Golf should be enjoyable. There is no reason why a player should have to struggle from year to year without making any improvements. But before golfing can be enjoyable and carefree, there is a need to go through an initial period of training, a learning curve in which you acquire a sound swing shape. Without the correct swing, you won't be able to play enjoyable golf!
It's just like learning to ride a bicycle, driving a car, or learning how to play a musical instrument. (It's not only depending on the equipment that you have but it's also from your lousy swing!!)
Your golf training, like these other activities, must be based upon a specific plan to be fruitful. Instructors who teach ballet, karate, horse riding, judo, or whatever, have a clear knowledge of what they are trying to create in their pupils and an equally clear knowledge of the techniques that will take the pupil to the desired goal.
The player needs a ready-made action plan so he can learn the correct techniques right from the start instead of trying to correct mistakes later on. If not, they will end like my blogger buddy; until todate yet to challenge me in in golf course. I don't no why!!!

Out of Bound.
I'm sure some of you do this.... What happen if you hit a ball and went in out of bound? Are you ( after cursing around) take a second shot near the place which the first stoke has been made?
It is common that golfer will drop the ball near the area where their first ball went out of bound( OB). They are to lazy to hit a provisional ball (with a penalty stroke) and also too lazy to go back to the original place which the shot was made when they confirmed that the first ball went OB.
According to rule 27-1, the players receives an additional two penalty strokes in stroke play, or loss of hole in match play. In stroke play, golfer must go back to the spot where the last spot where the ball was hit from and went to OB and then continue to play. In a competition, if a golfer does not go back and play from the original spot before continue the next hole, the organiser is able to disqualify the said golfer.
So, next time when you are playing with your boss, make sure he follow the rule of golf!!!!!

On my way!!!!
It not only happen in golf but anywhere!!!!.
"Where are you?"; "On my way! On my way!!, You warm up dulu & another 5 minute i sampai!!!!" - normal conversation among golfers
A few incident i had encountered in golf tournament that delayed the start of its competition because a couple of players were late. When discovered, they had granted extra time because of they are "known" to the organiser or their flight mate. Sometime they are VIPs and VVIPs. This is totally unacceptable. From my understanding, when a player is late for a tee time he has broken golf's rules and have only one option: DQ the scumbag!!!!.
Its also applied when you are having leisure golfing with your friends. Whenever you make a promise to tee off at 9.00, make sure you are ready at hole no 1 tee box, 5 minute before 9.00!!!
Late comer should be penalise. Even when you in primary school you will be punished by your disciplinary teacher when he caught you are late!!!

Shame on you, better!!!!!
Today, Tiger woood had won his 14th major!!! He earned tons of money since he involved in this weird game. But, the issue here in not tiger and his money but more on you golfer with your betting attitude in this game!! I'm totally disagree if some one said that is only for fun and it also to improve our golf game.
One day, a friend of mine came to me before i reach my office and asked me to lend him RM500.00. No question ask and he promise to return back to me before midnight. So i gave him the money and proceed with my normal and boring office life. That evening, he called me and asked me to joint him at kopitiam. To make it short, he told me that today he had some golf with some dato' and won RM4,800.00. My goodness!!!. So easy... (of course he is 11 handicapper's!!!) and to make it more interesting, he managed to pay his car and credit card installment with that money. Just imagine how stupid of the dato' are!!!. Golf is suppose is fun & healthy game. Definitely that stupid dato' don't care about the money. But for me, all of them had betray this golf game with their stupidity!!!.
My 11 handicapper friend said that he know he can beat the stupid dato because he is allow to give 6 stoke to them for 18 holes. For him 6 stroke is kacang putih. If the dato' koyak max 2 holes, the money is his already.
Betting in golf game of course is already unstoppable. Even, in my home club, golfer only want to play with their own group. (You now why). They need to bet to improve their game!!! But yet when come monthly tournament they fumbles. Yeah... to improve your ass!!! For me, golfer please don't be so greedy and stupid. There is no such person getting rich betting in golf in malaysia!!!If u think you are good , go find tiger wood and bet with him!!! Shame on you!!!!

Provisional Ball
Last two week me and my golf buddies went for golf at Astana Golf Club Kuantan . This guy wearing a nice srixon t-shirt and footjoy golf shoe on the hole no 11 (par 3) black teebox. (Of course i'm carrying my driver).After his pre- swing and he make a move. I notice his down swing a little but rusty and the ball slicing to the right and end up into a bush.
After cursing like hell, he asking for "mulligan". My other friend said "no way , you are dead meat!!!. Then he told us" i would like to take pro- ball!!". Huargh!! Huagrh!! Huargh!! Dude.... there is no such thing as Pro-ball!!!!!. You think your are pro-fessional hah!!!. You need to call provisional ball, you f****n moron!!!
So that day end up with no fun at all....

Blue Tee box? Are you girl or what?
I still remember during my first golf so call friendly tournament in Bukit Tinggi last 2 years. Numbers of my golf buddies enter a tournament there for fun. After eating all the free breakfast, we registered ourselves and start to search for our flight mate. I was stunt when i saw that the tournament will start at course championship (gold) tee box!!!! Wahh... this is championship tee box man!!! So i asked my flight mate for their handicap. i notice all of us is above 20 handicappers!!!!
i was so bengang, when i saw the said tee box will cause me another 10 or 20 yard longer. Even though I'm not aiming for any prizes but with this additional yard, i had to used a driver for the par 3!!!! Sai Lorr....
If i not mistaken, championship tee box is only for professional golfers. For myself (handicap 20 above those days) is only can play from blue tee box. During my trip to Impian Golf Resort, i was told by one of the Japanese that he will to tee off from blue tee box since he is 20 handicapper. I'm not the expert of golf rules but there are certain common senses u need to look at. i believe that golfers who are handicappers above 20, should tee off from tee box. Same thing when i played with brothers... They always told me "U perempuan ka tee off at blue tee box??"(stupid idiot!!)
Luckily i bring my secondhand ball for that day. i lost more than 5 ball and my score... huh....f****n 105. No fun at all and no wonder i cannot improve!!!!

What a weird game...
Golf is a gentleman game!!!!! Ceh.... for me golf is a weird game. Of course if u stick to all the rule and ethics u will be gentleman!!!! but are you sure u are following all the rules from the first tee to the eighteen tee ?. Either u sengaja or not, i 'm sure still langgar a few rules to make u happy. Unless, somebody or a Marshall following u for each step you gonna to take, then you will become truly a golfer. But for me, sure my score for that day will be above 100...
I accidentally started this weird game somewhere in 2000. but still, yet to score below 80. I also got my own coach which teach me after isyak prayers twice a week. Still with his sarung, he took my 7 iron and said ; Hah! pukul!!!!!. Then my golfing life started to begin!!!!!
Without my coach knowledge, i tried to get a few tips my "other coach" but my golf swing still stink. My pre- swing cantik giler.My body position always not balance. Every time rasa nak jatuh. Too many volunteer coach want to teach me..My friends told me that it was the club fault. He took my ugly driver and put in front of me. then i notice that the length of my driver is almost the the same with my height. (stupid moron!!)
To make things right, i had change my driver and 3 wood to Taylormade. I also change my iron to Callaway X14. Wah!!! damn good. But still lack of distance. So until to date i still searching a way to at least at par with tiger wood driver distance. Anybody know how to hit the ball without jeopardise my pre -swing?
