Problem: Article: Chipping the ball is a more strategic move than a regular golf shot. It is meant to get your ball out of a tricky situation, such as if you're caught in the grass or trying to navigate past a hill. Chipping the golf ball should not be used in instances where a normal shot can easily be employed. This rule doesn't apply if you're trying to learn the shot. If anything, you should practice the basics of chipping on a smooth surface before you move on to its usual application. A ratio refers to the distance you want the ball to fly compared to the distance you want it to roll after. Because chip shots are used to get your ball out of the grass and back on course, you can estimate the distance from the grassed ball to the green, plus the distance you want the ball to go on the green. You can measure the distances by using footsteps. For instance, if your ball is five steps away from the green and the hole is ten steps following that, you will have a 1-to-2 ratio.  A sand wedge is good for a 1-to-1 ratio from the grass to the green. A pitching wedge is good for a 1-to-2 ratio. A 9-iron is a 1-to-3 ratio. With any shot, including chipping, you should hold the golf club firmly. Because chipping the ball successfully requires so much control, make sure your hands are placed properly on the club before you attempt to chip the ball.
Summary: Decide if the situation warrants chipping the ball. Choose a club with the right ratio. Hold your club firmly.

Problem: Article: Talk to the other TED event attendees on a casual basis during time away from the event stage. This will let you get to know how well your actual audience matches with your imagined audience and also provide some familiar faces in the crowd when you go on stage. Although you may have revised the content and presentation of your talk a number of times based on the feedback you've gotten from rehearsing it, once you have a style you're comfortable with, stick with it. Don't make any last-minute changes to your delivery. While you've spent time creating and refining your message, it's not for the sake of the information but about sharing it and your enthusiasm for it with your audience.
Summary: Get to know the people you'll be speaking to before you give your talk. Stick to your planned delivery style. Remember why you're giving a TED talk.

Problem: Article: Wash the foot in warm water and soap and pat it dry before proceeding to step 2. Dirty or moist feet can invite fungi to grow and cause athlete’s foot. You can do this by keeping the toes pointing straight toward the ceiling. The feet have a natural tendency to point downward in a long-sitting position. Keeping the foot in a neutral position helps to prevent excessive stress on the ankle joint. Use pre-wrap tape to cover the skin from the mid foot to 3 inches (7.6 cm) above the ankle. A pre-wrap protects the skin from irritation or abrasion caused by athletic tape.  Starting at the mid-foot, wrap the pre-wrap around the foot, around the ankle and heel and up the leg until you reach a spot three inches above the ankle. Each strip of pre-wrap should overlap the previous strip by half. Don't worry if you miss a patch of skin around the heel as you wrap, this is not likely to cause any problems. Keep the pre-wrap tight, and try to use as little as possible. Take the athletic tape and wrap it around the top edge of the pre-wrap (just under the calf muscle) three times, moving downwards. This forms the anchor and helps to keep the tape in place during movements.  Make sure that each layer of tape covers 50% of the previous layer. This helps to keep the anchor stable. The tape should be snug but not tight. You shouldn't feel any pulling pressure on the leg as you apply the tape. Attach a strip of tape to the anchor on the outer side of the leg. Pull the tape downwards towards the foot and wrap it around the sole of the foot. Attach the other end of the strip to the anchor on the inner side of the leg. This serves as a stirrup.  Do this twice more, to make a total of three stirrups. The stirrups should be side by side, not overlapping each other. The stirrups are necessary as they prevent the ankle from moving outwards, keeping it stable and preventing further injury. Using athletes tape to lock the heels keeps the foot in a neutral position and reduces the risk of aggravating the sprain. Here's how to do it:  Place a strip of tape at the front of the leg, towards the lower part of the shin bone. Pull the tape diagonally downwards toward the inside of the leg and wrap it around the back of the heel. Pass the tape under the sole of your foot (in front of the heel) and pull it back up over the instep until you reach the ankle on the opposite side. Do the same thing again, this time starting on the opposite side of the ankle. This balances the pull of the heel locks and prevents injury from both sides. To close any gaps in the bandage (where the pre-wrap is exposed), start wrapping strips of tape around the foot, starting at the bottom of the pre-wrap, near the toes. Each strip should start and end at the top of the foot (not on the sole, as this could cause blisters).  Once you have finished covering the gaps on the foot, you can continue to wrap the athletic tape around the rest of the ankle and leg, using the same strip-by-strip technique. Make sure the pre-wrap is entirely covered in the athletic tape — any gaps will serve as a weak point and potentially cause the tape to unravel. There should be minimal pulling pressure applied on the tape. The goal is only to cover the gaps, not to compress the foot with tape. Repeat the process described above for making a heel lock, but this time use a stronger tape, such as Leukotape. This reinforces the neutral position of the ankle, even during physical activity, If the bandage is wrapped too tightly it can cut off the blood supply and become uncomfortable.  Check the nails for blood supply. Press on the nails and release. You should be able to see the nails return to pinkish color in less than two seconds. If it takes more than two seconds for the nails to turn pink, the taping is too tight. Numbness or loss of feeling is a sign that there is inadequate blood flow to the foot. A tight tape can compress the blood vessels of the foot and cause numbness. If the taping is too tight, you will need to undo it and wrap the ankle again.
Summary:
Make sure the foot is clean. Keep the injured foot in a neutral position. Apply pre-wrap tape to protect the skin. Apply the anchors to hold the tape in place. Apply the stirrups to stabilize the ankle. Lock the heels to keep the foot in a neutral position. Close the gaps. Apply a second heel lock over the taped foot. Make sure the ankle isn't wrapped too tightly.
