New and Excited

hi all, update after PC test. Passed, but never hit a really decent shot except for putts and approach.. lost 3 balls and best shot off the tee was into the rough.. never even found a single fairway lor..

demoralizing.. but i will persist... hahhaha.

hi...congratulation for pass PC

now u and I are the same, we are both PC holder....haha !!!

Congrats. Mine coming this week. Last night went to practice after a few days of break and found out that...... OMG, i lost my swings!
I better buck up before i start to top the ball throughout the PC test.

good luck dude. My main problem was not practising on a grass range beforehand.. it was my first time hitting off grass and I just had this phobia of digging into the dirt... I did a practice swing on my first shot and dug out a chuck of dirt.. After that practice swing.. I never recovered...

Hmm i thought digging out dirt is pretty common as long as you patch it back later?

i hv phobia of digging into the dirt too so when i swing the club on actual grass i will have some hesitation...

u can try going to occ range at nite ard 10.30pm where the lights going off, then stand at the grass patch n hit some balls from the grass to practice... errmmm but if do dig out the grass then help to step it back bah....

if u wanna practise hitting off grass, then turf city is the range for u...

Please take into consideration that there are many earthworms feasting underneath the dirt while u are chunking their chocolate...Save them please.......

turf city ground also not very soft (more sand than soil) but better than nothing. Took a few swings (maybe 10-15) with my black Nike VR wedge, removed almost all the coating, now is a rust bucket. This was a while back, still got $20 credit have not used since.

Best is Executive course noon timing (make sure no flight behind you, if got ppl, let them go first). When see nobody behind you, drop a few balls and practice :p. Good to practice those <100m shots. Can practice all kinds of shots on real course condition.

The ppl there dont really care however once suspect one gardener took one of my balls (cause i hit quite a few), held it behind him and ask me for a cigarette, which i dont have, so he kept the ball !!!
