Eid ul-ftr 1428H

Ahhh...Aidilfitri or Eid ul-ftr 2007 or 1428 Hijrah

What's new with me?

I play less golf; thus it shows in the score...handicap went up to 10; no more single handicap for me.

I worry a little less about the score of my golf rounds...but worry a lot more about getting paid on time.

My savings is not as good as I thought when i quit my job and dived into my own business; so far; I'm surviving..I hope I will survive...I know I will survive... coz I'm a survivor.

In conjunction with Eid ul-ftr 1428H celebration that is coming soon, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my “Selamat Hari Raya and Maaf Zahir dan Bathin” to all of you........

and when you use my professional services and expertise, pleazzz pay me on-time... I need to play more golf!!!! he he

I'm back to my "old" self - he,he

With the back feels much better after a few good "traditional" massages; I'm swinging a lot better now. The distance is back. Got 3-birdies on the 2nd nine at PTGC last weekend; with 2 of them , back-to-back. Not bad huh?

Will play with a 1st time "golf course" beginner this Friday. Have not done that in a while; it's going to be interesting.

Charity Golf???

I was invited to a 'charity' golf in honour of the 60th birthday of one Malaysian Minister.
"How much?" My initial reaction.
"RM 350/person...What's ur handicap? " Organizer
"9..."
"Ahhh...Tan Sri was looking for a single handicapper to play with him... I can get you to be in one-flight with him...interested?"
"What is Tan Sri's handicap?" Me
"22...usually it will cost "people" RM50,000 to be in the same flight with him; for you special price...RM10,000"
"Huh??! Are you CRAZEEE!!? I'll join the "charity" golf but just put me in some other flight; won't pay that much to play with a 22 handicapper...and the norm is.... the high handicapper would have to pay to play with a single!!! Ahak

I was a bit early to a game of golf with my usual buddies. While on the hand-phone, out of curiosity, I browsed into the lost and found cabinet; and guess what I discovered.... my Taylor-Made RAC TP 8-iron. Yee Haa!!!! Got it back sucker!!!

What's in my bag???

130 meters to the green? Let's take the 8 iron, and put the ball into the green... hmmm...where's the 8 iron? Carefull now...8 iron... my "nice, and reliable" Taylor Made RAC TP 8 iron; where are you? YIKES!!!!! It's not in the bag!!! Shessh... it's missing and I don't remember the last time I used it and which course. DAMN!!!

With that, currently I got a "Callaway Big Bertha Titanium 454" Driver; R-Flex; 10 degree; Cleveland Launcher; 15 degree and 22 degree Fairway woods; S-Flex; " Taylor Made RAC TP Irons - 3-7; 9-PW; Steel shaft, S-flex, Cleveland 588-chrome 52 degree and 56 degree wedges; medium-bounce; PING Anser Putter, Callaway HX Tour or Srixon Z-urs balls.... and the old Cleveland TA-7 or TA-3 8-iron;from my previous iron sets...hmmmm... my biggest problem with this setup? The ball flight and distance between the Taylor Made and the Cleveland irons are not the same. I'm SCREWED!!!!...big time. Taylor Made... HELP!!!! I need the 8-iron of your RAC TP; not the whole set but just the 8-iron. Anybody out there that can help me?

.....hmmmmm.....

I'm spraying the balls all over the place!!!!!

I can't putt; I can't chip and I just lost my touch in pitching. Wow!!! This is serious. Don't know whether it's the lack of playing and practise time or just mental. Last week I shot 90. Haven't been in the 90 territory for quite some time now... the last time I shot over 90 was over a year ago. On hole 1, PTGC, par-4, I was 2 on; 15 feet from the hole; and I got double!!!! Sucks and Yucks.

Worse is, this week, sunday, monthly medal... and I'll be group in with the other single handicappers that can really PLAY. OUCH!!!!

PTGC Masters 2006 13/1/2007-14/1/2007

A two-days tourney. I guess there are still nine more gross golfers that's better than me at the club, coz I was not able to improve my last year position of number 10. Well, I just have to keep on practicing and keep on trying. Hmmmmm.... On the bright side, I'm still within the bracket of the top 10 best golfers of the club, ......not bad.

New year 2007...

I realize how much I miss having the "de facto" authority in deciding which path the company should go. I think it's about time for me to leave this company and jump into the "unknown" ... building up a corporation from scratch. Been toying around with the idea a few weeks now, getting verbal supports from my loyal customers, getting the business model just right to attract the right associates, etc. I will still be "in touch" in one way or the other with the current company. I hope to finalize things by February, latest March. GOOD LUCK TO ME.
