Its been about a month since i last blogged. Sorry to my loyal readers (if there are any left after the previous month). Lots of things happened from that day till today.
there were a few highs and lows (and i mean very low) during that time. In between, as working adults, we have to juggle our hectic schedule as well. I have to say it took a really big toll on me last month.
But I'm gonna focus on the good stuff, and it really does seem that things are starting to look good. Went langkawi over the recent long weekend. Drove more than 1200KM in over 3 days...
Yes, we drove around langkawi like gas was free. GOt some nice pictures during eagle feeding. We really took the Sony @300 for a good test run. Lots of nice pics were taken.
Then yesterday, i hit the driving range with EL, my usual golf kaki at KLGCC. I realised that the credit in my prepaid card was gonna expire by the end of the year and i had like 800+ balls left. So i hit about 200 balls yesterday. And thats when my proudest/happiest moment came. After practicing with several clubs, I went on to my weakest clubs, the 3 wood and the driver. Whacked a few with the driver and it hurts like hell because of its stiff shaft. Then i reluctantly turned to my 3 wood. Trusty old Nike IgniteRegular flex. Took the cover off, did some practice swings. I stepped up to the mat and lined myself up for the drive. Wriggles to loosen my wirsts a little. Swung back, cocked my wrists, and swung. FFffftttttt Tink!!! That sweet sound of the club hitting the ball at its sweetspot. And off the ball soared, as i squinted to see where it has gone. 50m, 100m, 150m, 200m!!! and it landed and roled till the end of the range...
THen I had the "OMFGWTF did i do just that??!?!" moment. Then unsure that the ball was mine, i hit another one just to make sure. the next 180m (and that was my previous all time best. and that was when i was practicing religiously) and it continued to roll to 200m. And i was like hmm... let me do it again. the next went 200m again. And i was dumbfounded. EL was like, did u just hit a 200m drive? and i was like; yeah, it seems like it.
so then i was already happy. it was like there was a halo or a sunray shining down on me. I just continued to whack as much as i possibly could. i'll nvr know if this moment ever comes back again. so yes, i milked it for all its worth. sure there were a few mishits and misdirected shots. but generally most of them reached 200m.
i was ecstatic! nvr been so happy before. It was an ego boost when the guy next to me couldnt even beat my distance with his driver. I was grinning from ear to ear. Unfortunately, it wasnt long before my hands gave way. I was happy, but very tired.
today i felt the effects oh swinging too hard. my whole body ached. my throat was also sore. sighh... but hey,i'm happy for time being.
Boodyboy, out!!
