golf @ driving range

Golf Ball Hitter
Originally uploaded by davespics.

had a go in golf at driving range today. it was a last minute decision after invites by work mates after turning them down a couple of times. not so eager at first as need to attend my's wedding buffet at her place. made up my mind as it won't take long anyway, so, pickup sm from work and head towards the driving range in tropicana.

when i got there, i had a gut feeling that i won't like it as i'm pretty sure that i can't hit it right. it will either ended up smacking on the artificial turf all the time or misses the ball completely. one of my work mate gave me a few tips and instructions on how to position your body and the proper way of gripping on a club.

absorb all those tips and started positioning myself as told. the first swing was not so good as it only went a couple of metres but at least no misses. not bad urgh!! i had more swings and i started to get the hang of it and eventually, it reaches 100metres. the feeling was so good esp the ball is heading towards the right direction and reaching the height.

the game was a good one and it's definitely a good start for me in this new sport. now, i'm really eager to have a few more go's in order to really get the hang of it. i'm pretty sure you'll need a trainer to really play the right way and it doesn't come cheap. what's the next move? well, thought of getting a cheap second hand iron and a glove maybe. nah!!! prolly will wait a little longer till i really commit to it.
