  • Uncle Lau's PC Days !!!

    I really cherished my days when i took up golf, self taught with just one Macgregor 8 iron. I would in the afternoon when than my 2 year old son would sleeps and in the care of my maid, i would take a bus down to Mandai ECG range.

    There i would whacked tons of balls after flipping many pages of golf books which i borrowed from AMK library. Of course 99% of the ball can't make it passed 5m mark....

    There a certain old man, he would sit there looking and finally he cannot TAHAN he walked over toward me and said.. " Let me help you son ! " ...And thats starts a decade of friendship with my golf buddy ..Donald Lim aka Kukup King, Singapore Maid.

    One incident till today i would laughed over a cup of kopi or to break the ice with a new golf kakis......

    Those days in Seletar base Golf Club course (now is a aerospace Hub), myself, Uncle Donald and my drinking kakis David Poh would wait patiently at the starter hut. In those days, SBGC a public course would allow PC holders to played...provide a handicapoer would then agreed to bring us in.

    Imagine every time we would smile at any golfers walking towards the starter hut and if he said he doesn't wants us, we would just say Thanks and sit down again and wait for another golfers....

    And if we will lucky we be tee off with a Handicapper Golfer....but one incident is our talk of the Decade......August 2002, temp. 32 deg........

    3 of us waited in the starter hut for an hour, than came a stout man, he agreed to takes as in as he is alone. He said he some sport coach from some insitution. On the 1st fairway 150m left to green i took out a 3 wood, he screamed at me " HEY YOU ! Why take 3 woods, used a 4 iron ! " So i used my 4 irons, the ball shanks and went over Uncle Donald head !

    2nd hole green. Uncle Donald putted like from katong to Geylang and to Woodlands, the HC man said " You play Hockey or Table tennis ah ! Even my worst boys played better than you ! "

    3nd hole teebox, nickname Airport Hole as right side is the Seletar AirPort Runway and is protected high fenches and is OB. I took a WHACKED with my old Maruman driver, a 220cc driver...the ball went forward than turn sharply to the right and OB into the thick bushes....the HC man looked at me and said " WHY ! WHY ! SO BIG SPACE INFRONT....YOU GO AND HIT TO THE RIGHT !!! Your PC you buy ah !!!!! "

    5th hole teebox, Poh habits before he tee off he would used his driver and hit the ground a few time....the HC man said to him in Hokkien " You hit the ground for what ? You pray on the ground, the ball will go futher than me mah !!!! "

    And Ladies and Gentleman !, that is the last straw our temper can hold...we 3 whacked him like we whacked a Impact Bag.....with our fist..... .....................................

    Now in present days, everytime i bring a PC or beginner to play their 1st or practise round with them, i would guide them with great care and patient to the best knowledge i know...for i always remember what that HC man said to me.....many many moon ago......

                well, I guess everyone or most people started similar way.
                I had my fair share of "abuse" from seasoned played also, damn stressed lah.

                Than i stopped and now golf bag and club gather dust, and now dont know my wife kept in which corner of the store room....

                Maybe one of these days should go to the driving range to start practicing again...one of these days

                  Master Lau, we are playing for fun not for the $$, i never take your $ rite so no worry. U play with me you can gain more valuable lesson mah, i play with you cos you are fun to be with and for me with a good a company like you, really make my day. I can play with some peoples better than you but no point cos what they are thinking only asking for strokes n $$. I dont want their money nor I dont want my money to be given to them too, Golf is the game where we can find our own self such as selfish, patient, fair, buaya, etc.

                  I learnt my golf from better player so i can improve one day, i spend alots of $ cos i lost in the games. Hope our games can be earlier lar...not till Dec 2010 that way to long . thank you
