cheapskate

when you focus, you banish all nerves, cut off all the other stuff, - like trying to impress people, like paying attention to the surrounding happenings and people, like trying to think about what wld happen if you did not make it, you just switch from the hyper-mode to the slug-mode.... you just have to look at the line again and the distance again, and take a snap shot of that into your mind, and tell your hands to start the motion to roll the ball with force and direction as mapped out in the mind.....and look at the ball leaving your putter and wait for it to stop .... and bingo, you make a par!

well, easy said than done.

remember everything needs a process, and a system to get the thing done. you cannot just step up onto the green, and look at the hole, look at the ball and just push your putter without that mental picture.

MENTAL pICTURE, that's IT!

marathon man lost all the sixes and even lost an easy chance to make a winner of the 2-hole skin, just because he did not not know how to grip a putter properly and how to put the reality in front of him into a mental picture to execute it.

george and his wife and son and daughter in-law was kind enough to invited his golf kaki's for dim sum lunch with his customer john.

as usual, david the winner talked a lot. alan was as steady as ever. marathon man ate and did not do much talking.

david touched on the subject of his american fren going thru a divorce with his wife and she was asking for an astronomical sum for that. david said, " you see my philosophy is it's better to treat you wife well, buy her good dinners, good birtday, anninersary gifts, take her to nice places.... than to go thru a divorce, which is so much more expensive than all those gifts and trips and dinners...."

marathin man said, "well, don't tell that to your wife."

"why not?"

"that she's cheap."

"sure, i did not mean that."

"the cheapest way is to sign a prenup."

"then might as well keep it single?"

"no marriage no divorce, no divorce, no price to pay."

"ha.... but the gal is not going to go for that."

"then go geylang lah! you want cheap."
