hmmm.....

may i say...

In girls point of view, "that impression" shud only be :
wilkang must be an attractive man to attract such pretty ladies walking into the frame whenever his camera shuttles off

its a compliment

Not only attractive, but a real gentleman with animal magnetism. Many can attest to that.

Which animal, his friends all know.

I also not shy to say I love playing with him.

eh hem...*my throat is dry all of a sudden*

lol..real attractive men will definitely rebuke this "compliment".

hi wilkang,

thks for the details, i shud be facing my 1st problem of eyesight n gripping before even entering into level 1

btw, do u mind me asking, for levels 1-5, how long approxiately will a incorrigible greenhorn be expected to go thru?

And the Pied Piper has played his tune yet again!

There is no how long Dream, the journey is never ending, that's why golf is a life long game, and the only game where a 60 year old golf professional can almost win one of the world's major golf competitions against men less than half his age.

Ur most welcome Dream.

We are not always right here, many are opinions or experiences from a certain individual's perspective. We are all still on our learning journey, the main thing is that we share, discuss, and enjoy friendship and golf................

............ You are new to the game, nothing you ask is silly, it's to learn. And we'll help where we can, with pleasure I might add.

Birdman,

those valuable experiences n opinions coming fr individuals are the most 可遇不可求 to me [opportunity which cant be asked for] its priceless i shud say...

allow me to show my appreciation...

BM..i actually have my personal 5 levels hor...LOL

Level 1 - Trying to hit the ball
Level 2 - Trying to hit straight
Level 3 - Trying to hit far
Level 4 - Eqpt junkie
Level 5 - Custom fitting

Ultimate goal - To get on the greens as much as possible and enjoy a good game.

*Above are levels i went through, may differ from others* :p

Huh??? I got it all wrong then:
I do it like this:
Firjavascript:emoticonp('')st - Eqpt junkie
Then - custom fitting
Then - trying to hit ball
Then - trying to hit far
Then - trying to hit straight...

No wonder my ball cost is much higher than even equipment

Now I have another kind of impression abt wilkang.. not only magnetic for women but also for birdman???

And what's a birdman - man with a bird?

We were all once incorrigible greenhorn in the beginning.

Time is not a factor when i am going through those levels, but rather the amount of time spent at the range and with coaches that is important.

So don't worry your little head about the time needed.

I am only approx 2 years into the game and still ding-donging around the levels.
It's always a learning process with every shot.

BTW..out of curiosity..If you don't mind me asking..What's with the eyesight and gripping??

thats comforting to me as i really afraid to become a "burden" more than a student to the "unlucky" coach, hope i may find one soon...

n many of my friends share the same reply when i mentioned to them abt picking up golf : "Huh! At this age??!!"

Haha.. you don't know what you are asking for Dream... information overload, trust me. Many of us who have been learning for years, even decades, still don't understand the game.

Just learn how to sift out what you can use from what you can't, and you won't stray too far off the path.

DWK, using ProV1 issit? I think I played behind you before then, cos I ever pick up quite a few from rough and water.

As for your last question, guess you never take bio in school right?

Just kidding...

i get u u r right... its the amount of effort n time spent on learning n practising.... i can really feel u guys r enjoying every single swing in ur life now its ur passion n love for this sport that brings u guys to where u r today...

no no, of cos i will not mind u asking, pls feel free to.

ermmm... i m experiencing intermittent blurness of my eyesight for more than a year which makes me hard to focus... it feels just like a camera trying adjust to focus for every shot...

as for the gripping thingy, my limbs r mobile, thankfully, only that my right thumb n forearm r losing the sense of touch since last month... i can move them but cant feel... oh, but tats an advantage if i need to give a punch to anyone, cos i wont feel pain

but these r definitely a big disadvantage to golf, i know

True...

Am trying to learn how to drive well (and long) - currently carries 180 max bah... first trying to "use waist rotation"... so difficult - beginning at this age
Before I got anything near to good in that - read about this "using ground as leverage" .... tried to do that but since the basic swing still nowhere near perfect - the ground leverage thingy got me to "further" my drive carry from 180 to 150...
Then read this RSS and I start missing the ball

So .. I agree - pick a coach, hopefully you get a good one, and listen well and just try to do the steps he wants you to do and keep doing it every day before trying anything new... Golfswing is a 'habit' so you need to do the swing as often as possible dream.. and 2-3 months you'll step in to level 2 - custom fitting

Birdman & i have our moments in the rain at batam, and through that forged an unbreakable playing bond.

That should give your obession with my impression a rude shock..

Dream, if you think Wilkang is attractive, wait till you see him in a wet t-shirt!

That rainy game in Batam was unforgettable!

And especially in golf Dream, it's never to late to learn, many have picked up the game in their forties and even fifties.

allow me to add...

its a pretty much straightforward question DimWit Kid hve raised


given (by DimWit Kid),
Birdman = man with a bird

and (fact),
man with a bird = A Real Man

therefore,
Birdman = A Real Man


isnt it a simple question?

How did it come about?
Any accident that caused all these?

It's always mind over matter in golf, so no disadvantages since your limbs are mobile.
As for sight, i always get distracted by my shadows so again, you might have an advantage here.

Hi DinWit Kid,

thanks for sharing ur precious n private experience:) i guess u must be a perfectionist to urself... i can feel the strong determination vibes u possess... did u spent alot of time practising? what is the advisable hours i shud set aside for practise fr my personal schedule, or recommended? i shud start planning

As for the coach, i think i will be very grateful if theres any professional willing to coach me, wont ask for much

Dream, thank you.

I also looked down to confirm, yup, Birdman it is.

thanks wilkang, so nice of u trying to ease my fear fr the beginning

shud i say : Fortunately, its not due to any accident...

but : Unfortunately, all r the symptoms arised fr my medical conditions of the brain n heart...

Dream on a more serious note, you might want to get your eyes checked if you haven't already done so, and also your arm and thumb.

Blurred vision could affect your depth perception, and make it hard to hit the ball. And you might want to make sure your arm and thumb are fine first, so that golf doesn't aggravate or worsen the condition. Intense practice and wrong swing techniques can and has given many a golfer here (myself included) golfers elbow, pinched nerves, and such.

So please take care of yourself first.
