Old school golfers are still using their irons not believing much in hybrids when even the pros at PGA Tour are mostly converted. They are direct replacements for your hard to hit long irons not woods. I have done a previous article on it: http://gforce-guru.blogspot.com/2009/07/why-hybrids.html If you want an easy to use hybrid that isn't too expensive then just settle for one that is not the latest but yet not from the dinosaur's age and a good metal wood company is TaylorMade. The Burner SuperLaunch hybrid. Some hybrids are just chunky irons and others are more wood like. Even for those that are wood-like, there are two different species. One is build like an iron with more weight behind and actually look half iron-half wood. The Burner SuperLaunch actually look like a small fairway wood. I do have some misgivings looking down at an entirely triangular shaped club head but this one is rounded off towards its perimeter.  What are the technical features of...

Surely all of us has something to do with fish one time or another. Mum used to rear some in a tank at home. At one time, fighting fish were the rage among boys.  I was one of the boys. Commonly reared fish are like guppy, angel fish, zebra fish, tiger barb, red sword-tail, gourami, etc. The wealthier folks would go for something more exotic and more adventurous. They reared Oscar that gulps down their food in a more ferocious manner.  Some even had a Piranha or two before they were banned. Here's an Oscar.

They love their fish quite differently. They love "Monster Fish". What are Monster Fish? Those that can grow up to a foot in length or even more than two feet and they have a high protein diet. That means you require special filtration and care a...

Venezuela, Dominica, Lebanon, New Caledonia and Guatemala visited my blog to cross the century mark, with Guatemala being the 104 country to have done so. Maybe I should do it like Changi Airport and sponsor some Venezuela Miss World to Singapore since they were the 100th country to have done so. I used to save money to buy an Apple Song Book for 101 songs as a teenager. Today an iPod is usually given to the youngsters and it could carry thousands of songs in it. The irony of life is often, as we progress, we actually regress. If you drop your cell phone into the sh*t hole while texting or tweeting your friends "shitting in office now" you won't even remember any number of your friends. When people ask for for phone number, I tell them "sorry, I won't know as I do not call myself". I have said it before, lots of good hawker food will all disappear in the next 5-10 years. It is not just gut feeling but I have actually spoken to real hawkers. The belo...
