Putting: the reverse overlap grip
Putting is a game within a game. It is completely different from the long game as the shape of the putter is different from the other clubs. The head has a little loft and is designed to get the ball rolling as soon as possible while the other clubs are designed to get the ball airborne. The shape of the grip is different too. The grip on all clubs must be round but in a putter the grip has a flat surface on top and is shaped to fit into the palm on the underside. As the shape of the grip is different it is recommended to employ a different grip while putting and not the grip used in the long game.

Master Chef
Care for caramel?
There are dessert recipes that require a long, elaborate technique and multiple steps. There are others that are quick, simple and easy to execute. There are dessert recipes which have a half a mile long list of ingredients. And then there is caramel custard! Milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla. I mean how difficult can those be to lay your hands on? Bitter sweet caramel flavour paired with firm and decadent vanilla custard, it’s a combination made in heaven! You can cut the sweetness by serving a sliced acidic fruit with it like mango or strawberry, or a dollop of whipped cream. I for one am very happy with just the caramel custard, and lots and lots of it!
