INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In golf, the object of the game is to get your ball from the starting point, or “tee,” to the green and into the hole. The hole is marked by a flag, and you want to get your ball in it with as few shots as possible. “Hole” is not only the physical hole, but also refers to the entire area from the tee to the green, where the physical hole is. A standard golf course has 18 holes, or areas with a tee, green, and physical hole marked by a flag. There are smaller courses as well, such as 9-hole courses, which are ideal for beginners. Every golf course is different in terms of how it is structured, and which hole you start and end with. Every hole has a “tee off” area where you start, and a physical hole where you finish. It’s a good idea to carry a course map with you on the course or to go with a group that has at least 1 person who’s familiar with the order of the course. Find a course map at the course’s main office, where you check in and can rent gear. To avoid confusion and having everyone hit the ball at once, you should know when your turn is. Usually the person with the best score from the previous hole tees off first, with the next best score going next, and the worst, or highest score, going last. After the tee off at each hole, the person who is farthest away from the hole hits first, then the person who is next farthest away, and so on until everyone gets the ball to the hole. If your ball lands in an unexpected place, which it will when you’re a beginner, it’s against the rules to pick it up and move it. You have to play it where it is, unless it’s blocked by a man-made obstruction, like a yardage marker or a beer can.  If you’re not sure that something near your ball qualifies as an obstruction, ask a more experienced player. If you hit your ball out of bounds or into water, you will have to take a 1 stroke penalty, drop your ball again where you shot it, and try again. Each hole on a golf course has an ideal number of strokes it should take to get the ball into the physical hole, which is known as the “Par.” Each time you hit the ball counts as a “1” toward your score. Pars range from 3-5, and each hole on a course will be called a “Par 3,” “Par 4,” or “Par 5.”  Your score on each hole has a nickname relating to the par for that hole. For instance, shooting 2 under par, or getting the ball in the hole in 3 shots on a 5-par hole, is called an “Eagle.” Shooting 1 under par is a “Birdie,” and shooting even with the par is just called “Par.” Shooting 1 over par is a “Bogey.” Then 2 over par is a “Double Bogey,” 3 over par is a “Triple Bogey,” and so on. When your group reaches the last hole, the person with the lowest overall score is the winner. You can keep track of how you’re doing throughout the game by comparing your score to the pars for each hole. If you’re consistently shooting on par or below par, you’re doing really well. In the beginning, you will probably shoot over par, especially on more difficult, 5 par holes. This is totally normal. You will improve with the more practice you have. A Par 3 course means that all the holes on the course are Par 3, so the distances between the tee and the hole are shorter than a standard course, which has a mixture of Par 3, 4, and 5 holes. These courses are ideal for beginners. The total par for the course is the number of pars added up from all the holes. This number is typically 72 on a standard golf course, less on a smaller course. A 9 hole, Par 3 course would be a total 18 par course.

SUMMARY: Learn the object of the game. Play the course by the order of holes. Take your turn in your group. Don’t move your ball on the course. Keep score for each hole. Win by having the lowest score at the end. Try a Par 3 course when you’re starting out.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: ” Look for denture adhesive creams, like Fixodent, Polident, or Poligrip, with those labels. They mean the adhesive is long-lasting. If you only plan on using the cream for your fangs, choose the smallest tube, like a  2.5 oz (84 g) one, as you won’t need very much. You can buy denture cream from a pharmacy, drug store, or online retailer. Most tubes cost less than $5. Blot the tissue all over your top teeth and gums to remove any excess moisture. This helps the denture adhesive cream stick to your teeth better. Do this right before you’re ready to apply the fang. You can also use a paper towel or cotton swab instead of a tissue. Hold the tip of the tube at the wide top of the fang and squeeze a tiny amount of cream onto the fang. Keep the cream on the top half of the fang since that’s the part that will be against your tooth.  If you get too much on the fang or some on the pointy tip, wipe off the extra with a cotton swab. Use individual fangs instead of the ones that come in whole sets of teeth. You can buy fangs at a Halloween store or party goods store. Press the fang against your canine tooth so that the pointy tip is facing down and the concave side with the adhesive is covering your tooth. Hold it with your fingers until you can move your hand away and the fang stays in place.  To find your canine tooth, start at the middle of your upper teeth and count over 3 teeth. It’s the 3rd tooth from the center and is usually slightly pointier than the others. Use a timer or the clock app on your phone to keep track of the time if necessary. Repeat the same process on your other canine tooth. Squeeze a dot of denture adhesive cream onto the back of the fang, then hold it in place for 10 to 15 seconds on your tooth. Try to align the 2nd fang so that the pointy tip is as far down as the 1st fang and they’re even. Don't eat with your fangs in. If you do, you could crack the fangs or they could fall off. Instead, peel them off by pulling them forward and set them aside before you eat. Take them off before you sleep, too.  After eating, dab a little more denture cream on the back of each fang and stick them back onto your teeth. If you want the fangs to hold better, brush your teeth and dry them with a tissue before putting the fangs on again.

SUMMARY:
Buy a tube of denture adhesive cream that says “super” or “superior hold. Dry off your upper teeth and gums with a tissue. Squeeze a small dot of cream onto the backside of the fang at the top. Place the fang over your canine tooth and hold it for 10 to 15 seconds. Apply cream to the 2nd fang and press it into place over your tooth. Remove your fangs before eating or sleeping, then reapply them with more cream.
