On the fairway and In the rough....

I started playing golf after moving to the bay area in 2000. The idea of walking and chatting with good friends through 18 holes in a sunny weekend morning attracted me to this game.

On the surface, golf seems to be very straight forward. You hit the small white ball and try to get the ball into a small cup on the green. The reality is it requires smooth swing, balance, and control. And all of these involve disciplines of consistently allowing golf clubs to drive the ball (not your power) and the abilities of managing miss shots and controlling emotions. Isn't it challenging? I guess i need to spend my whole life practicing this art of game...^_^

No wonder someone once said that "eighteen holes of golf is a perfect microcosm of life on earth - a series of small decisions, each affecting the next. A few great shots and we feel invincible, on top of the world. Then one miss-hit later, we're knee deep in the rough, wondering how we're ever going to recover".

I cannot agree more....
