Missing Clearwater Sanctuary

AH!!! Screw SPM lar!!! Make me miss my favourite tournament of the year - Clearwater Junior Open. I think it started yesterday or today? Meh, doesn't matter. Best of luck to all from Ken's Grande Academy that will be participating in the tournament! Miss you guys after 3 months absence from the golf range.


Anyway, I found a few nice pictures taken at Clearwater Sanctuary. Makes me wanna have a photography trip to there too!





Ah, for you that don't know, Clearwater Sanctuary is a golf resort built around an old tin mine. The resort is surrounded by 4 artificial lakes, which looks very very beautiful at any time of the day except midnoon =="

My favourite thing about the resort is that the chalets are situation on a peninsula-like feature, and you can have a great view of the lakes just from your room, and trust me it's a very relaxing and tranquil experience.



So... Anyone wanna go for a photography trip there together with me next year?

Golfing with Alba; Photography Session 4: KGA Kids Golf Day

Venue: UNITEN Golf Course
Time & Date: 24th of August, 9:00 a.m.
Duration: 5 hours 
Camera: Canon IXUS 80
Other Props: Golf balls
What/Who I brought along: My Approach Wedge


So I helped my coach to bring the kids out to the golf course for today. Most of them are beginners and is going into the golf course for the first time.  And there were 15-16 of them if I'm not wrong.

And had to divide them into 4 flights leh, three which were led by my coach, Wilson and me and one flight will go on their own.

My flight's kids were Ker Jing(don't like to play golf one), Isabel(not bad for a 4/5 year old girl), Jared(talks too much), and Bryan(his father talks too much)... Overall you can imagine how chaotic the situation was. First of all they had never been into the golf course before, so I have to look out and show commands just to keep them from being hit by other balls. And then I have to explain the rules for hundreds of times before they understand (they're kids anyway). And then I have got parents who are following and giving me pressure as if I am not teaching them the proper way to play golf... Grrrr....! Going crazy la~

Anyways, after that I joined Wilson and Nick's family for some nonsense gollfing LOL! Hmmm... Can't really explain how nonsensical it was, they are just pure jokers la~

So...Here are the pictures from today. Hope you'll learn something about golf just by looking at it XD...


Getting ready for the game.


Uncle Francis caddying his son Nick.


Bridgestone, the golf balls I usually play for normal game and tournaments, besides Titleist Pro.V1(this ball costs like RM20+ for one  :X ... I mean the Titleist )


The practice greens


Nick acting like pro.





Eh... Miss la~



Wilson tangan gatal.

My Approach Wedge

Hit so high.

Found some rubber seeds. Hmm... What to do to it?

You hit it of course! (It passed the water by the way)



After the game too free, so I took consecutive shots to capture the ball falling into the hole...

I liked this one, though the ball is not very clear.




And for this section I'm bringing you some moments I find interesting... Here it goes. (Note: not all the dialogues are real LOL!)






This is my coach Uncle Ken







See their reaction...






Then I did a few misc pictures lor...


Sky

Sky...Again. This picture does gives me the goosebumps, it kinda feels like it's what you see when you ascends to the Heavens after you died.

Got this taken from my house. When I look at these kind of pictures, sometimes I do wonder if there's a God, where is he hiding? Why is God hiding? 


And there ends this long post. I hope you liked it. 

So till next time, cheers~

Golfing with Alba: NO!!! Porridge!!! & EPL

Introducing "Golfing with Alba", an insight to what it's like to be the golfing me. Stay tuned :)

======================================================================

Ah...Another typical Sunday. Well today I went for training as usual, after two weeks of break from golf due to me having to buy birthday present on the last Sunday :P

So I arrived at Sri Petaling Driving Range at 10a.m. in the morning, and saw something that's not right - MY COACH WAS NOT THERE!!!

Turns out he was sick, it was not H1N1 though :) . So Wilson as usual was there, teaching the kids (tough job). No one can check my swing, sakit kepala~

Then coach came, late, but he's okay. Then after whacking around 60-70 balls, we went for lunch, me, Wilson and Coach (I call him Uncle Ken btw).
Wilson driving lor.

WTF?! We went down to KL?

Just beside Times Square

Come so far just to eat porridge. NOO!!!!

Fascinating...  Porridge does not equate to Energy... =_=


Suan le ba... Then went to Uncle Ken's house to sit for a while. Saw "Final Score" on ESPN. 

Yea football is back again, though I was never a big fan of it. Still, this season's going to be interesting, we're seeing Man U without Ronaldo, Man City with an all-star team, etc... Anyways, my favourite team won their first match :)  ...  Arsenal 6-1 Everton... Woohoo~ This should shut those critics of Wenger's policy up :P

So at 2p.m. something we went back to the driving range, and I was working on this:Yea, I was told that my club always comes down first. Have to work on that more. And needs to do more pull up, my distance is going downhill...Grrrr...

And so this has been another day of golfing. Till next time, cheers~
