EPL 2014/15 - Game Week 10

What a season this is going to be! Southampton in 2nd, West Ham in 4th and Newcastle suddenly jumping up to 14th. The smaller teams beating the big boys, a league where any team can beat the other. You never really know how things will stack up at the end of the season. Game Week 10 Newcastle v Liverpool - Newcastle finally showed some teeth and balls to boot away from home when they had Tottenham beaten. This was their second straight win and they now go into a home match even confident after defeating Man City 2-0 away from home in the League Cup with City fielding a strong line up. Liverpool meanwhile looked worse than their previous match when they struggled to a goalless draw with Hull at Anfield. They are at best ordinary. In fact, many more teams are more exciting to watch this season. If the Magpies fly again, Liverpool will be in trouble and I think the Magpies are really finding their wings. Wrong time for Liverpool to visit St. James Park. Only if Sturridge plays an

Because it is the longest club, it is basically the hardest to hit. Then there is the ego problem to boot and few people understand enough about golf clubs in particular the driver to get themselves a correct one. Easily 7 out of 10 people are playing with th

The last time I went to Batam must have been a good 2-3 years ago but in the last 3 weeks, I went there 3 times. Many years ago, I used to go there for golf and many of my friends love to golf there too, especially beginners as there are few golfers there on weekdays. Its like having the entire course for yourselves and it has a feel of a vacation. If you go via Harbour Front, it gets you to Sekupang which is easier to access golf courses at Southlinks, Indah Puri, Batam Hills and a newer course called Sukajadi. From Tanah Merah, you sail to Nongsapura and the nearby courses are Tering Bay and Palm Spring. There is a Tamarin Santana beside Nongsa ferry terminal which is only 9 hole, so I have never been. The more frequented courses there were Southlinks and Tering Bay because those days we need big, open and friendly courses. Southlinks probably has the best maintained course and also the most expensive but our favourite is Tering Bay, designed by the Shark Greg Norman. It ha
