Tiger Woods To Return For 2011 Australian Masters

Tiger Woods To Return For 2011 Australian Masters - U.S. golfer Tiger Woods said on Monday he is eager to return to Australia for the 2011 Australian Masters.

At the final round of Australian Masters on Sunday, former World No.1 Woods started at 10 strokes off the lead, managed to make two eagles over the final four holes and shot 65 to match his best score of the year at Victoria Golf Club in Melbourne.

He secured a fourth-place finish at seven-under-par 277, which left him three shots behind winner Stuart Appleby of Australia.

"I'd love to come back for it and play. It's not only a top-notch tournament but it would also be great prep (for the President's Cup) for all the American players coming out as well," Woods told Australia Associated Press on Sunday night.

"Playing this type of course, getting used to the bounce, all that."

According to Bloomberg, the fourth place finish did not deter fans who followed Woods at the Victoria Golf Club in their thousand. Bloomberg reported that Woods was still the big attraction to the media around the world.

Woods's appearance fee was about three million U.S. dollars, half of which was paid for by the local state government of Victoria.

2009 Australian Masters set a new benchmark for Australian golf with record crowds and television audiences and delivered in excess of 34 million U.S. dollars to the Victorian economy.

"He's still worth every cent of investment," Bob Tuohy, a former professional player who set up Adelaide-based golf management company Tuohy Associates told Blooberg on Monday.

"You take him out and the event just wouldn't have the same appeal. Obviously the guy has had some tough times lately but he's still a very marketable asset."

Best Indoor Exercise

Best Indoor Exercise - There are several indoor exercises you can do to keep in shape. But which are the best? They can be split in to two categories. The first is body weight exercises, meaning you use your own body weight to provide resistance. The second is using some sort of equipment. There are pros and cons to both. The biggest advantage to doing body weight exercises is they can be done anywhere. Whether you're on holiday, travelling for work, or if you just want a quick exercises to do. There are quite a few body weight exercises that can be done. If you wish to work out your abdominal muscles, sit ups or crunches are a good one.

There's the traditional treadmill and exercise bikes which can be used indoors. Resistance bands and free-weights are also good ones for indoo...

Kinect Review

Kinect Review - First presented to the world as Project Natal at E3 2009, Microsoft's Kinect sensor peripheral has since been positioned by the software (and hardware) giant as the next phase of Xbox 360's evolution as a platform. A combination of hardware and software, it's been billed as a means for users to interact with their consoles and play games without using a physical controller, using natural gestures, voice commands and face recognition. I've had a final retail Kinect unit at home for a little over a week now, and have had ample time to put the shiny new gadget through its paces. Is it as magical as expected? Will it transform gaming? Or, more importantly, does it even work? Read on past the break for my in-depth review of this ambitious apparatus. Kinect is a single piece of hardware, yet it incorporates several distinct technologies. There's an infrared emitter that floods your play space with invisible light, paired with a CMOS sensor that then l...
