I'm back!

Nothing is better than receiving your buddy's text message " Hi old friend, are you back? C u 2moro for golf?" on touching down in KK.

My reply of course is "U bet!" So by half past five in the morning there we were at the Golf & Country Club, raring to go on the fairway as soon as there was sufficient light to see the ball.

Another golf buddy flew in from Taiwan so we had a foursome. Mind you, after a haitus of ten days, it was not easy to hit a good shot. What more in semi-darkness but my buddy has cat's eyes. She can see in the dark! She can sight my yellow ball readily. Ah... but then I don't hit far.


It really was such a pleasure to smell the fresh air and feel the morning cool before the sun comes out in full fury.

Indeed there is no better game than golf.... it gives you the exercise, even when you're in a buggy as sometimes you would rather walk to your ball which may have decided to hide somewhere under the trees.

One of us went into every bunker and some of the bunkers are so deep with steep sides that it can take a few strokes before the ball is hurled out. Look on that as extra exercise! Especially when a shot sails over your head across the green and into another bunker on the far side! We had good laughs over that!

It's really great to be back! I look forward to the daily exercise barring the weekends. The buggy is used only once a week, the rest of the days we walk, pulling our own trolleys.
