There you have it! Hasn’t the signs been showing? For the past few Ryder Cup meetings, the European has been whipping the US teams. And finally, the change has come. The winner of the Open Championship is none other than Padraig Harrington. And who was involved in the play-off and posted the nearest challenge, Sergio Garcia. What am I on about? The fact that everyone thought, excuse me, 90% of the golfing population thought the Claret Jug would be in Tiger’s hands by now or Phil Mickelson. Why blame them, so did I!

The problem with these guys or gals on why they hate golf is simple. In one word “ignorance”. Has it ever occurred to you that you are the problem itself! Look, I have full testimonials that “golf” is a great game. Ask my fellow blogger friends like wingz or kenny. Yes, they started like you. It looks silly and stupid! And you need to be real old to play it, Right? Wrong! You should start as young as you can, ask Mr. Tiger Woods! These are maybe some of the other reasons why people hate golf. Let’s examine a few of them;

Once in a while, you get the feeling that not everything is life is about golf. But what you have to believe in is that golf does take a part in some decisions that you do in life. Olaf has a great golfing partner, Azni. He has been golfing for nearly 10 or more years. Has a great short game and can take on anyone on his day, barring the tour professionals. But it’s not only about him but how life takes a fine turn on one’s destiny. Who would have thought that this golfer would be selling CHICCKENSSSSS!

Recently GolfNick received this question from one of my reader Umi in the Kuala Kubu Bharu post:

Golfnick, tell me more what would you expect of a golf course. From your experience on which course that you truly enjoyed your golf game most & why? — Umi, on Kuala Kubu Bharu, Malaysia

I was trying to reply and midway, I realized I’ve written long enough for a post. So I’ve decided make a post with the reply instead. After all, it is an interesting and engaging question. Thanks Umi.

Ah! Golf Courses…. how can we actually rate them? It’s a very good question actually! How does one rate a golf course? As they would say” one man’s spit is another man’s poison.” But let’s look at it from my perspective as an average weekend golfer as opposed to an actual golf professional. I supposed I should break it down into a few categories:

I got a real case of neck pain today. Why! Coz I can’t understand how some people can call themselves golfers. That’s why! Oh Yeah, occasionally you guys can control your temper and some let fly once in a while. Hey, that’s fine by me but have you no manners? My Sunday golf was really being tested to the limit this week. We were playing with Mr. Shitt and grandmaster Choo. It turned out to be real farce! Let me tell you why….

Dearest readers, as promised in the Olaf @ Golf tournament post, these are some of the pics that I have taken during the tournament. Sorry it took so long. My site admin told me that my pics were too terrible to publish but did manage to salvage a few pics here and there. Before the start I took this photo to show the beautiful scenery that Bangi Golf Resort has. The flora and fauna of this golf course is impeccable.

It surprises me to know that many golfers out there have an attitude that I will presume to call “ego trip attitude.” Is that why there are so many people out there presumably with the same mentality? Is “golf” a trip to your superior self? Perhaps it is the reason why so many golfers take it out on their clubs.
