[minusplus]

A lot of my colleagues playing. But I cannot understand the game at all leh

[jazz_samz]

No lah.. no longer that expensive now as compare to >5yrs back..

For example, if you bowl for 4 hrs.. how much would you have to pay for 4hrs worth of games?

Well... if you are keen.. I have a damn good PGA Australia pro who can coach you..;P He will ensure you have the right fundamental skills to play the game and with the fundamentals, you can improve gradually over time...

Honestly, I used to play golf "taught by friends" but somehow, my score just don't improve.. I recognise that there could be some fundamental issues and thats where I got this coach.. he corrected all the elementary mistakes (typical habits of FRIEND taught golf) and enjoy my game more than ever now...

Like all sports.. its just practice.

That may not be a bad thing bro.. cos if you tried it.. you pick up, its a habit thats hard to kill.. kekekekekeke

I guess it takes the inital interest for anyone to take up and enjoy a sport at the onset.. if you don't, its not necessary a bad thing cos you can speed your $$$ on yr watches instead.. kkekeke

Wooppee!!! The very first golfer reply..

I am using TM r7 HT driver (my new toy!!!)/Tourstage V700, big bertha 3 wood, Callaway 4H hybrid, R7 SS irons, Titleist 52deg wedge, Scotty putter and a new addition of a Bettinardi putter.

Actually I started abt 18 yrs back when I accompanied my Dad when he picked up golf. But was never THAT intersted nor able to persue it till aft I graduated...


Guess you must have the right kakis for you to continue your game... I manage to convert 4 of my friends and turn out that they are more ON THE BALL golfers than I am now.

hi jazz.....used to play golf until recently. my golf bag is collecting dust in my storeroom.

my gear. callaway 4 wood. a 2 iron for some of my tee off if wood is not accurate that day, ping iron set. titleist 52 degree and 58 degree wedge and scotty cameron putter.

used to play off 22. but think now cannot. if i go to any golf course, i will become a grass-cutter and soil digger, haha.

Btw, can go play range also la... no need to have handicap card.

Say you book a lane it's $12 per hour liddat...but you play 1 game is like $2-3 per game. Depends on how long u take to play a game though

[jazz_samz]

Hmm.. like that, a 4hr bowling session is approximately about $60.. for golf, its about $120? (on a weekday).. About double. Is that considered expensive? I guess it depends.. but its really alot cheaper now.. :0

i dun buy golf stuff now. cos i stop golfing for more than 2 yrs. used to play at least once every week. i start taking up golf in 1995 with my elder bro.....love the game and have lots of kakis too. have played in number of golf courses in singapore, malaysia, batam and bintan as well as thailand. so far, one of the best and beautiful golf course is ria bintan.
