Golf, Golf, Golf and more Golf - My first hand experience
Golf is a strange game. How was I ever involved in this crazy game? Let me tell you, it start with my younger brother back in 1993. I just find it amusing when he does his practice swing with an imaginary club that I sometimes bust out laughing though I was unable to fathom why. I told myself I would be seen as crazy if I pick up this game.
We bought Pulai Springs as an investment in 1994. One year into it and paying foolish monthly subscriptions as described by my old friend, I decided to pick up this game.
I was brought to the range at NSRCC in September 1995 and was given a 7 iron to hit a few balls. I have no idea how to hold the club correctly let alone hitting it but I managed to contact it quite a number of times. I was using the baseball grip, which is quite easy, come to think of it. I guess my natural ball sense ability took over and I managed to hit the balls much to the surprise of my old friend, albeit some inaccuracy. Thanks to my racket games like Squash, Tennis, and Badminton.
I started buying golf books to learn more about the game for improvement to my game and subsequently bought a few VCDs (No DVD then) looking for tips in how to properly play this game. After a few months of regular games with my old friend and his friends, I grew more confident and was slowly addicted to the game. I got my PC from Pulai Springs (my home club) in October 1995 and finally got my Handicap in December 1995.
And like they say, the rest is history.
More about my golfing exploits in the near future.
