A Tribute to the Golf People!!!

First of all, I would like to wish SELAMAT HARI RAYA! to all the malays and HAPPY HOLIDAYS! to everyone... oh and Naim do bring back you great aunts rendang... I want to try!!!

...


I first took up golf at the age of 12, saw my dad swinging a golf club and was curious to try it out. Began to play seriously at 13 and have been hooked on the game ever since. These are the people who have made been my golfing buddies for quite sometime now and are loads of fun to play/be around with. They have really made the game of golf heaps interesting and crazy for me :).




ME

Me teeing off at the Selangor Amateur Open 2006.

This is me.

DANIEL


Daniel posing with his Titleist bag and gear.

Im guessing this is his 3rd shot to the par 5 8th

This is Daniel,one of my main "kaki's" for golf. First met him a couple of years back when he was in Form 1. Back then, he was known for his bad temper on the golf course. As time went by, he slowly matured and is pretty cool nowadays :P.Daniels currently studying at SMK Damansara Jaya. He hits the ball extremely long and we have long drive contests with Gavin and the gang from time to time.( He won the longest drive for the Junior Club Championship if i am not mistaken..291meters...wtf..i smell a sprinkler in play :3). He's cracks me up all the time and can be really random if he wants to. Besides that, he really has a fetish for cool looking golf attire and equipment...*cough J Lindeberg cough*... We have our bad times but it's always okay again a few minutes after. Likes to bully Jamil a lot too...poor guy.... Many new phrases and slangs were invented by this guy... many which i cannot mention here as this is a G-rated site!!! ^^. Oh yes, his dad owns a Subaru Impreza... a modified rally one WHICH he gets to drive when hes older T_T. In the meantime let me use it a bit yeh? kthxbai.
GAVIN

Gavin & Amber Chia

This is Gavin and yes, thats Amber Chia in the picture. Didn't manage to find a picture with his swing so its just this one. Gavin... another one of my main "kaki's" for golfing. Now this guy hits the ball a looooong way. He appeared in the clubs magazine as the fashion guy o the club or something. Anything from white pants with blue stripes to green camouflage to orange, he has it!!!. He also happens to own a J Linderbeg bell which from what i hear costs like 500 bucks ...rich dude. I met him a couple of years ago and we've been pretty close ever since. He and Daniel share alot of funny and random moments together.. the videos are all on my phone...beware when i figure out how to upload it!!!.

At the Clearwater Sanctuary Resort..
GAVIN: I dare you shout out loud help, help!
DANIEL: You dare?
GAVIN: I dare.
DANIEL: Go la.
GAVIN: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!
DANIEL: *Squeals some sort of gibberish in a really high pitched voice*

Oh yes, and theres the time when we stole a buggy at the Clearwater Sanctuary Resort and crashed into a motorcycle...nice going Gavin lol. He's been a great golfing partner and friend ^^.

JAMIL

Jamil posing with his golf gear.

Jamil teeing off at the 9th hole.


This is Jamil. I first met him a couple of years back at the range when he was bouncing two golf balls on the floor. He looks like a quiet sort of guy but once you get to know him, he really is an awesome and loyal friend. Being the oldest of all of us at 19 years old..he's also the shortest^^. Sometimes referred to as Sergio due to his amazing ability to pull off flop shots almost anywhere, on almost any lie. Jamil and Daniel argue a lot, usually because Daniel always teases him for no apparent reason. Back during his secondary school days, Jamil studied at SMK St John... it so happens my BM tuition teacher's from there too!!!^^. Right now, Jamil's studying in UNITAR. Another one of my main "kaki's" for golf. Used to have the same golf back at me..and i think we still have the same set of irons lol. Oh yes, he is also happily taken so congratulations on your relationship!! May it be long and fruitful ;).


PAUL

Paul trying to look horny.

This is Paul. He's one of the funniest guys you'll ever meet.Seriously, he has the best insults and comebacks...so he rarely loses an insult match *coughdanielcough*. I first met him a few years back during the Junior Clinic at the club. He shows you the true meaning of distance though as for direction...that's a different story ^^. He's really well built and is around my height. Representing Selangor for discus. I think he was Malaysia's number one discus thrower for his category at one point. My gym partner for those occasions when we hit the gym. He used to be one of my main "kaki's" but is not very active in golf...preferring to Dota and well...throw the discus. Out of everyone, i think Paul is the only person that can get Daniel to shut up when he's in one of his crazy moods :P. Paul is currently studying at SMK Taman SEA. I'm sure many of you know people from there ;).

ASHRAF

Ashraf posing with his gear and uber yellowness.

Ashraf, playing a shot to the 8th green.

This is Ashraf. He is an awesome golfer... wins a lot of competitions. Sometimes referred to as the M&M by us. His dad has a really cool job as a pilot...he gets to travel and see the world a lot. He's a really nice guy, humble and polite. Has a really smooth looking swing..which is why he is also sometimes called Mr Goosen. I don't play with him that often but we are still pretty good friends on and off the golf course.

DINIE

Dinie posing somewhere.


Dinie...attempting to hit a ball of a tree trunk while ripping his pants in the process .

Last but not least, theres Dinie! I first met this guy during Taekwando class a loooong time ago. He is a member of KGPA as well. He was at SMK Tropicana for a while but then moved to SMK DJ( same school as Daniel). He's a really great guy. I don't play with him much but we are still pretty good friends on and off the golf course.

...

Went to a my brother's business partner's open house today. It's such a small world. My mom met someone for her school and i met our ex ex ex head prefect's (Zharif Agil) Mom!!! The Rendang was awesome. Managed to control my self to 3 glasses of punch and... i got money!!!! yayy!!!!


Oh and finally, you guys have to watch this. This guy is Hiroyuki Suzuki from Japan and is one of the best yo-yo (1A style) players i've ever seen. The songs he picks are nice too!! His tricks and moves are just amazing...prepare to be astounded..

whoa it's my first time seeing a teenager interested in golfing in malaysia, and whoa i never knew there are so many! :D you guys must be really awesome hehe... sorry i'm not much into sports and golfing sounds pretty alien to me, my perception of it is that it's something that rich old men play haha. i'd love it if you can enlighten us more about golfing, and how do you young chaps play it!
