Within the space of the past week, I had gone onto a real course (although considered a short course with par 60) twice with Max @ Hudson Public Golf Course near Homebush. Both of us were on study leave to prepare for our MAA exam next Tuesday. It was truly a humbling experience actually as it just revealed the shortcomings of my game and how much more efforts and time I need to put in so as to do some justice to my game of golf. Haha..
Hit 101 on my very first time playing 18 holes - bad putting (sometimes averaging 4 putts a hole!)
2nd game saw improvements in my putting but bad iron plays at the back nine destroyed my reasonably good front nine.. Improved my overall score to 95 but still lots of improvements needed!
Tee-shot consistency with woods, fairway play with irons, chipping, bunker plays, consistency in direction of shots played, and plenty more! Will hit the driving range with ample knowledge of what to work on.. Haha.. With 10 months left, I know that I will have enough time and opportunities to work on my game and hopefully I will not ended feeling more and more frustrated with the game as it is a game of 'zero tolerance' and 'perfection'. *Fingers crossed*
Some pictures I took on my 2nd trip to the public golf course. By the way, for comparison purposes, we paid $18 course fees to play 18 holes. Cheap by Singapore standards...

Till my next updates on golf or any other significant happenings in my adventure in Australia, take good care all!
