Overnight golf

Aug 2013 over night golf at palm resort - lessons learned!

If it were not for a friends birthday wishes, I would not have been convinced to join an overnight golfing adventure in JB.

The day started by first working at my company knocking off early so we can travel and spend latter part of the late aftermoon early evening surveying the place. 

Lessons learned#1. Leaders need to be the 1st and last on any event! 

The night unfolded the team agreeing to go and meet up. The arrangement into a joyride with the crew as we soon found out my gps map is outdated! But with a full tanked fuel and tip top car condition, the guys enjoyed it more than the driver:( We capped the night with a wine toast with close friends who share the same passion.

Lessons learned#2. Travel prepared with updated travel guides likes maps, GPS etc.

The golfing day started with a bad news! A team member was bitten what it seemed like a wasp or centipede bite. His forefinger was badly swollen we ended up asking front reception for ointment. Good thing they seemed to know this is a normal occurence. Good thing during the course of the breakfast the swell has started to subside.

Lesson learned #3: Bring 1st aid kit!!! 

Finally, the big golf! My final score was a respectable 92. Seemed like I can now score lower 90s with my swing and club selection. I have given up on my driving but if I still would like to improve then I must be very precise in my wedge shot and putting. After all, golf is won on the putting green not tee box! 

Lessons learned: Repeatability and precision is everything. Strive to direct and focus efforts on precision! 

Well thats it! Our very first memorable golfing experiencd with friends and family members alike!
