Shitty shitty bang bang


Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward

The previous month or so had been really shitty for me. Shitty at work, shitty at golf. Had a couple of terrible golf games, hence I didn't bother blogging about it.

If you really want to know, I lost 10 balls at Octville a couple of weeks ago, most of them Pro-V1s, and gave up at the 16th hole, went to my buggy, and sulked for the rest of the game.

More recently, I shot a 116 at Palm Springs in Batam. We were playing (and putting $10 on the line) some point-based system. When Seng Wee said, "hey Josh, you scored a 70! Ong has 62.". Josh had this smug look, thinking that he had 70 points, beating me by a full 8 points. But what happened was, he had 70 strokes for the first 9, and I had 62. Upon realization, expression on his face was priceless. But having those kind of scores for 9 holes is simply embarrassing for golfers who have played for 3 years.

Anyway, let's hope for more blue skies ahead.
