Golfing!

The only time I got  closest to golf was I taking a golf cart from point A to point B. 

Playing the game was never on my mind. 

Yes! The only popular player from the Game I had heard about was Tiger Woods for the game and his controversies, while flipping the channels on the remote. 

So, during our visit to Goa, for a friends engagement. We had the opportunity to learn about the game from scratch and also play a few strokes. 

The first time we were handed over the clubs, the stance and the hold and swing were like cricket for me, but the instructor taught us it’s nothing like cricket, the holding of the clubs need to be done in a particular way, just like gripping the bat, but here the force and the strength needed is not that much compared to cricket. 

Here the challenge is to get the golf ball in the holes in minimum chances, which could be 3-5 strokes, strokes known as Par in the game of Golf.  

The whole experience during the hour of the game was fun, and here in Golf you learn you don’t need to be physically strong, but mentally have the patience to play the ball. 

Sunday Experience !

Sunday ….no not boring ,but an adventurous Sunday .we were just thinking what to do today and So planned to go for lunch with a friend and just around the corner of our destination ,our fuel was over .we didn’t know what to do …no petrol station close by and so we had to take a rickshaw and go to the near petrol station to get fuel .
So we bought a bottle of water had a few sips and threw the rest . The petrol pump manager refused to give us fuel in the bottle since it’s banned  ,then we told the rickshaw driver they refused to give it to him too 
We then asked the manager where we could get the fuel in a bottle or container ,he suggested  another petrol station a little further .There finally we got fuel about 4 Ltrs in a container and went to the place where the car stopped we poured the fuel,went back to the petrol station and refuelled for about ₹500 and then finally went to candies for lunch @2:30.
