Well, there you are at the show. You are wearing the
corporate golf shirt with logo. Hopefully you have the right
size so the sleeves don’t droop over your elbows and the tail
doesn’t hit your knees. It is clean and you pressed it before
you hit the show floor. You didn’t dribble salad dressing,
chocolate or hot dog stuff down your front. Hooray - you are
a neat representative for your company.

But what about the rest of you? Does it matter if your event is
super casual or super professional? Probably not. Here are
7 Tips to keep you Looking Good -

1. Press the pants or skirt. Make sure the complete
ensemble is complete.

2. Wear comfortable shoes that are appropriate to your
outfit.

3. No toe-cleavage. Sandals or flip-flops - no matter how
expensive or fashionable - belong at the pool or beach, not
on a show floor.

4. Casual clothes do not hide droopy shoulders, an
expanded waistline or poor posture. Look at yourself in a
full-length mirror and make corrections. The first is to stand
up straight.

5. Clean out your pockets. Take only the minimum cards,
change, identification. Otherwise you may have unsightly
bulges in your nether region.

6. Personal grooming is very important. You will not have
time to primp and puff on the show floor. Remember how
dusty the hall is and how tired you will be by the end of the
day. Before the show, get a good haircut. Manicure for both
men and women - yeah, guys, what are you doing all day? -
Shaking Hands.

7. You are on stage all the time. People will look at you front,
back and all around. Be aware that your good side may not
be what they are looking at.

These are simple, common sense tips to keep top-of-mind
when attending a trade show.

Although for many people they are not the main consideration when cross training, it is still important to make sure that you have good cross training clothes. If you choose the right workout clothes then they can bring real benefits in enabling you to train comfortably and to help ensure that you stay comfortable and are able to maintain a steady body heat.

The correct workout gear is also beneficial because it can help to wick away any buildups of perspiration that may form which can cool on your skin and lead to chilling when you stop for a break. It is also important to make sure that your cross trainer clothes allow unrestricted movement so that you are not impeded in any way while you are exercising.

When training outdoors it’s essential to use a layering system to keep you warm and dry when the weather is bad and to enable your body to naturally repel moisture away from your skin. The base layer of a three-part layering system should be the thinnest one, which is made for wicking moisture away to the upper layers so that it can be disbursed to the air. This is often made of a light man-made fiber such as polypropylene or a natural fiber such as Marino wool, which will first attract and then push perspiration towards the outer layers.

The second layer is for insulation to keep you warm and is essential for any training that is undertaken outside, especially in cold conditions or where there is no ready access to a warm environment after you have finished working out. The third layer should be made of waterproof and windproof material that is also light and highly breathable so that it will keep you warm and dry but also allow moisture to pass through.

Probably the most important part of your cross training clothes are your shoes. It’s very important to get this aspect of your clothing right so you can exercise comfortably and not incur any unnecessary injuries to your feet, shin or thighs. Probably the best types of shoes to choose are made of split leather with a breathable upper mesh and a rubber toe cap. Make sure your exercise footwear also have a padded tongue to avoid chafing and a mesh lining with a foam foot bed. It is also important that they have a good tread so that you can get a good grip on uneven ground.

Choosing the right cross training clothes is not so much about fashion as about practicality and the need to function efficiently and keep yourself warm, dry and free from perspiration. A short time spent choosing the right clothes and even more importantly the right shoes, will repay the effort by making sure that you can get the best out of your equipment and your exercise.

There are many rules to the game of golf that are not enforced by penalties. These rules are that of etiquette and respect for other golfers. They are mainly in place for safety and fairness. The game is only part decision and skill. The key to having the best golf experience begins with the correct etiquette. There is nothing that ruins a game of golf like being embarrassed by not knowing the rules. There are some simple rules to follow that will ensure you look professional the whole time you are on the course.

First off, you always look smart by stretching before the first hole. Every athlete knows that he needs to warm up. The best way to start is to take advantage of the practice green that is usually located near the clubhouse. This green consists of about 6 to 8 holes that you can putt to. If you feel confident enough, you can use your 9 iron or pitching wedge at the practice green to warm up your chipping capability.

When teeing off, it is always best to have the most accomplished player tee off first. This will set the pace for the game so that everyone else can move up the course towards the green. If partners that are sharing a cart hit to opposite sides of the fairway, they can either change partners to adapt to their hitting styles or drop their partner off at their ball and drive to their ball. This saves time so that parties behind don’t have to wait longer. It is also appropriate to take a few clubs with you anytime that you are dropped off. This allows for multiple hits in case you do not get back to the cart. The furthest person from the ball should always be the one to hit and any cart should not move ahead of this player’s ball. In case that your ball should land in heavy grass, take a quick scan to find your ball. The limit to find a ball is 5 minutes and should only be exercised if you let a waiting party play through. Any divots that are made should be replaced by the missing grass and or some sand from the bucket on the cart.

When reaching the green, the pin should remain until all people have also gotten on the green. The furthest from the hole putts until he is not the furthest, and any ball that is potentially in the putter’s path should be replaced with a marker. It is also considered rude to walk in the path of another golfer’s putt because it may alter the path of the putt. You should also be aware of your shadow while another golfer is putting. Make sure that you shadow does not fall in the path of a putt because it is distracting.

Following these simple rules is an easy way to make certain that you do not look foolish on the golf course. Golf is a common form of business meeting that can be disastrous if you do not follow the common rules. Skill is not as important as etiquette in a sport like golf. Practice manners just as you would skill and you will exude the presence of a true professional.
