How do I get dark red and purple veins to disappear from my legs without any type of surgery or anything.?

If they are big and kind of stick out a little, they might be varicose veins. Lower extremity veins normally have valves in them to help pump blood from the legs back to the heart. In varicose veins, these valves have stopped working. Varicose veins can be potentially dangerous and can lead to blood clots. I'm pretty sure surgery is the only fix.

Why are their veins entering the heart from both sides?

This is because one side (the left) is for pumping blood from the heart to the lungs, where it receives oxygen. This blood is then pumped to the rest of the body through the other side of the heart (right) where the oxygen nourishes the rest of the body. This blood then returns to the left side of the heart, to be pumped to the lungs to receive more oxygen and so on.

Note that each side of the heart (right and left) also contains two chambers - an atrium and a ventricle (so the heart is made of four chambers in total). Blood entering the heart passes into the atrium, then on to the ventricle, and then on out of the heart.

If you are golfing, you are using a lot of energy in your legs creating a lot of heat. Therefore, your body will open up those "vents" the most.

What do the union of the radial and ulnar veins form?

The deep veins of the forearm are the venæ comitantes of the radial and ulnar veins and constitute respectively the upward continuations of the deep and superficial volar venous arches; they unite in front of the elbow to form the brachial veins. The radial veins are smaller than the ulnar and receive the dorsal metacarpal veins. The ulnar veins receive tributaries from the deep volar venous arches and communicate with the superficial veins at the wrist; near the elbow they receive the volar and dorsal interosseous veins and send a large communicating branch (profunda vein) to the vena mediana cubiti.
