Simply The Best - Better Than All The Rest

Advantages: See opinion
Disadvantages: See opinion

...~ ~ It’s hard to believe that this great American golfer, arguably the best who has ever held a golf club, is now over 60 years of age. As a young golf fanatic in the 1960’s, there were three golfers, “The Big Three”, who were head and shoulders above all the others; Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus. They strode the fairways of the world like kings, and between them won more major championships and tour events than any other golfers in the history of the sport. ~ ~ Nicklaus was born in Columbus, Ohio, in January, 1940, and burst onto the golf scene in his late teens, when he won the US Amateur Championship twice. It is fair to say that he was the Tiger Woods of his day, as he hit the ball further and higher than anyone had ever seen before. His sheer strength was awesome to behold, and I can...

Review of Jack Nicklaus

The Course Manager Who Changed

Advantages: see opinion
Disadvantages: see opinion

...“Jack is playing an entirely different game, and one which I am not even familiar with” Bobby Jones, watching Nicklaus win the 1965 Masters. Jack Nicklaus knew he was comfortably the best there was and, many would say, played too cautiously. If he had a weakness, it was arrogance. He knew he ought to win and didn’t want to let the others in through playing bold shots, which could have gone wrong. Safety was almost his watchword. That is, until the final round, with Nicklaus, say, a few strokes behind in a major championship and no longer anything to lose. Then, for his last round tee shots, he would leave the irons in the bag. At Muirfield in 1966, he maneuvered his way round, mostly playing the irons from the tee for placement and avoiding the hayfields along the fairways. He won. Several years later at the same...

Review of Jack Nicklaus

"Jack my ball keeps going straight."

Advantages: Manage to complete a round faster with less balls lost
Disadvantages: Don't spend as much time in the rough so I don't find lots of extra balls other people have lost.

...It seems that in golf today the most important thing that a club should have is a high MOI rating (moment of inertia). This rating basically relates to the clubs ability to resist twisting and turning of the club head when a ball is struck off centre. In drivers and fairway woods this has prompted all sorts of weird and wonderful designs. However the same could not be said for the iron market that was until the Jack Nicklaus Company released their Nicklaus Polarity MTR Irons. The set consists of 7 irons (#5 iron through to sand wedge) plus the addition of two hybrid rescue clubs which form a replace for the 3 and four iron. As I stated at first the main benefit that these irons offer over all other clubs on the market is this increased MOI rating. This is done by repositioning the weight in the club head so that it is further apart...

Review of Nicklaus Polarity MTR Irons

Can anyone tame the Tiger

Advantages: The man is just pure class
Disadvantages: Didn`t convert his 19 runner-up place into majors

...Everywhere you look you see Tiger Woods name splattered on all Golf magazines , bill boards , television ads , sports sponsers etc Yet not too far from him on the 18th hole stands Jack Nicklaus the one man who at the age of 60 is no doubt the greatest golfer the world has ever seen. Tiger Woods a comparative newcomer to the game when compared to Jack Nicklaus has yet to prove the test of time. Where are his challengers ?? Unlike the great Jack Nicklaus who in his prime time had to continually withstand the challenges of Arnold Palmer and Gary Player. These three players captured the imagination of the golfing public yet no matter how fierce and tight the competition was Jack Nicklaus always pulled through to win those all important trophies. This sustained pressure lasted for many years yet Jack Nicklaus withstood it season after...

Review of Jack Nicklaus

Jack Johns... zzzzzz....

Advantages: Unbelievably chilled out
Disadvantages: Little samey but only if your being picky

...Jack Johnson is an Acoustic guitarist and songwriter born in Hawaii. This is his third album and is a characteristically mellow offering and should appeal to anyone who knows how to chill out. The album is packaged in a nice cardboard case which is a yellow background and a silhouette of a tree with a lone guitarist resting against it. This guy is seriously laid back. his album has 15 tracks but also comes with a bonus track when bought in the UK. A lot of people who have read my reviews will tend to like something completely different but I don't think many people will dislike JJ. My only complaint is that he's TOO chilled. The Album [Track 1 - Better Together] A floating acoustic riff drifts through the beginning of this track and the vocals make it practically feel like a lullaby. The lyrics are positive...

Review of In Between Dreams - Jack Johnson

All about Jack

Advantages: wonderfuul dogs, caring attentive and easy to care for
Disadvantages: Some can be nasty if not trained right

...We inherited Jack about 10 years ago he was kept in a shed because the owner?s daughter preferred his brothers to him! Paul my boyfriend swapped him for some tarmac (the owner was a farmer and its quite common for them to need tarmac). Paul took him home and he lived with him and his mum for a few years until we got our own house and he?s been with us ever since. About the Jack Russell breed ----------------------------------- The founder of the breed was Parson John (Jack) Russell. Who bred these great dogs in the nineteenth century. This terrier is supposed to have originally been crossed with a Devon hunt terrier. The breed varies in size and coat texture, I know some really skinny dogs but our Jack is a hefty 11kg! The recommended weight is between 5-8kg (oops!) Jack is a smooth coat but some terriers have a rough coat...

Review of Jack Russell Terrier

Adopting Jake the Jack Russell

Advantages: Loving, company, exercise for me!
Disadvantages: Barking at other dogs

...We took over a two year old Jack Russell a month ago, from some friends who were moving house and couldn't take him with them. My husband and kids had been campaigning to have a dog for several years, but I wasn't keen as I knew that I would end up being the one doing all the walks etc and didn't think I could cope with the extra work. However, I'd gradually come around to the idea and decided that a Jack would be the breed that I'd most likely risk, as they were the only type of dog that I'd had experience looking after, as we used to dog-sit Nipper the Jack for my in-laws when they went on holiday. So when our friends asked for anyone who could give Jake a home at short notice, we decided to go & meet him, and consequently brought him home. The first night he was here, he slept in our bed, between us, initially with his head on mine...

Review of Jack Russell Terrier

Jack and Sarah

Advantages: Good balance of comedy and drama, good performances, quirky.
Disadvantages: Horrid soundtrack, Samantha Mathis.

...The only reason I had a watch of Jack and Sarah was the constant comments I kept reading about how Kevin Smith's Jersey Girl was little more than a remake of it. While there are certainly some similar plot points, on the whole though I would say that the two are entirely different. The best part though was finding a nice little film that I probably would have missed otherwise. Walking the line between drama and comedy is not an easy one for any film. If you're trying to push serious themes, it becomes difficult to crack jokes at the same time. Likewise, a dramatic event in a comedic film can be a very jarring experience that works against the film. I'm glad to say though that Jack and Sarah balances between the two very steadily, only stumbling from time to time. The film focuses on Jack (Richard E Grant), a London lawyer who...

Review of Jack And Sarah (DVD)

Jack and Jamie!

Advantages: looks good, cheap
Disadvantages: can be hard to find

...I love Doctor Who, it's such an amazing show! It is a TV programme, aired on the BBC, about a Timelord named the Doctor (a Timelord travels around the universe saving the innocent from the evil creatures!). Doctor Who has been on and off our screens for many years, and has recently reappeared back in 2005 with the 9th Doctor played by Chris Eccleston. In this first series, we had a double episode, 'The Empty Child' and 'The Doctor Dances'. These episodes took us back to World War Two during the Blitz, when the Doctor takes his companion Rose (Billie Piper) back to London. Theyre, Rose meets a Time Agent called Captain Jack. Meanwhile, the Doctor has to try and solve a mystery - who is the little boy with the gas mask who keeps asking for his mummy? This little boy is also known as the Empty Child. The BBC have produced many 5" figures...

Review of Character Options Doctor Who Captain Jack and the Empty Child Figures

<3 Jack!

Advantages: looks good, can be cheap now
Disadvantages: /

...I love Doctor Who. I'll admit my knowedge of the original series is quite weak, but you can ask me anything about the 21st Century series' and I can rattle off a fair bit to you! So what is it anyway? Well Doctor Who is a sci-fi family show about a Time Lord named the Doctor. He travels around the galaxies through time and space in his blue box known as the Tardis (Time and Relative Dimension in Space), saving the innocent from the evil. Sometimes he travels alone though more often than not it is with a companion. One of his companions, as sort of tag along, is Captain Jack Harkness, who we met in Series One, and then again in Series 3 and 4. He is a Time Agent, so he knowns about alien tech and suchlike. He fell for the gorgeous Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) and although he and the Doctor did not get along too greatly, they soon became...
