funny story in the bunker

played 9 holes today. wasted alot of strokes because i didn't recover well from danger such as getting stuck right at the base of the tree and i had to stand in this huge fern.

anyway the funny part of the round is that i got stuck in a high fairway bunker and tried to do something smart. i took 3 shots to come out of the bunker because i didn't open the club face of my 9iron enough.

aargh i'm being distracted. so back to the funny part.

my second shot hit the lip of the bunker and bounced back towards me, hitting my in my left ribs. ouch. i never knew how painful it was to get hit by a golf ball. imagine how much more painful it would be to get hit by a golf ball flying at full speed. eeek

anyway that is my amusing story of the day. if it made you laugh, check out my facebook page and 'like' it :)

funny story: don't lick your golf balls

there was a 65 year old man in Ireland who played golf everyday and experienced lethargy and abdominal discomfort, had dark urine and jaundice. He was diagnosed with acute hepatitis.

It was later discovered that this old man often licked his golf balls to clean them, exposing himself to the weed killer used on the greens.

This led to the golfer related hazard called ' golf ball liver'

The doctor ordered him to stop using his tongue to clean golf balls and his symptoms faded.

Funny part is that the next time the greens were sprayed with weed killer, he resumed licking his golf balls to challenge himself for a month. Obviously, his hepatitis symptoms returned.


HAHA its quite unlikely anyone I know would do that. But sometimes people just need reminding....

funny story: monkeys are so fail

the only other 'people' i can think of who loves sweet drinks as much as my family are the monkeys on the golf course. they have developed this amazing ability to sniff out your sweet drinks and snacks tucked well hidden away in your golf bag and buggy. it's not like we're carrying those packet drinks that are like in those plastic bags with the string to carry it in. they are in plastic bottles !!!

the funny thing is that this male monkey (i saw his balls) reached his hand inside the open pocket of my golf bag today and swiped my 100plus bottle. silly monkey actually bit a hole through the plastic bottle. but too bad... it was only water inside !! hahahahhas

funny story: hobbling down the buggy

aching aching after running so much on saturday, i went to play 18 holes on sunday afternoon and although i was lucky enough to be sitting a buggy, i think it would have been such a comical sight to see me hobbling up and down the buggy to get to my ball cos everytime i step off the buggy, i'd be like " ahh ahhh ahhh pain" cos my thighs were hurting haha

the cool thing about muscle aches is that it actually feels good when it hurts while playing golf. like when i turn and i feel my waist aching (i don't even know what they're called, cos they have never ached before), its like yeah ! i know i am turning in my swing hahahahahha

silly bee thought i was a plant !!

i took pictures for my latest photo album "in memory of the times in the trees" today
go to my facebook page to view all the pictures. i decided that i would only put 5 photos in each album because if not i'd run out of poses and facial expressions (especially because i want to smile in all my pictures)

this album is meaningful because it'll remind me never to give up on myself even when i keep getting into situations in the trees because i can always laugh at myself afterwards.
ps: i think i actually did make those faces when i was playing, just that no one was around to see

anyway, see how i'm wearing green shorts ??
the funny story i want to share is that there was this bee that kept flying around my shorts and my thighs thinking i'm some sort of plant when i was taking the photos!!! i don't dislike bees, i just don't want to get stung by them.

funny story in the trees

you know how annoying it is to hit a bad shot and have it land in the rough and stop in front of a tree giving you only about a foot of space to swing to get your ball out ??

i do, because my golf has been very 'natural' the past two weeks. when i say natural i mean getting close to nature ie. the trees, bushes, water.

well just the other day i was in one such situation on an index one par four. a really long hole and i had to punch my ball out. obviously i wanted it to go as far as possible so i decided to bring my club as far back as possible without hitting the tree and stop there to muster up as much energy as i could to come and punch the ball out.

as i was building up energy in my body and trying to direct it at the ball, i let out a loud fart as i was about to contact the ball. sort of like when you're in the toilet and trying to force shit out and let out gas instead.
anyway, the ball ended up where i wanted it to and i got a good laugh at myself in the trees at the same time. win-win situation. good thing no one was around to hear me heehee
