Ever heard of a fella called J.B. Holmes? Apparently, for the past two years. This “bomber” who has one of the most awkward swings on the PGA tour can “smite” and I mean literally smite the ball further than 85% of the golfing population can reach in two (stand aside J. Daly). Irregardless of whether it is downhill of wind assisted, I can’t honestly believe that this can be happening! I carry a handicap of 16 and although I can quite smite the ball myself (about close to 300 yards) on my best drive, I can’t believe that anyone could be able to conjure up a strike with that sort of distance and accuracy. A lot has been spoken on the new balls and equipment but in my best estimate, it can only help that much. The new drivers and balls have put a lot of golf courses to shame.

2 young golfers and a senior golfer are about to get tee off for 18 holes one day when the starter asks if they would mind a young lady joining them. When they see a beautiful and voluptuous babe, they accept readily!

For 17 holes, this babe golfs horribly. On the 18th hole, a par 5, she manages to reach the green in 4, but has a 30′ putt to sink for par. “I would give anything, do anything in the world, if I could only sink this putt”, she exclaims.

I recently had a very frustating day playing in a public course in Malaysia. I can’t expect everyone to feel the same but share your thoughts with me. The story goes…..

One fine evening in Kuala Lumpur (or rather Petaling Jaya), I was expecting to play a round of night golf with a two friends. Having learnt my previous lesson of not calling in advance to book the advance flight, we had to settle for only 9 holes. Reason being if there were insufficient flights (5 in total), the course reserves the right to turn away any flights for night golf. In which, if I may mention we couldn’t finish because the damned flight in front was too slow and upon the 7th hole we had to play in total darkness. (Please be informed that no night golf means no lights. If you can’t finish, too bad!)
