This is where many golfers dream of playing golf - picturesque, tranquil and expensive. There really are golfers who would jet around with their equipment just to enjoy their games. Many a wife has been sadly turned into " Golf Widows." As for Yours Sincerely ( Y S ), the golf course at Royal kedah Club, a stone's throw from the house, is all I can dream of.
This is the view from the tee-off green to the first hole. You see, the fairway is very wide so it is good for lousy golfers like Y S and yet many of my balls can go " O B " or out of bound. On a wet day, it is hard to find lost balls as they are embedded in the soft ground. Hunting for lost balls seems to be a side line for the caddies and attendants. How I wish golf balls come with a chip sensor to be found by detectors. " Beep...beeeep....beeep..." and you know where your OB balls are.
This is the three- quarter- way rest hut for golfers and if you play in the afternoon between 3.30 an 5.30 pm, cold iced water is free flowed. I think it is provided by courtesy of the caddies. There are two categories of caddies at Royal Kedah Club. The "A " caddies costing RM20.00 are the seniors with more experience to guide you and give you a tip or two while the " B " costing RM15.00 are the rookies who just carry or tow along your equipment.
This is another fairway leading to the second hole. Green and pleasing to the eyes in spite of the controversy over chemical pollution which golf courses produce. Y S will blog more in other posts.
" Go play golf. Go to the golf course. Hit the ball. Find the ball. Repeat until the ball is in the hole. Have fun. The end." Chuck Hogan.
All is fair in love and golf.
