I am back!
Things were pretty busy prior to the Chinese New Year break so I apologize for the lack of updates.
I am not big on the whole Chinese New Year thing so instead of visiting, I head to the golf course! We had plenty of rain here in Kuching but that didn't stop us from golfing on day 2 of the CNY.
This is hole 11 at the Samarahan Country Club. The water level is usually much lower through out the course. Although wet in places, both the Jungle and Garden 9s were very playable. In such rainy conditions, it really is a testament to the course conditions.
Also played on day 3 and the water levels had receded by then. The great thing about playing during the CNY? there were hardly any other golfers on the course and the weather was fantastic too.
In other news, Hideki Matsuyama came out on top after beating Rickie Fowler in a 4 hole play off to notch his second PGA tour win at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
I have always envied Hideki's swing. His back swing and that short pause at the top in particular is poetry in motion.
On the telly, his swing looks a tad slow, but watch it live and you will see just how fast he's turning through the ball. The clip below is from his practice round last October during the CIMB Classic 2015.
The Maybank Championship is happening next week, but I have decided to skip it this year. Hope everyone is well and playing lots of golf!
