I took my very first ever golf swing with 7 iron at a driving range many years ago. Under the watch eye of my brother/coach, I chopped the iron right onto the ground, sending the ball 10m to the right. Then, I didn’t think this game would give me that much enjoyment and frustration as it had yesterday.

Yesterday morning, May 1st….. I haven’t had a magnificent outing. However, Hole 14 changed my day. Jimmy and Clarence had both teed off. The wing was coming in strong from the left and both their shots veered righted. I took a slight lean to the left and gave it a full swing… No additional force, just a nice full swing. The contact was clean and my posture was firm. I sent the ball into a high arc.  At that moment Jimmy realized that the ball was going to land on the green and got really excited. The ball landed 6 ft away from the cup and didn’t roll away. It just landed right there. At that moment, I still couldn’t comprehend how big the deal was. Then I realized, this is gonna be my first ever birdie! If I do not screw up my 6ft putt!  The putt is no longer just a putt. Both the guys gave me as much time as I needed. After reading the line, I place my position a slight lean to the right and gave it a soft stroke. The ball rolled slowly as if it were teasing me on, keeping me in suspense. One feet after another, it covered the ground. Then the moment, I hear the cluck sound from the bottom of the cup and yes I have made my first ever birdie. May 1st, hole 14, masters course at Laguna Country Club in

Singapore

. I have written myself a personal history. It was sweet. It was worth the wait and hours at the range. How badly I played leading up to the 14th no longer didn’t matter……. I have recorded my first ever Birdie.
