Recently, I tried to get my proficiency certificate at the National Service Resort Country Club, at Changi!

Unload the baggage.
And just at the exact moment, RAIN. THANKS A LOT. Well, all golf games is called off for about 45 mins.
Well, thats not the best thing to see on the electronic announcement board.
Since the game is practically postponed, you know, the cafe nearby looks great!
And so does the Pro-Shop, where you can get all your equipment from.
And not surprising, the cafe too. All cafe prices actually, not pretty surprised as a matter of fact.
Blackjack? No one?
End up ordering some really light food. Very light. Sandwiches and Horlicks. Not really in that much appetite.

Soon after, the 45 mins was over, and guy which is supposed to test us comes in and get us to go!
Sorry, we are ON FOOT today. As the course is not very long, you can’t use the Buggy (E-Car) on this green (Golf Playing field).
So, I have to cross the bridge on foot, and basically walk to the green itself.
And we started playing!
( For the location of where I walked, please refer to the GPS map on the top of this post, its easier to track, anyway)

In golf, there are many rules, but one rule for sure, you have to get that ball into the hole, which in the flag (In the distance)
And you will meet many problems, like getting your ball over the water. If your ball drop into the water, there is a penalty as well ( Like a forfeit ).
And basically, water is everywhere. So try to get your ball to fly as much as possible. Make sure that liquids is out of sight.
Try not to allow your ball into the Bunker (Sand), if not its hard to get it out sometimes.
The worst thing is, if people are slow, you end up waiting for them. And if you are slow, you have people glaring at you wanting you to move faster.
How a typical course looks like.

After the test, I was informed that I passed the practical test.
Washed up, showered, and left.
Cheers.
