Some things just don't make sense (to me)

Today at Seletar Base, the friendly receptionist told us that we need to have proper proficiency certificates in order to play on the course. And they can throw us out of the course if we aren't proficient enough. Also, the course uncle was worried that we'll be too slow, because all 4 of us in the flight only have PCs.

So, you may be the best golfer ever, but if you don't have a handicap or PC, then you'll need endure such treatment from the golf officials. Yes, I know that generally you need to be able to hit the ball properly so that everybody on the course can move at an acceptable smooth pace. And, a PC or handicap is the surest way to determine your golfing abilities. But still... *sigh*. OK, enough bitching from me already. Point is, no PC nor handicap does not equate to lousy golf skills. Just ask SW.

Another thing I find funny about golf is the "proper attire". In almost all courses, you'll be admitted without question if you wear a collared, polo shirt. Round neck t-shirts are usually not permitted. In other words, you may be wearing the smartest, most fashionable t-shirt from say, Armani, but you cannot play on the golf course. Conversely, if you wear the most washed out, tattered, and torn collared polo shirt, you'll be allowed onto the golf course. And the funny thing is that, if you wear a "mock neck tee", you're OK. What's the big difference between a t-shirt and a mock neck tee apart from the fact that a mock neck tee covers your neck a little bit more?

Oh yah, here are the scores from today's game (Hazeman and his fiancee prefer to keep theirs private):
