Start Play Golf

My Present Golf Set

I just want to share my experiences in playing golf. 

In the public perception that golf is a not very challenging sport  compared to other games such as football, badminton and other games.

Indeed, at first I thought the same too. When I was at a young age I preferred to play football and badminton rather to play golf cause it involve lot of money to buy golf sets, golf attires and green fees and so on and time consumed at least 4 hours to finish 18 holes. 

But until one day my friends really encouraged me to play golf after I stopped playing badminton and football because of my age. At that time I have reached the age of 40+ years old. I'm not one of those people who are rich and I could only buy half golf set. 

I started training for hitting golf balls at the Driving Range with RM10.00 for 100 balls. There is no guidances from the Golf Pro just a few tips from my friends only. I practiced every day until I really can hit the golf ball well in 6 months time and started playing golf with a handicap 24. And that time I found out that the game of golf is very interesting and challenging. 

I started playing real golf at UPM Golf Course Serdang, Malaysia and my first golf tournament at the Seremban International Golf Club (SIGC) at Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia and my stableford points was 9 points only. He! he! what the shamed. 

That experience made me continue to strive and practice without the tireless and ultimately won a first golf tournament at Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia after one in a half years later and at that time my handicap was 22 with 43 stableford points (7 under nett). It was my first great achievement so far at that time.

When I joined as a member at Perangsang Templer Golf Club I have just became a very keen golfers and after 5 years of playing golf my handicap at the time was 8 and has won a lot of tournaments organised by my club and other outside tournaments. As a amateur golfer, the best gross scored was 72 gross and I got a one-time Hole In One and SEVEN times 'Eagle'. 

Actually game of golf has teach me a lot of things about patience and trustworthy. During my round of golf I have never deceived my score. 

At present my handicap is 7 and still occasionally play with my friends even though I now have reached the age of 63 years old. 

If I can play golf well why don't you! Who has not tried to learn play golf yet, better start now and you will feel a satisfaction when you can make a good shot. 

Keep trying and trying! Do not give up .... Just do it...I know you can...That's all from me.
