Definitely not the next Annika Sorenstam!!
Had my first golf lesson today...Awk..my shoulders n back are aching man..
Had always wanted to learn how to golf.. Had ever tried a li' 'swinging' the clubs at a driving range at Ho Chi Minh few years back but I was only with a friend then and he was a horrendous teacher. I ended up with blisters on my hands and was sore for a while..This time round, am determined to do it right by learning from a pro..
It went pretty well I must say, though my grip of the golf club is a li' suspect I think..Am so not used to having my left hand be the one guiding the club instead of my right arm..and I guess since I'm more of a racket sport person so the tendency is for me is to try to hit the ball with the right hand exerting strength..which is wrong..The furthest I could hit the ball was abt 50m..whereas the guys..hubby and his friend Roby performed much better..hitting at least 100m. Well, am lookin forward to next week's lesson :)
Oh yeah, there were this two ladies at the driving range and one of them was like dressed in a pink toga top and capri pants and slip-ons with heels and still managed to hit the ball decently.. Hmm, wonder whether she was there to practice or....... *coff*.
Was initially planning to to attend the
sg_ljers GMU at China Square but coz I was feeling so sticky n dirty, decided against it..but chose to watch Finding Nemo instead. Fantastic movie..the voice casting was perfect..in particularly Ellen DeGeneres as Dory..she's a hoot! .. Both kids and parents would love the movie, the latter especially, can definitely identify with the theme of the show!When the movie credits were scrolling, hubby said in a loud voice.."Let's have sushi!!! *sighh*
Could tell that I was doing it wrong when I look at the pix hubby took while I was practising my swing..My feet are supposed to be closed together and slightly bent! Yeah..hubby's definitely much better than me at this..
I was actually really tired when hubby took this pic of me..It was after I'd hit all the golf balls (@60 of them) and I was like resting my weight on the golf club.! Heh yeah..vain eh!

MIL said Aidan hardly slept when we were out..Probably at most abt 1/2 hr or so..in the afternoon and abt 1 hr in the evening..Darn, I think he's too used to be nursed to sleep in the afternoon..usually, that will knock him out for at least 2 hrs plus...Anyway...have to be prepared that Aidan's gonna sleep less in the day soon so I'd better think of more innovative ways to keep him occupied :D..
The li' bugger lyin in his new playpen :D...

and seems you had a great time without aidan, heh.
(i am still very awake...as i still 'feel' very full)
Heh..I was feelin really tired then..can see that the smile was kinda fake.:P~
hee..whenever we are out w/out Aidan, we sorta try to make the best of it by cramming as much stuff to do as possible. But I do miss him tho..our conversations are always centered ard him :D..
He's not officially a terror since he sleeps at home when I'm ard :P~
did you buy your driving club or did you rent from the driving range? how much are your lessons?
My lessons cost abt $320 for a small group of 3 persons only. It comprise of 10 sessions.
If u are really interested, get a group of pals and ask them to join u..at least if u guys become interested, u can go practice at the drivin range with them or go golfing at Malaysia :)
Where are you learning at? I almost took lessons from my friend's coach, but was too lazy. Hehe. And he charges $300 for four 1.5 hour lessons!
I'm paying $320 for 10hr lesson but with 3 persons including me in the class, which is reasonable I felt.
I'm actually still aching from the Sat session..[shows how unfit I am]
i play or rather practice golf last time too, but was too lazy to do so now... :(

I picked up golf under the influence of my ex...in aim to cultivate some kind of common interested. Now it's just me, and I'm quite hooked :P
It's a little difficult to find gals kakis to play golf with as most give up after awhile...and guys dun wanna play with gals. Imagine they hit 100m, you hit 50m...it's gonna be a looong day for them :)
I personally took 6 lessons, and now i'm just practising at the range....still no confidence go out into the greens yet....keep it up, mebbe we can form some kind of group next time? :))
Hey cool! Got kaki liao!!
This beginners class has 10 lessons in all and I'll probably take the advanced class which is another 10 lessons..Wanna take that class with me? If so,will let u know when I reach that stage..:)
read a joke about GOLF before: gentlemen only, ladies forbidden! guess it doesn't hold water now with so many pro lady golfers around! enjoy yr training!
Wait for me to come back and hit some balls ah!
Yeah, when u return, I should be able to hit a few balls accurately liao :D..
Have u started on the greens yet? If by then I am, we go Mlysia together with our other half okay?!
But golf is really not my kind of game and i don't understand why people like to play golf, hit one ball then walk so far to continue the game. NOTE: NO offence to all the golfers, JMHO only. A few of my ex-colleagues play golf for the sake of networking.

Heh..have u played golf before yourself? I havent been on the greens so I dunno how the actual playing of the game feels like but I think it's more of an analytical game since u gotta estimate stuff like distance/weight/wind factor in every shot u take..I think it can be pretty challenging coz u aren't actually competiting agst someone in a game but against urself. Well, the walking would be good for someone like me who's tryin to lose weight too :D..
Yeah, playin golf is a good way to network I guess..but not in my case. Currently, only pple who would 'network' with me are mothers hehehe
