Golf Nature

As a golfer, just like any normal human beings, just that they play a game with sticks and balls. Alright that sounds so obscene!! Bad language, anyway, in game of golf, we played a normal round of 18 holes course, enjoying the scenery, the sandy beaches of bunkers, the ocean of ponds, the evergreen grasses of fairways and trees and at the end, we just enjoy them as a nature.
Golf in me, in what I believe is about the nature, whether is mother nature (environment) or the nature of human being (our internal thinking/mental). And you all definitely have to agree with me that when you play a round of golf, you always lose to nature. Right?

You lose to environment of the slopes, the types of grass, the contour of the fairway, the types of sand use in the bunkers, the types of soil that is used, the types of trees that is grown. No one in golf can actually get used to it, as I once commented, it is all about compensation. I'm a finance student, so I know even more detail about compensation to get the best return. haha..also nature in our mind. That whenever you are thinking something based on instincts, you still lose out, why?? Because your mental don't agree with you 100%. And it's nature in us that we will have doubts towards what we believe in. And for this case, I can explain to you that I'm a part-time semi-pro magician, I know what people believe and don't believe. And how illusion may work in most of us. I myself got trick by magician before I start tricking people. hehe..Anyway, what I can tell you all is, enjoy the game of golf, whether is it worth taking the risk or not, or whether you will always lose in it or not. Just as conclusion, enjoy it wholeheartedly and be humble with it, because in game of golf, it's all putting your personality. And always think back, if you had a bad game or a good game. Think about your flaw especially when you throw your club, and stuck it in the ground. (and the silly thing is, when you throw it, you still have to pick it up yourself--> laughing stock right), reflecting on those silly things will make you stronger that being able to have more self-controlled is being able to overcome you bad habits. Trust me! I don't throw golf clubs, I throw and kick them 25 feet up the sky and flew 40 metres from me. And that's the most silliest thing I ever did, and thinking back, I'm nothing but embarassed!

Hand Grip

This post is not about using which type of grip for your golf swing or your putting grip. This grip is about sports equipment that is equivalent helpful for our game of golf. Perhaps most of you all have seen this and have use this golf.



As the picture above shows, it is just a simple item that probably you saw it not only in gym, perhaps in a lot of homes. A very portable tool to used. The reason why I post this up is because I have this tool back in 1998, when I started golf not long. But I didn't use it, it was my brother's self-exercising tool. It was up to recently when I found it nearby my bed frame, which is ten years since then, and I started gripping and thought it will be an exercise tool for me back in college. I brought this things back to my apartment and started exercising daily for doing 30 - 60 grips on both hands for 3 times a day (usually do it while relaxing from studies, or after school, or just merely studying and gripping it). I didn't know the results not until I recently went back to range to hit some balls, and I started to feel that my grip ain't that tense as like last time. I get to feel more in control of my clubs and of course, usually after a long break you wouldn't expect too much power when delivering a shot. I was truly wrong, I get to whack a ball far and yet it seems effortless. And as I'm a lefthanded, I have the problem of hooking, and I had great superhooks that I never tried before. WOW..remarkably, I took up my driver and give it a blow. Seriously, you just have to swing it like normal, and your arms will do all the workings. But there is warning signs, for guys and girls, using this tool you would make your arms bigger. It's not a bad thing for guys, for me especially, but girls might not prefer it. And you have to coordinate more of your power with your swing. It is not a superior tool but it is a complement tool for your games. So do try it and give it a try. go to any nearby local shops should probably get you with pretty cheap price.

Request

I've set up this blog for a purpose of sharing the golf and opinions from various people. However, recently due to pack in study schedule, I couldn't update just as much. But I'm back again and this time I will be happy if anyone could suggest more topics for me to elaborate more in this blogs. Especially comments and topics you wish that I can elaborate more for you all. I'm not out of topic, just that sometimes when things got caught up, you might be lost of ideas.hehe..

Golf Swing..

In a game of golf, a swing is definitely very important. And of course I have once blogged bout this where I talk about each authentic swing that one might have. On the other hand, talking about this swing stuff, have you ever wonder why people say Tiger's swing is so nice? Of course this is normal, because all his fundamentals and body coordination is at one piece just like Tag Heuer watch. But do you know that in previous times, people mentioned about how pretty Niklaus and Player's swings are. I guess most of you all do not know this as when you pick up golf, is already in Tiger's era. Me too in Tiger Era but I like history a lot, so much just like liking golf history. Not to mention that those swings are not as nice as Tiger, but the word 'nice' in their context is the swing plane, the fundamentals and how complete they look in their swing. Authentically, perfectly and superbly just their swing. If you ever get to watch back all those past majors or History's swing, be sure to catch see how smooth they swing. The smoothness is that point that determine how nice their swing.
But not how your swing looks like Tiger or Adam Scott, is how your swing fit your body and how you swing it. That's the biggest difference and that difference is significance for your game.

Trevor Immelman - AUGUSTA 2008 WINNER!!

The every exciting competition in this season's first major tournament in Augusta last Sunday, saw the grueling and splendid performance of lots of stars. And stars definitely included Tiger Woods on the prowl for victory, but it doesn't come his way this week. And Tiger finished with a 5-under, 3 behind the champion of this year Augusta Winner. I won't disclose his name first..but just for you all to guess this young South African, Nike Sponsored stars. I have always like his mediocre short powered punch swing. And last few years when I'm still actively playing golf, I have always thought that this guy will stand a chance to excel better. Though he fumbled his career a little here and there, in European Tour, the name of TREVOR IMMELMAN had actually emerge in a couple of championship. And this time, Trevor Immelman once again proved that he is not gone, he is just waiting for the right chance, and seizing this GREEN JACKET proves everything he had work for, everything he had wanted for and everything his fans is waiting for. And with all due respect, I'll LIKE TO CONGRATULATE TREVOR FOR HIS WINNINGS. And he had a really very cute daughter..hihihihi..Hope he got a Cosy Green Jacket right on top of his body now..hihihi..

golf blog

A day to come back to blog, a day for an underdog who truly misses his way in golf to blog..and a day for history to turn back time. hehe..Sorry a thousand times that I have been truly busy with all the works here that I have now. It's not that I have no time to maintain this blog but I'm at the same time busy doing assignments and updating only one blog that is ~my life~. However, it is definitely fun to be busy in such stage that you will know what Uni life is all about. I truly got no time for golf definitely, but I did brought my golf set up here. hehe..To play some driving range which I recently found nearby my campus. But of course what I mean by nearby is 10 minutes drive. If you were to walk, probably I'll lose my belly in a month just to walk there and hit a bucket or two. How's everybody..nobody is reading my blog already I guess. hehe..Anyway, you all are free to ask or message me whenever you all wanted to. I'll be able to reply or write a post according through your request. Cause sometimes, I'll probably need some great ideas too to blog. Anyway, Augusta is coming on the way..let's wait for the excitement. How I wish I can watch live telecast here..hihihi
