Golf lesson to be started

Being an undergraduate in her final semester, one should concentrate on the final year project which can certainly leave a good credit on her resume as well as starting to plan for the future, supposedly. A final year project can take up most of her time – ehem, of course – a final year project of a considerable scale and level of difficulty. Like what I’m doing right now. I mean, hopefully. I really hope so.

Despite the focus on the project, still, I’m not really refrained from doing other things at the same time. Signing up for the golf lesson is probably the best proof. Longing for it for long time, at last I got this opportunity in my final semester in this university. Plucking up the courage to fit the golf lesson in my tight schedule won’t be futile. At least I take it as a good use of the university facilities. Sorry to say this, but it’s very true. Exploitation is never a virtue, it’s a permanent faux pas; this I have got to admit. But I believe that you won’t attack me with your righteous reprimands, if you knew that a proper golf lesson out there can easily cost you a bomb.

After attending a briefing on the lesson this evening, I did some reading of the basic golf etiquette. Appropriate attire, order of playing, choosing of suitable club, proper pace of playing, green etiquette, rules of cart driving, you know, stuff like that. To sum it all up, I would simply say “it’s so complicated!” The terms and rules just baffled me. I began to wonder whether I can survive playing this game which is complicated and highly demanding in etiquette. Nonetheless, it might be the strict rules and vintage etiquette which make the game grand and perceived as a luxury. So, I have no choice, but to try my best to accommodate to this game which is very different – in the sense that it symbolises a lifestyle in the world much different from the one I’m living in now. Hardships won’t be blocking my way; the only thing able to do so is me myself. But no thanks, my way there is very clear.

So buck up and go ahead!
