You'd learn something new everyday:
Wind blowing on your face is not as romantic as it sounds. It hurts when the wind is blowing very hard.....not to mention the kind of "ruffling" it does to your hair. |
My right hand is now shaking slightly. I can't believe it. I played only a little golf and now my right hand is shaking? Man, my wrists are weaker than I thought. Is this God's way of saying that I shouldn't be typing my journal entry?....hehe.....
My dad and my brother asked me to join them for their golf driving session today. I should have known it was a conspiracy to destroy my ego. I mean, I'm sure I'm not the only one to feel that hitting a ball with a club cannot be that difficult right? I was terribly wrong. Either that or I have worse eye-hand coordination than I thought. I shall not go into the details, though I think you can expect things like missing the ball and watching the ball roll harmlessly away. I think I should establish the setting: ALL the other golfers sending balls high into the sky, over long distances. To make things worse, there was this BIG stretch of blue area, signifying the water bodies, right in front of me and damn damn damn, I never manage to hit it beyond that area. I should probably be grateful if I can even land the ball into the "water". I mean, if I can actually manage to hit the ball, without just sending it rolling away, anywhere else is a blessing.... I felt like such a loser...haha....I was like the reserve player, because I play only when either my dad or my brother needs to rest. There weren't enough gloves either. Initially, I just share the gloves with my brother. But seriously, I never thought his hands could be so sweaty..so I just stopped using gloves altogether. This sounds like a huge whining session, but to see things in the positive light, I guess the golfing experience did teach me to appreciate Tiger Woods just a little more. I probably also shouldn't discriminate against any sports. What? Not even mud wrestling??!!! Damn, but what the hell, not like I want to try mud wrestling anytime within this life cycle... =P I feel like a pathetic sports idiot..sniff... I am now determined to take tennis lessons. Let's just hope the coach is not too handsome or something...I'm not good with handling embarrassing moments gracefully. Or I guess hitting a bigger tennis ball using a wider tennis racquet should be comparatively easier right? I shall now hide in a dark corner and sob in self-disgust...hahahaha.... |
