“Do you want to play golf or not?“, that is what my brothers keep asking me. I am not sure whether I have told you all that I have three elder brothers who are as crazy to golf as I am to radio control racing.

So this kind of question usually pop out when we have our not so often kind of family gathering. They are often if not always, asked me to follow their kind of relaxation. However, I always tell them I am not interested and I am not really into hitting ball all day long under the sun and rain. Now, with this statement of course they fired me back with this, “So, you racing your truck or buggy not under the sun, meh (local slang expression)?” I said that is different. That is pure adrenalin rush Read the rest of this entry »

Friend, [tag]do you play golf?[/tag] If you do play golf, do you ever thought how much you are going to spend buying all those necessary clubs, irons, shirt and not forgetting the suitable shoe for golf. Not to mention that you do need to join at least one golf club to enable you to use their greens. Now, that will cost you a lot. Well at least, that was what my brothers told me. I may get the details wrong here but I think I have covered something there about golf.

Obviously, I do not play golf or watch any news about golfing but I do know what is Ping Golf and [tag]Tiger Wood[/tag]. Just for additional info, all three my brothers play golf and they are all into it for serious. They even bought me one set of clubs, yes coincidently the [tag]Ping golf set[/tag] too, so I can join them in the driving range. However, I said “No, thank you. I am only into radio control nitro”.

Interestingly, they also become coaches to some ‘taukes’ aka Chinese business proprietors who requested their service in the driving range. They teach them on how to swing the club or irons properly, how to stand with the right leg distance and face direction etc. This is the one thing I like about golf, which it brings you influential contacts and friends. Try getting this kind of VIP by playing, let say, badminton. I do not think so you can get such ‘respect’ from it. I am not against anyone out there playing badminton, ok. I, myself play badminton too. For the sake of this post, I have four brands of badminton racket in my possession and guess what, I do watch badminton and I do know who are Misbun Sidek and the family and even Prakash Padukon. Now you know.
