they say, especially the greats who played the game, that it's 90% mental and 10% physical...

what's in my bag?
D : Callaway BB II (nahiyang na ako dito eh)

SW: Nike
LW: Taylormade
Putter: Odyssey 2 ball, that i had custom fitted so that its a belly putter

😃 the transition is really difficult because you're handsy in tennis. in golf, you use your big muscles...

Wow, single handicapper. Congrats sir! I've been playing much longer than you but i'm still way too far from your handicap. I guess after all the long uears of playing, i've never been serious in the game, as in laro na nilalaro pa. I keep on experimenting shots/swings clubs and what ever i can think of and never go to driving range to practice, fairway is where i practice kaya always an experiment. I love the game, i love going places just for the game and the perks that goes along with the game.

Baliktad tayo sir, i used to play tennis before i switch to golf. The problem with tennis for me, dapat ka-match ko lagi kalaro. Pag bano, mabwibwisit ka lang, pag magaling naman, nakakapagod. Sa bwisit ko, i broke 3 graphite rackets then after which i immediately bought 4 brand new only to hang them up in lieu of golf.

Sayang! Akin na lang...

When I tried golf medyo nakukuha ko na yung tamang swing, yung power from the legs to the hips then to the arms.
That was when I realized na di biro mag golf nakakatakot din pala at pwede ka talaga ma-injured. When the time comes siguro I'll give it a shot again.
