Choice of weapon matters!


I used to say if I really want a putter, any putter, I could just improvise my old grandma’s broomstick with a crossed plank nailed and used as a putter. Provided the hole is bigger than normal, an untrained putting stroke might just do the job. But 18 holes later how many putts would I make? 1, 2 or none. In this case the results does not matter because the stroke that produces it might be ‘retarded’ and so chances are the improvised broomstick might not last the second day.

A good carpenter might say it does not really matter if you have a good tools as long as you have the will and hunger to produce artistic craft. But that good carpenter will be the first to admit that a good tool might get the job done quickly.

There you have it.

JS will argue till he’s blue and black to say that the Taylormade iron of 2002 model (bought just after Iraq/Iran war!) might still get the job done. Let’s face it. JS will be constantly confronted by the glistering shines and reflection bouncing off JB’s newest 2008 FT iron and that distraction to JS's fragile swing posture can induce and generate cold sweat on his weak knees. Or the sweet but devastating sound of AP’s Ping wood cracking golf ball at 180 MPH is not needed to send him into tailspin every now and then.

If JS is not intimidated by that as he always claim, it’s a lie. A lie so well disguised that any weak soul will take it as the absolute truth.

If you recall yesterday’s episode which happened when all of his flight mates (RGS, AP and JB) literally fell asleep on the green (Matang hole 6) while poor JS shove and smashed what looked like an attempt at three jumping frogs next to the green behind the trees. All that happened (like it or not) under the keen observation of the president of DBNA!

JS, age maybe catching up but you still have every right to enjoy the highest form of technology man can produce today and at a cheaper price…unless chasing lost golf ball in a thick weeds and grass and ‘lalang’ is your idea of living life to the fullest!

Cheers.

Got it JS?
If you are serious about your game and really want to improve,then you have to change your "ancient" tools to the new technology tools. Need not be the latest but something that looks modern and up to date. New technology does help' He he he he he!
