Golf: When I was about 16 years old; I use to hate golf courses as it always bring about "flies" around the dining table when they (golf management) start to fertilize the ground. The un-pleasant smell is also very disturbing to one sensitive nose. As I grew up, I use to tell myself how crazy those guys hitting a small little ball under the hot sun (sometime in the rain) and walk towards to hit it again. As they say the rest is history.
I was drag/force into the game by one of my client when I was at 31 years of age. Till todate, I'll never forget to thank him for bringing/introducing me into this game. My focus in life (be in business, personal development or even to family) has changed from good to a better one. I use to be a very temperamental guy but things has change a lot now. From this game, I had a lot of opportunity to meet and socialize with VVIP's, make new successful friends and traveling to places that I probably don't go without reason. This fulfilling experience has broaden my mind and now I feel it's a misnomer to think that golf is a sport for the rich people and it's a waste of time and space. I would like to share one good book that I had purchased many years ago and a write-up about golf and life. I hope it'll bring about interesting info to my fellow readers.
