“ Dad, am just wondering and expressing my observation”, she started. Why are you golfers prefer to hit those shots into the woods, into the water when the easier path should have been the wide fairways ?” All the coffee spurted out of my mouth as I tried to stop from laughing. The year was 1995 when it all started. While driving on the way to my in laws in Toril,Davao City, I noticed the unusual number of vehicles parked at the highway along the Bago area. I learned later after asking some bystanders that it’s the final day of the Philippine Open being held at the Apo Golf and Country Club. .
What’s noticeable after hitting those balls was, I can’t carry some distance. I swear I hit them respectable enough, not so solid but almost squarely in some shots but my 9 iron won’t carry more than 50 yards. One thing I noticed also was the grips seem so small, the shafts were shorter and the color of the grip is green. My suspicion increased further when I noticed the giggle and subtle laughing of the Tee girls. Eventually one of them got the enough courage to tell me.
