My first experience on the green

My first experience on the green today was all sunshine and thunderstorms.

It started badly, as I perhaps willed it to be. During my practice swings, I swung my club deep into the turf and made quite a few potholes till I was rather embarrassed and decided to do away with the practice swings.

But with the encouragement of the instructor, plus egged on by Thomas's few shots into the bunker, I regained my confidence by focusing hard on just keeping up with the rest. And hey... I actually completed two holes and was getting a promising start on my third when.. egad!.. it rained.

We had to abandon the game.

But what was really nice about the whole trip was the slow ride on the buggy, traversing the gentle sloping terrains and cushy grass, together with Thomas on a Monday morning. Imagine, the start of the work week and I felt like I've just cheated another holiday out of him. Hehe!

Anyway, I was severely encouraged by my virgin golfing experience. Was really starting to doubt the joy of this game - being on the range is not that fun when you don't know how the game is played. Now I'm anticipating getting my PC and handicap, so that when I've finally made it in life, I can come late to work and leave early to catch my daily golf fix.

Now that may be taking it a little too far, but who says I can't dream big?

An odd introduction filled with Ws

Welcome to the inaugural first edition of cerebral nonsense.

What marks this rather uneventful day as the day I've decided to join the blogging universe?

Well, nothing actually. Today is my day off, marks my first experience on the green, and did you notice that I started my first three sentences with the letter 'W' and I've used the word 'marks' twice in three short paragraphs?

Well yes, (oh no, another W and the second Well).. I'm a rather self-conscious writer, as you can see, and a self-conscious being in general.

This is too weird. Will stop now. (another W??!!!)

Is this because I'm penning my thoughts on the worldwideweb? What's with the Ws?!
