Overall gross for first 18 holes was 86. Damn green. I prefer fast and hard green than slow and soft green.
This coming Saturday will be my grandfather's 80 years old annivesary. Right after the dinner, we'll rush back to Sandakan to join the competition on Sunday. I'm looking good on the competition this week. Good luck.

Few days ago, I received my new wedge. It is Titleist Vokey Oil Can 56 degree. Still haven't try it yet. It costs RM370.00. Still wondering if it will suits me during short game or not. As well as, I bought 2 dozens of Titleist Pro V1 ball and 1 dozen of TaylorMade LDP TP Red ball. These are all soft balls which the PGA Tour player often use. I have no idea why must I use these balls but I really can feel my ball is under control when I'm at shorter distance to the pin. I've tried out PRECEPT EV, but still, I couldn't get the spin I want. It can't meet my expectation. Of course, I will only use these balls during competition. So expensive and quite a waste if i buy these balls for only practise round. I might go for golf practise later at 5pm for few holes. I stopped practise that often for this week. Quite hard to get my swing back with this shoulder. When then it will recover? Good luck to myself.

I've been quite lazy in this 2 days. I didn't go to practise my golf. So, today I must go to practise at 7pm. I lost my swing on last Sunday due to my shoulder injury. Quite struggling with golf. I'll try it out tonight and put more effort on golf. This coming event is the Mixed Foursome 2008 on the 31st of August 2008. I'll be partnering up with my dad as usual. I'm looking forward to a nice score on that day with him. This time, Mixed Foursome will be quite challenging. As this is a partnership game, A and B will decide if they tee-off at odd number's hole or even number's hole. Means, if A chooses to tee at odd number's hole, means he will tee off at hole 1,3,5,7 and so on. Respectively to B, he will tee off at even number's hole, which means hole 2,4,6,8 and so on. And then, once A hits the first shot, B will continue with second shot and each shot take turns. Unlikely with how me and my dad played in Mixed Greensome in the pasts. Mixed Greensome is also a partnership game but 2 players will tee off together and choose which ball has more advantage to continue their game. I partner with my dad for 3 times, and we got prize for 3 times. A good sense of partnership. So, this time, I'm quite confident to get top placing again in this Mixed Foursome 2008 with my dad.

Averagely, will get injured on my shoulder twice a month. Sometimes, twice in a week. I asked myself if i'm getting older and older. But then, i'm just 22 and already here pain there pain. Too much effort in golf perhaps. Almost everyday i went to practise. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday at driving range. Tuesday, Friday, Sunday in the 18-holes course. All of these are specially for preparation for next year's tournament. I was frustrated and so unsatisfied with my previous game. In this one month, my game getting improved. It just only left the short game still out of control sometimes.
Tomorrow will be the Vice-President Trophy 2008. I'm looking forward with my game. I hope i can do it well. My target is my name will be stated at any of trophies in the wardrobe. And, these are all practise before the open tournament starts in this coming 2009.

I did my game quite patiently yesterday. But however, I had been struggling with the roughs. I couldn't overcome the bad luck. No matter how solid, accurate, aggressive or anything else, the ball will sure meet the tree trunks. I aimed right fairway, the ball went to the right fairway but it went further to the front till rolled in the rough. Some more, stopped right at the root. I had been playing in the rough at least 10 holes out of 18 holes. I even striked a double par on hole-16. I got 6 pars, 1 double par, 1 triple bogey, 3 double bogeys and 7 bogeys. HAHA! Triple-bogeyed at the starting hole 3 when I topped the ball into the pond because of something affected my back swing. It should be the ground's little stone.
Two words, "BAD LUCK".

Had a long chat with Miss Kho last night about Amway stuff. However, I'm really sorry that I've rejected your offer even you gave me a detailed information. I'm not interested with such thing. I'm quite surprised too when you said it was a first time for you to recommend about this stuff. Anyway, thanks for your 'proposal'.

The August Medal will start few hours later. I hope i'll be doing great on my chip and putt. I've been struggling with that for few weeks. I'm on with Hara Singh and Abd. Karim. Hope I can perform well.

Last week, the Club just gave out the prizes for the Gold Medal League 2007-08. Greatfully, I was placed the 7th overall. The prize money was RM175.00. Thanks to the Club and myself. Haha. That's all for today.
