For the last whole week, I was truly busy with examinations and assignment. Finally I get to sit down on my chair, facing the computer to continue my golf blog. So the same word over and over again, my more sincere apologies to all.
So, today my topic will be more about mental golf again. Today's mental golf will be about being able to bounce back. Probably relating to Garcia's British Open serious loss, but truly applicable to all whenever you all play golf.
Bouncing back is the ability to recover, to come back, to save or secure shots to reduce the stroke after you probably make a mistake blowing a hole or two. In PGA Tour, it is quite obvious that Tiger Woods truly have the best bouncing back status among all. Bouncing back can be the status on a particular day or even more specific one will be particular holes. Sometimes, have you met with some players, that didn't really play well at the front, but suddenly keep recovering and bouncing back as he/she gets along. If any of you who is reading this also can do those stuff, I can just salute you all and say that you all have a very cool and systematic pace in your mental game. This is purely because usually, after some blunder in a hole, players tend to get panic and instead, making more and more mistakes. But sometimes, we should learn to overcome this prob slowly. Though it is not really easy, but this ability can help you in your game. In what WAY?? What I think that it helps the most, is when you are playing with somebody you think is much better player with you. But with a cool, slow and steady mental, you can settle your mind neutrally and just wait for the other player to make mistake.
Therefore, try to learn to bounce back instead of thinking what is going to happen in the coming few holes. Don't think about any mistakes and stuff that you make in your swing when mistakes happen, just go for it. Each and every shot, just go for it. Probably the best advise is, don't over anticipate your problems. Just remain cool and try to recover it back.

OH MY GOD!!!
I guess you all know what my entry today will be about already. Seriously and totally, about Garcia lost in British Open. How can that be HAPPENING???
Seriously, I felt sad for him. There are so many factors that cause his game to falter even at the beginning of it. I don't think Garcia can get over this trauma that soon. Even the world's best player probably need a day or two to get over such sad ending. Anyway, just let me brief for some who don't know about his game on Sunday. But before that, we have to CONGRATULATE mr. PADRAIG HARRINGTON for the win. In fact, last Sunday, my mum was complaining that she seldom see Paddy won't this few times. Probably he just wanted a major for this year. Great Job, Padraig!!!
So all about Garcia now. Probably my comments ain't that professional enough. But in my third person view, I'll just comment it. I think Garcia, as a touring pro definitely know it best. In my opinion, Garcia maybe felt the pressure of being one of the youngest major winner and having to win the FIRST MAJOR under his belt. We can never know, because in the game of golf, even great professional like Garcia probably face it on the last day of the Game. Besides, probably a lot of the other guys, who is supporting him gave him too many word of advise. This seriously in someway somehow can give more pressure to a player. During his game, probably something don't 'click' as how he wanted it to be. And Garcia's bouncing back status which I think is quite high, couldn't go up to expectation. This triggers his mental and emotion into a critical period as like an egg at the tip of a horn. That's the problem and there are many more factors too.
That was the ending for a great player who fought hard but did not get it. But then, of course he will get one major in his career. So, let's just wish him all the very best in his upcoming few more tournaments.

British Open at Carnoustie..
Oh..I'm truly sorry for not updating this blog. Not that I don't want, but due to the problems that you all know already. Anyway..let's not talk about that stupid services topic and move on to the latest stories. the Headlines for today..
Garcia is on his form with yellow-clad sweater with a turtleneck red shirt, matching his cap and his golf club's grip. In fact, the truly model for TaylorMade..was in his very fine and cool form. His game was so far in A- category, but that is good enough for him and if he still maintain that A- game, tomorrow we'll see a Spaniard in the footstep Seve Ballestros to win his first ever major. Let's wish Garcia all the best for his game tomorrow. Though I can't watch it live as I will be back to my campus, but I'll keep myself updated through the Internet.
But that's not all about this post. I actually wanted to comment about Sunday's Final Round for British Open. Let tomorrow be a sunny day in Carnoustie, and let's there be no delay. And I truly hope that we can see the best battle. In fact, I was discussing with my dad that who we actually wish to be the British Open champion. No heartfeelings, we want either Garcia and surprisingly, KJ Choi to win. There can only be one winner, and our percentages goes to KJ, though after the third round he faltered terribly. The reason is, if KJ was to be the British Open Champion, he will be the FIRST ASIAN TO WIN A MAJOR IN THE GAME OF GOLF..that actually will boost other Asian PGA Tour golf player to play even better. But he is 6 strokes back, and everything will be down to Stricker and Garcia battle. And of course, Garcia is one of my idol, so let's hope the latest British Open Champion be Garcia..hehe..will keep you all updated..

Apology
Hey guys, I'm terribly sorry for not informing earlier about my truly late post. And definitely I got a reason. The reason is I just moved to Cyberjaya to study for my major in my U, so at my new place there, for the time being there is no access to Internet. And my Streamyx or broadband application is still in the process, so sorry for not being able to update the latest info and everything to you guys. Please do still support me and I'll sure to blog ASAP. Sorry once again..
