandals should be worn, and most golf clubs require soft spikes, not metal spikes, which tear up the golf course. You should always bring street shoes to change into once you are finished playing.

Be sure to match your socks to your golf pants or shorts too. Wear lightly colored socks if you choose golf shorts and if you wear long pants, the socks should match your golf pants.

Golf shirts, including ladies golf shirts, should have a collar.

Hats are appropriate on the golf course. Either baseball style or a straw golf hat can be worn. Hats are a good idea. They help keep the sun off your face, and may improve your vision. Either baseball style or straw golf hats are appropriate.

If the weather is cold, you can wear golf sweater, or men’s or ladies golf jackets.

Most important of all, proper golf attire shows respect for the game.

• Is there a monthly minimum? Does the company charge you  a monthly fee if you don’t have a certain number of orders?
• Do they charge an annual fee?
• Do they offer a compatible Internet gateway?
• Do they offer after hours support?

If your business is mobile or requires you to process credit card remotely. then you’ll also want to consider wireless credit card processing. If you’re just starting out, be sure and ask the same questions as above so you know up front there are no hidden fees and they offer the support you need.
