Darussalam Charity Golf Tournament 08 @ Raffles Country Club
my first ever tournament. my first ever 18 holes on Singapore turf. (many more to come i hope..) It was for the darussalam mosque and some 20 years ago, that was where i went for my religious classes.
30th Jan, marks my virgin tee for a full 18 holes on Singapore ground. When bak told me to join sometimes back, i was like ,"yeah rite... i havent even go for my handicap test which was due for probably 4 months or more."
Bak was serious. I can't escape. I have to go.
I took my off day and *wooosh!*, im participating in this tourney. I was worried I screwed things up on that day. But thank god... it all went good. The reception i got was nice. Uncle Joe helped me with the admin. Some minah and makcik tudungs were made ushers and goodie bag people.

The sponsored Tshirt that we're supposed to wear was too tight for me. and they have no bigger sizes. So i have to use my own stuffs.
My first 9 hole was bad but the later i should say i did pretty well. Even though i didnt achieve par or birdie, the bogey was enuff to lit me up.
It was good that the flight were among ourselves, namely, Bak, Uncle Nang, Uncle Zain and myself. If it were to be with others, i think i might just falter. The flight before us, had a terrible tee off. That boost my morale. "Piiiiinggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!" .... we tee'ed.
For a beginner like myself, im quite proud that i didnt use more than 4 balls for this tourney. I still remember the days when i just started playing. I can safely say that my donation to the ponds could possibly hit 12 or more.

The prize presentation, for the top 10 was nice. The dinner, even though was pretty crappy, the hungry wolves just had to gobble everything. Of course im not expecting any prizes, but to my surprise, i got 9th prize for the lucky draw. It was a golf bag! Nice! Probably (let me say that again... Probably....)that should save some money.. cos wife wanted a new golf bag.
I was a happy man.... In less than 10 times on the field, I've already participated in a tournament. Not bad for a newbie. Now i want my fairway wood!!!!
