Golf Lesson (1)....

PakHamid Shafie, at the par-4 hole No.5 of the Peransang Golf Course, sent his second shot into the net protecting the tee-box of the par-3 hole No 6. The ball came down to the base of the net making it impossible for him to swing a shot to get the ball out of the grass. He was entitled to a free drop and chose a comfortable spot quite a distance away from the net.

PakRoslanChik, ex-captain of the SGC, saw the action and decided to come over to make sure the drop was correctly done! Pakdokter managed to capture this golf lesson on camera......

use a club to measure one club length away from the net from where the ball is....
then mark the spot with a marker or tee....

practise to ensure you can make a swing....

drop the ball within the marker spot...

take the marker way...

now go ahead and play....

Thank you, Sir....

The November Medal at the Peransang Templer Golf Course...

The November Medal was held at the Peransang Templer Golf Club. 32 golfers filled up the 8 flights which teed off from the 1st and 10th holes of the course on this bright and sunny Sunday afternoon. Except for 'Professore' Khalip Raffar, the other 'super seniors' were absent despite a 'special category' being created for them with permission to tee-off from the white box. Perhaps some of them were indisposed and some had gone on holidays.....

Hopefully pakdokter will see them all in the major event of December - The SGC Masters!

Roslan Chik, Zaher, Fakhrunnasri, Abdullah Abd Malik..

pakdokter, Hamid Shafie, Dr Rezuan, Arham Salam...

Pakdokter played in the flight consisting of Hamid Shafie ( one year pakdokter's junior in school), Arham Salam ( one year pakdokter's senior) and Dr Rezuan, a lecturer in Engineering at the Tekcnical University of Malaysia in Malacca. Dr Rezuan was in Form 5 at STAR in 1977 - so he was many years pakdokter's junior in school.

The Peransang Templer ( at least to pakdokter) is a very challenging and tough course. The fairways are mostly narrow and tight and there are many lakes to cross in many of the holes. All in all, it punishes poor golfers like pakdokter, who had already played 18 holes in the morning at the RSGC. Pakdokter lost 3 tubes of 'new' balls' to the lakes and forests of 'Templer' and came home with less than 20 points!

Hamid Shafie did quite well to come second in the 'Senior' category and Arham made it to the 'Overall' winning list.

the ball went into the hazard on the right...

this one skirted the left jungle and stayed in the fairway....

this one was lost amongst the lotuses...

this one went straight into the water....

Why Indian Students are Disliked Abroad....

It was the first day of a school in the USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramaniam entered the fourth grade.

The female teacher said, " Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said Give me Liberty or Give me Death?"

She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up. " Patrick Henry, 1775" he said.

"Very good. Who said Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the earth?"

Again, no response except for Chandrasekhar, " Abraham Lincoln, 1863", said Chandrasekhar.

The teacher snapped at the class, " Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about our history than you do!"

She heard a loud whisper..." F___ the Indians"

"Who said that?, she demanded.

Chandrasekhar put his hand up, " General Custer, 1862"

At this point a student in the back said, " I'm gonna puke..."

The teacher glared around and asked," Alright! Now, who said that...?"

Again Chandrasekhar said, " George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991"

Now furious, another student yelled, " Oh yeah? Suck this...."

Chandrasekhar jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouted to the teacher, " Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997"

Now, with almost mob hysteria, someone said, " You, little shit! If you say anything else, I'll kill you......"

Chandrasekhar frantically yelled at the top of his voice, " Micheal Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him, 2004.."

The teacher fainted! And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, " Oh shit!...we're screwed...."

And Chandrasekhar said quietly, " I think it was the Lehman Brothers, November 4th, 2008..."
