Hospitalised immediately after consulting Dr Tong from Orthopaedic Associates. The trigger finger was infected.. Was on drip for 3 days and was also seen by a hand specialist there. A splint was made and i had to wear it 24/7. To stop golf till it recovers. I didnt. BUAY TAHAN. That was in Feb09.
How it happened? I ranged 4 or 5 times that week + 1 round, I have a bad golf grip I think, a very strong grip, 4 knuckles and I have been doing this for a very very long time..
Lee Carrington once told me, u want to suffer for 3 mths ( change grip ) or for the next 30 yrs?
I tape the finger with Strappal when i play now. Still hurts. ( excuse for playing in the 90s ) give me more strokes?

I once snapped my friends NS-Pro shaft at the grip while trying his club. It caused a gash in my hand and it started bleeding. The cut was quite deep. I went to the toilet, washed the wound and got some bandage from the staff at the range and continued hitting balls!!1

I do my virtual golf swing everywhere ... in the lift, in toilet, in meeting rm...

siao liao...

when 1 first started, $150 is the most i will spend on a driver (spoiled by GN), nowdays $300 is a good bargain, $400 is a good buy and $500 is normal pricing for a decent driver.

Same for putters. Nowdays will having thoughts that a SC is not a such a bad investment.

Anyways...back on topic! What are some of your golf crazy ways? Pls share!

I went to the practise range in the local golf club here a record 11 days in a row, practising for average 2 hrs each time. Driving, irons, chipping, putting

Immediately after work drive 22km to the club, abt 630pm. Practise till sunset abt 820pm, chiong all the way back to town to fetch my wife from work at 840pm. Then go home eat dinner.

And the last 90 days a record of 10 games at 4 courses.

actually i told my wife that if she cant find me or dun answer her call in an hour or so, i should be at the course than in geylang cos i rather play golf than having "tea" with xmm..............

Hahahahaha.....thanks everyone for your " Golf crazies ! " haha....thanks for sharing !

It nice to read and feel relax after a long day of work....today think i move fast about 5km

I am a crazy man but not near anyone of you, Golf is only a hobby, something i enjoy doing with old kakis or new found frens !

So, here's the big question: Did you see your game improve after such intensive practising?

nuff said.

practise swing while sleepin? How u do that? keke.
Wa seh. this is extreme crazy. haha!!

In the beginning, i told cfo tat I would at most play around 2 times at Mandai EGC per month.
For 2 to 3 mths, it went exactly like tat.

then I started goin JB, 2 times a month which I told CFO that it shall be this frequent.
For 2 to 3 mths, it went exactly like that.

Now I play 3-5 times a month which I told CFO that this is max.. no more revision to budget.
4 to 5 mths, consistently like tat.
Luckily, 1 mth oni got 4-5 saturdays, if not gona revise budget again.

Any point of time, I am standing and doing nothing (eg. waiting), my hand will start swinging..
duno y.. jus cun curb the habit the swing, be it one hand or both hands..

why not? I once kicked the wall dreaming about scoring in a football game.

I'm surprised she didn't practice kickboxing on you while she was in her sleep

Luckily she is not into kickboxing man or else I might be dead by now.

It was really quite bad. I talked in my sleep about golf, I practice swing in my sleep, and god knows what else I did in my sleep. At one stage, my wife has to cover her face with a large pillow to prevent getting hit again. Luckily we didn't end up sleeping separately.

Haha, fortunately it did. I just picked up the game seriously about 3 years ago.

And working on the short game, especially chiping and pitching the ball within 120 yds really helped me enjoy the game more.
