Ramadhan and Golf....

Salam to all...

Quite hectic with nothing lately...so hardly find my sweet time to update this green screen...hahaha...

Yaa...for those who are Muslims...I hope everything is going fine...or much better than previous Ramadhan...Insya Allah.

Worrait, back to our business. Tonight I'm going to write about golf...which I believe some of us here are addicted too. (either as a golfer or just as a follower of the champions). I may consider myself as a serious beginner golfer...which it is now become my 1st choice of sports after football of course...

Why golfing? Who are responsible for introducing this heavily addicted type of sports to me? Who is encouraging me other than my sweetie tweety wife? Who are my partners in this crime? Well, some people say with the same scripts I used to express to the golfers before..."Golfing is only for the lazy people in sports and leaving the family behind especially during the weekend."

To begin with, I started to fall in love with it since 2003....where I was organising one tournament for the DO Conference in Selangor. From zero to hero, I have to know all the rules and regulations about golf, the terminology used for it and etc. Being an organising committee is not as satisfied as the personal experience in golfing...so I borrow one old set of weapons from my father-in-law and start to hitting and laughing at the driving range.

Then...after being posted to Sabah, I started to seriously involved in golfing since there were limited time for me in footballing. The person responsibled for bringing me into this golfing matters? Of course my immediate bosses there none other than Mr. ZaCO and Dato' AKAB. I'll never forget their supports and encouragement for me to play golf. From the driving range (basic hitting without laughing) till to the real battlefield, where Mimpian Jadi Golf Resort at Tuaran became my first 18 holes in golfing. What a precious experience!

After that...with complete partners in crime, namely Mr. MYA from Semporna, Mr. ARAH from JB and Mr. AAR from Lahad Datu, golfing became our weekly routine, attacking on every angle of challenges in popular golf courses in Sabah. From Marina Kudat to Borneo at Bongawan, from Karambunai to Shan Shui at Tawau, from Dalit at Tuaran to Tambunan Golf Resort.

After coming back to Malaya...the hobby of viewing green environment with sports continues, but with new partners, leaving behind my great friends MYA and AAR in Sabah. In Malaya, I enjoy my weekly golfing routine still with Mr. ARAH, whereas MYA and AAR being replaced by Mr. RMN, Mr. MKAG, Mr. WAH and few others. Being able to organise mini tournament for my few other colleagues...golfing seems to become my new hobby in sports (I like to play any type of sports; the major problem with me in sports is that once I starts playing anything, I’ll play it seriously).

How serious? Well let’s get back to the topic...Ramadhan and Golf...yes, even though we organise 2 flights golfing just few days before Ramadhan, as a closing game before a 1 month break...unfortunately this morning, after the 4th day of Ramadhan...with my partner WAH, coincidentally finished a 3 hours golfing at UPM Golf Course. Without a drop of water to drink (in fact we can’t drink at all), finishing the 18 holes with 4 pars for the gross of 95 is such a good start for an amateur golfer like me during Ramadhan...what do you think?

Till that, I really missed my golfing partners, especially Mr. ZaCO in Penang, Mr. MYA who is still in KK, Mr. AAR as well as my great buddy Mr. ARAH who is furthering his study in Oklahoma, US.

So guys...watch out...let’s see what we can do after this 'Idul Fitr.

Regards,
Green Malay
