It has often been quoted that the shaft is the engine of a golf club. Before the advent of graphite shaft, steel shaft was the De facto shaft in golf clubs. Before they become shafts, they are just steel sheets coiled in a roll very much like the original piece of metal all rolled up before they were unrolled to cut and form into pieces to be what is your car. That is why I do not speed when driving having seen how it is done to produce a car just like the food you would refuse to eat if you saw how they were done in the kitchens. Graphite shafts are fibres held together by resins. They either use stronger and stiffer sheets or they wrap more layers to determine the weight and stiffness. They are finally sanded and painted for cosmetic effects. What Shaft? Steel or Graphite? There is a significant difference in weight between the two. Today's steel shaft can be as light as 90 grams and even down to 75g over the older shafts that can go up to 115-120 grams. T

This is an urgent and important message. I saw this guy at the market food centre wearing what appeared like a Liverpool jersey proudly displaying the bold number 9 with the name Torres on the back. " Rad " in colour and my mind went " Boomz !" to borrow some words from a new local wordsmith if you know what I mean. The only thing about him that resembled Fernando Torres was his hairstyle though it's different in colour. He is a foreign worker working as a cleaner. I fondly recalled that in school we have a teacher called "Bulldog" (don't think I need to explain why Bulldog) who told us never to give our school jerseys or T-shirts away any old how as he has seen one wearing it but was an adult working as a cleaner. Nothing wrong to be a cleaner, it is an honest and important job, without them we are hopeless and living in the dumps. I have friends who have parents who have humble professions as cleaners, washer women, seamstress, lab

Soccer stars dance jigs in goal celebrations or pull their jerseys over their head and run with arms open as though they are flying. In golf, all you usually get is that punch in the air and a "Yes!" with clenched fists. Once, I did exactly that when I got a winning birdie putt flinging my T-shirt over the face and fly. I was trying to get a reaction from the rest.  They thought I was mad. All the world's like a fruit cake, it wouldn't be complete without some nuts in it. I shall now be attempting to cure your frustration, depression and prepare you for such a goal celebration when you hit your first birdie or better still your first score below a 100. When you don't know what you are doing, at least do it neatly. It was commonly said that 80% of the world's golfers never scored below 100. This is a myth. Perhaps it should be para-phrased as 80% of golfers do not consistently play below a handicap of below 100 (handicap 28) yet. Socrates defined insanity

Some folks asked me why so much golf and how about soccer? Why not? We can talk about anything under the sun. Do you need help to enlarge your "organ?" I can write about it too. I'm talking about organ as in piano/music. Don't think funny. There was a woman on a flight who asked the Priest beside her to do a favor. She had bought an expensive woman's electronic hair dryer for her mother's birthday that is unopened and well over the Customs limits and afraid they'll confiscate it. "Could you hide it under your robes and carry it for me through Customs?" The Priest told her that he would love to help but he can't tell a lie. When they got to Customs, an official asked the Priest if he had anything to declare. "From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare". As it was an unusual answer, the official attempted another question: "What do you have to declare from the waist down?" The Priest said: &qu
