Newbie relocating to Singapore

Hi,

I am re-locating to Singapore from the US within the month (as soon as my EP gets done).
I have been lurking on this site since March, when I went there to visit my new project.
Typical weekend hack. HCP 17.
Looking to rip up some Singapore rough (never in the fairway).
BTW, Is there a special discount on greens fee for not using the fairway?

You are talking about Golf Range, you hit the ball and dont use the fairway am I right?

He is making a joke Iron Eagle...
Basically just trying to say that since he is always in the rough... Does he get a chance to pay lesser green fees cos he doesn't utilise the fairways!

Which means less maintenance for the green keeper

Sounds fair to me.... ;-)

Wow , a good joke sent to the cleaners .... Welcome to Singapore !!!

The joke for me is i din realize iron_eagle din understand the joke and took a while to understand what he [iron_eagle] is referring to. This is hilarious

I understood just try to play ignorant! ha ha..

Playing at fairway I called it gardening or cut grass b'cos of chop

400gm steak off! Divot!

How long are you guys? It seems like everyone is carrying stf or X-stf shafts.
The worst is playing with three bombers and it looks like you are laying up.

hehe.. well if that is the case then I think you should just apply for a job to maintain the rough grass you might get your green fee waive but will only be able to play on certain time windows as the rest o fthe employee

No lah ... like in any golfing community, there is a mix of long hitters and not so long hitters. There are also guys (and gals) who are not long, but deadly straight and putt well.

I personally play with very light (85gm) R flex steel shafts, and while I wish I could hit as far as the other guys, I'll just play with what I have and try to enjoy the game. However, it does make it more fun if you play off a tee that you can reach to green in regulation. If not, just take it that the course has a lot of Par 5s and you are getting great value for money.

I switched over to graphite a few years ago and it did help me with my swing spped. At my age, my body doesn't turn like it used to. Plus, I hurt my back in the Navy almost 30 years ago and it started to bother me after 40.
