Royal Shiwa Golf Links

Brian, Andy and I have been playing a few rounds at the local country club. Brian and i are both former rugrat swingers, so are hitting the ball well, while Andy's a novice. but it's been a little difficult.


golf is a very honest game, what you score is literally what you score, but at the Royal Shiwa, our score is a reflection of what the computer thinks we score. it's give and take though, as we're never hitting out of true long grass or a bunker.


the people that play at the Royal Shiwa have probably never been on a real course, or may have flown toNZ or Australia just for the privilege. funny, as it'd probably cost more to play on one of these computers in NZ than playing a real course, while it's vice versa here.

today i shot a 79 (+7), so i'm pretty happy with that. need to work on my putting. let's not mention Brian (whoops, just did). it was close until the last few holes.

in Christmas news, our boss asked the girls to have a party at their place on the friday before Chrissy, but as one of them is working on saturday, they thought they'd outsource it to subcontracters. we agreed to the terms, then realised our apartment is a disaster. we need to buy a few beautifying agents eg. black drapes, a few new mats to cover up the floor, and maybe Christmas decorations to cover the holes in walls and Brian's door. looking around our living room right now, it's basically a big white room. we need to get a couple of paintings or a sculpture - we'll inform the faculty we need to commission a new piece. wonder how much is in the coffers.
