i think it's part of the settling in process that you miss everything you were doing in your previous life.
even the simple swing of a golf club seems ages away now.
am i complaining? yeah, but knowing my priorities, it'll just be empty noises.
nonetheless, i need to make some noise, so as to keep sane. i miss golf so much that if this were campus, i'd be skipping a whole day of class just to play. but work isn't like that.
i miss the sweet scent of grass covered in the morning dew and walking down the fairway(if i manage to get the ball there), or even scouring through the thick bushes to find my wayward shots.
i am not at all a good player. i've hardly improved in the 9 years i've been playing. but my love for the game has never diminished. it just had to take a back seat, hence, improvement was always stunted.
my plans to drive round the peninsula have also not materialised. it's bloody annoying. i'd like to trawl through the place, go at my own pace, eat delicious local food, take nice pictures.
life used to be about waking up at 10 in the morning, surf the net, play my games, lunch, driving range in the evenings, dinner, then tv or web, whichever was more appealing at the time. owh, and a round of golf on sundays.
that was my previous life. current priorities dictate that the previous lifestyle can no longer be practiced. so my dear golf clubs, please have some patience until i'm settled enough to make time for you guys again. i miss you too.
