Asia Pacific Junior Masters : Malaysian being the future LPGA tour winner ?
Dianne recently won the Asia Pacific Junior title at Kuching. She is only 14 , with handicapp 5. Recently GA manage to talk to her dad (Joseph Luke , who works at Sarawak Shell in MIri ) who was posing a big smile when GA congratulate him on her recent success. Only now ,some golf governing body has ecame forward to sponsor her travelling and competition expenses.
Dianne is a success story of Kelab GOlf Miri Junior programme. And she is not the only one. Other rising stars like Alvin , Calvin , Abg Izzul or even Dianne little brother are also starts to shine.
GA is a bit concern on the Govt role in developing young talents in golf. More have been said and done. If only talents like Dianne are being notice in the USA , GA is pretty sure she will be enrolled into a sports college. But not many malaysian parents can afford to that. Some even stop school to concentrate on golf.
Is there ayone out there willing to put your money on Dianne ? I would. In time , she will be the household name in Asia. My prediction is when she reaches 18 , she will be in the LPGA circuit. Now some might call me a dreamer . Hey ! why not...
Come on Malaysians , dont just sit there and say Malaysia Boleh !

So what ? GA response to R&A revision of @006 Amateur Status Rules
Excerpts taken from MGA Online :
"R&A revises 2006 amateur status rules
Saturday, August 27, 2005 - ParGolf Magazine
Amateurs can teach golf for payment; face reduced penalties for breaches of rules
The R&A, golf’s world governing body and organiser of The Open Championship, recently announced revisions to the Rules of Amateur Status that provide amateur golfers with the opportunity to receive payment for giving golf instruction and reduce the waiting time of those who have breached the Rules, but who wish to return to amateur status. The changes to the Rules and their interpretations come into effect from 1 January 2006.
A new Instruction Rule provides that an amateur golfer may be paid for coaching golf for the first time as part of an "approved programme". Under the new Rules on reinstatement, the time amateur golfers in breach of the Rules have to wait before they regain their amateur status is reduced. The new guideline of 1-2 years brings these waiting periods in line with those for professional golfers returning to the amateur game.
These are the principal changes to The R&A’s Rules of Amateur Status which, together with the Amateur Status Decisions book, have been significantly redrafted after a comprehensive, two-year review. The R&A’s affiliated unions from around the world have played a full part in the review and The R&A has liaised closely with the United States Golf Association throughout. The USGA’s decision to make equivalent changes to its Amateur Code and to allow amateur golfers in the United States to receive expenses in individual competitions (which has been allowed under The R&A’s Rules for many years) means that the respective Amateur Codes of The R&A and USGA are more closely aligned than ever before.
The two Codes diverge on only one matter – hole-in-one prizes. In the new R&A Code, acceptance of an excessive prize remains a breach of the Rules but carries a much reduced period awaiting reinstatement. The new USGA Code will allow amateur golfers to accept hole-in-one prizes of any value.
Commenting on the new Rules, David Rickman, The R&A’s Director of Rules and Equipment Standards said: "I believe that the new Instruction Rule will greatly assist the worldwide development of the game by bringing coaching to remote areas where professional tuition is often not available. The R&A and USGA have made excellent progress towards a single Code for amateur golfers throughout the world.""
and what does GA feels about it , SO WHAT ?

New Golfers in Malaysia in the eyes of GA
New golfers are born everyday in Malaysia.
Thus most new golfers who aged 41 to 50 are the smallest number of them all.
Why ? Cause most of them are not good enuf for the game .
Why ? Cause most of them can't stop whinning how difficult it is to make that
golf swing.
Why ? Cause they are too busy with things and can't manage time.
Golf are getting its popularity among juniors aged 3 to 18.
Why ? Mum n dad wants to emulate Earl Wood
Why ? The last World Junior Tournament is Kuching have so
many malaysians in top ten.
Why ? Junior golf programmes are in abundance at most golf clubs.
Why ? Kids dont whine ! They follow instructions and adapt fast.
Golf are also getting popularity among men n women at in the mid aged group.
Why ? Have you heard of RM800 AGN card ?
Why ? New corporate leaders are growing and they are young guns.
Why ? Dont have to beat the traffic to go home early.
Why ? Part of it Tiger Wood mania.
Why ? Golf equipments are getting cheaper.
Why ? Networking.
If you want to take up golf ;
1. Don't buy expensive equipments for your first golf set. Buy second hand.
2. Forget about blades. They are meant for golfers like me (he he he MP33)
3. Get a Pro to start with. Bad tips can make your golf game miserable.
4. Patient enuf.
5. Spend time at practise range. If you don't you will end up buying more golf balls.
6. Dont go to pratise range alone.
7. Call me for good golf tips. Free mah ....
8. Dont blame others if you cant make the grade.
9. Learn to manage time.
10. Golfers are not men from mars. If you dont manage your golfing schedule , tough !!!
11. Handicapp are measurement on how you should improve your game. not how you can
win more prizes.
12. etc etc etc....

In memory of my favourite Adidas
Oh my dear adidas ,someone nab it right infront of the house last nite.it was my favourite golf shoes .bought it at Dubai Duty Free on June 2003. sapa lah nak pakai kasut tu other than gi main golf. I was wondering why did anyone want to snatch that poor thing. or maybe it is a signal for me to get a new one .
Alvin takes the Lead in Junior World meet in Kuching
With score of 72 , Alvin takes the lead at the Sarawak Junior World Masters. This would be his last tournament in the Junior catogery. I would certainly put my money on him to take the title this year. If he did, this would certainly put Miri Junior Programme something to be proud of.
Miri Golf Club and Eastwood Valley Golf and Country Resort are the only golf clubs in town. But if you are a visitor to Miri , you should pay a visit to the practise range at both clubs. Kids as young as three years old are putting on the practise green. Girls and boys hitting irons on the practise range. Parents supporting these kids stands back evidently giving a lot of moral support.
I wonder when are going to build a sports academy in Sarawak?

GA Illustrated : Fairway Bunker shot
GA played at Eastwood Valley Golf and Country Resort last weekend. His tee shot faded into the fairway bunker on hole no 2. With about 150 m to the pin , GA took out his 6 iron , contemplating on a punch shot to the fron of the green.

Little GA on winning the LPGA first Tournament in Malaysia
GA : So how do feel about winning the first LPGA tour in Malaysia?
Lil GA: eeee.... I havent brush my teeth....
GA : Who is the person responsible in bringing golf into your life ?
Lil GA : Actually , no one did . I was born with golf.
GA : Where else do you think LPGA event should be held ?
Lil GA : errrr...maybe in Segamat Metropolitan...
GA : Any last words ?
Lil GA : naaahhhh, I am too shy ...
Corporate Golf : Advertising or Official Bribe
Have you seen corporations or group of specific industry organising golf tournaments ? Yeah in fact I was playing in one of them a year ago. What is it really the purpose of such event. Advertising ? Is it really or is it an official route where organisation can use to lure those golfers from corporations into offcial bribe.
I am quite amazed with the number of corporations sponsored tournament in this country. How I wish the money could be used to lure more kids to play golf ....hey its their money..whos cares

Golf Malaysia Iron Tournament
If you have problems with drivers and woods , and are very good with your irons , maybe it is this tournament would be the best way to show off your skill and start winning some prizes.
In a way , I am quite amazed with the effort. But playing it at Palm Garden Golf Club at Putrajaya....I do hope it doesn't rain on the day.

n they say Golf is a waste of time
I have come across a bunch of men today who claims golf is a game men waste their time. I have to say yes and no to that. But these are claims made by those who are most of them (sorry to say this out loud) just dont have the aura to play golf.
If you can't make the grade , ie can't make the swing , why do you have to accuse golf as wasting time. If you cant make frens and make more frens by playing golf , you dont go around accusing golfers as human being who do not know how to spend free time.
Some claims , you will have no time for your family. Are you kidding me ? Who are you fooling ? Golf is now a family game. Have you been to any golf course in the country. Kids are now exposed to golf like no one ever did before. Families are spending quality time at the golf clubs with their kids.
Some parents even come to admit , they rather see their kids taking up golf . So you spend more time at home. What do you with your kids. If you are home , but your kids are in their rooms palying vidoe games and you are infront of the tv sets watching CSI repeats or other programmes....ellloooo who are you kidding?
Malaysians who dont play golf ! Wake up and dont blame the game for not being able to spend time with your family. There is this thing they named TIME bloody MANAGEMENT. If you cant manage your time , stop blaming others. If you dont like golf , dont use excuses like not enuf time. If you find it hard to take up golf , maybe its time for you to talk to a golfer or take up lessons from the PRO. Until then .... Go Tiger...

On the 1st Nine KGM
Yusof shouted over the phone asking me to rush to the 1st tee box asap. When I did , we did teeing off with Francis and Steven. On the 1st tee , I was tempted to use the 5 iron but decided to use 6 instead. I have purposely left out wood 3 , iron 3 and 4. Well since I am carrying the bag today , those 3 items won't be of any good.
Landed right to the bunker in front of the green , used the lofted wedge and landed about 10 feet to the right of the pin. The green was in better condition than last weekend when I shoot 95 ha ha ha. The putter was not bad today considering a 10 feet putt for par and I nailed it this time.
On the 2nd tee box I was quite nervous with the 983E. Yesterday on the driving range , I did not hit a single good shot. Hit the drive a bit fade to the right beyond the hump on the 8th hole fairway. With about 165 m to the pin , took out the 6iron again and it drop short on the front of the green. Used the lofted wedge again and hit the ball pin high about 5 feet and saved par again.
On 3rd hole tee box , I was wondering what would happen to the 983e this time. Infact that feeling help in making me more focused and voila !!! a good tee shot smacked in the middle of the fairway. Took out the PW and lande pin high about 15 feet over the pin. Three putted and walked away to the 4th tee box , thinking what did I wasted that hole.
Poor tee shot on the 4th tee box but managed to get the ball in the middle of the fairway . I think I hot the drive using the left bottom sole of the driver. Lucky enuf it is still on the fairway. Again took out the 6 iron and this time , I punched the ball faded to the right of the green. Did not do justice to the wedge and double boogie the hole.
With water on left of the fairway and OB line on the right , hole 5 is not the tee box you want to be after making bogie and double bogie for the last two hole. Fortunately it went a bit fade to the right but fall short of the bunker on the right of the fairway. Used 5 iron to reach the right fringe of the green and pitch in with 9 iron before putting for par.
Hole 6 was a bit annoying . I did reach the bunker right to the green in 3 but the bunker shot don't have enuf spin on it and the ball walked thru the pin and landed on the top fringes. Happy enuf to take bogie hopin the next hole would be better.
HIt a good tee shot on the 7th hole and used 6 iron for my second shot. It flew high enuf but again dont have enuf spin on it and it bounced and flew over the pin landed about 15 feet from the top fringe. Managed a good pitch and saved par.
Hole 8 was not fun when your 3rd shot missed the green. One thing to note today is my 6 iron on the last 9th hole was a suprised gift to me. Nailing the green with 6 iron on a 170 m par 3 is not something 11 handicapper like me do everyday.
Anyway it was fun to strike the ball with Yusof again ...he he he forgot to tell about his game today...ha ha ha. veli teruk wooo...

GA suddenly got really pissed !!!
10 most ugly thing human can err:
1. Catching up with old frens only to find out they will only call u back if you do drive a merc or a beamer. Something like that...
2. Knowing all this while them politicians can take care of the environment and suddenly now they are using their wives to say it out loud to justify the tax payers money used to buy them shoes etc etc etc.
3. Golfers who only plays with you simply because you can provide him with something in return.
4. Donald Trump !!! Get real man...get a life.
5. To a retiring Prime Minister , go stay in your retiring zone.
6. To an outgoing MP , he he he , why sell cars when u can play golf.
7. A fren publicly proclaimed his vood virtues , when later I found out they are totally the opposite.
8. Golf balls are not made to fly ... are they ?
9. No weekend golf ... But had a great time in the house
10.Tiger missed my 2nd round prediction.

GA Prediction for the USGA
Tiger did not play well first round. Didn't you heard of that before and most of the time you do know what happened in the next three round. Yup ! he took the title. But this time around it is a bit unique. In the 2nd round he will play 5 under to take his total 2 round to even par golf.
Then on the third day Tiger will play 4 under and consequently take the title with a final round of 66. You can laugh at me but that will be it. In the Final round Tiger will be paired with one of the top five ranking player .
Is it me or what ? Go Tiger...you will have that title soon enuf on sunday.

GA stuck in the middle
I was on the plane back from KL last nite. Went in a bit late and trapped in between two gentlemen in executive clothes. Unfortunately once these guys open up and read their newspapers things get very uneasy. In a small space the gentlement on the left open up his newpapers as if I am not there in the middle. Then the gentlemen on the right follows suit.
After being hassled left and right , I decided to leave the papers alone and try to get some sleep. The is the first time , the space in the middle suddenly felt so uncomfortable for a small size guy like me.
Wish I cud take a good hit with a driver on their faces...ha ha ha just kidding..

GA on the news
Do you have Golf Insurance ? What is it about having golf insurance ? Some golfers do take up policies be it provided by their home club or any policies that are readily available in the market. Some don't bother. Some don't care , and some don't have any idea what golf insurance got to with a golfer.
If you travel to Labuan and visited the only golf course on the island , they will charge you RM 10 for insurance for the day. It seems a bit too much ain't it. But if you look around the golf course , and considering what will happen if your ball goes wild away from the fairway , RM 10 might be just what could save you. Good enuf they do accept golf insurance card issued for non members.
Some clubs do not bother to ask. Why ? Just maybe the course is too far away from public dwellings or public roads. Or just maybe they have not encounter any mishaps or they don't allow golfers without proper handicapp card or introductory card. Or some do charges insurance day charges and it could be too small these golfers don't bother to check the bills when they are eagerly waiting next to their buggy waiting to speed off to the first tee box.
Honestly , if you don't have one , go and pick up a policy. You never know what will hit you....
GA laughing out loud
got to share this , even if you dont apprehand , just laugh at it

If you think about it , it could happen to you - Car Hijack
Reported by a Golfer in Klang Valley:
Scary!!!
Another piece of car robbery scheme. Be it in KL or anywhere else,it is better to take heed. This actually happened to a Man not a woman recently in KL:
You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside.Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into REVERSE, and you look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space and you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.
So, you shift into PARK, unlock your doors and jump out off your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. Your engine was running, you would have your purse in the car and
they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.
BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.
Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window LATER. I hope you will forward this to friends and family especially to ladies! A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your home address. They already HAVE your keys!!!!!

Whats next
So Tiger misses out again at Buick.
Whats next?
PGA ... he will take it home for sure.
GA will on playing grass on sunday morning. At the moment hanging on to hcap 12 , but will be officially declared as 11 soon. Was hoping to go down to 10 next month so that I will qualify for the KGM Open this year. At the same time , anyone who wishes to sponsor GA this year are most welcome to contact me asap.
M Wie is doing well at the Women British Open. I bet she will turn pro by the end of the year and Nike will be all over her with sponsorship worth millions. By then end of 2006 , some film producer will be making effort to film her early days achievements. So what is new huh ...

Some words for the non golfer
I used to have a negative thought about golf. But after ten years playing golf , with handicapp 11 and going better , the game is not that bad after all. Now I am amazed at what non golfers says about we golfers.
Some says , its a waste of quality family time. To be honest , I have a very supportive wife who knows how I managed office hours , golf hours and quality family hours. If you can't manage your time , so be it , dont blame golf for long hours on the golf course.
If you can't beat the skilled golfers dont start with statements like " Ohhh I am only playing recreational golf and only for fun". Hey these are the same guys who are swearing , yelling and screaming out loud on the golf course when they play their worst round of golf.
I hate those who have only recently played golf , trying to make public comments about how the game should be played. And he is the type who shy away from the skilled golfers at the driving range. At the same time , trying very hard to hit balls on the carpet , sweating like a big fat buffalo trying to move a big tank. catch ma drift....

Golf Addix - In depth views...
Recently Astakabguhih from Planet Kunotuih landed on earth to cover on a story about a Golf Addix who one captured the Kunotuih Open Championship last year defeating thousands of Kunotuih golfers. Parts of the story covers below :
Astakabguhih : Do you a personal mentor in golf or do you adapt any golf guru techniques?
GA: Not a single golf mentor , but with a single attitude. Hitting the golf balls on the range with another golfer who are able to looks at swing faults . Usually dont spent too much time on trying to play as much as possible. In the early days used to look at David Leadbetter videos to learn tips and drills on how to improve your golf swing. But then again since I can't bring the video player to the practise range .... watch at home and to remember those clips at practise range ... are you kidding me ?
Astakabguhih : In your planet , is there a future in golf ?
GA : Yes. Golfers are now earning millions compared to mere thousand in the old days. But on the other hand , there will be problems. People always argues inflations rate in the purchasing power for good and services. But why raised money prices ? This actually contributes to the falling world economy. Look at Tiger , and how much money does he earn this year. Too much I guess. There will no future in golf in this planet earth. People will have to make another Tiger in the next decade or two. Or three.
Astakabguhih : Ok , I am heading back to my Planet now , but I will come back very soon to talk to you . Anyway , could you tell me where I can park my gigantic spaceship on next visit . I think I have burned your house down during my landing yesterday.
GA : errrr...

Golfers Sin
For those who wanted to embark on a journey to learn and play the game , there are one or two things that most of us golfers forgot to tell them. In the game , you will be exposing your true attitude be it positive or negative personal natures.
Once a golfer that I knew , loves to move his ball into a playable position whenever no one is not looking. It does not take long when everybody who knew him started to talk about it and begining to stop playing with him or against him.
I have seen greedy golfers. Using their status to gain the exclusive rights to play for corporate games. I have seen other greedy golfers using their positions to ask some other organisation to pay for their green fees . I have seen much much more greedy golfers who do not pay much attention to skilled but unrich golfer likes me.
There are also hot tempered golfers. Yelling , shouting and screaming at the ball seems to be their god gifted skill which no one else seems to understand . Are they really mad at the ball or is it because they are mad at themselves for not hitting the ball. Or is it a cover up of their ego for failing to hit the ball or they dont want to look stupid.
Non golfers ,if you want to start playing golf , please leave all those negative personality at home of throw it all away. The list is not exhaustive. I will write again about this later. If you want to play golf , be positive , get a pro to teach you all the basics and spend more time at the practise range.
Used to read an article in one of the posh golf magazines that quotes " The difference between a pro and amateur is , pro will be hitting the balls at the practise range before playing 18 holes , but an amatuer will be rushing to the first tee box to play 18 holes".

Its a lovely day today !
I work all day and have no regret about it.

It is a beautiful wednesday.

I learn golf is becoming more lnteresting as ever.
I learn I have friends to lean on to.
Oh what a good wednesday.

Looking around and thankful I still have them
I wish everyone in the world would have a beautiful wednesday.

Of news golfers hate to watch on TV
Ten things that I hate today:
1. Watching a british lashing out brutal comments on Malaysian Car producer.
2. Tun on the news ... bla bla bla ...aren;t they all the same.
3. Seeing Retief and Phil taking the USD1 million pot for winning 5 and 3 at The Battle.. , wonder how much was the appearance fee...
4. Cant afford to buy a plane ticket to see a dear fren down with dengue and wife loss 17 weeks baby.
5. CSI ... god knows what are they thinking ...
6. Enjoying my time at the office ? really ???
7. Running all over the city to pay dues...and when I reach the counter "System Down" , might as well they close down the bank. More like they do not know how to reboot.
8. Motorist who drive on the road as they are on the golf buggy looking all over for their balls.
9. Some CEO bragging and some old man , bragging abt his own past.
10. Seeing yuppies from YPC : looking like ?@#$$%^^^&&$#@&**
But what I like most today is I am damn good. So what !

GA rating on Nilai Spring Golf & Country Club
Sincerely I was expecting more. On other hand not much can be said about it. It is an interesting course to play. 27 holes with 3 nines named Mango , Island and Pines. I can really figures out the reason why they named it that way , but I do hope anyone of you out there who knows do tell us.
The changing room is quite standard. They have all the basic facilities and all the things you expect from a changing room. Right infront of the changing room , the pro shop is widely publicised by a local Golf Vendor. I guess sponsorship has its price. Buggies , well , I have an exceptional nasty comment on it. But I wont take the pleasure of mentioning it here in the public eyes , its for you to try it and have fun with it.
Most of the distance are quite short par 4 and par 5 and can be easily reached if you are handicapp 12 and below. Those beyond 13 to 24 and novie golfer might have problem to cope with the slopes on the fairway and some tricky hazards location. But come to think of it if you can't hit it straight , it won't helps in any course you played. I have special interest of the 10th hole on Island nine. It is interesting when you asked a golfer to lay up on his tee shot and asking them to make a good second shot from on top of hill facing a big pond infront of you.
The green are well maintained and I took a bit of time to get myself familiarise with the green speed. It looks slippery but it bites. Which explains why I managed to get two birdiesw on the back nine. Playing from the blue tee box , the course looks interesting. Variety of slopes and dog legs.
Overal I rated the course 7 out of 10. Good facilities except for the buggies. Nice course layout and good varieties. Restaurant services are not bad. and last but not least a good course to visit . GA says go there and enjoy your golf.

A fren and true gentlemen
I wish to extend my gratitude for two fren who have spend their sunday afternoon with me on a golfing trip at Nilai Spring. Unfortunately we were unable to capture the experience on camera. But they have turned up despite the traffic jam entering the looby of the hotel where I stayed. We reach the club at almost 2 pm and managed to start on the front nine by 2.10 pm.
It takes a while for me to familiarise with the course and it does tell after two birdie at the back nine. Managed to improve a bit the golf swing for both my playing partner and yes they adapted soon enuf. If only I am working in KL then I would be able to spend more time with those two and improve their games in no time.
I think that is the irony of golfer living in the Klang Valley. Not all have the time to spend hitting balls at the practise range. Plus they don't have frens to look and monitor their swing fault. And not all can afford teaching pros. If only these teaching pros are available at modest fee, the game would gather more newcomers to the golfing fraternity.
Last but not least , I wish to thank Nik and Azman for their time. Wish I have more of these two guys. I will definitely make up for the time spent.

Last but not least , I wish to thank Nik and Azman for their time. Wish I have more of these two guys. I will definitely make up for the time spent.

MPGA ! are u for real ...
" THE recently launched Malaysian Professional Golf Association (MPGA) Golf Academy will be the centre of excellence for training the country's future golfing stars. "The Malaysian PGA academy will be mainly a centre of excellence and will also serve to attract foreign golfers to come and train in Malaysia," said Sports Minister, Datuk Azalina Othman Said after launching the PGA Academy at Seri Selangor Golf Club in Damansara yesterday."
Is it really happening ? Where is the website ?

Is either rain or shine
The following are golfers which at the moment I love to drive a golf ball right thru their balls:
1. A group of leaders calling themselves leaders but acted like ?$#%^&**
2. A slow golfer with brains of desk top which still owns floppy drives.
3. A loud golfer who brags about his golf but cant tell where his ball went.
4. A local golfer who had never lived or work outside his hometown.
5. Another slow golfer who show off their useless and knackered brain.
why ? guess what , let me drive it then I will tell all.
GA prepares for Nilai Spring
GA will travel to KL on early sunday morning. Not to KGM but to the airport heading for KL. Was contemplating of asking someone to pick me up from the airport or is it better at KL Sentral. Or should I check in to the hotel first. Maybe later they will call to reconfirm. GA had never played at Nilai Spring. Someone must have did. The slope rating is 128 , my assumptions are , the green are fast but soft. Maybe quite short and less challenging , less trees and most probably a number of water hazard here and there.
Whoever has played on that course , please do lend me a hand. Write abt your experience playing there. tolong.....

Friday blues
It was actually raining from early morning. Did not plan to play today.Work at the office was a bit tight. A lot has to be done to catch up with the guys and gals in KL. Some of the guys in the office were rambling and quite shock with the number of staff that was awarded with brilliant evaluation for their performances. I was not complaining nor I have time for it. So what , these guys are good with dealing with their boses , what can I do about it. Don't expect me to follow suit ,coz me GA got my own style dealing with people. Maybe no one likes it now , but who knows I might be somebody in the future and then , only then they will start to say something nice about my work.
Anyway , shoot off from the office on time , as usual. Upon reaching the first tee box , I saw Azam waiving at me with his three fingers on the air signalling 3 balls and I think asking me to join to complete the foursome . Without hesitation , swinging my precious wira aeroback thru the curves and parked behind the first tee box. I did a bit rushing with changing shirt , wearing the shoes and taking the golf bag out of the car and hey I did not bring along my trolley. Guess what ,no caddies , coz most of them have finished walking off with visitors from Kudat Golf Club. Sorry forgotr to mention Kelab Golf Miri is having a interclub tournament with Kudat Golf Club and me handicapp 12 was not invited . Lucky me huh !!!. whatever...
Poor start with triple bogie on 1st hole ( and you called yourself handicapp 12 , hellloooooooo!!!!!). Then bogie the 2nd hole. Now then I was thinking at the 3rd hole tee box , are you sure you want to play golf today. And the drive from the 3rd holes answer the question. With consecutive par for the next three par 4 holes , I was walking high again. Mind you at this juncture I am begining to feel the weight of my own golf bag. Then the concentration went away at tee box hole no 6. There you are another triple bogie at par 5 hole 6. Not happy with myself I began to put my mind to the golf thing and followed with another 2 par for the next two hole . Hole 9 was a bit funny. Hitthe shot with 6 iron on a par three 183 yards with a solid shot and hit the green. Hellooooo three putt after a good shot is not something I like to brag about.
Not a bad day though considering I was not playing well the other day.Saturday will be off without golf . Maybe will be at the driving range , practising . There will be guys from titliest doing some demo at the driving range from 4 pm to 7 pm. If any of you are around the area , do come along and lets whack those balls with titliest clubs. catch yer later dude...

One day if my day comes out strong...
I imagined myself owning a range of golf products and outlets all over Malaysia and South East Asia. I imagined my range of products on shelves in my very own GA outlets all over Europe and accross the USA.Imagined that and one day I will make it all comes true. Go on and imagined me pictured in major tournaments together with all the golf legends parading and using my very own golf clubs and balls. GA Balls ? GA Wedges? GA putter ? GA blades ? GA drivers ? GA fairway woods ?
Imagine that , will yer !!!
Addix Strong 13'degrees
One of the items in my golf bad is the strong 13'degrees loft spoon. Nowadays most of the modern era golf club makers and golfers alike , name it as fairway woods. For me the name spoon is still one of a kind. Not many uses 3 wood with 13'degrees loft. If any of you can name the club maker for the above club , you can be named as one of the Golf Addix. Anyway, not usually the main tools during my game. Unless I want to push for second shot to the green on a par five.

Golf in this region
Is there life in Golf ? I have seen MGA Online operating for a number of years now. But how many of these golfers knew about it. I can tell you , not many of them. They even do not realise that MGA Online can even notify changes in their handicapp on a monthly basis. Anyway , when they play golf they don't bother about internet . Should they ? or why not ? Come to think of it why even MGA bother to provide the services.
How many golf clubs in Malaysia has their own website ? How many of them know thats there is so many ways they can promote their clubs through the internet. But how many of them realise there is this thing called website , blogspot , modblog and so many other free or easy ways to promote to other golfer. I have heard claims , where on earth is this country called Malaysia ? Is there such thing as golf in Malaysia ? Does ayone realise what DAnny Chia has achieved for qualifying for The Open recently. Not many huh...
So what is the prospect and the future of this game in this region ? For me , I am currently venturing into a deep space where I dont even realise where it will bring me. But a couple of weeks ago , another felllow blogger invited me to join a sports blog based in other continent. Maybe I should turn this thing into a fulltime basis carreer or maybe not . BUt I am hopoing I could promote the country called Malaysia and its golfing facilities to the world. Also to make notes to the world , there are some good golf courses other than Mission Hills , ST Andrews , etc etc etc.
So , I was hoping other golfers to note this. Come and join me . Write to me at abdulrazak.mohamed@mostvaluablenetwork.com . We can share ideas , we can share comments , we can share pictures or etc etc etc.
If you can't improve your golf , why not together we bring greater names to the country.

1. I dont have the time
2. I am too lazy to wake up early in the morning.
3. I dont like the idea of walking in the hot sun.
4. What swing ?
5. Excuse me ! How much it cost to become a club member ?
6. Come again , how much did you say the cost of one golf set ?
7. Hang on a minute , one ball into a hole .
8. What dont you use a base ball bat ?
9. I prefer sleeping.
10. etc etc etc etc
Now ten reasons from a golfer who wish he could play golf 8 days a week :
1. I wanna try that new driver.
2. That new clubs I bought , it is perfect for me.
3. Someone is paying the green fees...
4. Meeting clients on the green...
5. Winning almost all the stakes...
6. Nothing to do at home .
7. Too much hassles at the office.
8. He owns the golf club.
9. Everyone loves to play with him.

10 most gentlemen Golfer I have met ! so far....
1. Abg Usop - Handicapp 7
He is somewhat the most loud golfer I have yet seen in this part of the world. He may be loud but deep in his heart he is a true gentlemen. He hit the ball hard and long. The only problem is he can't figure out why is it so difficult to make the putt at Saujana. There is no mistaken about Abg Usop. Dont underestimate his power , strength and most of all his jokes. I would go anywhere with this guy.
2. A Doctor CJ - Handicapp 12
What a true gentlemen. Despite the pain suffered at his left leg , he keeps on going without regret. At times I wonder I could have let this guy stop at half way and let him out of his misery. But he never did complained and asked to be excused. Instead he keeps on going and plays on and enjoy the 18 hole walking with friends. I wonder how many of them are out there in the real world.
3. AdieJIN - Handicapp Unknown
He is a gentlemen but most of the time mistakenly identified as a harsh and a bit cocky guy. His words are actually words of wisdom and most of the time are honest and true comments. He will never go wrong in this world except this world is not that kind to him . How I wish one day he would get a beutiful princess . Someone who will marry him for what he is and take him 100 % Adiejin. ...
4. A cocky Chicken Called Ayam - Handicapp irrelevant
He may look a bit weary when he plays golf. He does not have the right basic simply because he is not phisically fit to play it anyway. But his determination to play and to accompany those friends who wants to play with him is something that I admire. He is definitely not a keen golfer neither he likes to play the game. How I wish he would be able to play the game better.
5. Other than golf He is a go cart racer - Handicapp errr...15 ?
He is one of those leaders whom I look up to and has all the charisma as a leader. He has the ability to talk to people whithout hesitation. He do listen. His characteristics is something which is no longer commonly available in the organisation where I work full time. How I wish I could work with him again. Soon enough I hope...
6. Banta - Handicapp 5
Played with him during my early days of playing golf. He will not hesitate to give out tips and willing to keep an eye for mistakes when I make that swing. His full time job was handling helicopters and fly them from time to time. I have not met him for almost 7 years now.
7. Anton... - Handicapp 7
What can I say ? Need I say more about this guy....
8. KI - Handicapp + 3
Most of the time he keep reminding me of having to call me whenever I am playing my 2nd shot. Simply because he is always about 100 yards infront of us. That is a way now history. A bit closer to him whenever hitting my 2nd shot.
9. Tom - Handicapp , no one knows
A squash player who thought golf is somewhat quite similar to golf. Until today I have yet to play a game with him. Why I like him so much ? He is a leader.
10. Me myself and I , do you really thinks I will write it down here now...nahhhh

Of course it is The Open
Thinking of playing golf at St Andrews. Many did and that includes others but not me. Always wanted to save the game at the old course , not now but one day with some playing partners. What makes the course so special. Is it the first place where golf is born ? If it is , so what. I was born at a hospital somewhere is Rengit which I don't take it that special. No insult to the current population of Rengit but , why should I regard it as something special.
Lets move on to The Open. Now thats the way to do it Tiger. And guess what , now I do know I am right when I say Big Ernie is a big bully. He is that good in a tournament where all the big guns are not around. So when he is in a big crowd , so Ernie , I did watch you played that shot on par 4 was it 11th or 12th. Hitting it with a driver and end up in the bunker when your playing partner are hitting it with iron and fairway wood from the tee.
Not very long ago I used to have a different perception of the big Easy. Not anymore. Good swing but not a good tactician. Your time is over sir. So who do you think will carry the claret jug on the 18th hole this year. Many predicted Tiger will do it again. But if you looks on his statistics, Tiger never fails to win it when he is in red in his first round. Immelman might just sneak in with some magic and Luke Donald could spring in some suprises. Chris Riley , hey you got some lucky breaks today my man.
Who ever wins it ... you're most welcome to visit GA.

Of kings and good horses
A tale that had never been told to the world of golf. But it does exist almost in every part of golfing greens in the country. Which country , it is up to you to decide. King decides who gets to play and THe King also decide who gets to ride the horses.
One day , on a fine away on a greeny pastures , The King was playing golf with its good horses. The King hit a very bad shot and ended playing the worst game in his entire life not even kncking a single par on the day. One of the good horses started to play like a pro and begining to show what golf is all about, passion and skill.
The King gets irritated with its horses. The King call upon other horses which among them who likes to shit and brag about it all over the city. So the Kings and this shitty horses beginning to realise their dreams on joining the Dungeon Open will not materialised if the good horses started to play well.
The the command is given to the shitty horses. And they have executed their job very well , shitting at every single corner in the city and started to brag about it , except this time brag it with the good horses name. Then the good horses gets popular in the city but now with shitty clauses. For the rest of the epic...hit your tee shot first , the group behind us is already waiting .

What is it all about ?
A fren whom I have never seen him playing makes a rude remarks on the efforts that I have put into making this blog alive an kicking. How rude it was or whatever , I have seen much worse. Proabably the person do not have the chance to enjoy golf the way I have enjoyed golf for the last 10 years.Or he himself might have gone thru a torrid experience in trying to play golf. Well I have seen characters screaming out loud on the golf course , cursing the weather , the golf set , the caddie and even the golf course for his blunder.
Yes , in Golf the more effort you put in especially on the practise range , the level of satisfaction will be synonym to the effort you put in. However if you practise without the supervision of another better golfer or at least a teaching pro , you might end up making stupid remarks on the golf again and again.
For a fren who is somewhere out there on top of his corporate dreams , you may have the best job , but does not means your golf is much better than mine. ha ha ha...me me me.

The Open 2005
I have no favourites this year especially when for the last 2 years , no one in the top ten are close to the winner. I must admit those big guns tend to make out reasons and most of the time blaming the conditions for making bad tee shots etc etc etc. Hello.... you guys are big lazy pros. Why cant you guys accept the fact that the weather is not going to be friendly at the Open. You wanna bright sun light go to the asians countries.
I must admit I hate those guys on the top ten ranking. I believe they all should be taken away from the ranking if they do not perform well at the majors. Start making the majors as the main critieria for world ranking. Plus start taking of those players who plays the open simply because they play well in the past. Stop it once and for all.
Well simply my honest opinion is these guys are not that good anyway....

Great Balls of fire....
Other than the usual golf balls I have seen on the course , among those above are some of those unique golf balls around. I have yet to establish the right golf ball for my games. Most of the time srixon soft balls are quite cheap and affordable. At times with some extra budget , Callaway and Titliest can be the good golf balls which can be tricky at times.
My preference is still Titliest Pro V. It may a bit costly but much manageable than other balls. However one must take note different golf courses may suit different golf balls type. Hard green may requires you to play soft balatas ball. Soft green on the other hand may be usefull for soft greens like the one in Labuan.
Still , if you mess up with your swing , any balls produced to suit your swing may not be of any help.

Saturday morning Monthly medal at KGM
Started the monthly medal at 7.24 am and had to tee off from the tenth tee. I was doing well on the first nine holes , scoring 42 with some silly mistakes on both par three and a lousy tee off on par five 17th.
After missing birdie on hole 18th , I was determined to put things right on the 2nd nine. Hit the tee shot at hole no 1 perfectly an it landed on the front green and roll into the green. With only 15 feet to go , I pushed my putt and the ball ended about 1 feet to the right.
And what did I do , missed the easy putt and the misery starts to push in.....a 54 on last nine hole........

Golfer on the mat
I have recently undergoing the most trying time in my golfing years. The swing is aint there. Sunddenly after a trip to the driving range has enligthened some of the mystery.
Pick up the PW and put everything in perspective. I have come to learn that , I have been using a drag shot rather than follow through shot. On the backswing , the grip went all the way to the back and too fast.
The downswing was too relaxed and no punch in it. The shaft fixed on the blade requires a bit of speed for a swift execution. Then it is the grip and the ball position. The grip was ok at times but the end product was fade shot.
Adjusting the grip a bit to the left of the ball solves some of the problem. Slow upswing and more upright rather than beyong the shoulders and strong downswing with followthru made all the difference.
Hey ! I feel good now about making more trips to the driving range. And it feels good.
