Golf Swing Updates

To be good in golf you need to practice..we used to practice two times a week at the Pandan Perdana Driving Range just 10 minutes drive from the office. Now they are selling balls at RM 12 per 100 balls and no coupons of 1,000 balls available, made some golfers shied away..especially the Japanese and Koreans, who usually hits 200-300 balls per session, the driving range was quiet after 8.30 pm in the evening.

My golf buddies never practice nowadays and their swing went haywire week after week, good tee off was followed by shank iron shot, topped chip and duffed pitch shot were common! But everybody seemed to do well at tee-off because the ball was on the tee...but think again, here is a closer look at their finishing!!

Sunday Morning..wake-up yawning..yearning for Golf!

Sunday morning was great for golf, especially for some people who got the approval their spouses. Playing with friends was always fun with or without spouses approval. Last week I was playing in a friendly school alumni tournament and brought home an electric kettle after getting 5^th place, my wife said you can play more golf…and bring home some more electrical items. She may have forgotten there were many such items in the store and not yet unboxed. Anyway I was playing good golf then but now not any more as age is catching up as some friends pointed out, week after week!

Back to KLGCC last Sunday..I was contemplating of joining the kakigolf group who rounded up 5 flights that morning..thanks to COO 5zal & Mr Shahar the KLGCC Taiko! I Said hello to them at the club and off to join my regular Selayang and Gombak golf buddies, see the photos. Amongst us 2 were OKUs, pronounced Orang Kurang Upaya and 1 still OLS or Orang Lemah Syahwat. The OKUs were genuinely qualified as they were having problems with fitness and on medication but OLS was awarded for hitting shots all over the place and putting short of the hole each and every time! Another buddy has to wrap both knees resulted from too much walking at Tiara Melaka the other day…and topped his iron shot 50% of the time!

In the photos were Halim, Sharif , Sharol, Jai, Atek, Yop, AA and Bangdolah. Here is the post mortem…AA and Shariff won 2 holes against Sharol and Halim and won RM 4 after playing 4 hours of golf, luckily there were no caddies otherwise they still have to top up RM 16 for the caddies. In Kundang Lakes…the caddies were actually Bibik working part-time, that’s why they liked cleaning the balls…

I shot my best score for the day, 85 gross (42+43) that included 9 pars 4 double bogeys and 5 bogeys. I hit 92.8% of the fairways and only had two three putts on the sub-standard green. Jai had a birdie on the Par 3 132 meter hole using a 9 iron to about 9 feet from then pin, nevertheless everybody else in the flight pared the hole!

Only funny photos on display, Happy golfing! Hope to carry this good score on Friday at Bukit Beruntung West Course…
