On Wednesday, I did not take my lunch. So, I went out early with Nadzree for a drink around 4pm. We had our drinks at Apiwon, Luyang. I also took a bowl of ngiu-chap since I was quite hungry. We actually planned to go to Likas Driving Range to cut my putter. My putter is a bit long… I don’t really want to cut it but I have only two choices… bending it so that it suits my height or cut it shorter.

At the driving range, there is one small shop… the owner, Francis, is doing golf services minus teaching. Next to his shop is Prodigy Golf School. Other than selling golf equipments and merchandise, he also fix golf club. You can fix, modify or replace your golf’s shaft here.

His advice to me is not to cut it… but bend it to suit my posture and height. Cool, I saved my putter! And he did it for free… maybe because I said I want to buy a new set soon… 😀

Went to Likas driving range this morning. Adrian and Nadzree were there when I arrived. Park myself at one of the driving bay and went to buy a bucket of 100 balls for $10. Hits some balls till sweating like a cow… err maybe like a buffalo.

Halfway on my second bucket, I started experimenting hitting the carpet as hard as possible… I sarted with my number 5.  The idea is to create a deep divot when hitting the ball on the ground or fairway later. Then I change to P or pitching club. Did the same for a couples of balls… then when I try to hit the ball extra hard, I actually sink the club face deep into the carpet until it tear 😀 holly cow… it’s like a cobra sinking its fangs into the rabbit… wish I have the camera… I actually tear the carpet… the carpet is 1 inch thick… no wonder I can hit 268m 😛 … well, only when I hit it right lah… maybe if I wack a buffalo with the club, I might be able to kill the buffalo with one blow… 😀 But luckily I did not injure my hand.

On the 6th January, my first golf game for this year was the greatest so far… I scored 4 par 😀 … That is so impossible because for the past one or more year, I only manage to get 2 par I think… Well, I’m the laziest to do practice… I only practice by watching the Astro 815 and in my dream 😀 So, by suddenly scoring 4 par at the beginning of year 2008 is very exciting although it feels impossible.

In fact this is not the only sign that my golf is getting ‘impossible’… like our last game for 2007 which we played on 30th December, I hit the driver… and I think the ball fly around 268m… wow… to get a PGA license I think you need to drive 250m…  well ‘agak-agak’ only after minus here and there bah … I hope I can play more games this year… Last year, if not mistaken, only played 6 games and pay 2K for membership… So malas kan… :O

 
After the 18 holes game… so hungry, so wack chicken fried noodles at the Club House… mann… the cook has problem with salt taste I guess… everytime eat here, the food always salty.

Our golf bag… mine is the black bag… 1st one 😀

OK, the food testing was at Tuaran Beach Resort today. Since it is further up from Dalit Bay Golf & Country Club, I told my 2 friends about it last Sunday and set a planned to play golf today around 2pm… errrr… meaning we are going to do half day AWOL 🙂 They even challenged me if I dare to play since I’m the most ‘malas’ (lazy) to play… they even said, ‘Jangan cabar kami!’… translation… “Don’t dare us!”… chechhhh… Tembiraaaaanggg …

So, come today… while having my free lunch, I SMS one of them asking what time to t-off. When reply come… saaaad saaaad… alasaaaaannnnnnn (excuse) lagiiii.. leg painful lah… gout lah… chechhh…

Then called the other, this one also 2×5! Still in the office with bos!!! Konon!!!… excuseeeeeee … excuse… So, decided to play around 3pm…

After lunch, then site visits around the resort… we completed before 2pm. Called him again… Stiillllll in the office… So I cancelled lah our game…

Because of that, got no mood to write about the food testing now…

I woke up real early this morning… at 5.45AM!!! It’s because we are going to Dalit Bay Golf & Country Club for a nine holes golf game… can’t afford to play 18 holes because not enough ‘energizer batteries’. When I woke-up, I switch on my notebook, although I promised not to go late for the game… well, the hand very ‘gatal’ bah… check PPP… cool, got one offer… so ‘apa lagi, gasak lah’… and still ‘sempat’ to get ready… in fact I was too early until I have to call the guy who supposed to bring us there to come to pick me up fast…

And, guess what we met there…  Mr. Alligator

Yesterday I went to renew my Dalit Bay Golf & Country Club membership. My membership has expired since 28th October. I’m not the ‘rajin’ type to go under the sun and whacking ball, but golfing is a good way to sweat under the sun once in a while. Luckily someone is helping to look for new member so that it can be joined with old member for the Joined Membership which is much cheaper. When I pay it using my favorite credit card, it cannot go through… damm… lucky I have another card. Meaning, it safe to carry minimum of 2 credit cards and maximum of 2 credit cards… to prevent over spending and for security… ha ha ha…

Every golfer has one dream, to get the perfect golf swing. But it is not easy to achieve if you do not know what create a perfect golf swing and what caused it not to be achievable. Some of the greatest enemies of golfer are topping and slicing the golf ball.

Topping is basically caused by the right knee extending during backswing or maximum force is exerted prematurely at the top of the swing. And when the left hand is turned too far to the right or too far to the left when gripping the golf club, this will probably cause slicing.

Jim Clark found the connections between the body and the swing to archive the perfect golf swing. With his extensive knowledge about the brain, joints, and muscles, he developed The Perfect Golf Swing which allows one to know exactly how his body should move to strike a golf ball with consistent power and accuracy.

I went to golf practice this morning. So tiring, hit 100 balls. I’m the laziest person to train… in a month, I go to the driving range between 0 – 3 times… it all depends if someone calls me to join in the driving range… I never go by myself.

My sets are all Titleist except my putter… the classic Cleveland putter. Currently inside my Titleist bag are:

1. Titleist 735CM irons with Dynamic Gold S300 shaft
2. Titleist Pro Titanium 905R driver with Aldila NV 65 shaft, 9.5 degrees
3. Titleist 585H utility metals with Aldila NV 85 Hybrid shaft, 17 degrees
4. Cleveland Classic Putter.
Golfer might think i’m nuts… yea, i don’t have handicap and i’m not pro… lol… that’s becoz i don’t have! i’m not tested yet! i have not submitted 20 score card yet! lol… but i own all the stiff shaft… ^^

Currently I’m busy putting my ideas on backup and security into animated Microsoft Power Point presentation. Last night I started around 12am and slept around 2am.

The presentation for backup alone is already around 12MB… tats alot… but it is caused by the Visio pictures I copy and pasted into the Power Point.

I have not touched on it since I put it aside this morning… i wanted to continue now but i’m too tired… I better relax my mind… gonna watch golf on TV before i go to sleep… emm… The Masters Official Films 2003 is showing on Star Sports rigth now. LOL got tat picutre from Amazon 🙂
