Golf Is Fun!

Golf is fun! Don't take work, life and golf too seriously.




A guy has just returned home from a round of golf. "Bad day at the course" he tells his wife. "Charlie had a heart attack at the fifth hole". "Oh, that's terrible" the wife said. The man said: "You are telling me. All day long it was hit the ball, drag Charlie, hit the ball drag Charlie".


Do not ask your hubby silly questions. One lady did and this is what happened. "If I were to die, would you get married again and share our bed with her?" The hubby said: "I guess I might". The wife continued to probe: "What about the car, would you give to her too?" The hubby said: "Well, perhaps". "Would you also give my golf clubs to her too?" the wife asked. The hubby said: "No". The wife quickly shot back - "why not?" The husband replied: "Oh, she's left-handed".


Sometimes, we fantasise about some special equipment or balls. One guy said that there is an amazing ball that comes with beeps and lights so it won't get lost. The other golfer said: "That's fantastic! Where do you get it?" "Oh I found it."


A golfer hit a big slice off a tee which soars over the fence and went onto a highway and hits a car causing it to crash into a tree. The golfer was shocked and ran to the golf shop asking for help shouting: "I just hit a terrible slice , the ball hits a car which crashed into a tree. What should I do now?". The golf pro at the shop came out and said: "You should obviously try a stronger grip dude."


A golf buddy called his friend at home asking him to golf. The friend replied: "I am the master of this house and I can play golf anytime I want but please hold on a second while I find out if I want to".

There was a couple who has been happily married for many years. One day the wife suggested that to celebrate their decades together, they should confess to each other all the wrongs they have done in the past. So the husband started - I have an affair with the secretary for many years to which his wife responded: "That was nothing. I had a sex change before we got married." The husband became very angry shouting: "Why you cheat! All this while you have been playing from the red tee!"


A deaf-mute golfer went up to the group in front holding a card which read: "I am a deaf-mute, could you kindly allow me to play through?" The front flight told him to wait like everybody else. A short while later, a ball flew to the group in front and hit one of the golfers. Needless to say they were very angry why nobody shouted "Fore!" They turned back and saw the deaf-mute walking up to them with a driver in one hand and the other hand raised showing four fingers.


Golf is mild compared to rugby. They say football is a gentleman's game played by hooligans while rugby is a hooligan's game played by gentlemen but someone was describing a rugby game between Ireland and France. "It was a terribly violent game. The Irish skipper came off the field with a bruised testicle". The other guy said: "He must be in such great pain!" "No, no, no" came the quick reply. "It belonged to one of the Frenchmen."


On his death bed, a friend who visited told him that there were good news and bad news. "What's the good news?" "There is golf in heaven!" "And what's the bad news?" You'll be playing Hogan and Jesus at 8am!"

You are not totally crazy about golf until your other car is a golf cart. The fastest way to cut 8 strokes off your score is perhaps to skip one or two par 3s.

Golf as in life, play as it lies.

Preface It has really been awhile since I have last written and published an article on my blog with the last being in October last year. Before that I have been writing and publishing non-stop for 15 years since 2008.  I was not suffering from writer's block. They say running water never grows stale. So I have to move on to other things since the pandemic has ravaged and torn all asunder. No matter how passionate you are about anything, you will find that after an absence for sometime, the engine gets cold and you find it harder to start.  Just too darned busy and being too busy with one thing means one becomes lazy with the others. The law of compensation. A hiatus if you must.  Covid made it worse as there was no more travelling since borders were closed and eating locally and overseas were curtailed. So I could not write about these things. In fact, I laid out my travel luggage, sat down and spoke to them - "We are not gonna travel for a few years". They have since be

The Kallang Roar! (Part Three)

Back in the good old days, we have four other national teams. Besides the National Team (The Lions), we also have a B team (The Cubs). Then we also competed in the Sultan's Gold Cup fielding a team called Singapore Malays. We have the Singapore Indians playing in the Bardhan Cup and the other being the Singapore Chinese team also competing aga inst Malaysian state teams in the same format and also the Ho Ho Cup triangular among Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. In 1976, Englishman Trevor Hartley became responsible for the Singapore team at age 28. I can't remember which year Singapore beat Malacca 6-2 and Lee Bee Seng was sent off for punching an opponent who must have trampled on him. Here is Bee Seng with Brian Rozario. In the same match Quah Kim Song was sent off too for fighting. And I said wow! Malaysia Cup is like that? I like! (Pix - Lee Bee Seng with Brian Rozario). And can you believe this? Before all these we have Mike Walker who played Kim Song a

The Hainanese

The Hainanese are people from Hainan who originated from Hainan Island - the smallest province of China at the Southern most tip. They were originally fishermen from Fujian and Guandong and later settled over there. The Hainanese, part of the Chinese dispora migrated to different South East Asian countries including late comers to Singapore worked in ships as sailors, opened their own coffee shops or restaurants, bakeries or bars and worked as cooks and chefs and others at local hotels.  Hainanese in Singapore made up 7% of the Chinese population. The Hainanese came to Singapore much later than the Hokkiens and Teochews who are already well entrenched in trade and commerce. Originally they also have problems communicating with other dialect groups as their language seems unintelligible to the others but they began to carve out a name for themselves working for wealthy Europeans including as canteen operators for military bases.  Hainanese are especially with food and beverage.
