Not any other golf adventure

What a day!! I work up late yesterday morning for my golf session with a loud “oh f**k me!!”. Instead of waking up at 6am and catching the 8am ferry, I work up at 7am (after getting Tian’s message) and needed to take the 9am ferry instead.

Its amazing how much a difference that loss of one hour can be on my way to Batam:

• I needed to tear the supplementary coupon to enable my OPC car to drive after 7am costing me $20;
• I had to pay to pass through the ERP gantry costing me a good $2;
• I can’t speed my way through the PIE and ECP because the traffic started congesting;
• A jam started before the expressway exit from the ECP;
• I took me a good 10 minutes to navigate through the jam only to find out that; everyone else is going to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal (either golfers or gamblers);
• The parking lot is almost full;
• The customs queue took almost forever to get through;
• The 9am ferry is full of golfers and gamblers (mostly gamblers);
• Yeah…you get the idea

As for the game, it was good. For $85, I get a two-way ferry, green fees, buggy, a caddie and free lunch…yes, you read right…free lunch. Life is soooo sweet!!

Although my drives went a little hook’ish and slice’ish and so were my irons I felt I might have improved a tad bit on my short game. Much thanks to my Caddie’s (I can’t for the love of all things good and pure remember his name) guidance.

One thing I did notice about my game was that my putting (which is often killing me) is getting better…all thanks to Golf magazine’s tip on changing my grip. And to top it off, I got my first birdie at a pretty intimidating par 3. Oh yes it was pure orgasmic joy. I am so looking forward to going back to the green again.
