today went for golf lesson again. my 4th lesson. we finally went to the greens to learn our putting. well, i am the first to get my ball into the little hole! surprise surprise! as i am always the lousiest at hitting balls at the driving range, coach says i am a gentle player.. hitting balls in a very gentle manner. and am very happy that i got the first ball in the hole! then i got another one in the hole again! so hit 2! aini hit one too!
anyway, coach says the golf course wif the 18 holes take at least 1 million to construct. so imagine, i am stepping on a piece of the million bucks! *beaming* anyway, new terms learnt at golf. the greens - that's the most expensive and well-manicured grass. the apron. then the 1st and 2nd "dunno - what" (ok, i forgotten).
putting - it's really different from playing at the range where we do our full swing and hit as far as we can. no need for our left arms to be straight. no need for our bums to perk up.. is just the feel. eyes need to be above the ball - so we need to bend a little like how the japanese bow so that when we look down, the ball is just below. swing the putter according to feel. however, body should never move. just move the shoulders, in order to swing the club. much more simple than the full swing.. more relax.
after golf, we went for drinks wif coach. coach told us a golf joke. it goes like this..
1 caucasian went to Africa to work. being an expat there, he had got not much friends in the new place so was feeling pretty lonely. so one day, as a man, he need to satisfy one of his many needs - sexual need, i mean. so he told a colleague that he need someone to keep him accompany. the colleague said that he can arrange for a girl but she can't speak english. but mr expat said that is ok, as he just need the girl for blar blar blar.. then the whole thing was arranged. and while mr expat and the native girl were pumping away that night, native girl keep going, "wala, wala..". the next day, mr expat went for a golf game. he hit really far and his cabby went, "wala, wala!!!" so he felt the urge to need to know what "wala, wala" actually mean. so he asked the cabby what it means. and mr cabby replied, "wrong hole!" .haha.. ok, i know it's a dirty joke. but coach was really funny when he said it. anyway, coach got me to sing a song wif him and he choosen the song, My Heart Will Go On. and seems like i am doing the singing most of the time. but coach was really funny.. saying things like " bell, u must go on.", "bell, i'll be there for u." over the mike. haha.. feel so embrassed as there were another group of people too.. haha
anyway, had quite a bit of fun today! decided to go swimming tomorrow after work! eat too much today! guilty!
